With full rights of my children, I 38 to give them a normal and comfortable home life. I 39 a happy face for them.
I rose slowly, trying not to 40 even the least sound which might start them up 41 . I tiptoed(蹑手蹑脚地走) out of their room, 42 the door part way, and went downstairs.
And loneliness(孤独). I 43 as thought I were at the bottom(底部) of a great sea of loneliness. It all 44 together and I was at once lost. I sat there, 45 crying.
Just then, a pair of little 46 went around my middle and a little face looked up at me. I looked down into my five-year-old son’s 47 face.
I was shy to be 48 crying by my son. “I’m sorry. Ethan, I didn’t know you were stillo awake.” I don’t know why, but so many people 49 when they cry and I was no exception. “I didn’t 50 to cry. I’m just a little 51 tonight.”
“It’s okay, Daddy. It’s okay to cry; you’re just 52 .”
I couldn’t express(表达) how happy he made me, this little boy, who was simple, gave me 53 to cry. He seemed to be saying that I didn’t have to always be 54 , and that sometimes it was possible to allow myself to feel weak and let out my 55 .

Unhappy people glue（使粘牢） themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people.
The finding, announced on Thursday,   1 from a survey of nearly 30,000 American adults conducted between 1975 and 2006 as part of the General Social Survey.
2 happy people reported watching an   3   of 19 hours of television per week, unhappy people reported 25 hours a week. The results held even after   4 into account education, income, age and marital status.
In addition, happy individuals were more socially   5 , attended more religious services, voted more and   6 a newspaper more often than their less-chipper（没有精神的） counterparts.
The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness  7 more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness.
In fact, people say they like watching television: Past research has shown that when people watch television they  8   it. In these studies, participants reported that on a  9 from 0 (dislike) to 10 (greatly enjoy), TV-watching was nearly an 8.
But perhaps the high from watching television doesn't  10 .
"These conflicting data 11 that TV may provide viewers with short-run  12 , but at the expense of long-term malaise(精神欠爽)," said researcher John Robinson, a sociologist at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In this case, even the happiest campers could turn into Debbie-downers if they continue to  13 at the TV. The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing 14   push out other activities that do have more lasting  15 . Exercise and sex come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.
Or, maybe television is simply a refuge(慰藉物) for people who are already  16 .
"TV is not judgmental 17 difficult, so people with  18 social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it," Robinson and UM colleague Steven Martin write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, " 19 , chronic unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitating（使人衰弱的） and can interfere with work and most social and personal activities, but even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively  20 by a TV."
The researchers say follow-up studies are needed to tease out the relationship between television and happiness.

It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping adolescents feel on top of the world, a new study reported.
A   1   of sleep among youngsters may    2   depression and suicidal (自杀的)thoughts, according to the study by the Columbia University Medical Center.
"Our results are   3   with the theory that inadequate sleep is a risk factor for depression, working with other   4   and protective factors through multiple possible causal pathways to the development of this   5   disorder," said lead author James Gangwisch.
" 6   quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against   7 and a treatment for depression," he added in the study   8   in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.
The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high-school students, and   9 those who consistently went to bed   10 midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who turned in before 10:00 pm.
Night owls（夜猫子）also ran a 20 percent   11 risk of battling suicidal thoughts, the study added.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine   12   that adolescents should sleep at least nine hours or more a night. Those who were tucked in before 10:00 pm reported they slept   13 about eight hours and 10 minutes.
But that amount of sleep   14 significantly for those in bed after midnight.
And adolescents who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more   15 to suffer depression and 48 percent more    16 becoming suicidal, the study said.
"It is a common perception and societal   17 that adolescents do not need as much sleep as pre-adolescents, yet studies suggest that adolescents may 18   require more sleep," said Gangwisch.
"Studies have found that adolescents do not go to bed   19 enough to make up for earlier school start times, and transitions to earlier school start times have been shown to be   20 with significant sleep deprivation（剥夺）. "

