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’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.

The new movie The Wandering Earth becomes more and more popular. The film is directed by Frant Gwo(郭帆). In the film, the Sun is dying and will eat the Earth in 100 years. Soon it will eat the whole solar system.

There are 7 billion people on Earth. But half of our planet's population is already dead and big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are destroyed. People are living in the underground city. To save the Earth, the whole world unites and makes a big plan: Move the whole planet to another sun.

This film is mainly made from the Chinese movie industry. Before this movie is made, most people think that a Chinese-made sci-fi movie would not do as well as America, but The Wandering Earth has changed them forever.

What do you think of different kinds of reference books(参考书)? We did a survey. Here’re some of their answers.

Liu Yang: In some ways, reference books(参考书) are useful. They help us understand textbooks better. For example, if we can’t learn a language point well in English class, a reference book can help us to review the point. So I think it’s better to have such books.

Wang Qian: Reference books have some disadvantages. Some of them show answers to the exercises in textbooks(课本). This isn’t very good. Students will just copy the answers instead of thinking for themselves. Day after day, students won’t listen carefully in class.

Zheng Xia: Sometimes, reference books are useful. Some reference books show something a little more difficult than the textbooks. They challenge us and let us reach a higher level in our studies. So if you want to learn more, reference books are needed.

Liu Wei: I don’t think reference books are very helpful. If we listen to our teachers carefully and solve the problems at school, this is helpful enough. Besides, the school has already gives us a lot of homework. More reference books will only make us sick of studying. And for some subjects like English, the best way is to speak, not just to do exercises.
