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.Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?
| A．People talked about their feelings every day. |
| B．People were kept alone for six days. |
| C．People were given colds by doctors. |
| D．People were made to feel unhappy. |
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.. |
According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?
| A．Eating. | B．Crying. | C．Laughing. | D．Sleeping. |

The FA Cup
The FA Cup is a very special football competition.It is the oldest football competition in the world as it has been played since 1871.It is also famous for the number of football teams in England that enter.
More than 700 football teams take part in the competition every year.That is all of the teams from the four professional （职业的） leagues and hundreds of small non﹣professional clubs.These clubs come from small towns and villages from around England.
Because there are so many teams，it lasts for a very long time.The early games are only between the small teams.After six matches，the professional teams from the third and fourth league enter and then，two games later，the biggest clubs from the Premier League.
Often very small clubs will play against big teams.There have been many surprise results in the past many years.Teams from the fifth league have even won against teams from the Premier League，but a Premier League team does usually win the competition every year.However，there is always a chance of seeing a surprise result.As a result，people show great interest in the FA Cup.
It's amazing that the FA Cup has the power to change a football club，rewrite the past and shape the future.

Just the other day，I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to make friends with foreigners.As a Canadian living in China for a year，I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really caught my attention and，I must say，made me feel quite angry.In the writer's opinion，foreigners are an"opportunity （机会）"to improve your oral English；whenever you see a foreigner，American or English，you should practise speaking English with him or her.If the foreigner doesn't want answer your questions，then he or she is a nude person who you wouldn't want to spend time with anyway.I think this advice is not only incorrect，but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.
Like most other "Lao Wai" living in China，I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar （熟悉的） ways.However，I simply accept as part of being here.So far my time in China has been rewarding.I have improved my Chinese language skills，learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.
However，I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an "opportunity" to improve their oral English.I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English.I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face，insisting that I help them with the English translation.I have had people asking me non﹣stop questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner ...
Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose company （陪伴） they really enjoy.So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners，I would say that it is this：Treat foreigners as people，not opportunities.Expect to make friendships step by step，over a period of time，not in a rush. If your only reason for becoming friends with a foreigner is to improve your English，then you will probably find that you don't have a foreign friend for long.
