make it difficult for you to get out and about to meet new people？ Maybe you or your friends have moved to a new area and this has left you feeling lonely。

Even if you are already the proverbial social butterfly, you may still find that your existing friends do not share the same interests and feelings. You may have a satisfying social life, but you still find you have no one to travel with. You may have your circle of friends， but find that none of them will join you in the activities or sports that interest you most。 These are just a few of the reasons why millions of people search online to find new friends。

Matchmaking websites are good tools to make friends online. Profile matching technologies enable you to search for new friends by age， gender， location, interests and much more。 You can make friends near you or anywhere in the world and learn about new countries， cultures and lifestyles。

Making friends online is easy and anonymous （匿名的） as members get to know you by your username only。 You can get in touch with members by sending private messages， joining in discussion forums, or sharing online chat。

After

putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open ，apparently looking for predators.

“The more the ducks felt threatened ，the more they slept with one eye open,\" said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg ,a graduate student at Indiana State University ,Terre Haute .”the unique aspect is not that they do it ，but that they control it 。 When they sleep at the edge of a

group ，they tend to realize greater danger ,so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators ,said the authors of the study ,which appears today in the journal Nature.

The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes ,which were arranged in a row .Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31。8 per cent of the time, compared to 12。4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position。
