When your friend has a bad day, what will you do to comfort him or her? Hugging can help them feel better, Time reported.
According to scientists from Carnegie Melon University in the US, hugs can be good for a person’s mood and stress levels. Hugging can increase positive(积极的)feelings and reduce negative(消极的)feelings.
Researchers talked to about 400 people. They asked them about their mood, whether they had any conflicts(冲突)with others and if they had a hug that day.
They found that when people experienced conflicts but didn’t get any hugs, they reported more negative feelings. But when people had both on the same day, they reported more positive feelings and fewer negative feelings.
When you receive a hug, your body releases a certain hormone(荷尔蒙). This hormone lowers blood pressure, as well as reduces stress and anxiety(焦虑), Michael Murphy from Carnegie Melon told Time.
Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. People sometimes give advice or just try to solve the other person’s problems directly. However, doing these things might make people feel like they’re being criticized(批评), But physical contact like hugging “makes people feel like they are cared about and have someone who is there for them,” Murphy said. “But that doesn’t make any judgments(about right or wrong).”

A group of boys gathered around a tree. “What a tall tree!” they said to each other. “It would be exciting to climb to the top!”
The group of boys then d1. to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree first. Their mothers were siting not far away, looking on at their children as they played.
One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the shortest c2. in the group. Nobody thought he would win the competition.
Then the game s3.. All of the boys tried their best to climb as high as they could. Although they all made it halfway up the tree before David did, he reached the top of the tree f4. in the end.
His mother was proud to see this. She asked him, “David, how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so q5.?”
“It was easy,” David said. “The other children kept looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they got scared and were a6. of falling down. I, however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and higher until I reached the top.”
It is true in life that if we just keep going forward without looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals for success.
