Letter 1 Your article (November) mentioned a doctor's visit for “heat and compression” treatment. I bought an inexpensive microwavable moist-heat eye compress online and use it for several minutes at bedtime to help open the oil glands. Plus, the warmth and ritual help me relax and fall asleep. No more messy washcloth compresses for me! —Julie Evans Minneapolis, Minnesota | Letter 2 The Quality Inn in Kodak, Tennessee, turning into a shelter during a historic winter storm showed so much kindness that I read the story twice (November). For Sean Patel to open his hotel to locals in need during the storm and power outage, at Christmastime and for just $25 (the lowest price the corporate regulations would allow), was priceless. The town is a better place because of Patel and his staff. —Annette Wolfe Shelton, Connecticut |

【推荐1】Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag(时差); it was that Monday morning always began with a team meeting and , over the months, he had grown to hate them.
Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agenda(会议议 程); they indulged in(沉溺于)game playing ; and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough---there was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.”
As this morning’s meeting began, Martin prepared himself for the usual dullness and boredom. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London. But as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.
He realized, to his amazement, that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be popular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.
Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions (干涉), based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying.....” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” They looked at him, puzzled. In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly -acquired talent.
As the meeting progressed, it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others. The game playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.
The meeting ended. As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.” “All meetings should be like that,” “ In future, I’m going to say what I think.”

【推荐2】When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on difficult news stories. Now Hilde has written a book telling her own story and sharing some of the challenges she faced.
Hilde’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting. When she was 8, Hilde started her own newspaper called Orange Street News (OSN) and she did the writing, her sister took pictures, and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper.
Following the rules taught by her father, she researched and reported stories of her town in the newspaper. In 2016, OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it.
However, some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset by the complaints, so she responded with a YouTube video. She said, “I want to be taken seriously. I’m sure other kids do, too.”
In 2019, she made the news again when a law enforcement (执行) officer threatened to arrest her for filming him. Hilde knew her rights as a reporter were protected under the Constitution. Later, the town apologized to Hilde for the officer’s actions. Hilde’s activities as a reporter have made her famous and she has earned several awards.
In April, the book Hilde on the Record came out, in which Hilde tells her own story, both the good parts and the sad parts. She talks honestly about the challenges she’s faced and some of those challenges came from other people, but the others came from herself, struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older.

【推荐3】Generation Z is different. As a whole, Americans born between the late 1990s and early 2000s are less likely to have work or look for it: their labour- force-participation rate is 71%, compared with 75% for millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and 78% for Generation X (born in the decade or so to 1980) when each came of age. As a result, they make up a smaller share of the workforce. With graduation ceremonies behind them, the latest group of diploma-holders are entering the job market. What they want from employers is also not quite the same as in generations past.
Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.
This has big implications. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are falling out of favour with recent graduates. A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies. The sectors which are either less able to offer remote work or have been slower to embrace it- including construction, finance and manufacturing-have faced some of the biggest skills gaps for all types of job.
That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. Now technology bosses are more willing than their opposite numbers in finance to let employees work from home (or anywhere else). Annual rankings of employer desirability by Universum, a graduate-staffing consultancy, bear this out. In 2008 the list of best employers graded by American graduates was dominated by big banks and the Big Four consulting firms. By 2021 seven of the ten highest spots were occupied by tech and media giants.

【推荐1】Your one-time support will help UNICEF make a difference to the lives of children in China.
Since 1979, UNICEF has been carrying out programmes in remote areas of China. These programmes provide support and assistance to children in need from several aspects: healthcare, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, child protection and welfare. More specifically, these programmes also look to address issues related to maternal and child health, child-friendly schools, and early childhood development. Your kind support will be used to help Chinese children to meet their most urgent needs through our projects.
Safeguard Adolescent Mental Health
It is estimated that at least 30 million children and adolescents aged under 17 in China struggle with emotional or behavioural problems. However, more than half couldn’t access mental health services that they need. Your donation will support the integration of adolescent mental health services into the primary health care system; help advocate for making psychological counselling services more affordable for all families; and empower adolescents with skills and knowledge to support their mental health.
Enhance Early Childhood Development
The years from pregnancy to a child turning 3 years old are critical and lay the foundation for lifelong health and learning. However, in China, nearly 17 million children under 5 years old are unable to reach their full potential, especially in rural areas of central and western regions. Your support will help provide community-based integrated early childhood services for families and young children, including guidance on health, nutrition, interaction, and play.
Prevent Child Overweight and Obesity
In 2020, the spread of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents aged 6-17 reached 19 per cent, almost double that of 2015. The situation has been worsened by unhealthy food environments, the availability of ultra-processed foods, and aggressive marketing. You can help create a healthy food environment for children and empower them to develop healthy eating habits and lifestyles that could have long-term benefits throughout their lives.
We accept monthly support, and you can also make a one-time support by bank transfer, postal transfer or Alipay. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us: Phone: 021 5113 2366

