Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status. But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority? 

An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.

The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive.

Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the more status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the more status he had.

As the U. K. and nations across the world mourn (哀悼) the death of Queen Elizabeth II, several aspects of the queen's 70-year reign have been resurfacing over the past few days. From her personal life to her colonial legacy to her beloved dog — many are attracted by the life of the monarch (君主) . According to some experts, part of people's attention towards the Royal Family not only comes from their respect for the queen but also from the trend of celebrity worshipping (名人崇拜) .

The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary, as opposed to the banality (平庸) of one's own life, Cheryl Thompson, an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Global News.

Thompson said the fairytaleish aspect of the British Royal Family is what attracts people, adding that many are attracted by their luxury weddings, seemingly perfect lives and the media attention that follows. "People have grown up hearing about fairy tales with princes and kings and queens," she said. "So, you would imagine the castle has to be amazing compared to the two-bedroom apartment that you live in with your family … that whole idea of having servants upstairs, the luxuriousness of the dinner table — just brings all of that back into people's imagination."

Cele Otnes, head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois, said the Royal Family is "a complex brand" that is different from what one would normally associate with celebrities.

"They are a global brand that people love all over the world", explained Otnes.

"They're luxury", she said. People far and wide are "very interested in the drama and the tension that happens in the Royal Family."

"I think another one of the reasons the queen was so popular is that although everyone knew she was extremely wealthy, she didn't show off her wealth."

It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. 

I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.

What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! 

I quickly searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened. "I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him," he explained uncomfortably. "I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide."

I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. 

David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that's all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

Midwives bring new life into the world, and these midwifery students at London's Middlesex University (learn) a new way to do this now. Sarah Chitongo is the educator in this high-tech classroom. Her students use goggles (equip) with augmented reality or AR, so trainee midwives can experience simulated birth. AR is a digital overlay atop something real. It actually allows you (engage) in that type of learning which is more visual than paper-based one.

The training helps prepare students for all the potential risks they might face during childbirth, including (handle) a situation that is very complex. Educators say students' exposure AR makes them more comfortable using it in the classroom. It's about giving the students the ability to engage with tools and things they have been used to and accustomed to, within a serious learning space, so that they get a better (understand) of it. Chitongo says it took her nearly a decade of midwifing before she (see) a breech delivery. She says with AR technology in the classroom, students can better manage happens in the real world and possibly even save a life.

Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. If not for my teacher Mr Bricker, I might never have found that 1 .

In the first and second grade, I was extremely 2 . It just wasn't in my personality to be very outgoing. I would escape into my writing. Mr Bricker always 3 me to write more. I think he was the first person to see my inner 4 .

One day, he announced our class was going to 5 a play. "I need someone to play the lead part of Dorothy." A few 6 students raised their hands at once. I, of course, was not one of them. After school, Mr Bricker said to me, "Dallas, I was 7 you didn't raise your hands." Me, the lead? I was 8 just thinking of standing on stage in front of a lot of people.

"You're great at 9 things, so you won't worry about lines. And you have such a sweet personality. Perfect for Dorothy! I had you in 10 for Dorothy while writing the play!"

I realized it was time to 11  my shyness. After five months of 12 , we finally made the play a success. At the end of the play, when the audience stood and applauded, I knew they were 13  not just for my performance that night, but for the 14  that they knew would come in later years because of my new-found 15 .

Why Walking in Nature Makes You a Better Worker?

We're busy at work, distracted (注意力分散的) by technology and often live in urban environments far from wild spaces.. The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors. But what happens if we maketime for an hour outside each day?

. You'll have to go out for a walk, which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a screen. Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm, and a quick break in natural light will deliver a shot of vitamin D.

There are also a lot of mental benefits when you are in nature-you are happy and your brain can make sense of life. "When people are all out in nature, even in urban nature, people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors.," said Lisa Nisbet, associate professor at Canada's Trent University.

The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining grounds since the 1980s.. Afterwards, shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept, which is the practice of taking a short, leisurely visit to a forest for health benefits, followed that. Researchers of shinrin yoku have since found plenty of physical and mental benefits, while global studies suggest spending time in nature can, for example, restore our ability to focus, increase our creativity, and even help us live longer.

Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access toforests or the wilderess.. Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects.

A. We also don't get out much

B. But it doesn't have to be a forest

C. People can get to a forest for a hike

D. In other words, people are happier in nature

E. There are some obvious benefits when being outside

F. Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets

G. First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to be connected with nature

Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading. Reading on a screen tires your eyes and makes it harder for you to keep your place. Online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than print. The cognitive neuroscientist Mary Walt argued recently that this "new norm" of skim reading is producing "an invisible, game -changing transformation" in how readers process words. The neuronal circuit that sustains the brain's capacity to read now favors the rapid absorption of information.

We shouldn't overplay this danger. All readers skim. From about the age of nine, our eyes start to bounce around the page, reading only about a quarter of the words properly, and filling in the gaps by inference. Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans. So far, the anxieties have proved to be false alarms. "Quite a few critics have been worried about attention spans lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline," the American author Selvin Brown wrote. "No one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans."

And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. For a start, it means that there is more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing is meant for rapid release and response. This mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun. But often it treats other people's words as something to be quickly harvested as fodder (素材) to say something else. Everyone talks over the top of everyone else, desperate to be heard.

Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a social good and source of personal achievement. But this advocacy often emphasizes "enthusiastic" "passionate" or "eager" reading, none of which adjectives suggest slow, quiet absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in the words and their slow comprehension of a line of thought.

The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy. We often assume that technological change can't be stopped and happens in one direction, so that older media like "dead-tree" books are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle has not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy slowly. formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.

On Dec 9, 2021, astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu held their first open class aboard the Tianhe core module of the Chinese space station for pupils. 

In the 50-minute online class, the three astronauts explained daily life in space, how to walk in a microgravity environment and showed the children how to recycle water, oxygen and carbon dioxide in their environment. Applause broke out among the 1,420-strong audience at the CSTM when one of the three astronauts poured out water, which formed into a perfect ball. Applause broke out again when they put an effervescent tablet (泡腾片) into the water, which sparked into bubbles (气泡). But the bubbles did not burst and instead stayed complete. 

The open science lesson was broadcast live to the nation. On domestic video-sharing website Bilibili alone, the open course was watched at least 6 million times, with more views on other platforms and TV channels. 

For Shi Hao, a space specialist at China Acrospace Science and Technology Corporation, the growing desire of school pupils to pursue knowledge about space reflects the growing potential of China in exploring the universe in the future. 

"I still remember how impressed I was by the launch of Shenzhou VI in September 2005. From then on, I have carved out the dream of pursuing my career in astronautics from the bottom of my heart." Shi said. "For many people like me, this is not only a job, but a lifelong addiction and commitment. It is of vital importance to let Chinese youths touch astronautics during their childhood so as to sustain the building of talents."

He was echoed (回应) by Zhou, who places high hopes on the future of China's space industry. "We have a population of 1.4 billion, of which more than 200 million are pupils at school. By inspiring their enthusiasm, China will get an abundant supply of talents for the national space research team." "Chinese people will step further in the universe and the hope lies in our children," he added.

The Save

Instantly Casey raised her hand, she feared she had made an awful mistake.

"OK," Coach said. "Casey will be goalie (守门员) in the fourth quarter."

Casey nodded uneasily. She had just joined the Eagles. Now she had volunteered to be goalie, a position that required confidence, which she lacked.

Casey swallowed hard when taking her turn in front of the goal for pre game warm-ups. The goal suddenly looked as big as a movie screen.

When Casey jogged over to her dad near the sidelines, she said quietly, "I cannot do it.", blinking back tears. "Sure you can," Dad encouraged her. "Just keep your head up and be aggressive (好斗的). You might surprise yourself."

The game kicked off and Casey's teammates scored three quick goals. Clearly, they were the better team mostly because their opponents' best player was at a piano recital (演奏会). At halftime the Eagles led, 4 to 0. But then she noticed the Comets' star, number 25 racing toward the field. The piano recital had ended.

