     What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough.
A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school,
the more money you'll earn later.
    The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much
of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily
as powerful as talent and hard work.
     "If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds
of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with
the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but
lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed," said Xu.She believed that all this helps you "earn a
higher salary".
     Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂癥).
A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her
large reserve of social contacts.
     But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?
     "Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom
I enjoy actually seeing.It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定義) of 'friend'," said Meghan
Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人稱的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁癥), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (懲罰 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (擺動(dòng)) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
