Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.

Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers 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 feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.

In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a cold room for six days.

The results 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 illnesses were less serious and lasted for a shorter time.

Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illnesses and diseases. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.

Humans have four basic blood types: A, B , AB and O. Before doing blood transfusions(输血), we have to check a person’s blood type and find out which kind it is. That is the most important step before a blood transfusion. But do you know that just like humans, animals also have blood types?

Dogs have eight basic blood types, though as many an twelve may exist. And a dog can receive any other dog’s blood for a transfusion if it is the first time. After the first time, it becomes important to check the blood type to prevent any risks.

Cats have three basic blood types, named A , B and AB. Of these three types, the A blood type is the most common. Almost 94 percent of the cats in theU.S.A have that blood type. And AB is a rare blood type.

Horse blood types are divided into eight major blood systems, namely A, C, D, K, P, Q, U and T. Cattle have eleven blood types and sheep have seven.

And surprisingly, plants seem to have blood types as well. A Japanese policeman accidently discovered this when he found an extra blood type at a crime scene. Certain proteins in plants are similar to those in human blood. Therefore, plants can also be divided into different groups according to their sap（汁液）. But scientists’ understanding of the blood types in plants is still at an early stage.

When talking about old capitals, which city comes to your mind?Beijing, Xi’an or Luoyang? Now ,you may add Chengdu, capital city of Sichuan province, to that list.

Chengdu joined nine other old capitals in China on Oct 25, 2016. The list did not come from the government. The capitals are decided by experts at the Association(协会) of Chinese Ancient Capitai Studies. The decisions are usually then widely accepted by the public, reported The Paper website. Before Chengdu, the other nine cities were Beijing, Xi’an, Luoyang,Nanjing, Hngzhou,Kaifeng, Anyang,Zhengzhou and Datong.

Chengdu started to be a capital over 2,000 years ago. It had been the capital of five major regimes(政权),including the famous Shu (AD221-263) during the Three Kingdoms (AD220-280)period.

Chengdu has also done a good job keeping its history. The city has never changed its name in the past 2000 years. It never moved either. “This is not only rare in China, but also across the world,” said Xiao Zhenghong ,the president of the association.
