The Secrets of Good Health1 Exercise. Eat right. Don't smoke. These are some of the most common words of advice to people who wish to stay healthy. But a growing amount of scientific research shows that there is another, equally important, aspect to staying well, peace of mind.2 Think about how your heart races while you are waiting to be called into the doctor's office or how unhappy a bad headache can make you. There is a two-way connection between mind and body. When one is bothered, the other feels it. At the heart of the communications network are brain chemicals called neurotransmitters which communicate messages not only within the brain, but also within the body. One key receptor, the immune system, is a network of cells and organs that work to fight off viruses and bacteria. When you experience joy, fear, or relaxation, the immune system may increase or decrease production of disease-fighting cells, thus helping you to fight off the flu, or even cancer.3 By now, how the immune system is affected by stress has been well documented. In one study involving newlywed couples, for example, those who showed hostile behavior during a 30-minute discussion about marriage problems had lower immune functioning for the 24-hour period following the experiment than people who showed less negative behavior. It is not just stress that can do damage. One researcher thought that if thesame cold virus was put under two different noses, the person who is depressed or anxious or pessimistic would be more likely to develop the cold.4 What is it about stress and related emotions that can encourage poor health? These feelings can cause the production of substances that damage or weaken our immune cells. Negative emotions can also cause our bodies to produce fewer immuno-transmitters which ultimately help fight off disease.5 If stress, depression, anger and other negative feelings can make you more likely to get sick, can the reverse be true? Will you have a stronger immune response and greater health if you are happier, less stressed, and more optimistic? Experts believe that the answer is yes. There are studies showing that by employing certain mind-body techniques that help reduce stress and improve outlook, cancer patients can live longer. But cancer patients aren't the only ones who can benefit. Certain mind-body techniques can help all of us. Research has found that when patients with chronic pain used relaxation therapies and other behavioral techniques to manage discomfort, they reduced their visits to the doctor by 36 percent. Relaxation produces better health through deep, rhythmic breathing, muscle loosening, and a slower heart rate. When some of the tension is taken out of the body, the strain is taken off the entire system. Relaxationdecreases blood pressure, heart rate and respiration and increases one's sense of well-being. That is important because a body that is constantly tense will eventually give out.7 There are dozens of mind-body techniques for you to choose from. The key is to find one you're comfortable with and then do it regularly. Simply writing about negative, unpleasant events may actually boost your immunity according to researchers. Scientists are not completely sure why it works, but they know that when individuals write, it helps them organize events, which in turn gives them more understanding of the situation. When you can give a stressful experience meaning through writing, you don't think about it or worry about it as much. And when you reduce stress, you boost immune functioning. How much you write or how long you write depends upon how much stress you feel about the event. One doctor suggests that people write until they are tired of writing and then read over what they have written. This helps make more sense of it. Also, just talking about a stressful experience with a friend can have the same positive effect.8 Study after study has shown that people with good support systems caring, helpful family, friends and co-workers have better health. Researchers think that the understanding we get from them reduces stress, which in turn helps the immune system. As one psychologist states,"When you have someone who loves you and cares about you to share your problems and feelings with, you don't feel you have to fight your problems, or the world, alone." Another interesting study has shown that the more diverse your social network, the better, that people who have a number of different social relationships have a lower risk of getting colds than those with fewer.9 There are other fast but effective mind-body relaxation techniques. One could be called "belly breathing." Sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room. Close your eyes. Breathe through your nose, fill your lungs with air, then slowly release the breath through your mouth. Another technique could be called "mindfulness." Take a slow walk and be aware of exactly what is happening to you at each moment whether the wind is on your face, an insect is flying near you, or you hear birds singing. Even if you continue thinking about problems, you will become calmer and distance yourself from your problems. If you are at home, you might dance. Put on some fast music, close the door, and let yourself go. The dancing will energize you and that alone will make you feel better.10 Whichever mind-body techniques work best for you, never rely on them and them alone to keep you mentally and physically well. Like exercise, good nutrition and proper medical care, methods such asrelaxation therapies are only one part of the recipe for good health. Still, they are an important ingredient.。

