Do you often stressed out behind the wheel? That might not be a bad thing. Researchers have discovered that teenager drivers who have a high sensitivity (敏感性) to stress actually have lower rates of car accidents than adults.

Car accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers, so teen driving is a public health problem that is worth a lat of study.

To create a stressful situation in the lab, scientists did a math test to 40 teenagers, all of whom had recently gotten their drivers’ licenses.

The researchers found out the teens’ level of the stress hormone, hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙可体松) after the math quiz. The higher the cortisol level, the more sensitive a person is to stress.

The researchers then followed and studied the teens for 18 months. And cameras fixed inside their cars recorded their driving behavior.

The result was that the teens who had a lower response (反应) to stress actually had higher rates of accidents and near accidents than did those with higher stress sensitivity.

Calm confidence can be a valuable thing in some situations. But behind the wheel perhaps the safer

teen driver is just a bit nervous.

On a cold evening of April our ship was sailing for Ireland. Suddenly a violent storm rose and overturned our ship. Fortunately I held a board and was washed up on an island. It was completely dark. On reaching the island，I found a smooth place to lie down. Quite tired I slept for a long time. I woke up with a start when I was dazzled (使目眩) by glaring sunlight. How I felt hungry and thirsty！The island with its beautiful landscape at dawn appeared before my eyes.

I began to explore the island. It was an uninhabited island surrounded by trees. Yellow fruits on the trees made me feel hungry. I tasted one. How sweet and delicious it was！I ate greedily a lot then I lay down comfortably on the soft grass. Around me were fragrance (芳香) and singing of birds. There, far away, on the right, a waterfall was falling down the mountainside. I rushed toward it. In the afternoon when I was wandering around the island, I happened to find out a cave hidden behind the thick forest. It was convenient for me to turn it into a place for sleeping for the night.

Day in day out, nearly two weeks passed by. My food was mere fruit and some fish caught from the stream. Sometimes I tried to hunt some wild animals but in vain. Had I been equipped with necessary things，I would have enjoyed remaining here for food.

One morning I caught sight of a boat. I signaled and shouted loudly. I was rescued but so far I have had the memories of a fairy land which I had once happened to discover!

One Saturday night, while we were sitting around our living room with some old friends, one of them started trying to remember how long we’d lived there.

“Since 1952,” I said. “We paid off the mortgage eight years ago.” “What did you pay for it?” “We paid $ 29,500 in 1952.”

My friend nodded knowingly and thought a minute.

“I think,” he said, “that you could get $85,000 for it today.”
