"Choose your friends wisely" may not only be good parental advice but also a way to do better in college，a research study finds.Researchers prove that students who befriend studious （好學(xué)的）peers spend more hours studying themselves and post higher grades during their freshman （大學(xué)一年級(jí)新生）year.
It's important to clarify that having smart friends isn't as important as having studious friends in this study.The researchers didn't find that friends9 grades mattered.What influenced a student's college grades were his or her friends9 high school study habits.To be sure，students with higher grades tend to have better study habits.
They also found that，for every additional 10 hours a week that a student's friends had spent studying in high school，on average，the student's own study time in college would likely increase by almost 25 minutes a day，and the student's own GPA （Grade Point Average） would likely rise by almost a tenth of a point during freshman year.Almost identical results are among freshman roommates randomly assigned by the college，which confirms that peers are actually influencing study habits and echoing the friendship analysis.The researchers controlled for gender，race and prior academic achievement and found that the positive influence of studious peers was similar for both high achieving and low achieving students.
The difference between a B and B+ average is 0.3 points，so studious friends are only nudging grades up a bit.That means peers are just one of many factors influencing how well students do in college.So should we encourage parents to pick their kids' friends in college？ " This is one outcome-GPA.There are other things in life." said Mehta who admits to selecting studious friends when he was in college.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
