題目原文
Lightning strikes kill millions of trees each year — but it turns out that some large tropical(熱帶的)trees can not only stay alive after they're hit by a strike, but also benefit from its effects, according to a recent study.
Some trees are getting repeatedly hit by lightning over their lifetime. But why can they survive? Researchers don't know for sure. However, they think that trees will be heated less if they're more conductive. That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them. The lightning's strong power kills the parasitic vines(寄生藤蔓)on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby, reducing competition.
Dipteryx oleifera, a tree in Panama's forests, has probably experienced 10 lightning strikes so far. It stays safe and sound, while most of the neighboring trees were killed. If you are in the forest where it is, you'll know what it is — its huge size and height. "We believe the trees in Panama's forests have five strikes on average. But, you know, some of them obviously have a ton," Evan Gora, a forest ecologist said.
How long do these trees live in the forests? People can't do tree ring dating in tropical forests because the trees don't make continuous growth rings. Researchers guess many of the trees would be hundreds, or maybe even more than 1,000 years old.
What can we learn from the study? The hardest things can turn into good things, can they?

題目原文
Close friends, think alike?
"What! You, too? I believed I was the only one." Have you ever said something like this to someone? 1
It seems that similarity often helps form friendship. The Greek thinker Aristotle once said, "People regard friendship as a matter of similarity; they say that we love those who are like ourselves." 2 Scientists from University of California said friends have similar behaviors, Scientific American reported.
The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in a test. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. 3 According to their scans, friends who watched the same video reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation(動機), learning and memory. 4
"Seeing one's friends have similar behaviors will reinforce(強化) one's own values, opinions, and interests," lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider. 5 Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. The scientists did a test with first-year college students the first time they met in class. In this test, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.
