He simply couldnt find the right words to reach them.Sam knew he had to find a way to change the situation. Somehow, he had to adapt （适应） to this new environment. He did a little research on the internet and discovered that smiling is universal language; it is understood everywhere.One morning, as Sam was walking by a group of students, he smiled at them. A boy in group smiled back at him. For Sam, this was a good beginning. Later, he noticed the boy coming towards him in the hall with a warm smile on his face.

The tribe has kept their culture undamaged for centuries, although there are now only around 200 left. The Piraha, who communicate mainly through hums and whistle, have interested ethnologists （人种学者） for years, mainly because they have almost no word for numbers. They use only three words to count: one, two, and many.We know about the Piraha thanks to an cx-hippy, Dan Everett, now a professor of language, who spent seven years with the tribe in the 1970s and 1980s. Everett discovered a world without numbers, without time, without words for colors and without a past tense. Their language, he found, was not just simple grammatically; it only had several sounds and they were different between the men and women. For the men, it has just eight consonants (辅音）in the words and three vowels （元音）; for the women, who have the smallest number of speech sounds in the world, it has seven consonants and three vowels. To people from other places, the language sounds more like humming than speech. The Piraha can also whistle their language, which is how men communicating when hunting.The Piran cant write, have little common memory, and no idea of decorative art. In 1990 Everett tried to teach them to count; he explained basic numbers to a group who wanted to learn the skills needed to trade with other tribes. After eight months, no one could count to ten; even one plus one was beyond them. The experiment seemed to support Everetts theory; the tribe just couldnt understand the meaning of number.The Pirahas inability to count is important because it doesnt seem to support Noam Chomskys famous Theory of Universal Grammar, which holds that the human mind has a natural ability for language, and that all languages share a basic rule structure, which help children to understand ideas such as number. One of Chomskys coworkers has recently gone on an expedition with Everett to study the tribe. We do not yet know if he will change his theory after visiting the Piraha.(1)The Piraha have interested ethnologists for years mainly because.

B.The Pirahas children understand numbers well. C.Noam Chomsky wont change his theory for sure. D.Not all languages seem to share a basic rule structure.17DFor many years doctors have warned us about the dangers of stress （压力） and have given advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a serious illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in （陷入） a traffic jam, is bad for our health and should be avoided whenever possible. However, some experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.Dr Marios Kyriazis says that what he calls good stressis beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer. Dr Kyriazs says that good stresscan strengthen our natural defenses which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheinmers and heart problems. He believes that good stresscan increase the production of the proteins that help to repair the bodys cells. （细胞）According to Dr. Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to deadline are examples of good stress, this is situations with short-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly and effectively, and gives us a sense of achievement - we did it! However, in both these situations, the stress damages （损害） the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the the cellsown repair system repairs the damaged cells and removes harmful things that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the bodys response is greater than is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.As the body gets older, this self-repair system of the cells starts to slow down, says Dr Kyriazis The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to exerciseit. This means have a certain amount of stress in our lives. Other stressful activities that Kyriazisrecommendsas being good stress include packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break.So next tine your boss tells you that she wants to see that report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, dont feel nervous, just think of it as good stresswhich will have benefits for your long term health.(1)Most people agree that long-term stress.
