朗读者：Hurdy 朗读文本： If your friends are happy, it turns out you’re more likely to be happy too. If your friends are overweight, you are likely to put on weight. These “friend effects”, the mutual effects among friends, have been shown in studies. And now researchers have found that you may also be influenced by your friends who do exercise often. The research shows that women tended to be influenced by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more. Even the behavior of one city’s runners could affect the behavior of runners in another city. If someone is influenced by and influences his social network in a strong way, he must take his social network into consideration when he changes his life style. In other words, if you want to insist on doing exercises, appeal to your friends and family to join you.

朗读者：Hongkun 朗读文本： Research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans. They try to calm humans down in this way. Dogs have gradually learned they could benefit from avoiding conflicts with humans. In a test, when dogs looked at photos of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to understand the facial expressions. And when looking at angry humans, they tended to turn away their eyes. Dogs may have learned to recognize threat signs from humans and respond by trying to make peace. Avoiding conflicts may have helped dogs develop better relationships with humans. Dogs in the study looked most at the eyes of humans and other dogs to sense their emotions. But the researchers also noted that dogs scanned faces as a whole to sense how people were feeling, instead of focusing on a specific feature.

朗读者：Zimo 朗读文本： Space is incredibly vast with countless mysteries. A trip to space sounds like an amazing adventure, but it can affect astronauts' health. Space is filled with various threats to humans. So astronauts' life in space can be both appealing and dangerous. In space, the lack of gravity can make astronauts lose muscle and bone, which potentially makes them weaker. To cope with this problem, astronauts follow a strict exercise routine in space to maintain muscle and bone strength, besides working. Space is filled with radiation from the sun and other sources. Astronauts' exposure to the radiation can increase their risk of cancer and other health issues. Apart from that, some astronauts experience vision problems due to changes in the fluids around their eyes. They are challenges astronauts face during their space missions.
