UK top destination for study

For the first time, the UK has overtaken the US as the preferred overseas study destination for Chinese students, a report released Sunday showed.

In the survey for the annual Report on Chinese Students' Overseas Study, the UK was preferred by 42% of respondents, up by 1 percentage point from last year.

Study in the US was preferred by 37% of respondents, down by 6 percentage points. Australia and Canada, both at 16%, tied as the third most popular destinations for overseas study, followed by Japan, Germany and Singapore.

The report attributed the shift in students' preferences from the US to the UK to tense Sino-US(中美间的) relations in the past two years and the UK's advantages, such as the reopening of the Post Study Work Visa and quicker graduation requirements.

Mandarin Taught in Welsh Secondary Schools

Mandarin could be taught in Welsh secondary schools to raise Wales' international profile.

The Welsh Government wants to establish the country as a visitor destination for Chinese people as part of its new strategy to boost trade. It is also looking to have a "Wales in Germany" themed year in 2021, and have an increased presence in EU countries.

International relations minister Eluned Morgan said she wanted to sell Wales to the world. After Brexit, ministers want "to ensure that the European Union remains our strongest partner" as well as developing markets elsewhere. Its goal is a 5% increase in exports.

To make that happen, the Welsh Government has launched a new international strategy to focus on three areas —cyber-security, compound semi-conductors, and creative industries — chosen in part for their "resilience to Brexit" and because of their "global recognition as areas of excellence".

Sunshine Could Diminish Brain Power

Those tempted to set up office in the garden as temperatures soar should think twice or put a hat on. New study shows that sunshine could diminish brain power, making it harder to make the right judgments.

Working in hot temperatures is already known to cause hyperthermia – a rise in body temperature – which can cause physical exhaustion. But now scientists say prolonged exposure of the head to the sun also affects the brain's ability to function properly.

A study by university teams in Denmark and Greece said workers could be damaging their brains by working in hot, sunny conditions.

Eight healthy, active males aged between 27 and 41 took part in the research. The brain function test consisted of four different computer-based maths and logic tasks that relied on precise calculations. Four heat lamps were positioned to radiate either on the lower body or the back, side and top of their heads.

Professor Lars Nybo, of the department of nutrition, exercise and sports at the University of Copenhagen, said: "This study provides evidence that direct exposure to sunlight – especially to the head –impairs motor and cognitive performance."

The decline in motor and cognitive performance was observed at 38.5 degrees. Researchers said those exposed to sunlight for long periods should cover their heads. Dips in mental performance caused by sunshine could also mean drivers were more likely to make mistakes on the road.

Don’t Exercise With A Mask

The coronavirus began to affect sporting events as early as January 30, when the Chinese Football Association announced it was delaying the start of the football season. Two months later it was revealed that the Tokyo Olympic Games would be postponed until the summer of 2021 – the first postponement in modern Olympic history.

Sporting administrators are only now exploring ways to enable a return to training and competition at both professional and amateur levels. In the absence of a vaccine, though, there are several challenges. One of them is around breathing.

When playing sport, breathing is faster and harder than at rest, which increases the risk of passing the disease on. As a result, premier league football is considering introducing face masks. Others may follow suit.

Yet a mask makes it harder to inhale the quantity of air needed to perform at the highest levels. We know that wearing a surgical mask can increase the resistance to airflow. Exercise invariably leads to faster and harder breaths, so wearing a mask during exercise places a further strain on airflow.

When we do heavy exercise, our muscles produce lactic acid, which causes that burning sensation. It is then converted to carbon dioxide and exhaled. But what happens if the carbon dioxide is trapped by the mask? As you move from moderate to heavy exercise, you may be re-breathing carbon dioxide, which can reduce cognitive function and increase breathing rate.

There may also be less oxygen in the recycled air, which could imitate exercising at higher altitudes. So it is important we gain a better understanding of the limitations of heavy exercise with a face mask.

Mayer Became CEO of TikTok

Teenagers may not know the name Kevin Mayer, but he's about to play an outsize role in their lives.

