"We need to take more seriously the possibility that a 38 emotional style is a fighter player in disease risk," says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study's lead researcher.
In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who 39 to be cheerful and lively were 40 likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms (症状).
Those findings were interesting, but they didn't prove that a person's 41 affects whether he or she gets sick. 42 it was still possible that a person's underlying personality is 43 matters.
44 suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing(外向的)and 45 , with high self-respect and a sense of 46 over life.This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our 47 of catching colds.
To figure out which mattered more (personality or 48 ), the CMU team 49 193 healthy adults.The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks.They told the researchers about the positive and negative 50 they had experienced that day.
The results showed that everyone in the study was 51 likely to get infected.Their symptoms(征兆), however, 52 depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the 53 2 weeks.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was 36 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary. 37 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one. 38 , to be honest, I found it extremely 39 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 40
not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 41 bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 42 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 43 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I 44 that monolingual dictionaries are 45in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is, 46 , often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two 47in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to 48 that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 49 meaning of a word in English! 50 , she insisted that I read the definition(定义)of a word in a monolingual dictionary 51 I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 52 , I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses only a(n) 53 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 54 exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can express myself more easily in English.