【推荐2】Palawan is a must for the global traveller, with its charming scenery, untouched rainforests and world-class resorts(度假胜地). Palawan’s beaches simply have no equal, and there are scores of islands for the travelers to explore.
Diving
Divers troop to Palawan, which lies at the very heart of the Coral Triangle biodiversity corridor(走廊). The highlight is Tubbataha Reefs National Park, which is accessible only by live-aboard boat from late March to mid-June.
Island hopping
Top of most visitors’ lists is boarding a trusty speed boat and setting off to explore Palawan’s 1780 islands. Why not take a multiday journey, camping on remote islands under the stars, far removed from other tourists?
Beaches
The best part about Palawan’s glorious beaches? Only a few are known to the masses. The rest are yours for the taking. EI Nido has a seemingly endless supply of sandy sights. North of EI Nido, a rough road leads to Nacpan Beach. Way up north, the Calamian Islands are often ringed 360-degrees by blindingly white sand.
Jungle adventures
Close to 50% of Palawan’s old-growth forest cover remains untouched, by far the most among Philippine provinces. Naturalists can explore the rainforests in search of animals and birdwatchers migrate from around the globe to spot unusual bird species. Additionally, determined hikers can scale numerous peaks.
Palawan has always had a responsible attitude towards its environment. Against the destruction of coastal ecosystems and illegal logging and fishing, several award-wining resorts are leading the way toward a more sustainable future, mixing native design and low-carbon elements to create living spaces that will last. Ecotourism will play a role in determining the future of the islands.

【推荐3】We’ve rounded up some top Australian travel bloggers who have given you their tips on the best places to visit in Australia.
Sydney
Sydney is filled with beautiful beaches, fun activities and good food. One of the best ways to have a view of the beauty of Sydney is by taking a relaxing walk rather than taking other means of transportation, such as buses and boats. An amazing beach walk is from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. It offers extremely pleasant views of the area’s famous rocky, thin and sandy beaches.
Sunshine Coast
Sunshine Coast has become one of the most beautiful strips of coastland in Australia, with long white beaches lined with health-conscious cafes and trendy clothes shops. When you aren’t absorbing the sunshine on one of the many beaches, you can head out to the hinterland for a day of mountain hiking or discover the swimming holes and waterfalls.
Byron Bay
Byron Bay is one of Australia’s top tourist destinations. From countless waterfalls and swimming holes to mountains and bush walks, this small region hides so much beauty. I would suggest starting with a hike to the bottom of Minyon Falls for a swim, a hike to the top of Mt Warning for a sunrise, and then a hike to the Natural Arch.
Blue Mountains
If you’re looking for a dose of nature, the spot is for you. Make sure you have time to visit Wentworth Falls. Blue Mountains will offer walks with appealing views of the waterfall. These famous rock formations are the highlight of this picturesque postcard area. If you head to Echo Point, don’t miss the Science Railway—the steepest passenger railway in the world.

【推荐1】To look inside an ant nest is to meet with an alien civilization. The boiling mass of worker ants beneath an upturned stone is both strangely reminiscent of(联想到)human society and strikingly different. There is an organization that fascinates us and a long line of myrmecophiles (or ant lovers) leads back all the way to King Solomon who in fact advised people to “go to the ant, consider her ways and be wise". This was exactly the inspiration behind Planet Ant, a TV program showcasing what we know about the kingdom of ants, and what ants can teach us about the human world.
Like us, ants build structures, find food, defend their societies and manage waste, and-also like us-they must be well organized. For example, the leaf-cutting ants of Planet Ant have special waste disposal areas for storing harmful waste and a team of “waste-disposal ants" dedicated to keeping the nest clean. But ants achieve this familiar final result in a very different way to humans. Human societies have centralized control, In other words, someone tells us what to do. Ants,on the other hand, have decentralized control and neither the queen nor any other ant directs work. Ant workers are the final self-starters, following specific , but potentially flexible, rules in certain situations.
Chemical trails underpin much of this self-organization. Foragers(觅食者)lay a mix of chemicals known as pheromone(信息素)behind them as they walk. Other ants follow the trail and if they find food they reinforce it, laying more pheromone as they return to the nest. Stronger trails are more likely to be followed, so trails leading to food become progressively reinforced, while trails with no food at the end fade away.
This combination of positive feedback and evaporation(蒸发)produces an effective foraging system that is very good at finding the quickest routes to food. This simple guiding principle, and others like it, have provided some useful solutions to the complex problems faced by engineers, computer scientists and businesses.

【推荐2】For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, it can be difficult to pick out important sounds, such as knocks at the door or fire alarms. Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch, which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout.
The project was led by Dhruv Jain, inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing. SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds, sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing, then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is, and how loud it is. That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected.
“This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps, which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,” says Jain. “But it’s not perfect of course. The app sometimes gets it wrong, or takes too long to tell a user. However, these issues are being worked on.”
Disability is highly personal, and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs. For example, people can be told about the sounds they care about- a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech, the back door opening versus the front door opening, and more.

【推荐3】What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science, until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.
Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.
Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
