Many diseases and medical cnditins are caused by things ut f ur cntrl. Yet experts say yu can cntrl and even prevent many f the factrs that increase yur chances f dying. Experts nte that an unhealthy lifestyle can put yu at great risk f heart disease and strkes. S dctrs urge us t eat healthy fds, get exercise, stp smking and limit ur alchl intake. But there is smething else yu can d. And it is free and easy. Smile!
Anand Chckalingam is a heart disease specialist at University f Missuri Health Care in Clumbia Missuri. He advises his patients t smile. “When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are mre psitive.” He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emtinal stress and smetimes the stress has harmful effects n human health. This is nt just New Age advice. Several studies supprt Dr. Chckalingam’s prescriptin -smile mre.
Disrders f the heart and bld vessels(血管) are the number ne cause f death arund the wrld. The main causes f heart attacks and strkes are blckages in bld vessels. These prevent bld frm flwing t the heart r the brain. When yu feel stressed r under pressure, yur bdy releases many natural hrmnes(激素) that increase yur heart rate and bld pressure. Crtisl is the bdy’s main stress hrmne. It increases sugar in the bldstream. If yu are truly in danger, these hrmnes can help yu. They are part f what we call ur fight- r-flight respnse. Hwever, when yu are stressed fr a lng perid, these stress hrmnes may lead t health prblems.
Dr. Chckalingam says a smile may be ne way t help. He tells his patients t smile 20 times an hur. T sme, that might seem like a lt f smiling. Or sme might even feel flish... smiling fr seemingly n reasn. But a smile des nt invlve drugs. It is free and it has n bad side effects.
“Once peple smile, they are relaxed. This relaxatin directly lwers bld pressure, and imprves sugar levels in the bld. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.”

In the summer f 2021, wildfires caused a disaster n an Italian island, burning ver 69,000 acres f land and displacing thusands. The Mntiferru regin, badly affected by the fires, is testing ut a new warning system fr wildfires, develped by a German cmpany called Dryad.
Due t climate change, the number f extreme wildfire events is expected t increase up t 14% by 2030. Apart frm billins f dllars f damage they cause, the chemicals they prduce are strng pllutants and in 2023, wildfires gave ut a recrd 1.76 billin metric tns f carbn in the atmsphere-equal t mre than duble Germany’s yearly CO2 emissins (排放物).
Existing early warning systems are based n the visual detectin f smke, either thrugh satellite imaging, cameras n the grund r human bservers. “But these systems are t dilatry. In rder t generate smke that can be seen frm a distance f, say, 10 t 20 miles, the fire has t be very big-yu might already have half a ftball field n fire underneath. Then, if yu add the time fr firefighters t arrive at the scene, it may have becme t big t be put ut at all,” said Dryad’s c-funder, Carsten Brinkschulte.
Dryad aims t reduce the detectin time f wildfires and catch them early. T d s, the cmpany has designed a slar-pwered sensr fitted with a gas detectr. “It can detect hydrgen, carbn mnxide, etc. Think f it like an electrnic nse that yu attach t a tree,” says Brinkschulte. Once the sensr detects a fire, it sends ut a signal which is then sent t the Internet by satellite and 4G. Finally, what the frest managers get is an alarm with the exact GPS lcatin f the sensr that picked up the fire.
S far, Dryad has tested 300 sensrs acrss Eurpe and plans t make 230,000 units next year. “Our gal is t set up 120 millin f them by 2030, which wuld be able t save 3.9 millin hectares f frest frm burning and prevent 1.7 billin metric tns f CO2 frm reaching the atmsphere,” says Brinkschulte.
12. What d the facts mentined in paragraph 2 mainly shw?
A. The danger f wildfire pllutants.B. The envirnmental stress frm wildfires.
C. The climate change ver the years.D. The prblem f CO2 emissins in Eurpe.
13. What des the underlined wrd “dilatry” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Slw.B. Distant.C. PreciusD. Wasteful.
14. Hw des the new warning system perate?
A. By smelling the fire and reprting its lcatin.
B. By putting ut the fire directly in its early stages.
C. By frecasting the weather t prevent the fire.
D. By ging arund the frest t check the fire.
15. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Climate change will deepen wildfires.
B. The system has great pssibilities fr use.
C. Eurpe especially suffers frm wildfires.
D. The system needs further imprvement.
