21、We all need friends and we always have.Our ancestors found that gaining the basic necessities of life was easier in a group.It’s estimated that the maximum number of people who lived in early communities of hunter-gatherers was 150.
Friends aren’t bound(受……限制)by blood or family bonds, employment contracts or legal obligations.Our circle of associates includes work colleagues and people we meet at parties, in the pub or on the train to work.Some associates are much more important than our family.We are capable of exchanging an email with these associates, and may have mutual acquaintances with a good number of them, providing common ground.We do things for one another because we want to.Whether writing an answer to a photo put on Facebook, sending a birthday card by post, or making a hospital visit, the efforts we have made for our friends are out of kindness.It is this nature of friendship which requires nothing in return that makes it beneficial and valuable.
Friendships take work, and they need to be nurtured, nourished and maintained.We feel good about helping our friends because we are friends.However, we often lose touch with our friends because of a lack of time and energy.When we are carrying a heavy load at work, involved in a serious relationship or raising children, it’s hard to spare time for friends.In these situations, we need to remind ourselves of what friends are for and why they can be so important in our lives.
In a survey of more than 2,000 married couples aged 55 or older, for both men and women, having friends was the best predictor of being satisfied in marriage — possibly because they were more satisfied with their lives as a result of having friends.
Researchers suggest social relationships are the reason why women live longer than men, Social bonds reduce the risk of disease by reducing blood pressure, cholesterol(胆固醇)and heart rate.A lack of good friends is as harmful to your health as smoking or being overweight.Indeed, people without friends are more likely to die younger.Not only do friendships prolong(延长)our lives, they make us happier too.People who are socially active don’t feel so stressed or feel they can not enjoy anything easily — they also tend to feel better about their lives and who they are.

22、It's generally agreed that heroes are great and always admired by common people.However,most of us have no clear idea about heroes.At some point,we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures,heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics(特点)which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.A hero does something worth talking about.A hero usually put others before and does his/her best to help people in need.A hero has a special story to tell and is thought highly of by people.

A hero has a vision(视野)from the mountaintop.He/She has the power to move people.He/She creates new possibilities.Without Gandhi,India might still be part of Britain.Without Martin Luther King,Jr.,Americans might take different buses,eat in different restaurants,go for walks in different parks,and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.

23、How to Speak in Public
Many people have a fear of public speaking. They worry that they will lose their words,bore the audience or somehow make a fool of themselves. It is easy to try to avoid public speaking,but that usually doesn't work out. Everyone has to speak publicly at some point in their life. You may give a speech in a class or a meeting. Maybe you'll have to give a speech for some honor you've received. 【1】
Relax. 【2】 Your audience don't expect you to be perfect. They want you to succeed just as much as you do. If you're thinking you'll forget everything,remind yourself that you are prepared and knowledgeable. Imagine yourself doing well.
Be yourself. You are not Jack Canfield or Tony Robbins. Share your true personality with your audience,and they'll find you reliable. 【3】
Know your topic. Try to speak about the subject you know well. Research the topic to make sure that you are correct. Public speaking is easier when you don't feel like a fraud(骗子).
【4】 Choose your message for the group you are speaking to carefully. If you' re giving a public speech, then rude jokes certainly won't be suitable.
Give value. Base your speech on 2 or 3 main points. 【5】 They'll be satisfied if they leave with something they can use, and that is what public speaking is all about.

G.Follow these steps to satisfy your audience and overcome your fear of speaking publicly.

25、There are too many fat people in America, so many Americans are fighting against overweight. But the ________thing is that the French,who consume rich food, tend to stay thin. Now a ________by Cornell University suggests ________life style and decisions about ________may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel ________. However, Americans tend to stop when their ________are empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating ________an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a ________time at the table,while Americans see eating as anything to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans ________the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and ________foods for the week. The French, ________tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille guiliano, author of French Women Don't Get Fat, decided to ________about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid________. Today she continued to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
