Last month, I rode bus to my office ten miles away. I carried only a few cash to last each week. One night, as I walk to the usual bus stop, I met a beggar whom had no legs. I stopped and opened my wallet, but I was discovered that I had no money at all. I apologized to him immediate. I became worried so I had no way to get home. At my surprise, the beggar pulled out many coin from his broken bowl. Embarrassed, I took enough for his bus fare, and he said, ¡°Good luck!¡±

We know that hugs make us feel cosy inside. And this feeling could actually ward off stress and protect the immune (ÃâÒß) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.

It¡¯s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that comes with interpersonal conflict.

¡°We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, ¡± the study¡¯s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. ¡°We have tested whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feelings of support and thus protect a person against infection.¡±

In the experiment, over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (¸ÐÖªµ½µÄ) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks. They were asked about the frequency that they engaged in interpersonal conflict and received hugs that day.

Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms.

¡°This suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,¡± Cohen said. ¡°The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.¡±

If you need any more reason to wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fears, improve heart health and decrease feelings of loneliness.

Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.

In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary(¼Ç¼Ƭ) film, named James Cameron's Deep?sea Challenger 3?D.

In James Cameron's fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.

¡°I felt like I had gone to another planet,¡± Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. ¡°I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.¡±Cameron captured(»ñÈ¡) the moon?like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.

James Cameron's Deep?sea Challenger 3?D tells the story of Cameron's journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean's greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron's world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.

It's an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.

Is going on holiday of any benefit? New research shows that going on holiday makes you not only feel good while you¡¯re there but also gain the health benefits for months.

Jetting off to destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their holiday entitlement (ȨÀû) each year, but as many as one in three don¡¯t.

The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with those in people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.

The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress, known as the stress-resilience test, improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress-resilience scores among workers. Tests showed fallen blood glucose (ÆÏÌÑÌÇ) levels, reduced risk of diabetes (ÌÇÄò²¡), trimmer waistlines and improved mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.

The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK¡¯s largest healthcare charity.

Food for Italians isn¡¯t a trend; it¡¯s a way of life. Italians live to eat, and the importance of food in family life is absolutely important and deep-rooted in everyday routines.

In Italy, kids are encouraged to be part of every social occasion that revolves around food ¡ª it¡¯s not about dividing the children from the adults, giving them separate meals or putting them to bed early. In Britain, by contrast, my sister and I often see children eating separate meals from their parents.

Letting children experience food like an Italian will develop not just their palate(ζ¾õ) but also their social skills, manners, teaching them new and mature ways to interact. Here are some food customs that are part of every Italian child¡¯s upbringing.

One of the most celebrated Italian food customs is the morning coffee. Coffee shops and bars have customers streaming in and out of them each morning as the Italians get their daily dose¨Cand this habit is just as much about the social setting as it is about the coffee.

While the morning is all about coffee, pre-lunch or dinner, it¡¯s all about the local snacks. Most often, Italian city centres and squares are jam packed with locals who come out with their kids to enjoy this pre-dinner treat, and children are encouraged to enjoy snacks available. This is a brilliant way to get kids to try new tastes without the pressures of meal times. It¡¯s important to note that ¡°kids¡¯ menus¡± do not exist in Italian restaurants¡ªchildren are treated like adults and are offered plates from the main menu ¡ª in smaller amounts, if they¡¯re young.

Post-lunch, most cities can seem quite deserted. But by 4 p.m. onwards, the crowds start to re-emerge. One by one, families spill out and the streets liven up. Everyone begins their afternoon stroll, enjoying the afternoon snacks, like ice-cream, which turns over a huge trade in Italy.

1.What will parents do at meal times in Italy?

A. Let children have their meals separately.

B. Offer children plates from kids¡¯ menu.

C. Order some food for children but in small amounts.

D. Encourage children to eat with them.

2.What won¡¯t children develop if they experience food like an Italian?

A. Cooking ways.B. Sense of taste.

C. Social skills.D. Interacting manners.

3.What do we know about the pre-dinner treat in Italy?

