A
[1]Compared to people with bad attitudes，people are less likely to suffer from
colds．It’s possible that being positive helps the body fight il1nesses.
[2]In a previous study，people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to
develop coughs and other cold symptoms．People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors，even when medical tests detected those symptoms．
[3]Those findings were interesting，but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects
whether he or she gets sick．Instead，it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters．
[4]Evidence suggests，for instance，that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing
and optimistic，with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life．This would mean that who we are，not how we feel，ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.
