【推荐2】Too much salt — and not enough whole grains, fruits and vegetables-may be shaving years off our lives,   a new analysis suggests.

In a study published Wednesday in the Lancet, researchers looked at people's eating habits across 195 countries to estimate how much poor diets contribute to the number of deaths.     1    ? That 11 million people die each year around the world due, at least in part, to certain foods or lack of them, according to the study.

Lead author Ashkan Afshin, an epidemiologist at the University of Washington, said the researchers estimated    2    , including cigarette smoking, known to be one of the greatest threats to public health.

The problem, he said, is not only what people are eating;     3     The study estimated that globally, 3 million deaths were attributed to too much salt-but another 3 million deaths were attributed to too little whole grains and another 2 million deaths to too little fruit.     4    — a balanced diet is important for a long, healthy life.

    5    ? Nestle, a professor at New York University, suggested that it makes sense that dietary risks are higher because everyone eats— but not everyone smokes. So she said that “diet is a risk factor for everybody”.

The technology of artificial intelligence（Al）is changing the world of work. There is one kind of job，though，that is difficult to be automatic；the kind that requires emotional skills，including all the abilities that let us recognize and respond appropriately to emotional states in ourselves and others. Artificially intelligent software is being built that can recognize emotions in people's faces and voices，but it is a long way from producing real empathy.

As robots come for our routine jobs，the ability to work well with others is becoming a key to success at work. A 2016 World Bank review of 27 studies of employers found that 79%of them ranked emotional skills such as honesty or the ability to work within a team as the most important qualification for workers.

Emotional skills are particularly important in healthcare. As populations in many countries age and non-communicable diseases grow，the World Health Organization says that the world will need 40 million new health workers by 2030 and we will be lacking in nurses by 18 million. That figure includes highly educated doctors and technicians，for whom a good bedside manner is complementary（辅助的）to their technical skills. It also includes a wide range of workers whose main qualification is being able to support and communicate with patients. Effective healthcare requires men and women with emotional skills，but not necessarily advanced technical skills.

Education is another industry where the need for emotional connection makes automation unlikely. Teaching young children must involve humans，in order to motivate students，spot potential developmental problems and develop social skills. As it turns out，that also appears to be true of adult education.

MOOCs were once seen as a way into higher education，letting anyone learn for free if they wanted to，but they've proved something of a disappointment. In contrast，for-profit colleges get first-generation college students to enroll（注册）and stay enthusiastic by hiring an army of warm，engaging staff to offer personal support and guidance.

The rising importance of emotional work is likely to affect most of us. Each of us can put effort into sharpening our emotional skills as well as our technical ones. That might mean reading an attractive book with characters you care about，taking an outdoor break to increase emotional resilience（恢复力），or just stopping to consider how your comments are getting across to your co-workers.

【推荐1】People have got faster at typing text messages on their phones. But how fast are we at using a smart phone compared to typing words on a traditional keyboard? A team of researchers carried out an experiment.

The researchers used an Internet-based system to test the typing speed of over 37,000 volunteers on their smart phones. The volunteers spent about six hours a day using their phones. Most of them used two thumbs to type. Both Android and iPhone users were tested. They were given 15 English sentences to type out on their phones as quickly and accurately as possible.

The research team found that people wrote about 36 words per minute. It is slower than the average rate for people using a computer keyboard. In a 2018 University of Cambridge study, the average speed for computer typists was 52 words per minute. Noting the narrowing of speed rates between smart phones and computers, the team said we have become slower at typing on keyboards over the years. 75 percent of those taking part in the study had typing speeds below 44 words per minute. But the fastest phone typists reached speeds of 80 words per minute. People using two thumbs typed 38 words per minute. Those using only one finger 29 words per minute.

According to the findings, Anna Feit, a researcher at ETH Zurich, said it makes sense that younger people have higher typing speeds because they spend a lot more time on their devices. It was found that a phone's automatic correct tool can be helpful. Users were able to type faster with it. “The given understanding is that techniques like word completion help people”, Feit said. “But we found the time spent thinking about the word suggestions often outweighs the time spent typing the letters, making you slower.”

The difference between typing on a smart phone and a keyboard is called “the typing gap". They say this gap will further narrow in future as people get less skilled with keyboards and as smart methods for typing on devices continue to improve.

【推荐2】The sun shows its face every day, but an amazing new telescope is giving us a whole different view of it. And guess what? Our familiar friend in the sky has some impressive features! Seen from the earth without a fancy telescope, the sun resembles a pale disc, sort of like a big sugar cookie shining in the sky. However, in detailed photos and video captured by the new telescope, the sun’s surface looks lumpy(块状的)and bumpy.

The incredible instrument responsible for these eye-popping images is the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), the most powerful solar telescope in the world. A project of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the telescope is named after a U.S. politician who represented the state of Hawaii, which is home to the high-tech, high-resolution wonder.

The DKIST is at the summit of Haleakalā on the island of Maui, which is…a volcano! While that might sound like a risky place for a $344-million observatory to perch, the volcano is extinct. What’s more, the combination of high elevation, low air disturbance, and deep blue skies make it an ideal location to study the sun. Modern astronomers(天文学家)aren’t the first to recognize that Haleakalā has a special connection to the sun—ancient Hawaiians were way ahead of them. The summit of Haleakalā is admired by native Hawaiians, who gave the place its name, which means “House of the Sun.”

Now, after being under construction for about ten years, the DKIST is sunbathing in this storeyed spot. When the telescope’s first videos and photos were posted, they blew up on social media like a superstar, but the NSF has much bigger goals than going viral. The astronomers want to study the surface of the sun to better predict solar weather.

Why on earth would people want a weather forecast for a place that’s more than 145 million kilometers away? Because events on the surface of the sun can end up affecting us right here at home. Solar weather can disable satellite systems and GPS tracking systems and even cause blackouts, in which large areas temporarily lose electricity. In 2017, solar flares(耀斑)disabled radio communications as three hurricanes were bearing down on the Caribbean. As you can imagine, that was a huge blow to emergency response efforts.

By studying the images the DKIST captures, scientists hope to learn how to predict solar weather events in time for people to take precautions and prevent disasters. In the meantime, we can all enjoy getting an eye-opening new view of the sun!
