9、ive speakers in the flesh.BIts apparently become a trend in schools around the world to ban students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended

10、 to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.“Lets face it. You cant ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you cant really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more t

11、han a single friend,” Greenberg said.The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobodys best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenber

12、g says.Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go i

13、n different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in diff

14、erent directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “Its about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of

15、 what it looks like when youre not,” Jacobs says.24. Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?A. To make students concentrate on their studies.B. To encourage students to make more friends.C.

18、ts and food sources(來源).El Yunque is a large national forest on the eastern part of Puerto Rico. Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017.

19、ations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the

20、creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That was the highest number in the program's history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(籠養(yǎng)) and in the wild since Maria, the s

More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(釋放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria. A third breeding center, in a

22、 forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.Scientists are considering whether to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds can learn from the wild birds how to su

27、ch finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives may be at an advantage over solitary（獨(dú)自） exercisers. Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(長壽) than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.The study was based on data from about 8,500

28、 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study. They completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity, and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died.Ten

29、nis came out on top in the research. Compared with people sitting all day, those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time, followed by badminton (6.2 years), soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.4 years), jogging (3.2

30、 years) and health-club activities (1.5 years).Tennis likely took the top spot because “its very interactive,” says study co-author Dr. James OKeefe, a physician at Saint Lukes Mid America Heart Institute. “At every point youre talking. Its just a very natural way to emotionally bond with people, be

32、ty of other health benefits. But for the best possible benefits, OKeefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.OKeefe, whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting, says hes even changed his own behavior because of t
