B The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2022, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie. The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2022, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths 虚构的故事 backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X or Nibiru heads toward or collides with the Earth. 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax恶作剧 ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims, ” NASA said in a questionandanswer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been 第 3 页,共 9 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 学习必备 欢迎下载tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2022,” it insisted. “After all, our planet has bgetting along just well for more than four billion years,” added NASA.There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA. Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2022 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar. NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2022, as another period begins immediately afterward. And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be ,NASA said. “And while comets and asteroids 小行星 have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare ,” NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago ,resulting in the end of dinosaurs. “We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs ,” the space agency said. 31 _played a key role in the spread of the rumors.

How rumors came into being C In the quest for better health, many people turn to doctors, selfhelp books or herbal supplements. But they overlook a powerful weapon that could help them fight illness and depression, speed recovery, slow aging and prolong life: their friends. Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship and social networks in overall health. A 10 year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain health as we age. “In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn preciated,” t well ap said Rebecca G. Adams, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. “There are a lot of things on families and marriage, but very little on friendship. It baffles me. Friendship has a bigger impact on our psychological well being than family relationships.”Bella DePaulo, a visiting psychology professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, whose work focuses on single people and friendships, notes that in many studies, friendship has an even greater effect on health than a spouse or a family member. It isn t entirely clear why friendship has such a big effect. It may be because people with strong social ties also have better access to health services and care. Beyond that, however, friendship clearly has a profound psychological effect. People with strong friendships are less likely than others to get colds, perhaps because they have lower stress levels. 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页,共 9 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 学习必备 欢迎下载Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack.

And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared. said Karen A Roberto, “People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to,”director of the center for gerontology 老年医学 at Virginia Tech.“ Friendship is an undervalued resource.

He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing number of hill walkers in the region as sources of international news. In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic Games in Barcelona. Excited by the students colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona. The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime,watching a growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed that they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer and watched. Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the official at the door and said “Pole Vault”. The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next came a heavyset man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous weapon in a modern city. The man shouted “Javelinand was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled. Perhaps they were all connected with security. His ” anpuzzlement grew w hen a huge man appeared with a steel ball in his hand. He
