10、ive longer?” many people wonder. Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equal relationship. The effect was first noted in 1

11、858 by William Farr, who wrote in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.

12、of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even though the odds are stacked against you (the conditions are not favourable to you), marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four y

Theres a less pleasantside, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their

14、 spouses; death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar e

15、ffects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socioeconomic factor, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms (机制).

21、Happy Meal is a form of kids meal sold at a certain fast-food chain since 1979. A toy is included in the meal, both of which are usually contained in a box or paper bag. However, collectors of these little toys will not get them any longer, since the company will replace toys with books and each of

22、these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for their collectable toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year. These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing k

23、ids to these meals with toys is clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of “catching its customers young”a move that has paid off very well for the fast-food company.Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and co

24、ntinue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes.

26、n the toys in Happy Meals. However, it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.While some people believe that the fast-food company, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its acti

The class was taught

31、by Ryan, a professional comedian.I had performed a show, which wasnt originally meant to be a comedy. However, the audience laughed at my first joke, then continued to laugh throughout the routines that were meant to be serious. So it was the audience who told me I was funny, but I didn t understand

32、 why or how to control the comic (滑稽的) moments. So, I joined the course to learn.“Turn off your editor that makes you say the right thing and remember how to be a child,” explained Ryan. “Dont try to be clever. Dont try too hard to be funnyand knowing all about the theory of humor is unlikely to hel

33、p you much. Just behave in a silly way. Thats what people want to see on stage.”Ryan would help us loosen up by saying things like, “Wander around talking to others, but make sure that youre the lowest status person here.”I d say that understanding the psychology of humor has actually helped. Recent

34、ly I came across the book Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind. Its main idea is that any self-directed intelligent system will need to correct its own fault. Theres a risk that the occasional error will be made. If this was boring or burdensome, wed be less willing to do it. Howev

One says to the other, “Do you know how to drive this thing?” It works on the principle that we have started to imagine one thingthat the tank is the typical container people keep fish inand, just in time, the f

36、ollowing words tell us that our first assumption was wrongits a heavy vehicle. For correctly figuring out the error, we are rewarded with a pleasurable feeling. The joke is an efficient way of encouraging this natural reaction, and comedians have become experts in slightly touching this mental funny

37、-bone in order to make us laugh.Ryan was right when he said that knowing the theory of humor wouldnt help us that much as a comedy.During one exercise in the course, four of us were told to perform an opera. Susan and Caroline sang earnestly on either side of the stage, and I brought Henry to the fl

38、oor, where we wrestled (摔跤) each other like out-of-control teenagers. The rest of the group was in uncontrollable fits of laughter. As a performer, I ll never appreciate just why it seemed so funny. But the point is that I would never have written this on the paper. It was a joyous, found moment.1、W

They giggle at Ann, who is a foreign character to them. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built the

43、ir ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box.We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived acr

44、oss the street.I baked cookies and left them outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift. The letter was from Tom and explained back when hed been fighting a war, neighbors had taken the time to handle the garbage cans for his young wife, Gee, and h

45、e never forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.A few years after wed moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee. We told her how special Tom had been to us. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.These days,

46、were piling up boxes of our own. Were planning a move. We know its time to go, and yet we cant seem to stick the For Sale sign up on the lawn. Its not just Gee.

You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet

51、, the Facebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view. But new research suggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant prof

52、essor of University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeders study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch, listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the quality of the argu

53、ment. Schroeders team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的)of their claims than when they read that communicators same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech that was print

54、ed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard the exact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward the politician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, the
