课时分层作业(二十)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
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 illness，said the researchers from New York
University.
“It seems that positive(积极的)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 told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day.After the two weeks，the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The result showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地)likely to get ill.But for people who said they felt happy during the research period，their illness was 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.

Carolyn Keating was excited to land a job interview.She knew that being on time was essential to making a good impression，but there was just one problem.“I had written down the address wrong.I meant to check it the night before，but I didn't.”When Keating finally arrived at the correct address，she was 30 minutes la te.“I felt embarrassed，”she said.“I carried that insecure，worried energy throughout the interview.”She didn't get the job.
For some people，being on time seems nearly impossible.They're always running out of the door in_a_frenzy，arriving everywhere at least 10 minutes late.If this sounds like you，have you ever wished you could break the pattern？According to Julie Morgenstern，author of Time Management From the Inside Out，the first step is to realize the importance of promptness(准时)．Once you feel motivated to make a change，Morgenstern says the next step is to figure out why you're always late.
“If you're always late by a different amount of time－five minutes sometimes,15，or even 40 minutes other times－it is likely that the cause is technical.That means you are not good at estimating(估算)how long things take.”Morgenstern said.“And this is one of the common reasons for being late.”
The solution，Morgenstern says，is to“become a better time estimator”．She suggests keeping track of everything you do for a week or two.“Write down how long you think each thing will take and then how long it actually took”. This will help you find a pattern，so you can adjust(调整)your time estimates.
Keating says this method is helpful.“You have to be realistic about how long certain things take，especially things you do daily.If you know it takes 20 minutes to blow­dry your hair，allow yourself 20 minutes to do it，”she said，“and leave a little extra time for those days when your hair is uncooperative.”
