This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a childs popularity in the group by

23、 I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart. Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he'

24、;s an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items.

25、ation. I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.

27、e.” The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture-and in a place they never expected.

33、academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story. There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing.

34、ist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer（老年痴呆症）. “If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, throu

If you ever worried you were at risk for

36、 Alzheimers disease, then every time you cant find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.” Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimers. It was thought that people who

37、 got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it.

45、andsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras. Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get

46、people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets.
