Do you need to‘ edit your friends’?

Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don’t really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should，not

because you want to? If you answered yes to at least two of these questions，then perhaps you need to‘edit your friends’．

Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at sch001．The result is that we don’t have enough time to see our real，close friends．As our lives get busier it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see，people we love and who really love us

Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions(物品)．It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have：Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I

look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions，you should throw it away．Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends．

What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it’s an old friend．Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with，but who，when you meet now，you have very little or nothing to say to．Or it might be a new friend who

you get on quite well with，but who is taking up too much of your time．Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting，think，Do I really want to see this person?’and if the answer is no，say no，and make an excuse．That way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends．

Humans have always dreamed offinding a way

to leave traffic jams(交通堵塞)

behind．Well，dream no longer．Theflying car

and pod car(豆荚车)can helpcut down on

traffic jams．

The world’s“first flying car”，called the Terrafugia Transition，has made its first flight in the skies of the US．Itcan fly 640 km through the air without adding more gas，the car maker，TerrafugiaInc，says．

As a light airplane，it is not easy for the Terrafugia Transition to fly in poor weather．However，it has the advantage of being able to continue the journey by road if conditions take a turn for the worse．
