GOOD FRIENDS 
Psychologists have long known that having a set of cherished companions is crucial to 
mental well-being. A recent study by Australian investigators concluded that our friends even help 
to (23) ______ our lives. The study concentrated (24) ______ the social environment, general 
health, and lifestyle of 1,477 persons older than 70 years. The participants were asked how much 
contact they had with friends, children, relatives and acquaintances. 
Researchers were surprised to learn that friendships increased life (25) ______ to a far 
greater extent than frequent contact with children and other relatives. This benefit held true even 
after these friends had moved away to another city and was independent of factors such as socio-
economic status, health, and way of life. According to scientists, the ability to have relationships 
with people to (26) ______ one is important has a positive effect on physical a...ght he will 
find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science are very 
difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this is 
not true. The mathematician finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an 
adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise. 
 The pleasure derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different 
types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of popularity is novel-reading. 
Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of 
escaping into a new world very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live 
a new life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure. 
 Next in order of popularity are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of 
places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested. Some of these books are as 
wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they are true. Such books give us 
knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in knowing details of lands we have not seen and of 
great men we have only heard of. 
 Reading is one of the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more 
fascinating than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and absorbed in 
his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery into the wonderland of books 
for recreation and refreshment.