Number 25 was flashing across the field, dribbling (带球) past defenders. She zipped past several players and kicked the ball hard into the goal. It was 4 to 1. Two minutes later, number 25 intercepted (拦截) a pass and weaved down (穿行) the field, controlling the ball as if it were tied to her foot. She scored again. It was 4 to 2.

Casey felt her stomach tighten. Soon she would be the one helplessly guarding the goal.

The whistle went. Number 25 scored a third time. The Eagles led by one goal.

"OK, Casey," Coach said as the Eagles huddled up before the fourth quarter. "You go in goal."

Casey stood in front of the net. She yelled for her teammates, who were dominating the game again. They hadn't scored, but Casey hadn't had to make any saves either. Number 25 appeared to be tired.

Casey's heart raced whenever the ball came. But each time it was kicked away. Now there were two minutes left. "Hurry up," Casey thought. "If I never have to touch the ball, we'll win the game. I'll never ..."

Flames in kilns (窑) around China have been burning since the Xia and Shang dynasties. Along the way, porcelain (瓷器) was born.

Porcelain is made by heating raw materials, often  mix between China stone and kaolin clay, in a kiln at a temperature as high as 1,200 degree Celsius. Temperature is key  making porcelain. Going through the fire of reinvention gives porcelain  (great) strength, more translucence (半透明) and a feast of colors.

Plum green and light green are two colors of the best quality.

Porcelain has also been a carrier for cultural exchanges. Along with China's silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first items (receive) worldwide trade.

"It was especially 7 because I got out of the NICU prior to my twin brother," Karis explained.

Choosing the Right Career

You will be leaving this school and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is, "" Some of you may have already decided on a career path, but many of you still don't have a clue! Here are some things you might want to consider.

First, does the career you are considering have staying power?  Rapid technological change is disruptive(扰乱性的), and we need to be forward-looking at our future prospects. While many occupations are being taken over by new technology, jobs that require high-level of critical thinking, emotional intelligence and human interaction, remain in high demand. These jobs are not easily replaced by machines or technology. So think carefully about this before you choose your professional path.

Second, choose a career that interests you. Some people might think this is unimportant, but if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won't seem a chore.

Before making a choice, you should examine your values, skills and personality type. This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.

Third, of course you will want to consider your chosen profession's earning power. Although high pay plays a part, you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to the top, much more effort and a higher level of stress. If you have interests outside of work, or are struggling with other demands in your life, you might want to choose a less demanding line of work.

Let me leave you with an old saying: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

A. You are on the right track.

B. So what do you want to be?

C. Will it be in demand in 20 years' time?

D. It's also likely that you will stay and grow in this career.

E. They simply want you to be the best of the best to your best ability.

F. Only the truly motivated will likely to be able to meet these challenges.

G. Thinking about a life-long career at this stage in your life is surely disturbing.

On April 20 SpaceX's Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket ever, exploded during its first test flight only minutes after it took off from Texas, US.

Even though the two-stage rocket ship made it less than halfway to the edge of space, climbing to just under 25 miles, the flight achieved its primary objective of getting the new vehicle off the ground despite some of its engines failing at liftoff. The plan was for Starship to soar into space at least 90 miles above Earth.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk congratulated team members on "an exciting test launch" in a post-launch tweet and said they "learned a lot for the next test launch in a few months."

Back in September 2017, Musk came up with the idea of developing a rocket that would be able to send astronauts to Mars, build a base on the moon, and allow commercial travel to anywhere on Earth in under an hour, according to The Guardian (卫报).

The most important aspect in Musk's view, however, would be the rocket's ability to be reused for multiple flights. This would allow for massive savings as it would reduce the number of spacecraft that would otherwise simply crash. Also, the rocket relies on low-cost fuel, methane (甲烷), making the cost of spaceflight drop dramatically.

The results of Starship's first launch are not too far off from what Musk and SpaceX's engineers had predicted. Musk himself gave 50-50 odds that Starship would reach orbit, but also stressed that "clearing the launch tower and not blowing up the pad (发射台) would be a win".

In all, "it fell somewhere between a small step and their hoped-for giant leap, but it still represents significant progress toward a reusable super-heavy lift rocket," said Jordan Bimm, a space historian at the university of Chicago, US.

