When it comes to getting older, humans aren't so special after all. It turns out their pattern of aging isn't too different from most other primates, such as chimps, monkeys and baboons, new research shows.

A team led by Anne Bronikowski of studied data on primate aging collected over decades around the world and compared it with statistics on modern Americans. Aging was defined as the increased risk of dying from natural causes while getting older. Some experts have thought that because people have relatively long life spans, humans aged differently from other mammals.

The research team believed that any major difference between humans and primates was most likely to show up with modern people, rather than a hunter-gatherer culture, Bronikowski said in a telephone interview. "And the fact that we don't find a difference there is more compelling."

The basic pattern they found is a relatively high risk of dying in infancy(幼儿时期), a low risk of death during the juvenile years and then an increased risk of dying as aging progressed. Also, they found that in most cases males don't live as long as females. The authors wrote it in a study published online Thursday in the Journal Science.

The only exception to the general pattern was the muriqui monkey in Brazil ; males and females have similar life spans. Unlike other primates, muriqui males do not compete with each other for access to females. Instead, they cooperate with each other, explained co-author Karen Strier, an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin who has studied muriquis since 1982. The researchers said the reason males of other species die earlier than females may be a result of stress of competition.

    Joseph W. Kemnits of the Wisconsin National Primate Research Ceter called the study “an important step” because it provides the first assessment of patterns of aging in large populations of nonhuman primates living in their natural environments. Kemnits was not part of the research team.

    “The study of other primates contributes to understanding human aging because we share so much of our basic physiology,” added anthropology professor Kristen Hawkes of the , who was not part of the research team.

    When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no "I" in "team".

    There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.

    It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.

    Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.

    When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.

    Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers.

    The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.

    There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one heart." If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

    Stress can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious. What is stressful to one person is not necessarily stressful to another. Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear. The source of this uneasiness is not always known or recognized, which can add to the unhappiness you feel.

    Certain drugs can lead to symptoms of anxiety due to either side effects or withdrawal(脱离期) from the drug. A poor diet----for example, low levels of vitamin B12 -- can also contribute to stress or anxiety. Performance anxiety is related to specific situations, like taking a test or making a presentation in public. People with generalized anxiety disorder experience almost constant worry or anxiety about many things on more than half of all days for 6 months. Panic disorder or panic attacks involve sudden and unexplained fear, rapid breathing, and increased heartbeat.

The most effective solution is to find and address the source of your stress or anxiety. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. The first step is to take an inventory of what you think might be making you "stress out". Then, find someone you trust (friend, family member, neighbor, clergy) who will listen to you. Often, just talking to a friend or loved one is all that is needed to relieve anxiety. Most communities also have support groups and hotlines that can help. Also, find healthy ways to cope with stress. For example:

•Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet. Don't overeat.

     •Get enough sleep.

     •Exercise regularly.

     •Limit caffeine and alcohol.

     •Don't use nicotine, cocaine, or other recreational drugs.

     •Learn and practice relaxation techniques like yoga, tai chi, or meditation.

     •Take breaks from work. Make sure to balance fun activities with your responsibilities. Spend time with people you enjoy.

     •Find self-help books at your local library or bookstore.