The longtime veteran of the Walt Disney Company just became the CEO of TikTok(抖音). In doing so, Mayer will take the reins of an app whose bedazzling hold over Gen Z has made it one of the most influential, albeit controversial, platforms of the COVID-19 era.

Mayer has been with Disney since the early 1990s—minus a stint as the CEO of https://www.wendangku.net/doc/17840665.html,(花花公子) and other ventures—and he's helped shepherd along the acquisition of some of its most consequential brands, including Pixar(皮克斯), Marvel(漫威), and Lucasfilm(卢卡斯影业).

Mayer's departure from Disney may not be a surprise, but his move to TikTok is unexpected. The app, owned by China-based ByteDance, is at a crucial moment in its short history—seeing enormous growth during the pandemic lockdowns but facing increasing criticism over its data-collection practices, particularly as they relate to its young users. As it rises in influence, the company will surely face a growing drumbeat of intense media and regulatory scrutiny.

In contrast, Disney has never been more vulnerable, with the coronavirus pandemic having ravaged nearly all of its core business units, from the shuttering of theme parks and movie theaters to ongoing interruptions to its production schedules. Mayer, whatever else is motivating the move, is jumping ship at an opportune time.

According to The New York Times, Mayer will be replaced by Rebecca Campbell, a rising star at the company who most recently served as president of Disneyland.

Dogs Have Adolescence Too

Perhaps you've had to put up with a moody, uncooperative teenager. You may well have been one yourself. A new study suggests that dogs go through a similar phase of stubbornness and disobedience when they hit puberty at about eight months old.

Looking at the behaviour of a total of 378 canines, researchers found that the animals were more obedient and more responsive either side of that eight-month mark –but only when it came to their owners, not to less familiar trainers.

So not only do dogs appear to have a difficult adolescence just like we do, they also share the frustration that we often feel towards our parents or caregivers when we hit our teenage years. That has big implications for long-term canine care and sheltering.

"This is a very important time in a dog's life," says animal behaviour researcher Lucy Asher, from Newcastle University in the UK. "This is when dogs are often rehomed because they are no longer a cute little puppy and suddenly, their owners find they are more challenging and they can no longer control them or train them." "But as with human teenage children, owners need to be aware that their dog is going through a phase and it will pass."

In one experiment with 93 Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and their cross breeds, the pooches at eight months old were found to take longer and be more reluctant to respond to a 'sit' command given by their caregiver than they were when just five months old. The eight-month-olds didn't show the same obstinancy when the command was given by a stranger, though.

5G Ushering Self-driving Vehicles

Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming hazards, scientists claim.

The ultra-fast mobile internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.

Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles, including as a tool to help usher in the generation of self-driving vehicles.

Experts at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today.

They predict the number of road traffic accidents —which according to the World Health Organisation account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year — will drop drastically as a result.

Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said: 'To have a better idea of what the future will look like, think of having Tesla-like cars that not only use sensors to scan what's around them, they can also talk to each other and exchange safety-related information about their surroundings over an area that covers several square miles.

Early Arrival of Springtime Warmth,

Good or Bad?

Across much of the United States, a warming climate has advanced the arrival of spring. This year is no exception. In parts of the Southeast, spring has arrived weeks earlier than normal and may turn out to be the warmest spring on record.

Apple blossoms in March and an earlier start to picnic season may seem harmless and even welcome. But the early arrival of springtime warmth has many downsides for the natural world and for humans.

Rising temperatures in the springtime signal plants and animals to come alive. Across the United States and worldwide, climate change is steadily disrupting the arrival and interactions of leaf buds, cherry blossoms, insects and more.

Records managed by the USA National Phenology Network and other organizations prove that spring has accelerated over the long term. For example, the common yellow trout lily blooms nearly a week earlier in the Appalachian Mountain region than it did 100 years ago.

Blueberries in Massachusetts flower three to four weeks earlier than in the mid-1800s. And over a recent 12-year period, over half of 48 migratory bird species studied arrived at their breeding grounds up to nine days

earlier than previously.

