Thestudentarrivedearly,satfrontandcenter,andstoodoutinmyclassroominmoreways
than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate
communications class. He hungrily jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom
of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of
themwereateacher.JerryValenciawalkedinwithasmile—andheleftwithonetoo.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,”
Valenciasays.
One day I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that
semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have
第3页共10页2.2
his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my
communicationsclass.
Sure,Isaid.Buthewouldn’tgetanycredit.
Noproblem,hesaid.
Soon there he was again, back athis old desk, jumping into our discussions onhow to find
andtell stories in Los Angeles—a63-year-old man with asmuchenergy andcuriosity as anyof
theyoungstersinclass.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition
but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and
benefitoflearning,”saysJessicaEspinosa,a25-year-oldjunior.Afterward,IoverheardValencia
wantedtostayinschooluntilheearnedamaster’sdegree,butithadtakenhim12yearstofinish
communitycollege,sohehadalongwaytogo.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-
year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that
paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy
andacademic opportunitystimulating(振奋人心的).Valencia’sgrade inmyclassthissemester
will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most
importantways,itcounts.

journal. Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill,
especially for those with heart problems and infection (感染). Happy men seemed to be
protectedagainstinfection.
The researchers reported the findings from a 15-year study on the connection between the
sense of humor anddeathamong 53,556 women andmen in their country. The team studied the

influence of humor on people’s way of thinking, social skills and emotion development, and
examineddeathfromdifferentconditions:heartproblems,infectionandotherhealthproblems.
The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of
thinkinghada48percentlessriskofdeathfromallcauses,a73percentlowerriskofdeathfrom

“The humorous way of thinking plays an important role in people’s personality and may
make a difference to the way people deal with everyday life,” said study co-researcher Sven
Svebak.“Inthisway,itmayhelpreducefightingindailylife,preventingthebuild-upofstress.”
Although the sense ofhumor is anatural characteristic (特征), it canalso be developedthrough
socialactivities.
“I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeling challenges are
less likely to develop their senseof humor to dealwith everyday life when they grow up,” Sven
Svebaksaid.“Butifyouhadahumorlesschildhood,neverfear—studiesshowpeoplecanlearn

The combined influence of climate change and expanding agriculture are causing insect
populationstoplummetinsomepartsoftheworld,accordingtoanewstudythatdeterminedthe
abundanceofbugshasdroppedbyhalfinthehardest-hitplaces.
Leadresearcher,Dr.CharlieOuthwaite,saidlosinginsectpopulationscouldbeharmfulnot
only to the natural environment, but also to human health and food security, particularly with
loss of pollinators (传粉者). “Our findings highlight the urgency of actions to preserve natural
habitats, slow the expansion of high-intensity agriculture, and cut emissions to reduce climate
change,”sheadded.
In the latest study, the researchers pulled together data on the range and number of nearly
20,000 insect species, including bees, ants, butterflies, grasshoppers and dragonflies, at about
6,000differentlocations.Inareaswithhigh-intensityagricultureandsignificantwarming,insect
numbers have dropped by 49% and the number of different species by 27%, compared with
relatively untouched places that have so far avoided the severest effects of climate change,
accordingtotheresearch,publishedinNature.
But the researchers said that setting aside areas of land for nature could create a place for
insects, which need shade to survive in hot weather. “Careful management ofagricultural areas,
such as preserving natural habitats near farmland, may help ensure that vital insects can still
thrive(兴旺),”saidDr.TimNewbold.
Study researcher Peter McCann added, “We need to acknowledge how important insects

One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the
way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that
his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra
agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the
morning, so she wouldwear them first. After school, shewould rushbackand give them to Ali.
He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he
