Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.
Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.
"It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness," said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.
In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.
In this study, Cohen's interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.
小題1:Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?
A．People talked about their feelings every day.
B．People were kept alone for six days.
C．People were given colds by doctors.
D．People were made to feel unhappy.
小題2:What did the study find?
A．People who felt happy never got ill.
B．People's feelings didn't influence their health.
C．People with good feelings became ill more easily.
D．People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses..
小題3:According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?
A．Eating.B．Crying.C．Laughing.D．Sleeping.
小題4:This passage is a/an         .
A．a(chǎn)dvertisementB．newspaper reportC．storyD．scientist's diary
小題5:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Smiles can fight coldsB．Cause of colds found

Answer the questions（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題)
Your Nose is Busy and Important
Your nose has many important jobs, and is always busy.
Smelling
Smelling helps you gather information about the world around you. A good scent (氣體),like flowers, brings you pleasure. A bad scent, like smoke or sour milk, warns you of danger. Most things around you release scent particles (微粒) into the air. These invisible chemicals enter the nose when you breathe. Nerves in the nose send information to the brain to identify a smell. You are able to recognize thousands of smells.
Breathing
Most of the air you breathe enters through your nose. The nose uses hair and mucus (粘液) to clean dust and germs (細(xì)菌) out of the air. The air that enters your nose contains oxygen. Your body uses oxygen to unlock the energy in the food you eat.  Even when you sleep, your body needs energy to keep your heart beating and your brain working.
Tasting
Your nose helps you enjoy food. Flavor is a mixture of taste and smell. The smell of the food helps you identify what you are eating. The sense of smell contributes more to (貢獻(xiàn)) food flavor than the sense of taste .When you are sick and have a stuffy nose, your food doesn’t taste as good because without smell, food loses most of its flavor.
Smell memory
Smells can bring back memories. Your brain uses a process to create a picture in your mind from the odors(氣味)you smell. Smells can affect your feelings because the part of the brain that helps you identify smells is close to the area that affects your emotions, mood and memory. More smell memories are collected as you get older.
Your nose has many important jobs, and is more than just a smeller!
小題1:How many important jobs does a nose do according to the passage? What are they?
小題2:Smelling helps you recognize thousands of smells, doesn’t it?
小題3:What does the nose use to clean dust and germs out of air?
小題4:What happens to your food if you are sick and have a stuffy nose?
小題5:How do smells bring back memories?
小題6:What do you think of your nose? Why do you think so?
