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 Georges school in South London， isnt intended 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 than 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， Greenberg 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 in 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 different 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 what it looks like when youre not， Jacobs says（1）Why

habitats and food sources（来源） 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 Category4storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017 Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations 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 13birds after years of forest clearing A special program was started in 1972to help increase the parrot population， which led to the 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 programs history Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity（笼养） and in the wild since Maria， the species is still in danger The Puerto Rican Amazon is the islands only remaining native parrot More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest Scientists have not released（释放） any of the birds since Hurricane Maria A third breeding center， in a 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 survive in the forests Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao， which was not as heavily damaged by Maria（1）Why has the parrot population greatly decreased in the past 200years？ ABecause of Hurricane MariaBBecause of too much huntingCBecause of the loss of forestsDBecause

kind youll actually do But that may not always be the case； new research finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives may be at an advantage over solitary（独自） exercisers Tennis， badminton and soccer are all better for longevity（长寿） than cycling， swimming， jogging or gym exercise， according to the research The study was based on data from about 8，500 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 Tennis 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 years） and healthclub activities （1.5 years） Tennis likely took the top spot because its very interactive， says study coauthor 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， besides getting your exercise But he adds that the study may not have been able to fully account for the fact that wealthier， bettereducated peoplewho tend to be healthier to begin withmay be more likely to play tennis Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other health benefits But for the best possible benefits， OKeefe says gymgoers 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 the study： he and his family have taken up badminton You cant play badminton without feeling like a kid again， he says Its just pure fun（1）Which of the following is best for living a long life？ ACyclingB BadmintonC SwimmingD Gym exercise（2）How many people were still living at the end of the research？ AAbout 8，500B About 4，500C

puts the theory into practiceBHe plays badminton just for funCHe feels like playing badminton with kidsDHe takes more exercise than
