8、 area and Lime house began to be known as Chinatown. At the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain. However, this situation changed greatly after the Second World War. At this time, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, and decided to move to London. In the 195

9、0s, a small Chinese restaurant opened in central London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful. Suddenly, Chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants ( 移民 ) now found that they had too much. M

10、ost of the new immigrants enjoyed their life and the chances they were offered. Many asked their friends and relatives to join them from their hometowns, and a lot of families were reunited again at this time.

15、 have a scent? When someone is happy, can you smell it? You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and

16、 that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org. For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers,

17、and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period. Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research

18、 has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signalingthough its unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents. Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scentsparticularly their facial expressionsindicated a

19、relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them. 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 3 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 4 “Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happ

20、iness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey. This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found tha

21、t other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings. Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happ

22、iness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety. Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however,

23、 is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us. 9What is the main finding of the new research? A. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out. B. Negative emotions h

24、ave a smell. C. Men produce more sweats. D. Women have a better sense of smell. 10The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.
