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 cold 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 illnesses were 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 illnesses and diseases. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.

Hello, everybody! Today I'd like to say something about life in the new era.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Above all, we are living a comfortable life now.

Sure, it's good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.

And yes, it's good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.

In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable about asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do their best on tests.

Here is a question: what if you don't get along well with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (沖突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.

However, if a certain teacher isn't your favourite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her. Here are some of those responsibilities:

Attend class and be ready to learn.

Be prepared for class with the right pencils and books.

Listen when your teacher is talking.

Do your best whether it's homework or a test.

Of the three major drinks of the world-tea, coffee and cocoa, tea is drunk by the largest number of people.

China is the homeland of tea. It is believed that China had tea as e【1】 as five to six thousand years ago, and the history of tea planting dates back to two thousand Years.

A popular saying says, "I'd rather go without salt for three days than without tea for a single day. "

Tea is also rich in various vitamins and, for smokers, it helps to remove nicotine from the body. After drinking wine, strong tea may prove to be a good way to k【7】one's mind clear.

However, too much strong tea is bad for the s【8】 and can cause indigestion（消化不良）. Drinking strong tea just before bedtime will make it hard for people to fall a【9】. Often drinking very strong tea may give some people heart and blood pressure disorders （混亂）, and make the teeth of young people turn brown. But it is not d【10】 to prevent these undesirable（不受歡迎的）effects: just don't make your tea too strong.
