10．While contact between adolescents （between the ages of fifteen and nineteen） and their peers （同龄人） is a universal characteristic of all cultures，the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal．In American contemporary society，adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults．
This pattern of age segregation（隔离） in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society．Changes in the workplace separated children from adults，with adults working and children attending school．The dramatic increase of mothers in the  workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults．School reform efforts during the nineteenth century，which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades，have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children．Finally，the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture．From 1955 to 1975，the adolescent population increased  dramatically，from 11 percent to 20.9 percent．This increase in the number of adolescents might  be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size．
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers．Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents'daily activities and found that they spend  more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity．In a typical week，high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults．This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence．In sixth grade，adults （excluding parents） account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks．Another important characteristic of  adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous （自治的） function．While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents，adolescent peer groups typically  make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so．

81．"This pattern of age segregation"refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate themselves fromyounger children and adults
82．Besides changes in the workplace，school reform efforts and the changes in populationare the other two factors contributing to adolescent peer culture．
83．When do adolescents start to spend less time with adults？In early adolescence．
84．How do adolescent peer groups differ from childhood peer groups？They have less close supervision of parents．/They manage to escape adult supervision．/They are increasingly autonomous．．
17．There were smiling children all the way．Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway，wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang．Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives．This is the simple village people of Malaysia．I was moved．
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car，so this was the first time I was on a train．I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread．I looked about the train．There was not one familiar face．I sighed and sat down to read my Economics．
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia．Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore，so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past．As we went beyond the city，I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green．Then the first village came into sight，immediately I came alive； I decided to wave back．
From then on my journey became interesting．I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life．Then everything came alive．The mountains seemed to speak to me．Even the trees were smiling．I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time．
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry．I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3：00pm．Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth．I looked at the people all around me．They all looked beautiful．When my uncle waved with a smile，I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug．I had never done this before．He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile．We walked arm in arm to his car．
I looked forward to the return journey．

11．Want to add some hours to your day？Ok，you probably can't change the fabric of time．But a new study suggests that the way you feel about your goal can change your concept of time and that some simple strategies could make you feel less rushed．
In a series of experiments，Jordan Etkin，a professor of marketing at Duke，and her co-authors，Loannis Evangelidis and Jennifer Aaker，looked at what happens when people see their goals as conflicting with one another．In one，they asked some participants to list two of their goals that they felt were in conflict，and others simply to list two of their goals．Those who were forced to think about conflicting aims felt more time pressure than those who weren't．In another experiment，the researchers gave participants a similar prompt regarding goal conflict，but this time measured their anxiety levels as well as their attitudes toward time．They found that participants who thought about conflicting goals had more anxiety than those who didn't，and that this，in turn，led to feelings of being short on time．
"Stress and anxiety and time pressure are closely linked concepts，"D．Etkin explained．"When we feel more stress and anxiety in relation to our personal goals，that manifests as a sense of having less time．"
Technological advances that allow people to do lots of things at once may increase the feeling of goal conflict，she said．
"I think the easier it is for us to try to deal with a lot of these things at the same time，"
She  said"the more opportunity there is for us to feel this conflict between our goals．"
She isn't the first to suggest that actual busyness isn't the only thing that can make us Feel busy  At the Atlantic，Derek Thompson wrote that"as a country，we're working less than we did in the 1960s and 1980s．"He offered a number of possible reasons some Americans still feel so overworked，including"the fluidness ffl±） of work and leisure．"As he put it：
"The idea that work begins and ends at the office is wrong．On the one hand，flexibility is nice，On the other，mixing work and leisure together creates an always-on expectation that makes it hard for white-collar workers to escape the shadow of work responsibilities．"
And Brigid Schulte writes in her 2014 book Overwhelmed：How to Work，Love，and Play When No One Has the Time that some researchers believe"time has no sharp edges．What often matters more than the activity we're doing at a moment in time，they have found，is how we feel about it．Our concept of time is indeed，our reality．"
Fortunately，Dr．Etkin and her team did find ways of making us feel better about time-or，at least，of reducing the negative influence of goal conflict．When participants performed a breathing exercise that reduced their anxiety，the impact of such conflict o n their perception of time was less pronounced．Reframing anxiety as excitement （by reading the phrase"I am excited!"aloud several times） had a similar effect．
Breathing and reframing may not solve everyone's time problems-Ms．Schulte writes that some Americans are indeed working more than they used to．She cites the work of the sociologists Michael Hout and C aroline Hanley，who have"found that working parents combined put in 13 more hours a week on the job in 2000 than they did in 1970．That's 676 hours of additionally paid work a year for a family．And that's on top of all the unpaid hours spent caring for children and keeping the house together．"Sometimes，we may feel short on time because we actually are．However，Dr．Etkin believes her findings suggest we may"have the ability to influence our experience of time more than we think we do．"
"We're all going to have times in our lives when our goals seem to be in more conflict than others，"she said．But with techniques like the ones her team tested，"we really can help ourselves feel like we have more time．"
