Researchers have just offered evidence in a study that says obesity(肥胖) appears to spread through society. But the findings might also offer hope.If friends help make obesity acceptable, then they might also be influential in losing the fat. The researchers note that support groups are already an effective tool in dealing with other socially influenced problems, like alcoholism(酗酒).The findings appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers used information collected from 12,000 people. It was collected between 1972 and 2003 as part of the Framingham Heart Study. The information was highly detailed. There was even contact information for close friends of the people in the study.The researchers examined more than 40,000 social ties. They found a persons chances of becoming severely overweight increased by 50% if a friend had become obese.A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of becoming obese. The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that. Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School was a lead researcher in the study. He says there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend.The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex friendship, a person had a 71% increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after weight gain in a brother. In sisters, it was 67%.The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the University of California was the other lead expert. He says a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major part of peoples health is tied to their social connections.Both researchers say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical issue, but also a public health problem.56What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph Two mean?A. Obesity has negative influence on close friends.B. Friends might also play a part in losing weight.C. One might have positive influence on ones friend.D. Friendship may have little to do with ones health.57Which of the following statements would Nicholas Christakis agree to?A. If one gains weight, ones friends are likely to get fat.B. Social problems like alcoholism are easy to deal with.C. Friends usually dont follow each other to lose weight.D. One might influence others on their social behavior.58James Fowler seems to believe that_ .A. a friend who lives nearby affects us mostB. ones health has nothing to do with friendsC. social connections have effects on ones lifeD. a friend living faraway has the same influence as ones neighbor59The author makes his point clear in the text that_ .A. a major part of peoples health is based on their genesB. friends living closer have greater influence on ones healthC. social relationship is closely connected with peoples healthD. peoples physical condition is subject (受支配的，受制于的) to social connectionsBFun, and maybe moreNickname: tatoosunEmail: When to travel: Jun 2007 - Aug 2007Who am I: Slender African girl in her late 20s.

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to us