大学思辨英语教材精读1unit7Unit 7: The Power of Social MediaIntroduction:Social media platforms have become an integral part of our lives, connecting people from all corners of the world. This unit delves into the power and impact of social media, exploring its benefits and drawbacks. Through this unit, we will develop a deeper understanding of the influence social media holds in our society today.The Evolution of Social Media:Social media has evolved significantly over the years, transforming the way we interact and share information. From the early days of Friendster and MySpace to the dominance of Facebook and Twitter, social media has undeniably shaped our digital landscape. With the advent of smartphones, social media platforms are now accessible to billions worldwide, paving the way for their immense popularity.The Power of Social Media:1. Global Connectivity:One of the primary advantages of social media is its ability to connect people globally. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter enable individuals to share their thoughts, experiences, and cultural aspects, breaking down geographical barriers. This interconnectedness fosters cultural exchange and promotes understanding among diverse communities.2. Amplification of Voices:In the era of social media, everyone has the opportunity to have their voices heard. Previously, traditional media held the sole power to disseminate information. However, social media allows ordinary individuals to share their opinions and raise awareness about various issues. It has given a voice to marginalized communities, shining a light on social injustices.3. Marketing and Branding:Social media has revolutionized the way businesses advertise and build their brands. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube serve as powerful marketing tools, enabling companies to reach a broader audience and engage directly with potential customers. Influencer marketing has emerged as a popular trend, as brands collaborate with social media personalities to endorse their products or services.4. Real-Time Information:Social media networks provide instant access to breaking news and real-time updates. During times of crisis or emergencies, platforms like Twitter serve as essential sources of information. Social media has also played a pivotal role in organizing social movements and protests, allowing individuals to mobilize and unite for a common cause.Drawbacks of Social Media:1. Privacy Concerns:With the influx of personal information shared on social media platforms, there are heightened concerns regarding privacy. Despite stringent privacy settings, instances of data breaches and unauthorized access persist, raising questions about the security of our personal information.2. Cyberbullying and Harassment:The anonymity provided by social media has allowed for the rise of cyberbullying and online harassment. Individuals can hide behind screens and target others, causing significant emotional distress. Social media platforms are continuously battling this issue by implementing measures to prevent and address cyberbullying incidents.3. Spread of Misinformation:The rapid dissemination of information on social media can lead to the spread of misinformation and fake news. With the absence of fact-checking and editorial control, false narratives and conspiracy theories can easily circulate, fueling confusion and mistrust.4. Addiction and Mental Health Issues:Excessive use of social media has been linked to addiction and various mental health problems, including anxiety and depression. The constant need for social validation, comparison, and the fear of missing out (FOMO) can negatively impact one's well-being.Conclusion:Social media has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, reshaping how we connect, communicate, and consume information. While it offers numerous advantages such as global connectivity and amplification of voices, we must also acknowledge its drawbacks, including privacy concerns and the spread of misinformation. As users of social media, it is crucial to exercise caution and critical thinking to fully harness its potential while mitigating its negative impact.。

Unit 7Text A翻译（黑体字是课后填空题）What Animals Really Think动物到底想些什么Eugene Linden尤金·林登1 Over the years, I have written extensively about animal-intelligence experiments andthecontroversythatsurroundsthem.Doanimalsreallyhavethoughts,whatwecallconscio usness?Wonderingwhethere might be better ways toexploreanimal intelligence thanexperiments designed to teach human signs,I realized what now seems obvious:if animals can think, they will probably do their best thinking when itserves their own purposes, not when scientists ask them to.多年来，我写了大量关于动物智能实验、以及围绕这些实验所产生的争议的文章。

动物真的有思想，即我们所说的意识吗？在考虑是否会有比设计教动物人类手势语的实验更好的方式探索动物智能时，我悟出了现在看来是显而易见的一点：如果动物能思维，它们会在能为自己所用的时候，而不是在科学家让它们思维的时候作出最佳思维。

2 And so I started talking to vets, animal researchers, zoo keepers. Most do not study animal intelligence,but theyencounterit, and thelack of it, every day. The stories they tell us reveal what I'mconvincedis anew window on animal intelligence:于是我开始与兽医、动物研究人员以及动物园饲养员交谈。
