9 . How to handle changes in your friendship group?
Friends are important. From time to time, however, the balance in friendships can change. One of the biggest reasons is that someone new joins the group.
Changes in friendship groups can be unsettling, especially if everything had been going well beforehand. You might be concerned things feel awkward or different, or that you might become jealous if a new person joins your circle.
If your best friends seem to stop being interested in you and appear to be investing all their time in a new friend, take time to think about the situation before rushing to confront（对峙）them.
Friends are amazing and can carry you through good and bad times, but you’re not defined by others, and you deserve people who want to be in your life. Everyone changes, and there might come a time when friends no longer wish to spend time with you.
| A．Help your friends be open-minded. |
| B．Imagine how you’d feel if you were left alone. |
| C．This doesn’t mean giving up on your best friends. |
| D．Even if you can’t change their minds, you can keep your dignity. |
| E．Remind yourself that friendships develop throughout life - it’s natural. |
| F．You might dislike the change, wishing things had stayed as they were. |
| G．Ask yourself if they’re really ignoring you or just widening their circle? |
10 . Since the mid-1990s, tourists have paid storm-chasers to take them to places in the American Great Plains where they expect to see tornadoes (龙卷风), whose winds may top 250 miles an hour and can clear a pathway a mile wide and 50 miles long. Why, a reasonable follow-up question might go, would anyone want to get so close to something so disruptive? These tourists, a study found, characterized their relationship to severe weather as a “passion”, describing their feelings about tornadoes using words like “enjoyment”, “fascination” and “love”. But the main motivator seemed to be simple: Twisters are cool.
America has many more tornadoes than any other country, and its people have long regarded twisters with a mix of fear, awe and thrilled pleasure. Fast-moving and dramatic, tornadoes have been irresistible parts for popular entertainment. One needn’t be an extreme-weather enthusiast, however, to take a brief and far-less dangerous tour: of culture tornadoes have inspired and of the transformation of American society’s feelings about these storms from fear to excitement.
European colonists (殖民者) in the future United States were fascinated - and sometimes horrified - by their new land’s weather. In the Early Republic, some people began to write about tornadoes in terms of awe, and to produce art that explored the phenomenon’s natural beauty. Since the 1930s, American tornadoes have been less deadly: the country has much better early-warning systems, fewer people live in rural areas and tornado activity has largely shifted from the southeast to the thinly-populated Great Plains.
Storm-chasing-a scientific, thrill-seeking activity that most Americans found out about via the 1996 film Twister, is still incomprehensible to many who don’t practice it. “I find it difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t chased what forces us to seek pleasure from risk,” wrote Jennifer Henderson, a crazy storm-chaser, characterizing her feelings while chasing as “a sense of exposure and revelation (揭露) tightly coupled”.
