When I finished all of my exam, my family drove to the countryside for a holiday. On our way, my favorite scarf flew out of the window suddenly and is gone. I felt very sad, regretting that when I hadn’t kept the scarf well. Soon after, we stopped at a service station. Feel upset, I found a bench and was about to ate my sandwich when a motorcyclist pulled into the station, “Is that your blue car?” he asked me. Although I felt surprising, I nodded quickly. A man pulled out the very scarf from my backpack and handed it to me. He then returned his motorcycle and wanted to leave. I went up and repaid him thankful by giving him a hug.

Some people will say “Open your gift!” immediately upon giving you a brightly 1. (wrap) box. Some of us are happy to help tearing off the paper with much 2. (excite).

Imagine that a close friend ignores you when you arrive at his party. 1. But if you think about the situation differently, you would calm down. Using a particular emotion management strategy called reappraisal, which involves viewing an upsetting event in a positive light, is often effective in contributing to positive outcomes.
2. The research showed that if people believed feelings were malleable (可塑造的), they used reappraisal more frequently, and in return they had greater emotional health and life satisfaction.
University of Toronto researcher Brett Ford and her colleagues did another study. 3. The researchers found that the youths who believed emotions were controllable used reappraisal more and were less depressed than those who didn’t.
Does accepting our feelings impact our well-being? 4. In one research, the researchers stressed out participants by requiring them to give an impromptu (即兴的) talk. In another research, people kept daily diaries about how they handled stressors (紧张性刺激). In both cases participants who accepted their feelings experienced less negative emotions than people who judged their feelings.
“However, while emotions may be changed with efforts, that doesn’t mean they’re completely controllable,” says Eric Smith of Stanford University, “we shouldn’t expect to completely avoid or immediately remove certain of feelings. 5.”
A.It found a similar pattern.
B.You would be angry or upset, right?
C.We have beliefs about our emotions.
D.According to Ford and her colleagues, it does.
E.But we can learn to reduce them in hard times.
F.They were also less depressed and more satisfied with life.
G.Now, new research suggests our beliefs about our feelings affect us greatly.
People often think that blue light before bedtime can make it harder to sleep. It’s true that the screens on phones, computers and televisions send out plenty of blue light. But if you’re focused on blue light as a major problem affecting your sleep or your eye health, it’s time to look at it from another aspect.
As Philip Yuhas, a professor of vision, writes at The Conversation, blue light isn’t a uniquely technological evil. It’s part of sunlight, and your eyes are exposed to plenty of it all the time. You’re fine. There are studies in mice that have found blue light can damage their eyes, but mice are nocturnal creatures (夜行动物) whose eyes are different from ours. The pigments (色素) and the lenses (晶状体) of our eyes actually block blue light fairly well—so in a sense, we already have built-in blue blocking protection.
Adding more protection isn’t likely to help, though. You can buy glasses and screen filters (滤光片) that block blue light, but Yuhas points out they are probably a waste of money. These products do not block out much blue light. The leading blue-blocking anti-reflective coating, for example, blocks only about 15% of the blue light that screens send out. You could get the same reduction just by holding your phone another inch from your face.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology doesn’t recommend blue-blocking products, either. Instead, if you’re concerned about your eye health or your ability to get to sleep on time, you already know what to do.
Put the screens away at bedtime. Read a book or find something else to do. While you’re using screens, take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away (the “20-20-20” rule). If you get dry eyes when you look at screens for a long time, use eye drops labeled artificial tears.

Many people have become accustomed to saying “bless you” or “gesundheit” when someone sneezes. No one says anything when someone coughs, blows their noses or burps (打嗝), so why do sneezes get special treatment? What do those phrases actually mean, anyway?
Wishing someone well after he sneezes probably originated thousands of years ago. The Romans would say “Jupiter preserve you!” or “Salve!” which meant “good health to you” and the Greeks would wish each other “long life”. The phrase “God bless you” is due to Pope Gregory the great, who spoke it out in the sixth century during a bubonic plague epidemic (黑死病) (sneezing is an obvious symptom of one form of the plague).
The alternative term “gesundheit” comes from Germany, and it literally means “health”. The idea is that a sneeze typically comes ahead of illness. It entered the English language in the early 20th century, brought to the United States by German-speaking immigrants.
Actually every country around the globe has its own way of wishing sneezers well. People in Arabic countries say “Alhamdulillah!” which means “praise be to God”. Hindus say “Livel” or “Live well!”. Some countries have special sneezing responses for children. In Russia, after children are given the traditional response, “bud zdorov (be healthy)”, they are also told “rosti Bolshoi (grow big)”. When a child sneezes in China, he or she will hear “bai sui” which means “may you live 100 years.”
For the most part, the various sneeze responses originated from ancient superstitions (迷信). Some people believed that a sneeze caused the soul to escape the body through the nose, Saying “bless you” would stop the devil from claiming the person’s freed soul. However, some people believed that those evil spirits used the sneeze as an opportunity to enter a person’s body. There was also the misconception that the heart temporarily stopped during a sneeze (it doesn’t), and that saying “bless you” was a way of welcoming the person back to life.
