When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots（凝块）that cause heart attacks and strokes. \are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health,\his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.
Miller's team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music. They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function.
Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked—in most cases in this group heavy metal—blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.
Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. \dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. . . . It makes me feel really good,\

任务型写作
Praise can change a person
The writer was once praised by one of her grandmother’s friends for her beautiful green dress. This praise not only made her happy but also changed her attitude towards herself.
Praise is really magical. Perhaps many of us had such experience. Take myself as an example. I was very naughty in the primary school. Most of the teachers and even my parents felt headache of me. But it happened that I once got a very high mark in an examination and the head teacher told my parents about this. My parents praised me crazily for this for quite a long time and told neighbors about that. I felt really happy and became polite to others.
