Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy, but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable, researchers say. Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied always have lots of close friends
and regularly
with their lives

whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy, the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist Richard Tunney said,

Dr.Tunney, of Nottingham University, quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with

friendships.
Those with five
friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy. In other words they were more likely were more likely of friends, 票).
For women, this meant having 33 friends;for men, the number was 49. Dr.Tunney said,“People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.

number at which people

Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.
Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology (
神经病学) at Columbia University
in new York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity.
His study involved 37 volunteers
aged between
50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans
or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.
The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules(囊). The study subjects will
be divided into two groups and will
take two pills
胶per
day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group's capsules will flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo.
Dr. Manson says it's not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate,
contain
because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones
given to the rest subjects. He adds
many manufacturers have
planned to
remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones
extract(
提取)may be developed in the future.
But he says that
more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.
28.What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small's study? A.They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.B.They were given capsules containing flavones.
C.They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day. D.They were given brain imaging and memory tests.

29.What's the similarity of the two experiments? A.Both use high-level flavones capsules.
B.The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments. C.Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments. D.The number of the subjects is the same.
30.Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?A.To prove the first experiment is wrong.
B.To test how much flavones can improve our memory. C.To carry out the experiment further.
D.To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory. 31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate. B.The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be. C.It's not necessary for us to eat chocolate.
D.It's easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.
