Breaking the News about Your Diagnosis

1 When I was diagnosed with breast cancernearly a year ago，I found myself at a loss for words atfirst. Over time，however，Ideveloped some pointers （点子），which I hope will helpothers.

2 During the first few weeks of emotional “aftershocks”（余悸）from the diagnosis，I found myself unable to utter the word “cancer”.Still，I wanted to share the news with myrelatives and friends who already knew that I'd had a biopsy（活检）and were anxiously awaiting my telephone call. I did the best Icould，which is all anyone can do in this situation.When I called them，I said，“Whatwe feared has happened.” They immediately knew what Imeant.

3 Nearly a year after my diagnosis，I find myself more comfortable telling people “1 was diagnosed with cancer” instead ofsaying '“1 have cancer.” Onsome deep level，I don't want to “own” this illness. Choose language thatsuits you when you share your news. And keep in mind that there is no one “right” way of doing this.

4 Most people，afterhearing your announcement，will be curious about thenext step.

They may wonder if you will be undergoingradiation therapy and/or chemotherapy（化疗）.They maywonder where and when you will have surgery. Answer their questions as best youcan，but keep in mind that “1don't know right now” or “I'mstill in too much shock to think about that” are goodanswers.

5 Wait until the initial wave of strongemotions has passed before telling the children in your life. Don't overwhelm（使不知所措）very young children with too much information. Assure them that，even if you will be in the hospital for a while，they will see you every day and they will be cared for. Olderchildren may already fear the word “cancer”，so be prepared to reassure them. Emphasize the positive steps thatdoctors will be taking to treat your illness.

第17、18、19、20、21、22、23题：
In Sports, Red is the Winning Color
When opponents of a game are equally matched, the team dressed in red is more likely to win, according to a new study.
British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham reached that conclusion by studying the outcomes of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman-wresting, and freestyle-wrestling matches at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.
In each event， Olympic staff randomly assigned red or blue clothing or body protection to competitors. When competitors equally matched with their opponent in fitness and skill, athletes wearing red were more likely to win . "Where there was a large point difference—presumably because one contestant was far superior to the other—color had no effect on the outcome," Barton said.
"Where there was a small point difference, the effect of color was sufficient to tip the balance."Joanna Setchell, a primate researcher at the University of Cambridge in England, has found similar results in nature. Her work with the large African monkeys known as mandrills shows that red coloration gives males an advantage when it comes to mating.　The finding that red also has an advantage in human sporting events does not surprise her, addding that "the idea of the study is very clever."
Hill and Barton got the idea for their study out of a mutual interest in the evolution of sexual signals in primates—"red seems to be the color, across species, that signals male dominance and testosterone levels," Barton said.For example, studies by Setchell, the Cambridge primate researcher, show that dominant male mandrills have increased red coloration in their faces and rumps（臀部）. In another study ，scientists put red plastic rings on the male zebra finches（斑胸草雀），which increased the  bird’s success in finding a mate.　　Barton said he and Hill speculated some speculated that "there might be a similar effect in humans. Hill and Barton found their answer by viewing Olympic competitors in the ring，on the mat，and in the filed.“Across a range of sports，we find that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning，”the researchers write.
Barton adds that this discovery of red’s advantage might lead to new regulations on sports uniforms. In the Olympic matches he studied，for example，it is possible that some medal winners may have had an unintended advantage—their clothing！
