Close friends, think alike?
"What! You, too? I believed I was the only one. "Have you ever said something like this to someone?
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 our-selves." 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. 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 (动机), learning and memory.
"Seeing one's friends have similar behaviors will reinforce (强化) one's own values, opinions, and interests, "lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider. 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.

Are you a stressed-out student?
You can beat it with our FIVE-POINT ACTION PLAN！
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Some people are OK with three or four hours of sleep a night, but most people aren't. You should try to sleep eight hours a night. If you can't, then take a nap in the afternoon. Sleeping too long isn't good, either. Don't stay in bed all day.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Students often put on weight because they eat a lot of junk food and eat late at night. Bad idea! You should try to eat your evening meal early and have healthy snacks, like fruit. You should also try to drink at least eight cups of water a day. Finally, don't skip breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!
You don't have to eat a big breakfast, but you should eat something.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Sometimes you have to stop what you're doing. Take a break. Turn off the TV or computer, walk around the room, and breathe deeply. You should do this several times a day. And once a week, take a walk in a park or in the woods. Look at the trees and smell the flowers.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Walk as much as you can. Walking is the best way to stay in shape. Or get a bicycle, but remember that riding a bike can be dangerous. You should always wear a helmet and bright clothes. Never ride without them!
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Do you have a gym nearby? You should use it. You don't have to exercise every day, but you should do some aerobic activity three to five times a week. Thirty minutes a day is enough. Remember: you can review for a test and jog on a treadmill at the same time.
