The students often gather together in small, closed groups. If you are not part of a group, it can be difficult for you to be accepted. This is especially true if you can't speak to the members of the group in their language.
This was the situation Sam faced each day as he went to class. Sam and his family moved to France last month. Before he arrived, he knew there would be many difficulties. But they were even worse than he had imagined.
Every lunch hour, after arriving at his new school, Sam sat alone in the dining hall. He looked at all the different groups of students around him. But he had no way to let them know that he was a good person. He simply couldn't find the right words to reach them.
Sam knew he had to find a way to change the situation. Somehow, he had to adapt （适应） to this new environment. He did a little research on the internet and discovered that smiling is universal language; it is understood everywhere.
One morning, as Sam was walking by a group of students, he smiled at them. A boy in group smiled back at him. For Sam, this was a good beginning. Later, he noticed the boy coming towards him in the hall with a warm smile on his face. Sam returned the smile.
Soon the boy asked Sam to join him and his group of friends for lunch.

A world without time or number
The Piraha are an Amazonian tribe （部落） of hunter-gatherers who live deep in the Brazilian rainforest. The tribe has kept their culture undamaged for centuries, although there are now only around 200 left. The Piraha, who communicate mainly through hums and whistle, have interested ethnologists （人种学者） for years, mainly because they have almost no word for numbers. They use only three words to count: one, two, and many.
We know about the Piraha thanks to an cx-hippy, Dan Everett, now a professor of language, who spent seven years with the tribe in the 1970s and 1980s. Everett discovered a world without numbers, without time, without words for colors and without a past tense. Their language, he found, was not just simple grammatically; it only had several sounds and they were different between the men and women. For the men, it has just eight consonants (辅音）in the words and three vowels （元音）; for the women, who have the smallest number of speech sounds in the world, it has seven consonants and three vowels. To people from other places, the language sounds more like humming than speech. The Piraha can
also whistle their language, which is how men communicating when hunting.
The Piran can't write, have little common memory, and no idea of decorative art. In 1990 Everett tried to teach them to count; he explained basic numbers to a group who wanted to learn the skills needed to trade with other tribes. After eight months, no one could count to ten; even one plus one was beyond them. The experiment seemed to support Everett's theory; the tribe just couldn't understand the meaning of number.
The Piraha's inability to count is important because it doesn't seem to support Noam Chomsky's famous Theory of Universal Grammar, which holds that the human mind has a natural ability for language, and that all languages share a basic rule structure, which help children to understand ideas such as number. One of Chomsky's coworkers has recently gone on an expedition with Everett to study the tribe. We do not yet know if he will change his theory after visiting the Piraha.

For many years doctors have warned us about the dangers of stress （压力） and have given advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a serious illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in （陷入） a traffic jam, is bad for our health and should be avoided whenever possible. However, some experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.
Dr Marios Kyriazis says that what he calls 'good stress' is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer. Dr Kyriazs says that 'good stress' can strengthen our natural defenses which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheinmer's and heart problems. He believes that 'good stress' can increase the production of the proteins that help to repair the body's cells. （细胞）
According to Dr. Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to deadline are examples of 'good stress', this is situations with short-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly and effectively, and gives us a sense of achievement - we did it! However, in both these situations, the stress damages （损害） the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the the cells' own repair system repairs the damaged cells and removes harmful things that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body's response is greater than is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.
\ says Dr Kyriazis The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to 'exercise' it. This means have a certain amount of stress in our lives. Other stressful activities that Kyriazis recommends as being good stress include packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break.
