Friendship #3-Dec 22
Picking one best friend is not always seen as the ideal model – in
some cultures, people choose to spend time with a wider group, made up of
family and peers, instead of just one other
person. In many small, rural societies around the world, children attend school
with their cousins, see them as their close friends, and don't differentiate
between friends and extended family, says
Evan Killick, an anthropology
lecturer. Killick has studied the social relationships of the Ashaninka society
in the Amazon rainforest. In this community, relationships with family members
generally trump friendships, says Killick. "In Western urban
societies, that idea of having a close friend is important because you don't
have those wider kinship networks."
Ashaninka children only start forming friendships outside their extended family
when they hit puberty and seek trading
relationships and marriage partners. In the beginning, they are transactional relationships, focused on pragmatic outcomes,
but they can evolve into strong
emotional bonds over time, says Killick.
A recent study explored the different ways in which Russians and Canadians regard friendship. It found that Russians view friendship as a more intimate bond, rooted in trust and closeness, compared to Canadians. "The Russian model is one of fewer friends, but very deep, intense relationships," says Marina Doucerain, an associate professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal. The Canadian model places greater emphasis on respecting people's independence and fewer expectations on close friends. "There's not the idea that you will be there for your friend in adversity, no matter what," says Doucerain.
There are striking linguistic differences in the way Russian and English speakers refer to friendship, according to Doucerain. Russians only use the term 'friend' (droog) for people they are very close to and refer to people they enjoy spending time with as 'pal' (druzhishe and koresh), she says. In English, on the other hand, the word 'friend' can describe "a wide range of relationships." There could be a historical explanation for these different attitudes to friendship, says Doucerain. "In the Soviet Union, it was extremely risky to have close relationships, even among families," she says. "The solution was to have a few individuals that you could trust entirely. This notion of trust is very central to Russian friendships."
Whether it's a playground friend, an Ashaninka-style close cousin, or a Russian-style droog, having a friend and ally in life can clearly make a huge difference. For some, that bond starts in childhood. For others, it may take more time. But as Denworth points out, it's worth persisting – because it's never too late to find a best friend.

How do children choose a best friend? #2 Health benefits
Helping children develop strong friendships can be a gift with lifelong benefits, including better mental and physical
health. Maintaining close friendships has a positive impact on cardiovascular and neuroendocrine
health, as well as the immune system,
research shows. According to a 2010 review of 148 studies, strong friendships
provide greater health benefits than quitting smoking, losing weight, or doing
exercise. Having a close group of friends and strong family ties reduces
people's mortality risk by 50%, the analysis shows. Being lonely or isolated has the same impact on someone's mortality as
smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to a survey of 20,000 Americans. The
Harvard Study of Adult Development, which started in 1938 during the Great
Depression and tracked more than 700 men throughout their lives, found that people's
satisfaction with their relationships during their 50s was a better predictor of their physical health later in life than their
cholesterol levels. These findings show the importance of treating friendship
as a "lifelong endeavor", says
Denworth. "It is never too late to make new friends, but it's a great idea
to start early."
While some studies define best friendship as involving only one
special friend, the findings generally suggest that
it is the quality and attitude of the relationship that is the beneficial
factor, rather than the number of friends involved. Such bonds can play
a vital role in helping children cope with challenges in their lives and
overcome adversity, research shows. Children who
have a best friend tend to experience less loneliness and depression and
greater self-worth. One study found
that having close, supportive friends can help children from low-income
backgrounds cope better with difficult circumstances. "Children with a higher
quality of best friendship demonstrated, in association with higher
psychological resilience, a better
ability to weather the storm of being in a low-income neighborhood," says
Graber, the study's lead author. "Their best friendships seemed to be associated
with having better coping skills and a better sense of being able to change
things about their lives," she says, adding that the findings for
friendships among boys and girls were similar. However, the "best
friend" title alone is no guarantee of a high-quality relationship. When a
best friendship involves excessively discussing problems, it can lead to
increased symptoms of depression and anxiety, according to a 2007 study.

