       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 cold, according to a new study. It's possible that being
happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.
       "It seems that positive(積極的) 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 positive feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.
       In this study, Cohen's study 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 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 experienced 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.
1. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study'?
A. People talked about their feelings every day.
B. People were kept alone. for six days.
C. People were given colds by doctors.
D. People were made to feel unhappy.

A. People who felt happy never got ill.
B. People's feelings didn't influence their health.
C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.
D. People with positive feelings had less serious ill-nesses.

D. Sleeping.
4. This passage is a/an ________.
