8、 or death of a family member, seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illnesses? One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links
9、 between describing psychologically painful events and long-term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner
10、thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics. In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and up
11、setting experiences. When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples (样本) taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased th
12、eir reaction and sensitivity to these invaders. This trend continued over the following six weeks.The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not al

18、for some stumbles Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him. A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起)how at the beginning of the year, when called up
19、on to read, Chirs would excuse himself to go to the bathroom. Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. It takes a lot for any student, Whaley explains, especially for a student who is learning English as their new
