cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from cold, 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(积极的) 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 positive feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.
In this study, Cohen"s study interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews,
the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day.
After the two weeks, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The result 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 was less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people experienced 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.

A smile will tell people around you that you are a kind and friendly person. However, many people
don"t smile because they think they have ugly teeth. For example, one of my classmates, Mike, doesn"t
have very nice teeth, so that is why he seldom opens his mouth. He even says that he has lost confidence
because of his teeth. So it is very important for us to look after our teeth. In fact, a lot of people have this problem. Some people inherit teeth problems from their parents, while others" teeth are damaged because
of bad habits, like heavy smoking, eating too much sugar or not brushing teeth often. If your teeth are in
bad shape, you should see a dentist and ask for help. They can help improve your teeth and tell you how
to take care of them.
Smiling can help you to feel more confident and make other people think of you as a more friendly
person. If" you want to keep healthy, you should not only smile but also laugh. An Indian doctor called
Kataria said that young children should laugh about 300 times a day, while adults should laugh between 7
and 15 times a day. So please take this chance to smile and laugh now!

C. The writer loves pandas very much.
D. Chinese government has set up a nature reserve for pandas in Sichuan.
The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s,were only 1,000 left in the wild, the main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where panda can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves (自然保护区).Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors” . These are paths that lead from one reserve to another.No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat (栖息地) to another to look for food.②People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out.
