Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.

Place friendship in the first place. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmoved or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.

Open up to close friends. Keeping a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt” intimacy (亲密). Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem when they are sad about a job loss, or other such events.

Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies,singing in a choir, and joining in a bowling league.

Don’t wait for a friend to ask for helps. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their after-school activities.

Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.

Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.

Enroll in an adult-education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.

“You’re leaving again?” asked my daughter as she saw me packing my carry-on.

More than her words, it was her face that pierced (刺穿) my heart ---I could see how crestfallen she was.

“It’s only for two nights, “I explained.

But that didn’t matter to her. It was just one more trip after barely being home for five days. I decided in that moment to travel less whenever possible and I managed to avoid flying altogether for most of the summer. As a result, it was a summer full of discoveries. I realized that my kids really were proud of me. In their time away from me they had learned lessons I couldn’t have imagined.

Recently I began traveling a lot again. But this time it was different, mainly due to the fact that I had seen firsthand that my children value strong female role models. They realize that hard work pays off. Being away from them even for a day at a time in many ways had done them a lot of good.

In particular, being a working mom is teaching my daughter how important it is to be independent and that you can follow your dreams. In many ways, her idea of a professional woman is much more realistic than what I imagined when I was her age. I think that even at nine years old she already knows that for all the success you might achieve, there is a price to pay, whether it’s long hours, spending time away from those you love, or simply not having the energy to have fun at times. I know the wishes I would devote all of my time to her, but honestly, even if I didn’t work I would rather she learned not to depend on me for everything, She needs to realize that she can fly on her own --- and that isn’t possible if I am hovering over her every single second of the day .

I have also realized that having a career sets a good example for my son. He is not afraid of a strong woman, and has a great respect for them. When he’s older, this will help him build healthier relationship.

Therefore, for all the working moms out there who work long hours, remember to value the positive lessons you might be teaching your kids.

If you’re looking for a fairly painless way to lose weight, researchers at Brigham Young University have a new solution for you: Put yourself on a regular sleep schedule. People who keep a regular sleep routine have a lower body fat than those who keep irregular sleep hours, says a new study.

Led by Bruce Bailey, professor of exercise science, researchers followed 300 female college students aged 19 to 26, who were given activity trackers(跟踪器)to watch their movements and activities, including waking and sleeping times . Researchers also measured their body composition (成分)before and after the one-week study period.

What the researchers found:

Body fat varied with sleep quantity. Women who slept between 8 and 8.5 hours a night had the lowest body fat. While those who slept less than 7 hours or over 9 hours had higher body fat.

High quality sleep was associated with lower body fat while poor sleep was connected with higher body fat.

Waking and going to sleep at the same time every day was most strongly linked with lower body fat.

The difference in body weight was greater with more variation(变化)in sleep pattern. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 90 minutes a night had higher body fat than those whose sleep patterns varied by 60 minutes or less on average.

The study followed up on a body of research conducted over the last few years that ties quality and quantity of sleep to weight loss and better weight control. While researchers don’t know exactly how sleep schedules affect body weight and fat, other studies have shown that sleep has an effect on physical activity, appetite(胃口), and the hormones(荷尔蒙)that control metabolism(新陈代谢), and the signals that tell us we’re full.

1.Which of the following about the study led by Bruce Bailey is true?

A. The participants included both females and males.

B. The participants’ activities were monitored through trackers.

C. The participants’ body composition were measured only after the study.

D. The study was controlled by researchers during a long period time.

2.Who may have the lowest body fat according to the study?

A. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 90 times a night.

B. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 60 times a night.

C. Women who sleep no more than 7 hours a night.

D. Women who get 8 to 8.5 hours of sleep a night.

3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.

A. It’s the first research to study better weight control.

B. Many people know exactly how sleep affects body fat.

C. Sleep can affect people at least in three ways.

D. Sleep can give signals to tell people they are full.

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Several factors that affects the sleep quality.

B. Some ways to help you lose weight efficiently.

C. The importance of having a regular sleep routine.

D. A study on the relationship between sleep and body weight.
