He practiced a lot, but he could never hit his target( 目标 ). He felt bored and went back for dinner. As he was walking back, he saw Grandma’s pet duck. He used his slingshot one more time. He hit the duck in the head and killed it. He was very sad and afraid. He hid the dead duck in the woods. Then he saw his sister watching him. Sally saw it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day Grandma said, “Sally, let’s wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me that he wanted to help in the kitchen today, didn’t you, Johnny?” and then she said to him in a low voice, “Remember, the duck!” So Johnny washed the dishes. After several days of doing both his housework and Sally’s, Johnny couldn’t stand it any longer. He told Grandma that he killed the duck. She smiled, “I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw what you did. But I just wanted to know how long you would be your sister’s slave( 奴隶 ).” My friends, have you ever made such mistakes? As the saying goes, “Who can make no mistakes?” Next time when you do something wrong, you’d better say sorry to others.

Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful 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 researches from New York University. “ It seems that positive 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.
