Being “Cool”in Middle School

A new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or,

at least, they’ll 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, t

hat is not a cause for concern. Many “uncool” kids,

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

kids are less healthy when they grow up.

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 consider

ed

“

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,menus

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.

How to Perfect the Art of Public Speaking

If you want to become the type of speaker you’ve always wanted to be, read the following

suggestions:

①

You can’t go from a nervous speaker to a star speaker overnight. You shouldn’t expect to.

Give yourself time to get used to a large audience. Start with smaller groups and get as much

feedback as you can. Keep on practicing and developing your skill.

②

Be familiar with your spe

ech materials. That doesn’t mean memorizing your speech, which

can lack enthusiasm and naturalness. Know your key talking points,supporting details and ways to

move from one point to the next.

③

Positive energy can be passed. If you’re excited and enthusi

astic, your audience will be,

too. You’ll be surprised at the positive cycle that creates: An enthusiastic audience can add even

more energy to you. Use hand gestures. When appropriate, smile, smile, smile.

④

Find friendly, interested faces in the audience and speak to them. Look into their eyes. It

helps prevent you from staring off into the distance or reading from notes. It also helps make you

feel like you are talking in a conversation rather than speaking to a group.

⑤

When you look great,

you feel great. That makes you confident. Looking great doesn’t

mean wearing new clothes. It means wearing clothes and shoes you feel comfortable and

appropriate to the setting. You can’t go wrong with business suit. Simple is fine, but y

ou should

look clean from head to toe.
