Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (Ѫѹ) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.

Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (½ôÕÅ) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners ¨Cwhile they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (ËãÊõ) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them. __5.____ Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

Can you touch your belly button (¶ÇÆê) by reaching behind your back and around your waist?

A new social trend has started in China, with thousands of netizens facing the challenge and uploading photographs of themselves to show off their bodies. Popular among many young female users on Weibo, the top, which translate as ¡°reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure,¡± was mentioned more than130 million times among Weibo users.

It not only spawned over 104,000 active discussions, but also led to concern about what means a healthy body image. ¡°Look! It has taken me more than four hours but I¡¯ve finally reached my belly button,¡± said Weibo user GayleRabbit. Another user Lucky said, ¡°Why does my belly button suddenly look and feel completely new?¡±

While the trend was popular with many female users on Weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger caught people¡¯s eye. ¡°Is this pose (×ËÊÆ) really that difficult? I don¡¯t think so,¡± Said Weibo user Sough Sa. His photo showing he was trying to touch his belly button was shared more than 8,452 times. It also drew over 2,000 comments from other users on Weibo. ¡°Show the skinny girls how it¡¯s done,¡± said one user.

Weibo user MedicalCream Tang Zhao said, ¡°Now you did it! So you don¡¯t have to lose weight and please stay the same.¡±

¡°I always support failures. Now I don¡¯t feel so bad about not being able to touch my belly button,¡± said another user Jacket.

¡°Do we need to have flexible arms or a skinny waist to pull this off?¡± asked Weibo user Chantilly623.

But some experts argued that China¡¯s new belly button trend was actually distorting (ÍáÇú) society¡¯s standards of beauty. ¡°These poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they also become an expression of competitiveness,¡± said Jolene Tan, Programmes and Communications Senior Manager in Singapore championing women¡¯s rights. She also told the BBC that the trend seemed to be a way of examining women¡¯s bodies to see whether they are good enough. However, experienced body trainers say the new trend is about flexibility of the arm and the size of the waist, rather than a good figure. A skinny person with fewer muscles has a better chance of achieving the pose.

Darling Kelli

I¡¯m so sorry I will not get to see you grow up as I so want to. Please don¡¯t blame people or the world for this. I wish I didn¡¯t have cancer and you didn¡¯t have to see me in pain as you often do now.

_1._ We don¡¯t have that time. I won¡¯t be able to drop you off on your first day at big school, pick you up after your first date, hold you when your heart hurts or cheer when you graduate.

But while your old dad is still around I thought I¡¯d try to give you some life advice. I hope it gives you some comfort.

School

Everyone will say it¡¯s important to work hard at school. Hopefully you¡¯ll always do your best. I did well at school but did it do me much good in life? Not really. __2.__

Mummy

You and your mum will argue at times, especially when you¡¯re a teenager. __3.__ Give Mummy a hug when she is feeling sad and help each other get through any horrible times when I am gone. When you¡¯re a teenager you might think your friends are right and your mum is wrong. But she has to make hard decisions for you. Treat her well.

Christmas & birthdays

On your first Christmas without me, I¡¯d love if you and Mummy would light a candle and remember me for a few minutes. It would be great if you two did the monkey dance together. That¡¯s something to make me smile from up above.

I¡¯ve given Nanny Sue presents for all your birthdays. I wish I could be there to see you open them. __4.__

__5.__

In life, many people will say you cannot do things. You make up your mind. Can you? Big challenges involve risks so make smart choices. Those who told me I couldn¡¯t do certain things didn¡¯t want me to do them. If you want something, it is nearly always possible, so do your best. I¡¯m sure there¡¯s a lot you can achieve!

And finally, thank you for being you, Kelli. Having you as my daughter is the greatest honour of my life.

All my love, always, to you princess and to Mummy,

Daddy

A. Please remember she loves you and wants the best for you.

B. Most dads and daughters have decades to chat around the kitchen table.

C. Remember your life motto.

D. Believe in yourself.

E. School work is important, but make sure you have fun too.

F. Remember to write thank-you letters for presents of kindness as it is always nice to act with grace and gratitude.

G. Hopefully you will like everything as it¡¯s hard to imagine you at 10, 15, and 20.

Children today spend less time outdoors than ever before and it may be harmful not only to their physical health, but also to their cognitive (ÈÏÖªµÄ) development.

A year-long study, recently published in the Sciences, found that elementary school children who were exposed to more green space within or directly outside their school showed improved learning and memory. The findings reinforce (¼ÓÇ¿) that of a recent six-year study on 905 Massachusetts public elementary schools, which found that students in schools that had more ¡°greenness¡± in their surroundings reported higher scores on standardized testing in English and math. ¡°There is an expanding body of scientific evidence linking the human experience in the natural world to better physical and mental health and improved cognitive abilities,¡± journalist Richard Louv, co-founder of the Children & Nature Network, said in an email to The Huffington Post. ¡°An increasing number of homeschoolers, nature preschools, independent primary and secondary schools, and forward-thinking public schools are incorporating (²¢Èë) nature experience into learning.¡±

The new study was conducted on more than 2,500 children in second, third and fourth grade at 36 primary schools in Barcelona, Spain. Researchers found that the students who attended schools with more green space showed a 5 percent improvement in the short-term memory that¡¯s critical for reasoning, learning and comprehension. But their inattentiveness decreased slightly.

Spending time outside could have a number of benefits for children beyond improved memory and attention. Another recent study found that adventurous outdoor play such as climbing, rough and tumble (·­½î¶·) play, and exploring alone improves children¡¯s physical health while also help them develop creativity and social skills greatly.

Some schools are starting to take notice, creating more space for children to enjoy being in nature, including community gardens, outdoor playgrounds and small parks.

1.What did the study lasting a year find?

A. The cognitive abilities of children today decreased.

B. The findings of another six-year study were incorrect.

C. Being exposed to nature was beneficial to the learning of pupils.

D. Students had higher scores on testing in English and math than before.

2.According to the passage, what can we know about Richard Louv?

A. He discourages students from getting close to nature to gain experience.

B. He is one of the founders of the Children & Nature Network.

C. He conducted the study on 905 Massachusetts public elementary schools.

D. He often contributes articles to The Huffington Post.
