　　Perhaps you do not know it, but there is something wonderful at your fingertips．You can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands．

　　Doctors say that body contact(接触)is a kind of medicine that can work wonders．When people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin(血红蛋白)－a type of matter that produces the red color in blood increases greatly．This results in more oxygen(氧气)reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits．In experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life．They became sad and negative．Studies showed the baby monkeys were more probable to become ill than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers．

　　Human babies react(反应)in much the same way．Some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery(托儿所)became weak．Yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean．The reason, he concluded, was that they often had touches from nurses．

　　Experiments show that most people like being touched．And nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients' fear of treatment．Of course there is time when a touch is not welcome．But even if we don't like being touched, a smile can make us feel better．Smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of “happy brain” chemicals．

　　So let's have a big smile and don't forget to keep in touch．

　　 In the United States, it is not usual to telephone .someone very early in the morning. If you　 telephone him early ill the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows　 that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. S,,o il is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 l)m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

　　 In racial life, time plays a very important part. Ill the USA guests tend to feel they are not　 highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered　 foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more　 than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different parts of　 the world. Thus, misunderstandings begin to exist between people from different cultures that　 treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are　 not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few　 words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