Warmer spring temperatures have also led beetles, moths and butterflies to emerge earlier than in recent years. Similarly, hibernating species like frogs and bears emerge from hibernation earlier in warm springs.

All species don't respond to warming the same way. When species that depend on one another —such as pollinating insects and plants seeking pollination —don't respond similarly to changing conditions, populations suffer.

A Shadow-Effect Energy Generator

It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, but the newly revealed Shadow-Effect Energy Generator (SEG) is a real prototype device. The fascinating concept could help us to transform the way renewable energy is generated indoors.

The SEG uses the contrast between darkness and light to produce electricity. It's made up of a series of thin strips of gold film on a silicon wafer (硅片), placed on top of a flexible plastic base.

Whereas shadows are usually a problem for renewable solar energy production, here they're actually harnessed to keep on generating power. The technology — which is cheaper to produce than a typical solar cell, according to its developers —produces small amounts of power and could be used in mobile gadgets, for example.

"Shadows are omnipresent, and we often take them for granted," says materials scientist Tan Swee

Ching, from the National University of Singapore (NUS). "In conventional photovoltaic or optoelectronic applications where a steady source of light is used to power devices, the presence of shadows is undesirable, since it degrades the performance of devices.

"In this work, we capitalised on the illumination contrast caused by shadows as an indirect source of power. The contrast in illumination induces a voltage difference between the shadow and illuminated sections, resulting in an electric current. This novel concept of harvesting energy in the presence of shadows is unprecedented."

Four Things to Improve Immune System

There is an exception to the general rule that supplements won't really help prevent illness, and that's vitamin D (in moderate doses). Research has shown that the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off viruses —while it won't protect you from getting the virus if you're exposed, it could reduce the severity of the illness and help make recovery easier.

You can get vitamin D naturally through sunlight. It's also found in some foods, including fatty fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel, and in small amounts in beef liver, eggs, cheese, and mushrooms.

One of the most evidence-supported ways to stay healthy also happens to be free —getting enough sleep. That means 7-9 hours each night for most people, according to Harvard Health. While you're asleep, your body uses that time to do critical recovery and repair of essential

functions, including your immune system. Just one night of poor sleep can reduce your immune cells by as much as 70%, research shows.

Exercise can keep your body functioning well, since research shows that it reduces inflammation and supports infection-fighting cells. If you're working from home or staying out of the gym, there are plenty of ways to still get your sweat on —body movements like burpees, lunges, push-ups and more can give you a quick full-body workout with no equipment.

As an added bonus, endorphins (内啡肽) from exercise also reduce stress. Stress can also make a big difference for your immune system, particularly when there are alarming or uncertain events happening in the world around you. Yes, this means managing fears —good strategies include taking breaks from social media and relying on trustworthy media sources for information, both of which can help you avoid panic and misinformation.

How you choose to relax will vary from person to person, whether that's taking a walk outside, curling up with a favorite book, or taking time to meditate or practice yoga or another soothing habit each day.

"Sounds good my man, see ya soon, I'll tw" We don't know the rest. The message was interrupted by a crash. Heit died. While the young man was distracted, he drifted into oncoming traffic, according to the International Business Times. On my cycling trips around Beijing, I often think about the many tragic cases like Heit’s that I’ve read about in my home country over the years. I am astounded by the number of my fellow cyclists and also scooter riders who I see not only carrying on phone conversations but also only reading text on their phones. Their heads are down, eyes transfixed by a small luminous screen, oblivious to the world they’re rushing toward.Of course, the faster you’re going, the quicker a distraction can become a tragedy.。 Studies show that staring at a cellphone for 3 seconds while driving at 60 kilometers an hour is as dangerous as driving blind for 50 meters, according to Xie Caifeng, a fellow at the research office of Shunyi Court in Beijing, writing in a column published by China Daily last year.Xie wrote that official statistics showed that “the use of cellphones while driving was the top reason for traffic accidents leading to death in Zhengzhou, Henan province”. It is also illegal. According to the national traffic code, it is illegal to use hand-held phones while driving, and an offender can lose points on their license and receive a fine of up to 200 yuan ($29.75), Xie wrote.Penalties are one deterrent, but education and social pressure also are important. Two years ago, the Shanghai office of the media company Havas designed a campaign for the Global Road Safety Partnership using 350 smashed cell phones that had been in the hands of people who had died while texting in China, showing their last words.They were mounted on black slabs(板子)like gravestones(墓碑) as part of an installation for Road Safety Day in 2015, which was made into a film,?SMS Last Words.

