【推荐2】For many teenagers, the weekend is a time to relax and socialize.    1    

Saturday jobs have been a way for young people to earn money and get some work experience for years.

In 1999, almost half of all 16 and 17-year-olds in the UK were doing some kind of paid work. By 2019, this number had almost been reduced by half. This has left some people wondering whether the Saturday job is dying out. Some adults say that this means young people are missing out on valuable life skills and experiences.    2    

Yes — it prepares teenagers for life. Having a weekend job means that teenagers can start earning their own money.    3     It will also benefit them later in life because weekend jobs give young people experience of the working world. Without it, they’ll be less prepared for starting their first full-time job. Weekend jobs also teach important life skills.     4    Teenagers who don’t have a weekend job are missing out on a valuable experience.

    5     Not having a weekend job means more time for teenagers to focus on school work and their hobbies. In any case, teenagers today don’t have to do the weekend jobs their parents did in order to make money and get experience. There will be a lot of time for work once they’ve left school.

【推荐1】Fremont, Calif. , is the happiest city in the United States, according to a new WalletHub survey. There is no one way to define happiness or what causes it, but WalletHub researchers determined that people in the Bay Area city are content, in part, because of income.

According to the survey, about 80 percent of Fremont residents (居民) have an annual household income of over $75, 000—the most out of the 182 largest cities in the country. A landmark 2010 study found that increased income is linked to happiness up to a point—$ 75, 000 a year.

“A person living in poverty is, on average, less happy than a person who: makes enough money to pay the bills, have adequate health care, save a little, and take the occasional vacation,” said Matthew Joseph, an associate professor at Duquesne University. “And those in the top 1 percent are, on average, likely a good bit happier than the first person in poverty but only slightly happier (if at all) compared to the second person.”

However, another 2021 study contradicts (相矛盾) that study's findings, showing that people continue to report being happier even if their income climbs past this number.

Fremont residents also report high rates of life satisfaction and low rates of depression, the survey found. Most people in the city also, on average, have lived for a long time.

Another factor contributing to Fremont's happiness level is the city's. low separation and divorce rate—8. 9 percent, which is the lowest in the country.

Fremont residents also seem to be taking care of themselves psychologically (心理上) , according to the survey, since it has the lowest share of adults reporting 14 or more mentally unhealthy days in the past month.

【推荐1】The planet’s climate has been changing over thousands of years. The average global temperature today is about 15℃. Scientists are worried that the planet is warming faster than ever before. The 20 warmest years on record have been in the past 22 years, according to the World Meteorological Organization(WMO). If this situation continues, temperatures may rise by 3℃-5℃ by 2100.

Scientists say we should try and stop this and not allow the average global temperature to rise by more than 1.5℃. Even a 2℃ rise will be bad for us all. Now, half a degree doesn’t sound like much, but it could make a big difference to the planet. A 2℃ rise will mean that all the coral reefs(珊瑚礁) will disappear, but a 1.5℃ rise means that there will still be some. Also, 18 percent of the insects on Earth will disappear if the temperature goes up by 2℃, compared to 6 percent disappearing at a 1.5℃ rise. Thirty-seven percent of people will be affected by dangerous heatwaves at a 2℃ rise. That’s twice the number compared to at a 1.5℃ rise.

So, what can we do? Scientists say that carbon(碳) will have to be taken out of the air by machines and stored underground and that these devices already exist. They also say that billions of trees will have to be planted. People should buy less meat. Of all the foods we eat, beef has the biggest effect on climate change because it produces a high amount of greenhouse gases to raise cows. Also, someone suggested not buying new clothes too often, because the fashion industry is a major source of the greenhouse gases that are overheating the planet. And, of course, use transport that doesn’t bur fossil fuels(化石燃料), like electric cars. It’s also better to walk or ride a bike.

【推荐3】If you’re short of money and don’t mind selling the rights to your face, you can make £100,000 by licensing (准许) your face to a robotics company.

According to a blog post by a London-based engineering company Geomiq, a robotics company is looking for a “kind and friendly” face to put on a human-like robot once it goes into production. This will probably need using this person’s face on thousands of robots around the world, so the company is willing to pay no less than £100,000 in licensing fees. The robot in question is designed to be a “friend” for elderly people, and is scheduled to go into production this year.

Geomiq is not free to give too much information about the robotics company or its project, because of a non-disclosure agreement they’ve signed with the designer and his financial backers. “We know that this is an extremely special request, and signing over the licenses to your face is probably an extremely big decision,” Geomiq said, adding that interested people can send a photo of themselves by email.

The robotics company has reportedly been working on this human-like robot for five years, and because of the secretive nature of the project, anonymity (匿名) is of great importance. However, interested people with the right kind of face chosen for the “next stage” will be given full details on the project.

The search for a suitable face to be used has met with mixed responses from the public. Some of them say that the company should create a false face using information from data sets (数据集) that have over 100,000 realistic but not actually real faces, much like the famous human-like robot, Sophia. However, others think here is a chance of seeing robots as an important source of income.
