Boys need friends,suffer when they don"t believe they have any,and worry over the ups and
downs of relationships.Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do,
in truth,though,no boy is an island;boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence
and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers (同龄人).
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships,most boys consider their friends
a very important part of their lives,and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls
are.A recent study of 10to15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more
fragile.Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys,and girls are
more hurt by the end of a friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group";they love games with rules,competition,
and doing things together.Boys seem to enjoy,even need the opportunity to test themselves against
others,and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court.
Competence and skill are widely respected;being picked last for a team or left out altogether is
an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature,the friendship becomes even more important,and it frequently widens to include
girls.During the teen years,friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in
which his parents are not included.The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds
with friends.There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me",
someone he can trust.They may be partners in crime or partners in study,but the friendship of
adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.

There are plenty of creams etc on the market that help you look younger, but today, Dr Oz is
going to show how some people are actually living longer.
"We are going to talk about extreme life extension," he says. "I am talking in details about allowing
us to go into our second century of life with the energy that you have when you are a young person."
Owing to advances in technology and research on how diet affect the aging process, Dr Oz says
it might be possible for some people to live to see their 120th birthdays.
There"s one man in Oprah"s audience who Dr Oz says may become the first man in history to live
to be 150 years old. Joe Cordell is one of thousands around the world who believe they"ve found
the key to an extreme long life-calorie restriction leads to a longer, healthier life.
At 59 Joe weighs 130 pounds. He may not look like a person who needs to count calories, but
as part of his life extension program, he inspects every mouth of food that passes through his system.
Every day for the past seven years, Joe has limited himself to about 1,950 calories.
He believes that by eating less and restricting his caloric intake, he will trigger a genetic switch that
slows the aging process.
Joe doesn"t take away himself of food. Instead, the then 52-year-old father filled up on natural
fruits, vegetables and lean proteins(瘦蛋白) that were packed with necessary vitamins and nutrients.
"Whenever you are thinking about calorie restriction, you should continually think about getting the
most nutritional amount per calorie," Joe says.
In keeping with this principle, Joe starts every morning with three apples...but he only eats the
peels. "Most of the fiber is in the peel, and more importantly, most of the nutrients are in the peel,"
he says.
"It is important to eat some nuts with breakfast so that you do take in some fat, some healthy fats,"
he says. "I think it helps the absorption of the nutrients, and it is very filling."
For lunch, Joe usually eats a large salad, loaded with vegetables. At dinnertime, he and his family
enjoy lean meat or fish and more vegetables.
When Joe started practicing calorie restriction, he weighed 175 pounds. Since then, he has lost
45 pounds, and he says he hasn"t had a cold in seven years. Though he is in his "golden years",
researchers studying Joe say he has the body of a 20-year-old athlete.

Now you are in a dinosaur 1 park. Coming here, you will find a kind of old 2 , which has
died out millions of years ago, dinosaur. In our park, we are happy to show you 3 dinosaurs,
which lived in the Jurassic. The four-storied-building-high grass-eating dinosaurs are submissive
(温顺的) and kind. You can 4 towards them and touch them. But the 5 of them are dangerous.
The four-legged meat-eating dinosaurs are very cruel. Please don"t 6 them and don"t try to give
them food. The 7 here is very thick and full of all kinds of animals that lived in the Jurassic. Without
any special 8 and the leading of the guide, please don"t step into it. OK, I"m sure that our park will
9 anyone who comes here and you will 10 a lot from it.
but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would
become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage,but to have one in the
driver"s seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed
drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the
other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and
fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an
atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors
of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don"t even seem able to recognize
politeness when they see it.
However,misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who
waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be
able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and
whenever they want to.
An experienced driver,whose manners are faultless,told me it would help if drivers learnt to
correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.
Unfortunately,modern drivers can"t even learn to drive,let alone master the road man ship. ears
ago,experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take
from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

puzzled by family problems or concerned about pets at home. All the questions above may make you
not concentrated on your study. Who can you turn to if you are such an unlucky student? A great person
to share your thoughts and feelings with is your school counsellor(顾问).
Add school counsellors to the list of people you can turn to when you need help. They know how to
listen and can help kids with life"s challenges(挑战). Counsellors have special training in how to help
kids solve problems, make decisions, and stand up for themselves. That doesn"t mean your counsellor
will wave a magic wand and the problem will go away. But it does mean he or she will help you cope
with(应付) it. Coping is an important word to know. Sometimes, kids and grown-ups have difficult
problems. Coping means that someone is trying to handle these problems and make things better.
Your school counsellor is available for you and wants to make your school experience the best it can
be. The counsellor"s job is to take your problem seriously and help you find a solution. The counsellor
also wants to help you learn as much as you can in class, be a contributing member of the school
community, and be a positive influence on your environment.
