It's important to have positive feelings in our daily life. Compared with some unhappy people, those who are always pleased and relaxed are less likely to get colds, according to a new study. The researchers from New York University said, " Being happy helps the bodies prevent diseases(疾病).
"It seems that positive feelings may reduce the possibility of illness," said the researcher Sheldon Cohen.
In an earlier study, Cohen's team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. In this period, the people told researchers about their happy or sad feelings that day. Two weeks later, all of them were made to catch colds by doctors, and each of them had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The results showed that each in the study was equal to fall ill. But people who were lively and relaxed said they felt happy during the research. Their illnesses were less serious and lasted for shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people have positive feelings, their body may produce a kind of chemical that helps to fight illnesses. So if you care about your health, please look on the bright side and make yourself happy all the time.

Classic books never go out of fashion. The book The Outsiders first came out in 1967. Although the book is old, it is still worth reading. It is written by US writer S.E.Hinton.
The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with difficult issues of right and wrong in a society where he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.
In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers. It is mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boys' life.
I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them has a problem, the others will help. Although they are not well educated(教育), they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dream of having a strong friendship like this.
This book shows the good personalities(品质) in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.
