Humans can recognize one person from another because they have（102）different faces．It's hard to believe，but wasps（黄蜂） also have this ability．
Scientists used to（103）believe that insects'brains were too small for them to recognize individuals（个体）．But according to a recent study，golden paper wasps（纸巢黄蜂） can recognize the（104）faces of other wasps the same way humans do．They can recognize each other even after separating for one week．
Scientists from the University of Michigan trained some wasps．They（105）showed two pictures of different wasp faces and the insects chose the correct one．But when scientists changed the wasps'faces by doing things such as taking away an antenna（触角），the wasps could（106）no longer recognize them．

18．Not long ago，I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer，a friend of mine．"I've realized I want to be around people who make me happy，"she wrote，"I've been seeing how I feel after communicating with different people and making a mental list of who I feel good about．And you're on my list．"
Then she invited me-and 11other women-to a"Movie Night"to be held every six weeks at her house．We'd chat，eat，and watch feel-good movies．She made it clear in her invitation that there was no stress to show up to all or any movie nights．Wonderful!I e-mailed her back immediately．I was in．
Later，Jennifer told me she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation．Though all the women were willing to join，some said they didn't see themselves as cheerful people．"I've told them they didn't have to be cheerful around me all the time．I invited them because they made me feel happy，"she says．
Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer's make sense．In a US study，researchers measured（测量） the happiness of 4739people at regular intervals （间隔） over 20years．The study found that a person's happiness depends on（取决于） the happiness of people they connect with．Amazingly，it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends，but also among friends of your friends'friends!And those good feelings seem to be the most contagious （传染性的） among friends of the same sex．
"People with more supportive friends are less likely to develop sadness，"says Dr Toupey Luft，a psychologist in Penticyon，British Columbia．"Though you can't choose your family or workmates，you do have control over friendships．"With a little effort，you can add more positive（乐观的） relationships to your social circle．Here's how…
