7．What do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed？You probably pat them on the back or shoulder，or maybe you give them a big，warm hug．
We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have．But scientists have discovered that apes（猩猩）have this ability，too，according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences．
Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta，US，went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos（倭黑猩猩），which are closely related to humans．
The researchers analyzed the bonobos'reactions after more than 370cases of stressful situations，such as fights and losing temper，and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked，just like humans would have done．
However，researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others．In the protection centre，many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters．They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and to have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions，making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need．
"Orphans，who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions，are much worse at comforting others，"Professor Frans de Waal，one of the researchers，told The Telegraph．"Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly．Therefore，they pay more attention to others．"
This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react．Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions-for example，the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences-are usually better at expressing their concerns for others．

A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time．
A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time．From the pie chat，we can see 53% of the students like sports，so doing sports is the most popular activity in our school．The second popular activity for students is surfing the Internet，with 36% of the students interested in it．Only a few students，accounting for 8 percent of them，take reading as a hobby．And even fewer are fond of playing musical instruments．
From my point of view，our school should have more sports facilities built to satisfy the need of the students．Besides，guidance should be given to students on surfing the Internet．
