12、nd asked if I could help her find something.The woman smiled at me and showed me a title on a piece of paper.Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman,I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back,I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.He

13、r movements reminded me of my own mother,who had passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked,the woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie and she told me it was the one shed enjoyed when she was her sons age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much

14、 as she had.Maybe,she said he could enjoy it with his own young children.I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier.As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag,I went over to the younger woman,who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.“Is that your mom?”I asked.I had expected her

15、 to tell me it was none of my business.But she rolled her eyes and said,“Yeah.”There was annoyance in her reply.Still watching the mother,I said,“Mind some advice?”“Go ahead,”said the daughter.I smiled to show her I wasnt criticizing.“Cherish her,”I said,“When shes gone,its the little moments thatll

21、shook,and the power went out.We had three flights of steps to get through to get to the relative safety of the first floor.As we struggled to reach the last flight of steps,our front door blew out.Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.Suddenly,a three-foot-long tree branch fle

22、w over our heads,missing us by inches.Had we been one step up,it would have impaled us.By the time I reached the closet,Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor,but he couldnt get inside himself because of the wind.I grasped Jimmys arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it.My knees and head were full of

23、glass,but in that moment,I felt no pain.If I had let go,Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.“Hold on!Hold on!”he yelled.But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.All of a sudden,Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies.I thought

24、 he was gone.And then everything stopped.He landed on his feet.In those first quiet moments,I couldnt believe it was over.Jimmy said hed go outside to check.“No,”I said.“Dont leave me.Dont leave me.”Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.In that time,four of the twelve town houses in our un

29、cabulary.All members of the human species understand it.Unlike English or French or Swahili,we dont have to learn to speak it.We re born with the capacity to laugh.Very little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter.Contrary to folk wisdom,most laughter is not about hum

30、or;it is about relationships.To find out when and why people laugh,I went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed.Over a 10-year period,we studied over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter.We found that most laughter does not necessarily fo

31、llow jokes.People may laugh after a variety of statements,such as,“Here comes Mary,”“How did you do on the test?”or“Do you have a rubber band?”These certainly arent jokes.We believe laughter evolved from the panting(喘气的)behavior of our ancient ancestors.Today,if we tickle(使发痒)chimps,they dont laugh.

32、But,instead,they produce a panting sound.Thats the sound of ape laughter,and its the root of human laughter.Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter,like games that involve chasing.Other animals produce sounds during play,but they are so different from laughter.Rats,for exam

33、ple,produce high sounds during play and when tickled,but these are very different in sound from human laughter.Laughter is often positive,but it can be negative too.Theres a difference between“laughing with”and“laughing at”.People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.No o

38、ow found in almost every vehicle,have saved countless lives and largely reduced the severity of injuries in crashes.Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips(髋部)resulting from a fall,something most seniors fear.Dr.Robert Buckman and his start-up company,Active Protective in Allentown,Penns

39、ylvania,has developed a promising solution,a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall.The idea was the result of Dr.Buckmans years as a doctor at Temple University.He noticed how many elderly people were being brought into hospitals with broken hip due to falls,and how they

40、often never completely recovered from the injuries.He started to ask what he could do for these people,and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were at the highest risk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.The device is worn much lik

41、e a regular belt,but on the outside of the clothing,and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips.If the device detects that the person,is falling,an airbag opens before the person hits the ground,cushioning the fall.When the wearer hits the ground,the bag reduces the force to the hip bo

47、ious kidney(肾)problems can be revealed by a glance at your fingernails.There are about 30 different nail signs that can be associated with medical issues,though may indicate more than one problem,according to Dr.Amy Derick,a clinical instructor of dermatology at Northwestern University.Here are five

48、 of the things a doctor can tell about your health based on your fingernails.1.People who arent eating well and lack vitamin or dietary may have thinner than normal nails,which are more likely to break.2.Horizontal lines are associated with serious physical stress.They frequently occur in people who

49、 have gone through chemotherapy(化疗).They can also occur after some illnesses,injuries,or with severe malnourishment(营养不良).Interestingly,there may be an altitude connection too.Theyve also been found in people who dove 1,000 feet and others who participated in an Everest exploration.3.Vertical lines,

50、however,are generally not such a big deal.Some people are more genetically prone to them than others,but theyre commonly associated with aging.4.When people lack iron,their nails can turn spoon-like.Instead of curving down and covering the finger normally,they ll start to rise up on the sides and fr
