A wallet misplaced during a romantic embrace has been returned to its forgetful owner after 55 years．
Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage(旧式的)car they were planning to restore．After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner，Glenn Goodlove．Mr．Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car when he was home on leave from the US Navy．
Jon Beck，61，and Chuck Merrill，72，bought the now-vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration．Driving the car home after buying it，the collectors stopped at a restaurant and saw something from below the back seat．
“Like a couple of kids，we thought we had a goldmine，”Mr．Beck said．Instead，they found some small change--the leather wallet held a$10 bill，Mr．Goodlove’s military ID， his social security card，his driver's license and several jewellery receipts from 1952．But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam．
After searching online，Mr．Beck discovered that Mr．Putnam had changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego，California．He called Mr．Goodlove，asking to speak to a man who used to drive a’46 Hudson．
“There was a silence for about 15 seconds，”Mr．Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News．“Then he said，‘Who is that?”Mr．Goodlove，now 75，says he did not even remember losing the wallet，but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett，Washington，flooding back．“I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there”’he said．“They’ve been flowing ever since he talked to me．”

Leon, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn't -stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a prosthesis(假肢），using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close."It was a do-it-yourself, father and son adventure," says raw.
When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. "The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with," says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.
One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3Dprinter. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer一which costs around $2,000- and some materials.
Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard（护胫），cardboard, and tape. They cost about＄10," says Paul.
With his new hand, Leon can do things better. "I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,”he says.

My father and I started our morning by moving quickly into the local store. I waited in the line a the Starbucks counter while he shopped around to pick up a few things.
As I was starting there I become aware of an elderly women, with untidy hair,wearing layers upon layers of old clothing, hunchbacked(弯背的) behind me in line. She had a few things for washing and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to ring up since that queue was shorter than the queues in the store.
At some point I became aware of her edging (慢慢挪动) closer behind me — closer than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地) placed a hand over my purse and drew it close to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild stories about this homeless woman who might try to steal from me.
Then it was my turn to order. As the cashier rang Ypsilanti my total, I discovered I was 67 cents short. I called my father but he was hard of hearing. He asked me to repeat what I said but he still couldn’t make me out. At that point, a long, grey arm, with holes in its sleeves, reached over from behind me. She laid 67 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, we all need some help sometimes. "
I was stunned! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to give and was i n great need herself. I had judged her wrongly and she had offered to reach out to help me!

Many people turn to doctors or self-help books, but they forget a great thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the danger for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties(关系) could improve brain health as we age.
"In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well realized, " said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. "Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships. "
While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart disease. Only smoking was as important a danger factor (因素) as having little social support.
The exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isn’t clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect."People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to, " said Karen, a doctor. "The message of these studies is that friends make your life better. "The three studies in paragraph 2 show that _____.
| A．old people need friends the most |
| B．friends can help us lose weight |
| C．social ties have something to do with health |
| D．having more friends makes us healthier |
What do Rebecca’s words in paragraph3 mean?
| A．Friendship is more important to women than to men. |
| B．What people need most is a friend’s care. |
| C．Friendship is more important than family relationship |
| D．The value of friendship hasn’t been fully understood. |

| A．the cause of heart attack |
| B．the danger of having no friends |
| C．smoking is bad for men |
| D．Friends’ influence on habits |
Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word "obesity "?
