　　 Who talks more，then，women or men? The seemingly contradictory(相矛盾的) proof is shown by the difference between what I call public and private speaking．More men feel comfortable doing “public speaking”，While more women feel comfortable doing “private speaking．”Another way of capturing these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport-talk．

　　 For most women，the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport(友好)：a way of setting up connections and relationships．Emphasis is placed on showing similarities and matching experiences．From childhood，girls blame their fellows who try to stand out or appear better than others．People feel their closest connections at home，or in surroundings where they feel at home-with one or a few people they feel close to and comfortable with-in other words，during private speaking．But even the most public situations can be dealt with like private speaking．

　　 For most men, talk is primarily a means to keep up independence and position in a hierarchical(等级的) social order．This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill，and by holding center stage through language performance such as story-telling，joking，or giving information．From childhood，men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention．So they are more comfortable speaking in 1arger groups made up of people they know less well in the broadest sense，“public speaking”．But even the most private situations can be dealt with like public speaking，more like giving a report than setting up rapport.

　　 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness，but Dr．Kleitman has a new explanation．He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle．

　　 During the hours when you labour through your work，you may say that you’re “hot”．That’s true．The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak．For some people that peak comes during the forenoon．For others it comes in the afternoon or evening．No one has discovered why this is so，but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as “Get up，John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening．Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has．

　　 You can’t change your energy cycle，but you can Make your life fit it better．Habit can help．Dr．Kleitman believes．Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway．Counteract(打乱)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to．If your energy is low in the morning

But you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour．This won’t change your。cycle，but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point．

　　 Get off to a s1ow start which saves your energy．Get up with a yawn(呵欠)and stretch．Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor．Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before．Whenever possible，d　 routine(常规的)work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring, more energy for your sharper hours．

　 A person, like a commodity(商品), needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment(装饰), so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.

A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self –satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dying. The snow-capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony (和谐)with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder’s company is like reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality) edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with .

As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.

American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system against infection. Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, did the study. The team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. This chemical is an amino acid(氨基酸)called L-theanine. The scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta T cells. That’s the letter T, not the drink. Gamma delta T cells are part of the body’s defenses.

First, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens(抗原)found in the amino acid. Antigens help the body react to infection. Then the scientists added some bacteria(细菌). Within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance that fights infection. Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.

In the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee. That is dried coffee mixed with hot water.

Two weeks later, and again two weeks after that, the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people. They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells. They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea. The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.

Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study. He says the antigens added to the gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria. He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.

Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. If the findings prove to be true, he says, then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections. He says the amino acid L-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the body’s defenses.
