Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.

Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.

“It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.

In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.

In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.

The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. Buy for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.

Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried abut your health, look on the bright side more often.

1. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?

A．People talked about their feelings every day.

2. What did the study find?

A．People who felt happy never got ill.

B．People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.

C．People with good feelings became ill more easily.

D．People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses..

3. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?

B．Crying.

C．Laughing.

D．Sleeping.

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.

The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.

The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.

The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

1.According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier      .

A．when they are between the ages of 18 and 85 B．when they come to their old age

C．when they are in their twenties             D．when they are 18 years old

2.You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of      .

A．20               B．25               C．35               D．40

3.According to Arthur Stone, old people may      .

A．have a positive attitude towards their life     B．know how to spend money wisely

C．dream about good things every day          D．control their behaviors better

4.Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?

A．Those who are worried about getting old     B．Those who are single and unemployed

C．Those who feel unhappy all the time         D．Those who suffer from mental stress

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

It's different between western countries and eastern countries about how to keep healthy. Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance of cool yin and hot yang to be healthy. In China, herbs are the main medicine but in western countries they use tablets (藥片).

In China, if you are quiet and always tired, Chinese doctors might think you have too much yin. You should eat more hot yang food. It can give you some energy (能量). But in western countries , doctors will check (檢查) your body. They might give you some tablets to cure (治愈) your disease. People who are easily stressed out and angry might have too much yang in their bodies. Chinese doctors believe they should eat more yin food.

Now, people all over the world like herbs, because they think those herbs are healthy and they can help them eat a balanced diet.

For example, some high school and university students in the US often spend many hours as volunteers in hospital or old people’s homes. They read books for the people or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of the sick people. They clean up their houses or do the shopping. For boys who don’t have fathers there is an organization called “Big Brothers”. University students and other people take these boys to play baseball games and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.

Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.

"It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness," said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.

In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.

In this study, Cohen's interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.

The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.

Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.