A. It is most often about coffee.

B. It can get children to experience new foods with ease.

C. It is unavailable in city centres and squares.

D. It can reduce the pressure of meal times.

4.What is the author¡¯s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To introduce different Italian local foods.

B. To stress the importance of food for Italians.

C. To show Italians¡¯ children education.

D. To advertise Italian food trends.

While engineers have made out fantastic products for sitting still¡ªMunchery instead of walking to lunch, Uber instead of walking to the bus stop¡ªservices to make you move have been less appealing for consumers.

Fitbit¡¯s stock price fell 18% after they announced their latest Apple Watch-like product named Fitbit Force. And new data suggests that, for the first time, death rates for large parts of the American population are rising, with signs pointing to inactivity and weight gain as the reasons. Our digital lifestyles and desk-based workplaces are contributing to serious health problems and could be shortening our lives, wellness firms want us to believe.

Northrup, president and co-founder of the connected exercise device TAO-Wellness, was in Las Vegas to promote TAO¡¯s small device that encourages exercises. He lifts the device, about the size of an apple, and says workplaces should start encouraging on-site exercise.

Nick Mokey, the managing editor of Digital Trends, agrees. ¡°I hate to break it to you, a room full of people sitting down, but sitting is killing you,¡± he says to the audience. They shift in their seats.

In the health section of the Sands Exposition Hall, people are selling devices made by LifeSpan Fitness. They say they¡¯re the largest seller of treadmill£¨Åܲ½»ú£© desks in the US. At the center of their exhibition area is a Bike Desk, which looks like three gym bikes attached to a table. That¡¯s for people who just want to sit and enjoy conversation.

Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle, they say when LifeSpan installs two in opposite ends of the same building, neither tends to get used. If the company installs two next to each other, people will use them. ¡°You don¡¯t want to be so noticeable, especially at work,¡± company spokesman James Lowe says. What¡¯s more, what if we get sweaty using a treadmill in the office?

Depressed? Do What You Love

About 350 million people around the world suffer from depression. Therapists can use many different techniques to help, but none has more accurate scientific evidence behind it than cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This ¡°inside-out¡± technique focuses mainly on thought patterns, training patients to recognize and reframe their thinking. __1.__

BA is an outside-in technique in which therapists focus on adjusting actions rather than thoughts. ¡°The idea is that what you do and how you feel are linked,¡± says David Richards, a health services researcher at the University of Exeter in England. If a patient values nature and family, for example, a therapist may encourage him to schedule a daily walk in the park with his family members. __2.__This could create an alternative to more negative pastimes such as thinking on loss. BA has existed for decades, yet until now it has never been tested with the scale and exactness needed to assess its relative strength as a stand-alone approach.

In one of the largest studies of its kind, Richards led a group of 18 researchers working at three mental health centers in the U.K. who put BA and CBT head-to-head. They assigned 440 people with depression to about 16 weeks of one of the two approaches, then followed the patients¡¯ progress at six, twelve and eighteen months after treatment began. __3.__ A year on, about two thirds of the patients in both groups reported at least a 50 percent reduction in their symptoms.

_4.__ For instance, patients with depression could begin with simpler therapies such as BA, and then seek out more specialized care if they do not respond to that treatment. ¡°We believe that BA is a good first step in treatment, and the report addresses that point,¡± says George Alexopoulos at Weill Cornell Medical College, a key member of the team.

In addition, Richards and his colleagues found that junior health workers could provide BA after a brief training period, which makes it significantly cheaper compared with CBT, for it requires highly specialized therapists. __5._

A. These findings could change treatment guidelines.

B. As shown in a report, the team found the treatments equally effective.

C. In doing so, it helps increase the rewards of engaging more with the outside world.

D. The disorder of depression is characterized by continuous sadness and also interference with day-to-day work.

E. Trained medical professionals should diagnose depression not only by a physical examination, but by asking the right questions.

F. This distinction could make the former a blessing to developing countries, where resources for mental health are especially in need.

G. Now, however, mental health professionals have another option: a technique called behavioral-activation (BA) therapy is just as effective.
