Once again, science supports what your grandmother told you: A good night's sleep helps your body fight a cold.

Researchers used frequent telephone   4   to track the sleep   5   of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the course of a few weeks. Then they   6   the subjects to the virus, quarantined them for five days and kept   7   of who got sick.

The results held   12   even after researchers   13   for variables such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies to the   14   .

  15   your grandmother, the researchers aren't exactly sure   16   sleeping better makes you less likely to   17   a cold. But they   18    take a stab at the answer: 'Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines（促炎细胞因子）, histamines, and other symptom mediators that are released in response to infection.' In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you're   19   with the cold virus   20   to the symptoms that define a cold.

How to Be a Winner

Sir Steven Redgrave

Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes （糖尿病）. Believing my career （职业生涯）was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it----the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

Karen Pickering

Swimming World Champion

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. “Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

Kirsten Best

Poet ＆ Writer

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological （心理的） tool.”
