Peer pressure can be a powerful force, and sometimes a positive one. For example, hanging out with active peers may lead kids to        more, making a child’s social network a vehicle for promoting healthy habits and        obesity unconsciously.

         The scientists studied networks of a group of students aged 5 to 12 and       how the youngsters’ made and dropped friends, and        effect these changing relationships had on their physical activity level.

In fact, children        their exercise level little by little to better      those in their circle; children who     with more active students were more       to increase their physical activity levels,        those who befriended more sedentary(久坐不动的) children became        active. The children were mirroring, following or adjusting to be        to their friends before they knew it.

The encouraging        suggest a potentially effective way to change children’s behavior.        relying only on organized exercise programs to get moving, perhaps introducing sedentary kids to more active ones — might help more kids        the couch.

It’s believed that this is a possible novel approach to obesity       . The social environment does carry more power than we have given it        for, so we should make use of that intentionally to influence kids.

      that children are increasingly connected to one another,        through face-to-face interactions or virtual ones, their        networks can clearly have a deep effect       many aspects of their behavior-help kids in the long run by turning them into healthier adults.

Roy died at an old age with many memories. His life was full of both good and bad memories, but he  26  to remember mostly the good. The bad memories that broke his heart and that he  27 with friends, involved the big war－World War II. So many things about his war experience he remembered  28 great detail.

Roy survived the attack on Normandy－he was part of the second wave that landed. He 29 with him the memories of water mixed with the blood of fallen soldiers. He experienced 30 , sweat, blood, fire and salt water just to get to the beach. In terror-filled moments that would forever change his life and the history of our world, his life was robbed of innocence（天真）  31  the realities of war engulfed（吞噬）him.

Not too many months later, he found himself cold and  32 . Close to being completely 33 from air supplies（供给）because of the weather, Roy and his fellows hung on to what little hope they could have. Then Christmas morning came, the weather cleared long enough for supplies to be  34 and word to spread that other troops would soon be there.

Many of the young men who began with Roy did not make it home  35 . They gave their lives to fighting against the Nazi. Those who did survive would never be the same. Many of them were the most patriotic（爱国的）people you would  36 meet, but most of them  37 war. They had experienced it. They knew its final realities－things got blown up while people were killed, and robbed of their beloved ones.

It is Memorial Day in the United States today. We all pray for an end for the world’s need for young men and young women to be placed in harm’s way. We also need to remember those who paid the huge  38 of wars－costs not counted in dollars, but in lost lives, broken hearts, forgotten innocence, broken families, and terrible memories. And as we remember to  39 those who paid this awful price, we also remember in hopes to see an end to war itself.

Please, in their honor, don’t forget their sacrifices（牺牲）. Please, for our world’s sake, don’t forget to pray for  40 .