Friendship 1.2-Dec 8
Making friends
Finding and keeping friends is a skill that can take some time to develop. From around the age of four, children develop an understanding that other people may have thoughts, interests, and feelings that are different to theirs. This emerging capacity, known as Theory of Mind, helps children make friends, says Eileen Kennedy-Moore, a clinical psychologist. "They become better at imagining someone else's perspective and this fuels more intimate friendships."
Children often have a *pragmatic view of friendship, forming close bonds with peers in the playground or classroom, says Kennedy-Moore. "It is a 'love the one you're with' approach." "The thing that kids have as an advantage over adults is that they are in the room with 25 others in their stage of life," she says. "In adulthood, it takes deliberate effort to find and cultivate friendships." According to one study, adults must spend around 50 hours together to go from mere acquaintances to casual friends, 90 hours together before they consider each other friends, and more than 200 hours to become close friends who share an emotional connection.
Psychologists say best friendships can help children prepare for close relationships, including romantic ones, as they grow up. "Best friendship is really like falling in love," says Kennedy-Moore. "Close friendships in childhood help kids practice the skills they need in intimate relationships throughout their lives. They learn about other people, and about themselves, to deal with feelings like loneliness, jealousy, and frustration."
If children don’t talk about friends at home, it doesn’t mean they don’t have any, she says, adding that this may be because they prefer a quieter style of interacting with others. Parents can support their children in forming friendships by organizing fun meet-ups outside of school. "Kids usually make friends by doing fun things together, so you may want to think about your child's interests and seek out activities that fit [their personality] and could be done with other children," says Kennedy-Moore. Parents can also teach their children how to join in with games and activities. "The formula is: watch then blend," she says. "Watch what the other child is doing, then slide into the action without interrupting."
(2) Restate the underlined quote in one sentence.
Children learn about themselves and others by having close friendships to develop skills to understand and interact with others.
Friendship 1.1-Dec 8
For many of us, the coronavirus pandemic revealed who our closest
friends are. Deprived of social
opportunities to interact with a wider group, we became more reliant than ever on
a small group of confidants. For children,
the situation was even more dramatic, especially for those too young to enjoy
Zoom calls. Many missed their social circle – especially their best friends.
These friends aren't just people we enjoy hanging out with, they are
the ones we trust completely. As children, we tend to treat them as members of
our extended family, to the point where
their homes may feel as familiar as our own. As adults, we know we can call
them at a moment's notice to share the highs and lows of our daily lives.
"With best friendship, there tends to be intimacy,
a feeling that the other person is there for you, that
*they have your back," says Rebecca Graber, a psychology
lecturer. "It's about perceived support rather than actually showing
up."
But are we programmed to have best friends? Research shows there are
strong evolutionary benefits that explain why we choose to form such close
social bonds with others. However, the precise nature of those bonds can vary
considerably – and understanding this diversity can offer much comfort and hope
to those yearning for a best friend, and
struggling to find one.

