1 / 17E- 2016-1-21 囧研究：为什么青春期的友谊总难以延续？Can you remember who your best friend was in seventh grade? If you are having difficulty, it could be because relationships at that age are often short-lived. Half dont last a year. The friendships that do last can be predicted based on demographic and behavioral similarities, according to new research from psychologist Brett Laursen of Florida Atlantic University.你还记得七年级时最好的朋友是谁吗？如果你想不起来，那可能是因为那个年纪的友谊通常都难以延续。半数的友谊都不会超过一年。佛罗里达大西洋大学的心理学家布雷特 劳尔森发布的一项新研究显示，长久维系的友谊可以通过人口学统计数据和行为相似性这两方面预知。 There is a lot of change during middle school, and that change makes it hard to maintain friendships, Laursen says. As kids move from one academic track to another, join or leave sports teams, or take up new extracurricular hobbies, the opportunities to interact with friends wax and wane. Middle school is also a time when growing personal autonomy first allows children the chance to pick their friends and investor not in those relationships.劳尔森称： 中学时期会有很多变化，而那些变化会使得人们难以维持一段友谊 。当孩子们从一个学习阶段步入另一个学习阶段，参加或离开体育队，或是有了新的课外的兴趣爱好，那么，和朋友在一起互动的机会就会此消彼长。中学也是孩子们自主能力逐渐增强的时期，孩子们有机会自己选择朋友，或是决定是否要在这些关系上进行 投资 。2 / 17E- 2016-1-21 Laursen tracked 573 seventh-grade two-person friendships until they ended or until 12th grade. A few important behavioral traits emerged as predictors of friendships that lasted more than a year: popularity, aggression and academic success. The more similar two friends were in these traits, the longer a relationship lasted. 劳尔森跟踪了 573 对七年级的友谊关系，到第十二个学年结束或是持续到第十二个学年。其发现了一些预示着友谊关系持续一年以上的重要的行为特征：知名度、上进心、和学业成绩。两个朋友在这些特征上越相似，友谊关系将维持地越长久。Friends of the opposite sex were least likely to last. Theyre completely doomed, Laursen says, in part because of pressure from other friends. Adolescents tend to sort themselves based on age, race and gender, so being friends with a member of the opposite sex limits the size of ones larger group of running buddies and taxes the relationship.异性朋友之间的关系维持下去的可能性最小。劳尔森称： 他们注定是要终结的 ，部分原因可能是来自于其他朋友的压力。青少年倾向于将朋友按年龄、种族和性别等因素予以分类，因此，和异性交朋友会限制自己扩大 同类好朋友 朋友圈，并且会给此种友谊造成负担这些笑点你能 get 么？据说英语好的都看懂了Word play is a literary technique and a form of wit in which the words that are used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement. Examples of word play include puns, phonetic mix-ups such as 3 / 17E- 2016-1-21 spoonerisms, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences.文字游戏是一种文学技法，也是一种幽默表达的形式，它将文字本身作为表达的主体，主要目的是制造特殊的效果或诙谐逗趣。文字游戏包括双关语，谐音词，首音误置，词性或词义含混，机智的修辞延宕，结构怪异的句子等形式。Word play is not only educational but its also hilarious! A mix-up of names and an entertaining way to use words, everyone will find something amongst these great word play jokes.文字游戏不仅具有教育意义，而且非常诙谐幽默。这些杂糅的名词和使用词语的趣味方式，它们组成的有趣的词语游戏会让每个人都有所收获。1.Thank you to all my fans.感谢我所有的粉丝。笑点解析： fan 既有 粉丝 的意思，又有 电扇 的意思。2.MEN to the left because WOMEN are always right.男士请往左行，因为女士总是往右行。笑点解析： right 既有 右边 的意思，又有 正确 的意思。所以后半句话亦可理解为 因为女士永远是正确的。3.Your brain has two parts:你的大脑有两个部分：left itll help you understand what you enjoy doing at work in the long-term, which will guide you as you pick future job opportunities.当你这样做时，多看看新工作好的一面。说不定除了不满意的那些，你对新工作的某些地方还是喜欢的。这些好的地方可以让你在这一工作岗位的短暂停留时间里有所欣慰，也可以帮你在寻找下一个职位时了解自己所爱，这样也更有机会找到心仪的工作。4.Keep that resume up-to-date.4.保持简历内容更新。Even if you love your job, its a good idea to do this. For an easier time tailoring your resume to future roles, you should also keep a copy of your CV without this latest gig on it. If you start looking for work the week after you take your new job, you wont want to include the role when you apply for new positions.即使你爱自己的工作，有所隐瞒也是可以的。再另投简历之前，这一份工作经历就不要写上去了；如果你是刚入职一周后就另谋高就，那么你可能更不想把最近的这份工8 / 17E- 2016-1-21 作经历写进去了。Job hopping might not be a big red flag to every employer these days, but a two-week-long tenure at your latest job will raise some questions you probably dont want to answer. Its hard to be positive and professional and honest about why youre jumping ship so soon.跳槽二字在今天的雇主眼中可能没那么刺眼了，不过一个只维持了两周的近期工作经历所招来的问题和麻烦估计是你想要避免的。在回答为什么槽儿跳得这么快时，想要做到积极专业又诚实哪是件容易事。5.Network, network, network.5.人脉，人脉，人脉（重要的事情说三遍）。At least 60 percent of all jobs are found by networking. Your next job could be one of them. Nows the time to look up those old colleagues, roommates, professors, and friends, and take them out to coffee or connect them on Linkdin. You never know who will be the person to send the perfect job opportunity your way.百分之六十的求职者能通过人脉找到工作，所以你的下一个工作也可能成为其中之一。是时候联系联系老同事，室友，教授和朋友，带他们喝个咖啡或是聊个领英了。谁都说不准人生路上带给自己完美机会的伯乐是谁。6.Dont be afraid to move backward. 6.不要害怕退步。If you moved on voluntarily, you can consider whether its possible to go back to your old job. Sometimes, the way forward is by going back. If you liked your old job, but thought it was time to move on, this new situation might make you rethink that. 如果你自愿辞职，那9 / 17E- 2016-1-21 么回到老岗位不失为一个选择。有些时候，我们完全可以以退为进。在你为了往上爬而离开自己所喜爱的岗位时，不满意的新工作能让你有机会想想要不要回到从前。7.When you move on, make this j
