Being
“
CooI
”
in Middle School

A new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up
to rule. Or, at least, they
’
II live healthier and more productive lives than
the
“
Cool
”
kids will.
The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having
”
cool
”
behavior,
such
as
early
romantic
relationships.
They
were
seen
as
“
cool
”
and
popular
kids.
But
as
they
grew
up,
things
changed.
The
study
found
that
these
kids
tended
to
have
problems
with
drugs
and
relationships
by
their
early
behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were
thought
to
be
less
socially
skilled
by
their
peers.
Besides,
the
average
“
cool
”

kids, by age 22,did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had
a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had
a
22
percent
greater
rate
of
criminal
behavior.
The
study
also
found
that
these
kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying
to
seem
cool.
They
didn
’
t
develop
the
skills
needed
for
meaningful
friendships.
The
study
followed
86
male
and
98
female
middle
school
students
for
a
10-year
period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that
the
so-called
“
cool
”
behavior
is
a
predictor
（预示）
of
future
problems
with
drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use
in
middle
school.
However,
one
conclusion
of
the
study
is
welcome.
Researchers
said
that
parents
shouldn
’
t
worry
too
much
if
their
kids
don
’
t
seem
that
popular.
If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading
instead
of
going
out
with
friends,
that
is
not
a
cause
for
concern.
Many
“
uncool
”

kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.

Cool
”
kids marry earlier than

uncool
”
kids.

’
t worry if their kids are

uncool
”
.

It
is
estimated
that
there
are
more
than
8
million
restaurants
in
the
world
today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only
existed
for
a
few
centuries.
Before
1765,
there
were
no
restaurants.
There
was
nowhere
:in
which
a
server
brought
you
food
and
drink
that
you
chose
from
a
menu
In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were places where travelers could eat centuries before that. The
countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were bars where
one
could
get
a
drink.
The
rich
could
also
eat
meals
supplied
by
private

there was nothing that could be called a
“
restaurant
”
.
A
Frenchman
changed
that.
In
1765,
he
opened
a
place
in
Paris
that
sold
soups.
On his sign, he used the ten
“
restaurants
”
to describe what he was selling.
Soups
were
considered
“
restorative
”
,
so
he
called
them
“
restaurants
”
.Finally,
people started buying his soups even when not ill. And as time went on,people
began
to
use
the
term
“
restaurant
”
to
refer
to
the
place
where
soup
was
sold
rather
than
the
soup
itself.
More
“
restaurants
”
opened
up
in
France,
and
people
began to buy soups more regularly.
Then, restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups. In the
1780s,enus
started
to
appear.
By
the
1800s,
there
were
many
types
of
restaurants,
and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire.
A slow start gave way to rapid growth. Cities and towns around the world
are filled with restaurants today. It is estimated that there are l.6 million
restaurants
in
Europe.
In
America,
there
are
nearly
a
half
million
restaurants.

Today, diners have millions of choices.