Don't blame genes for aging facial skin. A new study of twins suggests you can   1   those coarse(粗糙的) wrinkles, brown or pink spots, and dilated(膨胀的) blood vessels on too much time in the sun, smoking, and being overweight.
Because twins share genes, but may have 2 exposures to environmental factors, studying twins allows an, "opportunity to control for genetic susceptibility(敏感性)," Dr. Elma D. Baron, at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and colleagues 3 in the latest issue of Archives of Dermatology.
Their analysis of environmental skin-damaging factors in 65 pairs of twins hints that skin aging is 4 more to environment and lifestyle than 5   factors.
But when it   6   skin cancer, the researchers say their findings support previous reports that   7 environment and genes affect skin cancer risk.
Baron's team   8   facial skin of 130 twins, 18 to 77 years old, who lived 9   in the northern Midwest and Eastern regions of the U.S. who were 10   the Twins Days Festival in Ohio in August 2002.
At this time, each of the twins also 11   reported how their skin burned or tanned 12    sunscreen(防晒霜), their weight, and their history of skin cancer, smoking, and alcohol drinking.
The study group   13   of 52 fraternal and 10 identical twin pairs, plus 3 pairs who were unsure of their twin status. Identical(同卵的) twins share all of their genes and fraternal twins share only about half.
From these data, the researchers 14 strong ties, outside of twin status, between smoking, older age, and being overweight, and having facial skin with evidence of environmental 15
16   contrast, sunscreen use and drinking alcohol appeared correlated with   17    skin damage.
Baron and colleagues say the current findings, which highlight ties between facial   18 and potentially avoidable 19   factors -- such as smoking, being overweight, and   20   overexposure to the sun's damaging rays -- may help motivate people to minimize these risky behaviors.

Cutting meat production and consumption by 30 percent would help to reduce carbon emissions(排放) and improve health in the most meat-loving nations, scientists said on Wednesday.
Using prediction models, British and Australian researchers  1 that improving efficiency, increasing carbon capture and 2 fossil fuel dependence in farming would not be enough to  3   emissions targets.
But combining these steps 4 a 30 percent reduction in livestock（家畜） 5   in major meat-producing nations and a similar 6 in meat-eating, would lead to "substantial population health benefits" and cut emissions, they said.
The study found that in Britain, a 30 percent 7 intake of animal-source saturated（饱和的） fat by adults would reduce the 8 of premature（过早的） deaths from heart disease by some 17 percent -- equivalent to 18,000 premature deaths reduced in one year.
In Sao Paulo, Brazil, it could mean as 9 as 1,000 premature deaths reduced in a year, they said.
10   the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are from meat production and experts say rising 11 for meat, particularly in countries with growing economies, could 12 livestock production up by 85 percent from 2000 levels 13 2030.
The scientists said global action was needed to maximize the benefits of cutting meat production and 14 , and that the environmental 15 "may apply only in those countries that currently have high production levels."
The study was 16 in The Lancet medical journal as part of a series in climate change and health 17 the Copenhagen global climate summit scheduled next month.
In a second study, British scientists found that increased walking and cycling, and 18 cars, would have a much greater impact on health 19 low-emission vehicles in rich and middle-income countries.
Andrew Haines, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and head of the research series, said delegates at Copenhagen needed "to understand the potential 20 impacts of their plans."

Are you a social butterfly, or do you prefer being at the edge of a group of friends? Either way, your genes and evolution may play a major 1 , US researchers reported on Monday.
While it may come as no surprise that genes may help explain 2 some people have many friends and others have 3 , the researchers said, their findings go just a little farther than that.
"Some of the things we find are 4   uncommon," said Nicholas Christakis of Harvard University in Massachusetts, who helped   5 the study.
"We find that how interconnected your friends are   6 on your genes. Some people have four friends who know each other and some people have four friends who don't 7 each other. 8    Dick and Harry know each other depends on Tom's 9    ," Christakis said in a telephone interview.
Christakis and colleague James Fowler of the University of California San Diego are 10    known for their studies that show obesity, smoking and happiness spread in networks.
For this study, they and Christopher Dawes of UCSD used national data that   11 more than 1,000 identical(同卵的) and fraternal（异卵的） twins’ genes. Because 12 share an environment, these studies are good for showing the impact that genes have 13 various things, because identical twins 14 all their genes while fraternal twins share just half.
"We found there appears to be a genetic tendency to introduce your friends 15 each other," Christakis said.
There could be good, evolutionary reasons 16 this. People in the middle of a social network could be secret to useful gossip, 17   the location of food or good investment choices.
But they would also be at risk of catching effects from all sides -- in which case the advantage would 18 more cautious social behavior, they wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"It may be that natural selection is 19 not just things like whether or not we can resist the common cold, but also who it is that we are going to come into 20   with," Fowler said in a statement.
