Touch is one of the most important of our five senses. It is one of the first senses we develop. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world-A hug !

There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs ,you will know how important they are to share.

A recent research has shown that when people hug , the brain releases(释放)the chemical which increases our willingness to trust and reduces fear. It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart.

In 1995,a pair of newly born twins was being cared for in hospital. While one of the twins seemed quite healthy,her sister was not. After trying different medical treatments,the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian , placed the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled(依偎)up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually. How great the power of a hug is !

The need for hugs doesn't disappear as we grow older,though it seems we are less willing to give them. Research on people of all ages has proven that a hug is necessary for physical and emotional health.

Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact,a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared(恐惧的), or afraid—all of which can give you a stomach ache or a headache.

However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.

The best way to face the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, exercise, leisure(休闲), and food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably(可能) feel less stressed.
