2 . You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was,was tired of giving in,”said Parks.

7 . The film, which has got 600 million yuan in only three days, is Ne Zha. For most Chinese born in the 1980s, their knowledge of Ne Zha comes from the ancient novel Fengshen Yanyi, as well as the 1986 TV series The Journey to the West and the 1990 hit drama Fengshen Bang. The stories of Ne Zha are retold in different ways in different times.
In the film, Ne Zha has a big change to his look. Another character, the Dragon King’s third son Ao Bing, almost destroys Ne Zha’s birthplace, Chen Tang Guan, in a selfish way. Ne Zha’s father, Li Jing, is no longer selfish as described in the past works; instead, he becomes a kind father willing to give up his own life to rescue his son. Ne Zha is born with a “cursed destiny”. He is unfairly treated by local villagers who believe that the naughty, yet good-hearted, child will grow up to be a public danger. In Ne Zha’s eyes, he believes his destiny is not predetermined and that he can choose to be a demon or a god.
“Humans are complex. You cannot judge a person with prejudice” the director said.

9 . Have you ever wondered how dogs can walk barefoot(赤脚)in the snow? Now a Japanese scientist may have the answer-an inside central heating system.
The secret lies in how dogs circulate(使循环)their blood to prevent cold surfaces from chilling(使冷却)the rest of their bodies, according to Hiroyoshi Ninomiya, a professor at Yamazaki Gakuen University.
The system uses warm, oxygenated blood(含氧血)to heat the cold blood that has been in contact with a cold surface before returning it to the dog's heart and central circulation. "Dogs exchange heat at the end of their legs. Arterial(动脉的)blood flows to the end of their legs and then heats up venous(静脉的)blood before returning it to the heart, " Ninomiya said of his findings. "In other words, they have a heat exchange system in their feet."
Ninomiya studied a well-kept dog's leg under a microscope and found that because of the nearness of arteries and veins(静脉)in the foot pad,the heat in the blood carried from the heart to the arteries is easily conducted to the cooler blood in the veins.
This heat transference(热量转换)keeps a constant temperature in the foot pad, even when exposed to very cold conditions.
Dogs are not alone in having this sort of heat exchange system, which is shared by other animals such as dolphins.
