Could your best friend make you fat?
Researchers who have studied“networks”of obesity(肥胖) think so:they found that if someone's friend becomes obese, that person's chances of becoming obese increase by more than half.
Brothers or sisters and a husband or a wife also have an influence, although reduced_people whose brothers or sisters became obese were 40 percent more likely to grow obese, while people whose husband or wife became obese were 37 percent more likely to.
“This is the first study to show how obesity spreads through the social network from person to person,”James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study, told in a telephone interviewing.
The researchers said their findings show that obesity is contagious—not like a virus which is contagious, but in a social sense.
It may help explain why obesity is worsening across the United States, with twothirds of Americans overweight and almost a third technically obese.
“It has become very popular to speak of the obesity epidemic.We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic,”Dr.Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.
“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem,”Christakis said.
“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size,”he added.“You might say it's OK to be heavier.”

A.the influence of people is smaller and smaller

中考英语阅读理解分类练习:教育类
It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language
8
and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the whole world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

When might you need to give blood(血) for a personality test? The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job.
Some people believe that your blood group hides(隐藏) no secrets. It shows the “real you”. And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at certain tasks(任务). This is the very reasons of why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job.
The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world. One important business company in Japan is quite special about this need:“For our office members, we must have 30 percent of group A and 15 percent of AB, 25 percent of O and 30 percent of B”.
Do you happen to know your own blood group? It seems that if you belong to blood group O, you can get things done and sell the goods well. Blood group A are the thinkers, while blood group B are highly creative. And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them. So if you visited the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office.
