But their power could get stronger with age, and even _35_ family relationships.A researcher team from Michigan State University, US, recently discovered the large role friendships play in our lives. According to the researchers, friendships can “make a world of difference”, and even influence how we respond to illness. The research involved two studies. The first one looked at survey data _36_ over 270000 participants of all ages from nearly 200 countries. They were asked information about their relationship, health and happiness.The results showed that both family relationships and friendships were linked to better health and happiness _37_. However, as people grow older, friendships bee more important than family relationships when it es to _38_ health and happiness.In the second study, the researchers _39_ data from a survey of nearly 8000 adults in the US. The studys aim was to explore if relationships are related to chronic health problems.It turned out that friendships play an important role in how older adults feel. If you have supportive friends, and you are more likely to be happier and free from health concerns. This goes the other way, too. If your friendships bee a _40_ of stress, youre more likely to experience chronic illness, such as high blood pressure and cancer.“_41_ of these studies show that friendships predict day-to-day happiness and ultimately how long well live, more so than spousal and family relationships,” William Chopik, lead author of the researcher, told the Daily Mail.For Chopik, this finding was not a surprise. Friendships are optional we hang on to the ones that make us feel good and _42_ those that dont but no one can choose his or her family. This means it is more challenging to deal with serious and negative interactions from within our families. “Friendships help us stave off loneliness but are often harder to _43_ across the lifespan,” Chopik told VOA.“If a friendship has _44_ the test of time, you know it must be a good one a person you turn to for help and advice often and a person you wanted in your life,” he added.III.

This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness（孤独） can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most mon type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation-for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the more severe. Unlike the second type, chronic（慢性的） loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and being close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists（心理学家） agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be very sad, and sometime dangerous.60.

But have you ever given a thought to the science behind this problem?Oliver OReilly, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California Berkeley, US, began trying to solve this mystery after noticing that his young daughter could never keep her shoelaces tied. With the help of two of his graduate students, OReilly ran real-world experiments in search of a reasonable explanation. “We looked like crazy academics because we were just walking the halls of Berkeley watching our shoelaces e united,” says OReillys student Christine Gregg. She ran on a treadmill so the team could film her shoes to catch the details.They found that shoelace knot failure happens in a matter of seconds, thanks to a plex interaction of forces.The main cause, according to OReily, is inertial forces. Normally, a strong knot has many turns, held together by the friction at its center. The more turns there are, the easier it is to keep it tight.However, stomping ones foot could produce an acceleration at the base of the knot. Meanwhile, the laces whip back and forth, pulling at the ends like an invisible hand. Finally, the knot reaches a point where the acceleration wins over the friction, and it es undone all at once.“Once you have a little bit of slip, all the forces change, until the slip gets bigger and bigger,” said Gregg. At that point, it only takes a bit of movement for the entire knot to e undone.The
