【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ty and depressive symptoms by early adulthood, the authors, led by Rachel K, Narr, a postdoctoral student focused on clinical psychology at the University of Virginia, wrote. A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. My hunch(預(yù)感)was that close friendships pared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way, Narr told Quartz. Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other. Many study participants did not continue to have a close relationship with their highschool best friend, leading the researchers to wonder what exactly was responsible for the mental health benefits. They suspected that the skills and ability to build such a friendship may be more important than the friendship itself. And as the researchers point out, those skills are not necessarily brought to bear in the world of social media. As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority, study coauthor Joseph Allen said in a statement.（1）What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship?

Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this changed. All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels? With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change I39。d ever made on my own. I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels. I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try! My confidence soared. This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My acplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to something, I could achieve it.（1）What does the school expect the students to do on Bike Safety Day?
