Good friends are good for you. Good friends bring happiness into your life by relieving stress, giving comfort, and removing loneliness. Healthy friendships are also linked to a healthy heart, lower blood pressure, less depression, and a longer life. So, as a medical professional, I always encourage people to make friends, because I know it will do them good in more ways than one. A friend of mine was lonely after his wife died. He loves books, so I suggested he join a book club at the local library. As well as sharing what they are reading, the club members go out to dinner after each meeting. My friend followed my advice and got to know several of his fellow readers and now they are good friends. The chib eased his grief and brought some new happiness into his life. He looks better and you can bet he is healthier. So, if you find yourself alone and think you have no friends, go out and find some. More people than you think are in just the same boat. Join a group or club where people with interests like yours meet regularly: perhaps sign up for a class, learn a language, etc.13()11. Where arc the speakers?A. At an office. B. At a restaurant. C.

Professor Antonella Soracc is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain. This is Irue not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia(痴呆)，where research consistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of the disease for four (o five yearsa better result than with any medication to date.It is those benefits of bilingualism(双语)that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe's minority languages-Gaelic, Manx, Coniish and Ulster Scots, she says.Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh Bilingualism Mattersnow expanding across Europe and in (he UShave convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottish children will be learning a language other (han English in their Hrsl year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages. "In business, people say 'English is the language of business, why would I need to learn another language? ' " said Sorace. 44Maybc it would mean you could do better business."Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing languages can lake the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damage children's brains. There were even suggestions it could encourage schizophrenia(精神分裂症).Study after study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace, "These prejudices are deeply rooted, but we arc perhaps halfway to persuading people that the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually of benefit.()24. What will happen to the majority of the world's languages?A. They will become extinct in decades.B. They will be learnt by more academics.C. They will prevent the risk of dementia.D. They will help people better communicate.()25. Whafs Bilingualism Matters intended to do?A. Find a replacement for English.B. Teach businesses marketing skills.C. Promote minority langu