Prepared for the likely outcome, SpaceX already has more boosters and spacecraft ready for more test flights, with the next full set "almost ready to go". The plan is to fire off similar rockets in quick succession (连续) to gather data and start using Starships to launch satellites into low Earth orbit then put people on board. Each launch will take SpaceX a step closer to its ultimate goal of making commercial space flight a reality.

BANGKOK - The world is "failing" on a commitment to stop and reverse (彻底改变) deforestation by 2030, with global losses increasing last year, a group of NGOs and researchers warned Tuesday.

In 2021, leaders from over 100 countries and territories -representing the vast majority of the world's forests-promised to stop and reverse forest loss by 2030. But an annual assessment released Tuesday found global deforestation actually increased by four percent last year, and the world remains well off track to meet the 2030 commitment. "That 2030 goal is not just nice to have, it's essential for maintaining a livable climate for humanity," warned Erin Matson, a lead author of the Forest Declaration Assessment.

Forests are not only key habitats for animal life but serve as important regulators of the global climate and carbon sponges that take in the emissions human activity generates. However, deforestation last year was over 20 percent higher than it should have been to meet the leaders' commitment, with 6.6 million hectares of forest lost, much of it primary forest in tropical regions.

"Data year over year does tend to shift. So one year is not the be-all, end-all," said Matson. "But what is really important is the trend. And since the baseline of 2018 to 2020, we're going in the wrong direction."

The assessment was not universally depressing, with about 50 countries considered on course to end deforestation. In particular, Brazil, Indonesia and Malaysia saw "dramatic reductions" in forest loss. Those gains are at risk however, the report warns. In Brazil, for instance, while there has been renewed interest in protecting the Amazon, another key ecosystem - the Cerrado savannah - has instead become a target.

The report praised new rules introduced by the European Union intended to block the imports of commodities(商品) that drive deforestation. But it called for stronger global action, including more money to conserve forests, and the end of subsidies to sectors like agriculture that drive deforestation.

"The world is failing forests with disastrous consequences on a global scale," said Fran Price, WWF's global forest lead. "Since the global commitment was made, an area of tropical forest the size of Denmark has been lost. We want to see nature and forest high on the agenda!"

As vast fields surrounding Beijing and Shanghai transformed into towering skyscrapers, and old bicycles gave way to motor vehicles, the essence of music communication remained unchanged over these shifts.

"I'll never forget that I've never seen so many bicycles in my life," Philadelphia Orchestra violinist Davyd Booth said, recalling his first tour in China 50 years ago. "Everyone rode a bicycle. There were literally hundreds, thousands."

 This month, 14 musicians from the Philadelphia Orchestra, including Booth, are returning to China, with performances scheduled in Beijing, Tianjin, Suzhou and Shanghai. The tour marks the 50th anniversary(周年纪念日) of their first visit in the 1970s, celebrating the unique friendship between China and the United States. Over the years, the orchestra(管弦乐团) has strengthened connections across China, with concerts and residencies that facilitate meaningful people-to-people interactions.

Booth said the 1973 tour was his first international trip with the orchestra. He considered himself lucky to have been part of the tour. He had just auditioned(试演) and got accepted into the orchestra that year. His official start date was scheduled after the orchestra's return from China, but Booth received a call from the personnel manager informing him that someone had fallen ill. He then took the place and went to China.

"I was incredibly thrilled! Then, after I hung up, I realized I didn't even have a passport," Booth said. However, he got his passport and visa in just three days, thanks to the strong support from both countries. With his violin in tow, Booth joined the team on the 15-hour flight to China.

In addition to some regular compositions, the Philadelphia Orchestra also played the Yellow River Concerto, one of the most popular piano concertos in China even today. The Philadelphia Orchestra cooperated on this ensemble (合奏) with a Chinese pianist, marking the earliest ties between the US and China in music.

After the concert, the team was hanging around on the streets, Booth said. It was a fun experience even though people did not know how to talk to locals because of language barriers, he said. "You can communicate a lot by smiling, and it worked out very, very well," he added.
