1 Unit 5 The power of nature

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2018广东惠州高三一调,D)

Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest. But new research suggests

that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.

Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health. That's true for both teens

and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and

his team to study whether experiences during teen years can influence adult health.

So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one

every year in a period of five years, and also spoke to these teens' closest friends, who

provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were

interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27.This time, the questions surveyed each person's overall

health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen's

friendship and his/her future health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be healthier adults.

Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced their

later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The

connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.

Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues, such as

anxiety and depression. And in these people,such other factors did not explain adult health as

well as teen friendships did.

“Following the crowd may have benefits,” says Allen,“but there are also drawbacks.”Teens

who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some

teens to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking,drinking and taking drugs.Dealing with it is

a challenge, Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn't lose

heart for not finding this easily,”he adds.“Parents need to understand the pressures teens

face.”
