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 interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks.During the interviews，the people told researchers about 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.

1．Passage A
Many of us have read stories or seen films about space-creatures.They come to Earth in spaceships that look like flying saucer（飛碟）.These space-creatures do not look like human beings at all，but they are usually very intelligent（聰明）.In one film，they were tiny little men with large heads.When they landed on Earth，they knew exactly what to do.They went straight to the President's palace and made him their prisoner！
The stories about space-creatures are，of course，not true.Space-Creatures exist only in story-books and in films，just like giants（巨人） and fairies.
