10.For young people,friends are often determined by their being close.Whoever is around is your friend.As humans get older,they become more selective (讲究的) in choosing whom they spend time with,as well as how they spend their time.According to a new study,the same goes for monkeys.The findings,in the journal Cell Biology,suggest human selectivity may be a very strong part of our evolutionary history (进化史)."An important finding suggests that humans become more socially selective when they know that their remaining life time is limited,such as in old age,"Professor Laura Almeling explained."We don't think that monkeys are aware of their own limited future time.Therefore,if they show similar changes in old age,their selectivity cannot be attributed to their knowledge about a limited future time,"she continued.
Researchers showed a variety of new animal toys,only one of which included a food treat,to a group of African monkeys.Young monkeys quickly grew out of their interest in the toys,preferring only the object that included food once they grew up.
Researchers also measured how monkeys'social activities change as they age,by watching and measuring their responses to pictures and sounds of friends.
Although older monkeys still took part in and remained interested in group activities,they put less time and energy into social relationships."With increasing age,the monkeys became more selective in their social activities,"Almeling said."They had fewer‘friends'and put less time into social activities.Interestingly,however,they were still interested in what was going on in their social world.Older females continued to respond particularly strongly to hearing a scream for help from their best friend,"Almeling explained."Older males still liked to look at pictures of the newborns,"she said.

As more cities and companies become increasing international,there is a growing number of children that are creating their own sub-culture.Often (36)A to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads,these students have a(n) (37)B impact on the global community.
So who are these Third Culture Kids?They are not a new phenomenon.As one looks(38)B history,there is a realization that certain groups of people have led highly (39)C lives,a key(40)D in describing TCKs.They often(41)C their parents into another country and spend a significant part of his or her development years outside the parents'culture.They are(42)A to new cultures and to other people in the community who (43)D move constantly.Their numbers (44)B into the hundreds of thousands and are increasing.Ease of (45)D and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this (46)A.
The question"Who am I?"is frequently asked by TCKs.They have (47)B a host of cultural identities,and have built relationships to all the cultures,(48)C not having full ownership of any.Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK's life experience,the sense of (49)D is in relationship to others of a similar background.
As you enter into the world of TCKs,one might suspect they are no(50)C.But it is (51)A,after spending only a short time with them,that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare(52)B and local issues.They represent many countries and cultures.They are the future cross-culturalists and (53)A future politicians,diplomats,government employees and educators.
They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and (54)C lives.So,whatever one chooses to label the international students as---TCKs,Global Nomads,or Global Souls---we will gain unbelievable (55)D.
