According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Bchavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive (无法摆脱的) and anxious urge to share it with someone”.

An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.

But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone.” according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.

Dealing with Difficult Relationships

Everyone has at least one awkward or 【1】 relationship. It may be with somebody who will 【2】 your energy whenever you are with them. Or worse, it could be someone who always cuts you down. This person may be a family member or even a friend. No matter who it is, it’s necessary that you learn to set boundaries for yourself. Otherwise this kind of relationship can chip away at your self-esteem.

Setting boundaries for difficult relationships starts by 【3】 how you are affected by the relationship. Do they bring you closer to your goals or pull you farther away? For example, it’s time to study for tomorrow’s test. But your friend wants to take you to a party. Here, setting boundaries will help protect your 【4】 goals.

Next, decide how much time you should spend with these people. It’s easy to overcommit yourself. But it’s difficult to help others if you forget to protect your own 【5】.

How do you know if a relationship is unhealthy, and it’s time to set boundaries? Here are a few practical questions to ask yourself.

1. How does this relationship affect me?

Every 【6】 can affect you positively or negatively. For example, someone who pressures you to something you’re not comfortable doing will 【7】 you out. But a friend who considers how you feel will respect your 【8】 to try something new.

2. Why am I in this relationship in the first place?

People may try to keep you in an unhealthy relationship. By 【9】 you it’s your obligation or duty, you forget about your own needs. Sadly, by remaining 【10】 to these people, you forget who you are. You allow them to take advantage of you or even belittle you.

Settling boundaries requires taking a long, honest look at yourself. By saying “no” to harmful patterns in relationships, you say “yes” to a healthier you.

A newly discovered tea plant is caffeine-free

The world loves tea and some 3m tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for health, as it contains compounds that help to lower cholesterol(胆固醇)and reduce the risk of heart disease. But there is a downside. Tea contains caffeine which, 【1】 it improves mental alertness, can also cause anxiety, insomnia and other problems.

【2】 would be agreeable is that a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or 【3】 of the caffeine has been found. Liang Chen and Ji-Qiang Jin of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have discovered just such a plant 【4】(grow) wild in a remote area in Fujian province, southern China. 【5】 they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.

【6】(know) locally as Hongyacha, the newly discovered plant grows only between 700 and 1,000 metres 【7】 sea level around a handful of Chinese villages.

Now the researchers 【8】(explore) methods to protect Hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time – and sometimes it does not work – for new plant varieties 【9】(breed) for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress 【10】(report) Tea enthusiasts will be watching Hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
