When someone is happy, can you smell it?

You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org.

For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.

Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.

Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.

“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.

This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.

Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies(香味疗法)could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.

Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.

1.What is the main finding of the new research?

A. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.

B. Negative emotions have a smell.

C. Men produce more sweats.

D. Women have a better sense of smell.

2.The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.

A. continue B. practice C. avoid D. try

3.What is the application value of the new research?

A. Perfumes could help people understand each other.

B. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.

C. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.

D. Some smells could be developed to better our mood.

4. We can learn from the last paragraph that .

A. happiness comes from a scent of sweat

B. social surroundings can influence our emotions

C. people need more emotional communication

D. positive energy can deepen understanding

Quick tips for better time management

Are you a good time manager? If your answer is “no”, here are some tips on how to be a better time manager:

1. Create a daily plan. Plan your day before it starts. The plan gives you a good description of how the day will go on. That way, you will be ready to deal with most of the things you meet. 1.

2. Focus. Are you multi-tasking so much that you’re just not getting anything done? 2. Only focus on what you’re doing. You’ll be more efficient that way.

3. Stay away from your time wasters. What takes your time away from your work? QQ? Email checking? 3. One thing you can do is make it hard to check them — remove them from your browser quick links.

4. 4. Don’t take on more than you can deal with. For the distractions that come in when you’re doing other things, give a firm no. Or do it later.

5. Decide to be early. When you prepare to be on time, you’ll either be on time or late. 5. However, if you decide to be early, you’ll most likely to be on time. For appointments, try to be early. For your deadlines, meet them earlier than required.

We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why we can’t be more like them. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. Here are some small things that extraordinary people do every day:

1. That you’re the boss doesn’t mean you are right every time. Learn to back up your decisions with reason. Use logic(逻辑) to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.

●They are generous with compliments(恭维). Remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return? Not even a thank- you.__ 2._So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employees feel great about themselves. 3.

●They are helpful. Never hesitate to help someone. It’s fairly simple but it goes a long way. Don’t say something vague(含糊)like, “Can I help you?” because they might just say, “No, I’m good.” 4. “I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.” Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial .

●They’re in charge of their emotions. Sometimes it is very important to stay silent. Especially when you’re angry, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time to think about what happened, and then come to a decision about how to deal with it. 5. Never be too casual with words or actions.

A. They are sensitive to others.

B. The key is to be specific.

C. A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives.

D. When you feel awkward receiving a compliment, give the person a smile.

E. They are open to criticism.

F. It hurts when your efforts are not recognized.

G. Before you say anything, consider others’ feelings.
