Roberto Novo has styled the hair of a lot of stars. But during COVID-19, he’s turned his
gifts to the heads of lesser-known, older New Yorkers- and he’s done it for free.
The Argentina-born stylist welcomes them to his Manhattan apartment or visits them in
their homes. His two dogs keep everyone company. He calls his project “Free haircut and
puppy love.”
It started last summer when he and his dogs visited a client who had been isolated (隔离)
for months due to COVID-19. Seeing how happy it made her, he asked if she had friends in
her apartment building who might be interested in a free hairdo.
“It doesn’t get any better than that — bring some joy to senior citizens in these hard
times,” Novo said. “People are really suffering in this situation right now. So if I can help
them with a simple haircut, that’s a gift.”
On a recent day, Novo and his dogs walked into Madelon Spier’s apartment and quickly
turned the living room into a salon (美发厅). Sitting in a black chair, Spier waited to get her
hair styled. “I think he’s an amazing artist. And we’re all pictures that he’s painting,” Spier
said. “There’s his personality (特色), and his way of cutting — a way of looking at a person
and knowing what’s right for them,” said Spier.
Neighbor Andrew Langerman said Novo also gave him his first haircut in months. “I’ve
just been so lonely during COVID-19,” he said, and now, “I feel a lot better. I wasn’t really
feeling very well when I came here but then I felt great just being with everybody. And I had
a good haircut.”
As Novo finished a cut, he ordered pizzas that the group later shared. They talked and
laughed.
“I always tell people if I die and I’m born again, I’ll do everything exactly the same
way,” said Novo.

The key to a happy life has nothing to do with getting ahead at work, making money, or
traveling the world. Instead, living your best life and creating meaning is all about one thing:
relationships.
A study of adult development has been running at Harvard since 1938, and is now on its
second generation of participants—the children of the original study’s subjects. Over decades,
the research team collected data about their lives, including their physical and mental health,
marital (婚姻的) status and quality, career happiness, etc.
They found the most important aspect in how happy and healthy these men were over
time was their relationships. In other words: Finding happiness in life is all about the people
you love.
The research doesn’t only include romantic relationships and marriage. Quality, close
relationships are important whether they are in the situation of romantic relationships or
closeness between friends or family members. The kind of relationship you have is less
important than how close you feel with them.
However, the study only included men, and important gender differences exist in how
people experience relationships. Some research suggests that men may benefit more from
marriage. But they tend to have a harder time keeping friendships; as men get older, they will
more likely say they have nobody to discuss important subjects with. So it’s possible that
having close relationships throughout their lives might affect men differently than women.
The findings line up with the effects of loneliness. People who are socially isolated have
a greater likelihood of strokes (中风), heart attacks, and higher blood pressure, not to mention
mental health issues.
Unfortunately for the youngest generations, recent surveys found that young Americans
are lonelier than older generations. That will likely have a big impact on how healthy and
happy people feel throughout their lives.

A．Travel far and wide to learn a lot. B．Keep an open mind to be creative.

7．Why is the youngest generation unfortunate?
A．Because they have nobody to talk to. B．Because they are more socially isolated.
C．Because they can’t keep their relationships. D．Because they suffer physically and
