生词提示

diligent勤奋的creative有创造力的bulb灯泡

 Born in America,Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. Later,how?ever,he turned out to be a man full of imagina?tion.

  I adore Edison a lot on account of his great contributions to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his life time,he was eager to know how things worked, which helped him to have the nickname " the Wizard of Melo Park". He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.

  What impressed me most is his famous say?ing,"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. " Probably I can't be an Edison myself,but I can be a hard-working student. From him,I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born,but what you are doing and how you do in your life.

  Many people turn to doctors or self-help books,but they ignore a powerful thing that could help them fight illness;their friends.

  Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that old people have a large circle of friends. A 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk(危险)for obesity(肥胖)among people whose friends gained weight. And last year,Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could improve brain health as we age.

  "In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn't well realized," said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. " Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychologi?cal(心理的)health than family relationships.”

  While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men,having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. Only smoking was as important a risk factor(因素) as having little social support.

  Exactly why friendship has such a big effect isn't entirely clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. " People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to," said Karen,a doctor. " The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
