18.Apparently,we are safe neither at home nor in the business office.We use water in both places,but the research shows that chemicals added to our local water supply to kill harmful bacteria can have unwanted side effects.These chemicals can cause potential harm through drinking and in seemingly harmless activities as cleaning one's house.They are released(set free)from water by daily actions like water running out of tap,spraying from garden pipes,or splashing in dishwashers and washing machines.As the water is moving.these chemicals are released into the air and then breathed in.Once inside our bodies,they start to affect our health.
         Does this mean we should stop bathing?No,say the scientists,but we should put all pollution into perspective.Activities at home such as the burning of coal,cooking oil,or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic.New tugs,bedding,and even clothing give off that"new smell,"which is a sure sign of chemicals.In the office,newly applied paint,newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment,and computers release polluting chemicals,too.As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风),these chemicals can build up to become health problems.Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized.
         These facts suggest that,at a minimum,proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning.Home and office windows should be opened during good weather.Even one's car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage.
         We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers,too.For example,the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide build-up ),the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances ),and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies,not our friends) have only recently started to come to light.Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better,we can only hope that"there is no place like home."

20.It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave.(36)F But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages?Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
Scientists have recently dealt with these questions.They found that when a person is looking at your face,she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn't match the feeling that your face shows.(37)A Previously,they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken.For example,most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice,"I'm so excited."
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language,most scientists suspected that the face was more important.To test if this was true,psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out(模糊的)) that showed anger or fear.(38)G An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips.A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth.(39)D A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square,as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people.Even when people pay attention to the face,body language subtly influences which emotion they read.(40)BIf you want to be understood,it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.

A.Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.
B.So,your body language is important for telling people how you feel.
C.Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.
D.An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle,as if ready to fight.
E.Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.
F.When you do this,your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them.
G.They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.
17.Ever wonder why sometimes a hug is all you need?You can't explain it,but there's just something comforting about being in your wife's arms after a rough day or giving mom a hug after a long time apart.
A new study says the warm feeling in a hug is more than just skin deep.Researchers from the University of California,Berkeley believe that this loving feeling could have anti-aging benefits.
Oxytocin,sometimes referred to as the"love hormone(荷尔蒙)"or the"trust hormone",is responsible for those indescribable feelings we get when we're bonding with a lover or a loved one.
Levels of the hormone drop as we age,and evidence suggests that could be a contributing factor to the  deterioration of our bodies as we age.Muscle loss in particular is one of the major side effects of aging,with our bodies losing up to 5percent of our muscle mass each decade past our 30s.
In the study,published in the journal Nature Communications,researchers injected oxytocin into older mice with muscle damage.The older mice had lower levels of the hormone than younger mice initially.But after nine days,the older mice that were given the hormone healed better than those who did not.In fact,their ability to repair muscle damage was up to 80percent that of the younger mice.
The results were not only fast-acting,but provide hope for future uses of the hormone in a variety of anti-aging capacities."This is good because it demonstrates that extra oxytocin improves aged tissue stem cells(组织干细胞)without making muscle stem cells divide uncontrollably,"study co-author Wendy Cousins said in a statement.
Previous uses of anti-aging molecules have also been associated with higher cancer risk,but researchers are hopeful that oxytocin can be useful in humans without this risk.In the future,researchers of Berkeley say oxytocin could be used to fight other age-related health issues by improving bone health and even being used as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy.
Now go out and give someone a hug.

A.decreases when people get older
B.creates loving feeling on the skin
C.leads to the great loss of muscles
D.can be used in humans without any risk

A.getting fatter
B.becoming worse or less
C.growing stronger
D.dividing uncontrollably
35.What can be learned from the research?D
A.All the older mice healed faster in the research.
B.Older mice healed better than younger ones after 9days.
C.Extra oxytocin in older mice controlled muscle cell division.
D.Mice with oxytocin injection improved the ability to repair muscle damage.
