One day at the end of the class, a wise teacher told each of her students to bring a plastic(塑料) bag and a bag of potatoes to school.
The next day she told her students: “From today on, for every person you don’t like in your lives, you can choose a potato, write the person’s name and the date on it and then put it in the plastic bag.” Day after day, following the teacher’s advice, some of the students’ bags were heavier and heavier. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere they went for a week. They would put it inside their quilts(被褥)at night, on the seats when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desks at school. The days carrying the bag around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to it all the time so that they wouldn’t forget it. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt terrible. They all tried to get rid of them.
Too often we think of tolerance(宽容)as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred(仇恨)in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives.

Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.
Compared to(和…相比) unhappy people, those who are happy and relaxed are less likely to suffer from(患...病) cold, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illness, say the reports from New York University.
“It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the chief researcher of the study, Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found happy and active people 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.