考研英语阅读文章的几大组织结构 来源:文都图书 对于一篇英文文章来说,不管是英文说明文或是议论文,无论其看上去有多复杂,每篇文章都有其写作的目的性,为了达到写作的目的,考研英语阅读文章一般采用特定的写作方式,我们如果想读懂这篇文章,那么必须了解这篇文章的组织结构,我们一起来学习一下英人生中最幸福的就是身体健康 语阅读文章的几大组织结构吧。 一、层层递进型 全文论述从抽象到具体,从简单到复杂,文章开始是对有关主题的一般介绍,然后一步一步将主题具体化。这类文章的各段开始常出现表示递进关系的副词,如in addition to, furthermore, moreover 等,文章的主题一般可以通过综合各段首句得出。 二、一枝独秀型 全文围绕一个核心概念展开,文章围绕着这个概念、中心思想或者现象,从各个方面进行分析和解释说明,最后对文章进行总结,并再一次对该概念、中心思想进行阐述。 三、花开两朵型 文章开始提出两个核心概念,随后分段论述。把握这种文章的关键是注意这两个核心概念的定义,以及它们的区别和联系。这种结构分为两类,一种是两个概念是并列的,另一种是两个概念形成对比,对于后一种文章要注意两个概念之间的区别,以及作者对各自的态度。 四、现象--解释型 在现象--解释型的文章中,作者在文章开始给出一个现象,相当于提出一个问题,然后对现象进行解释或分析现象或问题产生的原因,存在的因数以及可能解决方案,作者可能提到几个不同的解决方案,但是之后作者自己认可的那种解决方案才是文章的重点和主题;在文

章最后对现象或问题进行总结说明并进一步强调作者支持的那种解决办法。 五、问题--解决方案型 在这类文章中,作者首先提出一个问题,然后针对这一问题给出解决方案。如果有多个解决方案,作者认可的才是主题。 除了文章结构外,对于报刊杂志体文章时文的一般特点也应有所了解,因为这种文章在考研阅读中占有极大比重。报刊杂志体文章的主要特点有: 1.引人入胜。通常以一个有趣或吸引人的故事或背景开始。 2.抛砖引玉。讲故事或交代背景的目的在于引出主题。所以,时文的主题常出现于首段的最后一句话或第二段的首句。 3.假装客观。作者开始不说出自己的观点,貌似客观地陈述各派观点,最后才表达自己的观点。在确定作者态度的时候,主要根据所举的例子进行判断。如果例子表现一种正面态度,说明作者对这一事物持正评价;反之持负评价。 总之,对于一篇完整的英文说明文或者议论文来说,不论其形式看上去有多么复杂多样,但是套用一句老话:"万变不离其宗"即文章都遵循了特定的篇章结构模式,在这些模式中采用频率最高的是"现象-解释型"型模式。这种模式的特点即提出问题(提出说明的事物或者现象)、分析问题(对事物或者现象进行说明)、解决问题(对说明的事物或者现象进行总结)。可见,如果我们熟悉了文章的篇章结构模式特点,对读懂文章和把握主题帮助极大,一般来说,我们阅读文章的目的是为了获取信息。文章体裁不同,其结构特点就会各异。因此,我们获取信息的最有效方法之一就是去学习和了解文章的结构,以便更加准确、快速地定位我们要找的信息。此外,英语的阅读能力不是一蹴而就的,需要我们日积月累的积累学习,我们每天要计划好阅读量,习题量,并且要持之以恒的坚持,如果同学们,手头没有合适的资料的话,可以看一下何凯文的2017《考研英语阅读同源外刊时文精析》,这本书与考研阅读真题是同源文章,相信对我们应对实