Japan's Under-employed Ex-housewives-Dec 1
Japan's huge army of under-employed ex-housewives
There are plenty of smart,
educated women in Japan who could be driving the country out of its current
economic slump to a stunning pandemic recovery. But the country's rigid hiring
system - and male-dominated leadership - remain a huge hurdle, blocking women
from the best-paid jobs. The country risks becoming a nation of bored
housewives with university degrees, warn critics. Japan's own deadline to
significantly increase the number of women in leadership roles by 2020, quietly
came and went at the end of last year without even getting close to its target.
Known as "Womenomics" and announced with great fanfare, Shinzo Abe's
policy to create a "Japan in which women can shine" has largely
failed. And not just because of Covid-19. Today, there is just one woman for
every 10 men in parliament, while fewer than 15% of senior private sector roles
are held by women - half the original 2020 goal.
Former prime minister Mr. Abe
still claims the policy was a success: there are now more women than ever
working. But what kind of work are these highly-educated women doing? Critics
believe his policy had little to do with creating social change - allowing
women to flourish at work - and more to do with an acute need for workers.
Japan's working-age population has been rapidly shrinking since the 1990s. For
decades, about 60% of women quit paid work after their first child. A mother
looking after her kids full time - because her husband's income could support
the entire family - was traditionally seen as a privilege. But as the
Womenomics policy was brought in, mothers were already starting to return to
work as their family incomes dwindled. Just 42.1% quit in 2019, pushing up labor
market participation rates to 70.9% for women aged 15-64, rising to 77.7% in
the 25-44 age category, government figures show. To support this shift the
government launched campaigns to eliminate childcare waiting lists. It also
pressured large companies to have at least one female executive. But there were
no financial incentives or penalties for failing to take action. Consequently, many women are stuck in part-time or dead-end roles. On average, a Japanese
woman's income is over 40% lower than that of a man, says the World Economic
Forum.
Returning
to work
More than half of Japanese women
join the workforce with a university degree, almost the same number as men. But
once you leave a full-time job, it is nearly impossible to return to your
original career after a period of leave. "If you want to go back to work,
you'll have to look for a job at a supermarket - somewhere a student would get
a part-time job," says Yumiko Suzuki who works as a career consultant. Fifteen
years ago, Ms Suzuki also chose to ditch paid work and become a housewife - a
decision she didn't take lightly. Her story is fairly typical. After
university, she worked just as hard as her male colleagues - which meant
overtime, often missing the last train home, just to prove herself. But when
she met her husband, who worked at the same company, they realized that to have
a family one of them would have to give up their career. These days more
working mothers are given an option to work shorter or flexible hours,
something not available when she left in 2006. "Both of us were working
around the clock. We knew we couldn't start a family that way," she adds. But
after seven years as a stay-at-home mother raising two children, Ms Suzuki
tried to re-join the workforce. It was a shock when she realized her time at
home was seen as "a blank" on her *CV. She couldn't even get an
interview. In the end, she had to gain three professional certificates before
finally being offered a full-time job at a start-up. She now helps other women
restart their careers.

Why America won't go metric
Meter and centimeter, and kilogram and gram are base units of the Metric system, which is used in almost all the countries in the world now. One meter was originally defined to be one ten-millionth of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator through Paris in the 1790s.
Meter and centimeter, and kilogram and gram are base units of the Metric system, which is used in almost all the countries in the world now. One meter was originally defined to be one ten-millionth of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator through Paris in the 1790s.
The imperial system was developed from earlier English
units. The inch, foot, yard, and mile for length, the ounce, pint, gallon for
volume, and the pound for weight are typical examples.
The UK and Canada officially
use the metric system but also use the imperial system. There is another
country, whose economy is the largest in the world, that still uses the
imperial system as its customary system. The US. If you visit America, you’ll
find it inconvenient to convert the unit for distance, length, speed, weight,
size, space, and even temperature to your accustomed measurement.

why the US chose to use the imperial system and why it still uses it

Reference: US independence: 1776 French Revolution: 1789-99 Britain-France War: 1793-1815
When Britain and France were at war in the 1790s, the
US chose to side with Britain because it didn’t want to get influenced by
the French Revolution and keep the Imperial system.
Even though the
Metric system was declared the preferred system by law in 1975, it
was just voluntary and people, societies, and businesses weren’t encouraged
to use the unfamiliar measurements.
A poll in 2016 showed that less than
a third of Americans wanted to convert to the Metric system.
Also, the USA
consists of 50 independently governed states and is big enough to
sustain its preferred system.
There is not enough motivation or pressure
to change the measurement system from the one they’ve used since the
foundation. (5 sentences in 120 words)

Write a Summary-Nov 21
Identify the topic for each section.
A medical experiment was conducted on
40 healthy young volunteers in Minnesota in 1944 to learn the physical and
mental effects of starvation.
The experiment took nearly a year with three
distinct periods, well-fed, hungry, and recovery.
In the first period, the volunteers were well-fed and they were full of energy and motivation to do
various activities.
During the starvation period, they were provided only half the required calories and became
irritated, frustrated, and demotivated to do any activity.
The recovery period was the hardest
