In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny character were less likely to fall ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help to protect us from suffering the common cold and other illnesses. Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective (as in happiness improving immune function) and subjective (as in happy people being less troubled by a sore throat or runny nose). “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,” explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may interpret their illness as being less severe.” Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional style itself had the effect. For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality characteristics, self-felt health and emotional style. Those who had a tendency to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and aggressive had a negative style. The researchers gave them nasal (鼻腔的) drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reported on any aches, pains or sneezing they had, while the researchers collected objective data. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal troubles, happy people were less likely to develop a cold. 61. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Stay Away from Being Negative.B. Positive or Negative？Its Up to You.C. Emotional Style and Flu.D. Optimistic People Likely to Keep Diseases Away. 62. According to Dr Cohen, some people are unlikely to catch a cold because _.A. their cheerful mood may benefit the immune systemB. they may have developed a certain way against flu virusC. they are less likely to have a sore throat and runny noseD. they may have got a stronger self-confidence in their health63. The research is done by _.A. getting volunteers in one emotional group and analyzing themB. conducting a medical experiment on volunteers of different emotional stylesC. collecting and analyzing volunteers objective nasal production dataD. having volunteers answer questions on personality, health and emotions64. The passage is probably written for _.A. medical students B. flu-affected people C. the public D. the volunteersBPutting Movies on MobilesMovies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm the first mobile film festival.The first MoFilm competition, received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were limited to films that were five minutes or less in lengthideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phonesAn independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phonesNew PlatformsThe awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industryMany grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works. It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances. In the near future, longer films are likely to be seen on the mob
