Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest. But new research suggests something different. Scientists have known that close friendships help health. Lonely people are more likely to get sick. That's true for both teens and adults. Those findings inspired Joseph Allen and his team to look at teen behavior.

So they followed 171 teens,starting when the kids were just 13. The same 171 people were interviewed again as adults,at ages 25,26 and 27. Whether teens held in their feelings or expressed them to a close companion also influenced their later health. Those who held in their feelings were more likely to become sick as adults. What’s more,the study found that teens who went along with what their friends wanted,rather than being independent,were also healthier in their twenties.

The (关系) held up even after the scientists took other possible influences on health into consideration. Weight,family income and drug use were all examined. Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen,but there are also weak points. Teens who are more independent are likely to do better in school. And peer ^essure may lead some kids to. do risky thi?gs.

Tara Dumas is ? (心理学家) in London. She says that the study’s findings not only are interesting but alsft emphasize the value of teen friendships. She wants to know what will happen when peers encourage each other to behave in ways that are unhealthy,such as smoking or drinking. She wonders whether those friendships will still lead to healthier adults.

Dealing with peer pressure is a challenge. It is not as simple as just saying ‘no” ” Allen says. “Finding the right balance is the key. Parents need to understand fhe pressures teens face,” he adds.

If you drop a feather and a hammer ( 铁锤） , which do you think will hit the ground first?

On his last moon walk in 1971,Apollo 15's Commander David Scott did his final 21 for the television cameras. Scott was re-creating an experiment 22 by the astronomer Galileo in 1590.

If you guess that the 23 would hit the ground first,you' re not alone. When Galileo was a boy,everyone 24 that heavier things fell faster. A rock twice as heavy as a potato should fall twice as fast. That's what they 25 in school.

But Galileo wasn’ t so 26 . So he decided to 27 it. He dropped balls of different 28 from towers and timed how long they took to get to the ground. And he discovered 29 amazing — dropped things fall at the same rate,no matter how 30 they are.

Why? Falling objects fall 31 the pull of gravity between the object and Earth. And the tremendous (巨大的) force of Earth's gravity is the same whether it's 32 on a feather or a hammer.

But wait,you say — feathers do fall more 33 than hammers. That's quite true,on Earth — but the 34 is air,not gravity. Air pushes against light feathers enough to hold them up,but it isn't 35 enough to hold up a heavy hammer. This pushing of air 36 people for a long time.

The moon has no 37 to slow a falling object. But it does have gravity. The moon's gravity is 38than Earth's,since the,moon is smaller. But it's still strong enough for dropping things.

And sure enough,when Scott let the hammer and the feather drop,they hit the ground 一 exactly 39.

“Galileo was 40 in his findings/' Scott broadcast. .
