A

On a hot evening in September, the Highland High School team was pronouncing to win its first game of the season. “I was really excited,” said Highlanders linebacker Ryan Ferrini. “This was the game when it finally came

Highlanders had to do was go one yard for a touchdown to seize a dramatic come-from-behind victory.

On the previous play, after the Highlanders had driven the ball deep into the Tompkins' territory (防守区), quarterback Will Gentry had connected with receiver Austin Brauweiler at the three-yard line. As Brauweiler turned upfield, a Tompkins' defender delivered a hit, knocking them both to the ground at the one-yard line.

“There was a huge force, as if a truck had hit me,” said Brauweiler, who suffered from the collision (撞击). But it was the Tompkins' player who got the worst of it. He lay still on the ground and a doctor had been called. That's when the Tompkins' coach walked across the field and told Highlanders' coach Colschen that his players were too upset to finish the game and they would lose the game.

“In life, the well-being of others is what's important, not the scoreboard,” said Colschen. He gathered his Highlanders and told them it was time to support their grieving (悲伤的) competitors. They agreed.

After the injured player was airlifted to a hospital, the two teams took the field again. The Highland team's teammates took a knee and didn't start any action, only waiting for the game clock to strike zero. Game over.

“What my players did was amazing,” said Colschen. “I was surprised and encouraged that they were thinking not about themselves but about others.”

If your friends are happy, it turns out you're more likely to be happy too. If your friends are overweight, that too ups the chances you'll gain weight. Those effects have been shown in studies. And now researchers have identified another seemingly contagious quality: exercise. The researchers analyzed the running activity of more than a million people worldwide who used an exercise tracking device (装置) for five years. And they used weather patterns as a way to randomly examine different parts of that global network.

“Cities have different weather patterns,” Sinan Aral, a computational social scientist at MIT says. This experiment allowed them to ask: Does a rainy day in New York affect running in San Diego? If the weather in New York causes changes in the running behavior in San Diego, it can really only be happening through the influences of the friends who live between New York and San Diego.

And that is exactly what he and his colleague saw: that the behavior of one city's runners could indeed affect the behavior of runners in another socially connected city. Women tended to be influenced more by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more, but not so much the other way around.

Still, this could be valuable for health professionals. “We have to start thinking of consumers and citizens as

networked consumers and citizens. Where they are influenced by and influence their social network in very strong ways, that will change the way a particular intervention (干涉) succeeds or fails.”

In other words, if your prescription is more exercise, the doctors might want to write a prescription for your friends and family, too.
