19、me as teenagers. You can choose your friends, but you cant choose your family. That line comes from American writer Harper Lees book To Kill a Mockingbird. Now compare her words to another famous expression: Blood is thicker than water. This means that family will always be with you while other peop

20、le with no blood connection may come and go. However, if forced to choose which is more important, American researchers now say friendship is more important than family. Their new study suggests that friends may be more important than family members, especially as we age.The study comes from researc

21、hers at Michigan State University. They found the importance of friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older. William Chopik was one of the lead researchers in this study. He says, keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and happiness. F

22、amily can be helpful and enjoyable, but can also cause trouble.”The Michigan State researchers considered information from two separate surveys.

23、tronger predictor of health and happiness” as people get older. Unhealthy friendship led to increased chronic conditions (慢性病).But keeping a friendship takes time. If a friendship can be through the test of time, Chopik said, you know it must be a good one, a person you can turn to ask for help and

24、advice and a person you want in your life.”This may be good news for people who dont have strong ties with family members. Not all of us are born into the families we need.

Snow may fall, but students wont be able to spend the days sledding (滑雪橇) outside. Classes will continue online. Officials say tha

28、t holding electronic workdays (e-days) will help students keep up with their studies on snow days. It will also help students not to make up (弥补) schooldays later in June.Which would you like better, spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation?
