Say you meet with difficulty, what’s the first thing you do? Call your best friend and ask for help? It turns out that doing this may be better for you than you think. Researchers find that friendship has a big influence on your health, well-being and business.

One study from scientists recently found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22% less likely to die during a 10-year period than those with fewer friends. Other researchers discovered that having a strong social network could improve brain health as we age.

Even more interesting, feeling close to your friends may give you a different view on things. Researchers gathered 34 college students out side and asked them to estimate the steepness(估计陡峭程度) of a hill after climbing it. Those standing with friends gave lower estimates, and the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.

What is the reason that friends can make obstacles seem less difficult? “People with stronger friendship networks feel that there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen A. Roberto, director of the center of the hospital at Virginia Tech. “Friendship is a valued resource (宝贵的资源).”

It is truly the fact. Friends make your life better. They provide support in hard times. They inspire you to make changes in your life, encourage you to set goals and cheer you on every step of the way until you reach them.

Which do you think is the best way to keep healthy?

With the development of the society, people no longer worry about where their next meal comes from as they did in the old days. They become more and more concerned about their health problem. Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology(心理).

According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally(精神上) ill. They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can’t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature.

Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Joining in some keep-fit clubs or attending some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.

As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.

Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humour, even if you are 80, and you’ll never be old.

1.According to the passage, in the old days, what people cared most might be _____.

A．food             B．exercising         C．clothing           D．health

2.According to the writer, the best way to keep healthy is to _____.

A．have meals regularly                     B．do outdoor exercises

C．go to hospital frequently                  D．keep psychological health

3.The most probable reason for patients who are mentally ill might be ____.

A．burden           B．depression        C．sadness           D．spirit

4.The best way to develop a good quality of psychology might be ____.

A．taking social responsibility                 B．exercising in a keep-fit club

C．going on journeys                       D．taking physical exercise

5.The key point to keep young is to _____.

A．keep exercising                        B．keep a young heart

C．keep humourous                        D．keep a proper diet

Which do you like better: breakfast or lunch? 1. Brunch gets its name from the first two letters of breakfast (br-) and the last four letters of lunch (-unch).

2.. They liked to go hunting. During the hunting break, they would enjoy a mid-morning meal that included meat, eggs and many other things.

Today, it is a meal eaten around late morning to early afternoon, usually on weekends. It might seem like a simple meal, but sometimes it raises breakfast to an artistic level. For example, ordinary pancakes might be changed to blueberry pancakes.

In Melbourne, brunch culture is also being welcomed. I decided to try it with my friend. We visited a cafe that is famous for its flower theme. 3.

This theme is also shown in its food and drinks. The pink rose tea latte (拿铁) had real rose petals (花瓣) on top. 4. For the main course (主菜), I chose the soft-shell crab. The crab was placed in a bread bowl with some fried crab claws (爪) on the top.

The brunch greatly satisfied my appetite (食欲). 5.

A. It tasted as sweet as it looked.

B. Lack of food is the main cause of brunch.

C. Well, with brunch you don’t have to choose!
