A study shows that it is important to have positive (积极的) feelings in our daily life. Compared with some unhappy people, those who are always pleased and relaxed are less likely (可能地) to suffer from colds according to the study. The researchers from New York University said, “Being happy helps the body prevent diseases.”
“It seems that positive feelings can usually reduce the danger of illness,” said the chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.
In his earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful caught colds less often. And they seldom told their doctors that they felt uncomfortable.
In this study, Cohen's team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. In this period, they told the researchers about their happy or sad feelings every day. Two weeks later, all of them were made to catch colds by doctors, and they had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The result showed that each in the study had the same chance to fall ill. But people who were lively and relaxed said they felt happy when doing the research. Their illness was less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that if people have positive feelings, their body may produce a kind of chemical that helps beat illness. So if you care about your health, please look at the bright side and make yourself happy all the time.

You sometimes feel so close to your friends that they are like family to you. Why? A study by San Diego, a professor, has found you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Maybe this gives you the answer.
Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match.
“One percent may not sound like much to laypersons (外行),but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a huge number,” Professor Nicholas said. “In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you.'
So is it a coincidence (巧合) that you become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar sensitivity to the cold were more likely to help each other. They would make a fire to, give themselves a better chance to live. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those influencing the sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments.
Based on the findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can calculate how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes.

It's dangerous to laugh when you are chewing gum (嚼口香糖) . You may choke (噎住) on the gum. This happened to Allyson Golden, a 12-year-old girl from the US. However, she was lucky because her friend Miriam Starobin saved her with something she learned from the cartoon Sponge Bob Squarepants (《海绵宝宝》).
The two girls were in music class. Their teacher said something funny and the students began to laugh hard. Suddenly, Golden choked as the gum got stuck in her throat.
Golden said it was the most terrible moment of her life. “Suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore. I couldn't breathe,” she said.
When Starobin saw Golden's face turn purple, she thought back to Sponge Bob. In one episode (集) of the show, Sponge Bob uses the Heimlich maneuver (海姆利克氏操作法) . In this maneuver, you push on the area below a person's chest (胸腔) to force air up his or her throat and stop them from choking. Starobin pulled Golden off the ground and did the Heimlich three or four times until the gum flew out from her mouth.
When she realized what her friend had done, Golden gave Starobin a big hug and said, “You just saved my life. I owe you big time.”
Their head teacher, Audrey Goropeuschek, is proud of her student. She said Starobin is a hero.
However, Starobin didn't think that she was a hero. “Heroes are people who even give their lives to save others,”she said. “I just did something that anyone could if they tried. ”
