Replacing （替换） some things in your house at the right time can make you healthier. Some researchers show us when and why the following things should be replaced.

Have you ever tried to hide your emotions （情感）from someone during a conversation?

Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people's emotions according to changes in the color of their faces.

Scientists studied pictures of people's facial expressions.  For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust（厌恶）creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red- green color around the nose and forehead.

"We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered（触发） by the central nervous（神经） system." Lead researcher Alex Martinez said.

 Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell other's emotions?

To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time without any difficulty.

 For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry, we'd say he or she is blue in the face.

A. But this raises a question.

B. It is shown that human emotions are influenced by colors on the face.

C. They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain color.

D. It's not always easy, because the color on your face may tell the truth.

E. Then, volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing.

F. This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect emotions to the color of one's face.

It's not usual that you can feel the warmth in an icy train station. After all, it's the place where people walk

( quick) from one end to the other for their trains with impatience. However, just there, a cold Friday morning, I saw something that moved me to tears.

While I  (walk) to  the hall of the station, I saw a young woman put something next to sleeping homeless man. She put it down silently and left in a hurry. I wondered  she had put some money there. Instead, it was a sandwich  (lie) on the man's bag. I suddenly realized that a sandwich was probably what the man needed most.

I couldn't help thinking of many times when I  (help) by others. I also thought about all the other little acts of  ( kind) that happened every day and went unnoticed. Even the smallest thing can make a big  (different). And what a gift it is when you get to see the  (move) moments!
