In an experiment that 41 healthy vlunteers t a cld r flu virus, researchers fund that peple with a generally sunny temper were less likely t fall ill.The findings were built n evidence that a “psitive emtinal style" can help t 42 the cmmn cld and ther illness.
"Researchers believe the reasns may be bth bjective as in happiness 43 immune functin and subjective as in happy peple being less disturbed by a sre thrat r running nse." "Peple with a psitive emtinal style may have active immune respnses t the virus,"explained lead study authr Dr. Sheldn Chen f Carnegie Melln University in Pittsburgh. "And when they d get a cld, they may interpret their ilness as being less severe."
Actually, 44 n the previus study results, Chen and his clleagues have been 45 certain that pleasant peple are, fr mst cases, less likely t catch a cld, but sme questins remained as t whether a persn's character itself brings abut the effect. Fr the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults 46 standard measures f persnality tendency, self-cnscius health and emtinal "style". Thse wh tend t be happy, energetic and easy-ging were judged as having a psitive emtinal 47 while thse wh were ften unhappy, tense and ppsed had a negative style.
The researchers gave them nasal(鼻子的)drps 48 either a cld virus r a particular flu virus. Over the next six years, the researchers cllected 49 like daily mucus(唾液) prtectin. Chen and his clleagues fund that based n bjective analysis f nse 50 , happy peple were less likely t develp a cld.
Il. Reading Cmprehensin(45')
Sectin A(15')
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fts the cntext.
Why girls d better at schl than bys?
Fr centuries, bys were tp f the class. But these days, that's n lnger the case. A new study by the OECD, a club f mstly 51 cuntries in Eurpe and Nrth America, examined hw 15-year-ld bys and girls perfrmed at reading, mathematics and science. Bys stil get smewhat better 52 at maths and physics, and in ther science curses the genders are rughly 53 . But when it cmes t the students wh really struggle and suffer at schl, the difference is 54 : bys are 50% mre likely than girls t fall shrt f basic standards in all three areas. 55 ,why are girls perfrming better at schl than their male classmates?
First, girls read mre than bys. Reading prficiency(熟练) is the basis upn which all ther learning is built.When bys dn't d well in reading, their 56 in ther schl subjects suffers t. Secnd, girls spend much mre time n their hmewrk and ut-f-class learning. 57 , girls spend five and a half hurs per week ding hmewrk while bys spend a little less than fur and a half hurs. Researchers suggest that ding hmewrk 58 by teachers is linked t better accmplishment in maths, reading and science. Bys, it appears, spend mre f their free time in the 59 wrld; they are 17% mre likely t play cperative nline games than girls every day. They als use the intermet mre.
Third, peer 60 plays a rle. A lt f bys decide early n that they are just t cl fr schl.They adpt a s-called cncept f masculinity(男子气概) that includes a disregard fr 61, which means they're mre likely t be rude and nisy in class. Teachers mark them dwn fr this. In annymus(匿名的) tests, bys perfrm better. In fact, the gender gap in reading 62 by a third when teachers dn't knw the gender f the pupil they are marking.
S what can be dne t clse this gap? Getting bys t d mre hmewrk and cut dwn n screen-time wuld help. And ffering bys a 63 t read nn-fictin wuld help t: they're keener n cmics and newspapers. But mst f all, abandning gender steretypes(旧模式) wuld 64 all students. Thus, bys in all cuntries with the best schls read much better than girls. As we knw, girls in Shanghai, Singapre and Seul are gd at mathematics, and they 65 bys frm anywhere else in the wrld.

It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in schl were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't knw enugh t really care. My lder brther and I lived with Mm in a humble huse in Detrit. We watched TV every night.
But ne day Mm changed ur wrld frever. She turned ff the TV. Our mther had nly been able t get thrugh third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we bys knew at the time.

"Yu bys are ging t read tw bks every week," she said. "And yu're ging t write a reprt n what yu read."We cmplained abut hw unfair it was. Besides, we didn't have any bks in the huse ther than Mm's Bible. But she explained that we wuld g where the bks were regardles f hw unwilling r even angry we were: "I'll drive yu t the library."

And I culd returm t them again and again with the flip f a page. Sn I began t lk frward t visiting this quiet refuge frm my ther wrld.
Nw my lder brther is an engineer and I am a dctr. Smetimes I still can't believe my life's jurney, frm a failing and indiferent student in a Detrit public schl t this psitin, which takes me all ver the wrld t teach and perfrm critical surgery.
But I knw when the jurney began the day Mm snapped ff the TV set and put us in her car fr that drive t the library.

Unless yu are n the edge f lsing everything and living in yur car(which is a very sad thing that happens t peple every day), yur perceptins f yur prblems may nt be serving yu well.

Maybe yu need t use this time t get yur bks in rder n yur cmputer r use it t jb hunt r t prmte yur business. Then again, yu may need t hire an accuntant and g n sme interviews. The pint is simple: the nly way t relieve yurself f the uncmfrtable feeling f financial pressure is t take sme kind f psitive actin.

Develp Yur Mental Strength
Mentally(精神上) strng peple are able t deal with and recver frm even the mst terrible cnditins.T develp yur mental strength, here are sme suggestins.
Believe in yurself
Yu've made it this far. 77 Hld n t it even ne mre mment, and yu can survive whatever yu're ging thrugh. It wn't be easy, s when yu feel like yu're abut t fall apart, clse yur eyes, take a deep breath and remind yurself yu can d it.
Rediscver yur interest in life
Emtinally strng peple view each day as a gift. They try t structure themselves s that the gift is taken advantage f fully. 78 --playing with leaves in the fall, drawing a small animal, r eating a sweet. Find that inner child. Be that inner child. Yur ability t be mentally and emtinally strng depends n it.
79
Des every little thing anger yu? Ask yurself why and whether these little things matter. Try cutting yur life dwn t a few key values that mean the wrld t yu, and dn't wrry abut anything else. As Sylvia Rbinsn nce said, "Sme peple think it's hlding n that makes ne strng--smetimes it's letting g."
Reach ut t thse wh mean the mst t yu
Spend time with friends and family, alng with thers wh are supprtive and psitive. If n ne is available, make new friends. And if there are n friends t be fund, help thers wh are in greater need. 80
