[1]Hello.It's one of the first words we learn as babies,yet it's one of the last ones we think to use as adults.That's unfortunate,because saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another's worth.How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word?To find out,I spent one month saying hello to every person I met.Here's what I've learned.
[2]It can boost (促进) productivity.In one of the few studies ever done on this subject,Allan Allday,an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University,had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning.This exchange of greetings raised the kids' productivity.School went from impersonal to personal,and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.

Whatever_ the_ reason,_my_ urban_ hellos_ were_ answered_ far_ less_ often_ than_ my_ rural_ ones.Similarly,people in vacation spots,like the Jersey Shore,were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.
[4]It's a form of universal health insurance.It's impossible to say hello without smiling.And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure,relieve stress and boost happiness.Apparently,a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).
