What might account for friendship's health-giving powers? Part of the answer may simply be that friends are likely to encourage you to take good care of yourself and help out when a health crisis looms. That's what happened to Ruth Irwin of Mansfield, Ohio, after she was diagnosed last year with breast cancer 'I was petrified,' she says, The first person she called after getting the news was her friend Norma Tooman, who had battled uterine cancer the previous year. Norma offered to drive two hours with her for radiation therapy, five days a week for six weeks, then helped Ruth find a closer treatment facility 'The fact that she'd gone before me calmed my fears and gave me hope,' says Ruth, who's now back at work and doing well.

Ruth may have benefited from more than her friend's advice and Practical assistance.

Scientists have discovered that many of the intricate physiological Processes that govern illness can be influenced by the presence or absence of social connections.'Our bodies are sensitive to a whole range of social ties.' Teresa Seeman, an epidemiologist at UCLA. Much of this has to with how stress affects the immune, endocrine and cardiovascular systems-and how friendship, by easing stress, can buffer the impact on the body Stress, of course, triggers the famous fight-or-flight response. Orchestrated by a rush of stress hormones, your heart races, blood pressure goes up, muscles tense and the nervous system goes on high alert. Chronic stress can take a physical toll, contributing to heart problems, for instance, by raising blood pressure, constructing arteries and increasing blood's tendency to clot.

Having friends mitigates the physiological consequences of stress. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, for instance, have found that when study subjects were asked to do stressful tasks, just having a buddy in the same room-even if the friend wasn't helping with the task-made the task-doer's heart rate and blood Pressure less likely to climb.

2. 다음 Celin Dion과의 대화에 대하여 물음에 답하세요.

Report: Did you miss show business?

Dion; I needed a balance. When you are in show business for 20-something years, at one point you need to have a normal life. It was just too much. After Beauty and the Beast and Titanic -too much publicity, TV, radio, too much I didn't want people to say, 'Oh, God, her again?!'

And I don't miss show business at all. But when I got back in the recording studio and started to sing, something was there that had never left. I' from Quebec, and when I leave my country, a piece of me stays there. Well, it's the same thing with show business, I stopped, but a part of me, this little candle stayed

R; Your candle still stayed lit

Dion: Yes. and when you sing one song after other over the years, it's all pretty much the same thing But when you stop and enjoy life, and you have a child, it gives you something to sing about. It's refreshing.

R: How did you arrive at the decision to come back? Had you given yourself a timetable?

Dion: I didn't want to stop my career for too, too long and have to rebuild the whole thing At the same time, I needed more than six months off. We decided two years was fair. I'm glad the first try with the in vitro worked, because if it hadn't that would have pushed me even more. But it was always clear in my mind that I was going to come back.

R: You're a different person now. You're a mother, you''ve done other things. Is your show business life going to be different?

Dion: Very different. I'm not going to be touring any more. In March of 2003, we're going to move to Las Vegas for three years. There is no way that I can take the plane every night, leave the hotel every afternoon, do the sound check, eat, do my hair and makeup, stretch, do vocal exercises, do the show, get in the plane again, next city, Rene'-Charles, ear infections, and I'm not being able to be with my son, Every year is important, but the first years of a child are very, very important.

R; You establish a foundation in those first years.

Dion: You do, and that foundation makes you solid for the rest of your life. A foundation, true values-that's what I received. And that's going to be our biggest challenge - to raise our kid in this environment of a not-normal life, and remain normal people.
