3 . Searching online for the answer may get you a better grade on the homework. But it won’t necessarily help you learn. Guessing is a better method. Always first find the answers for yourself. It will help you do better on the exam. If you instead find and copy the correct answer, you’ll be less likely to remember it in the future.

For many years, students improved by answering questions and did best on the exam. But by the late 2010s, many students were doing more poorly on the exam than on the homework leading up to it. They would even ace the very first homework. That was the one that tested them on what they had not yet learned. In 2008 , only around 3 out of 20 students did better on their homework than on the exam. But that grew over time. By 2017 , more than half of the students did this way.

What had changed over those years?Students might blame(责怪)themselves.They’d think “I’m not smart enough,”or“I should have studied more.”But something else was going on. One big thing was the rise of smart phones. They appeared in 2008 , but were not common. Now almost everyone carries one. So it would be easier today to quickly go online and find the answer to just about my homework question. But students can’t use phones during an exam. And that might explain why they aren’t doing as well on the tests.

Coming up with answers on your own should lead to better learning for you students at any age. If you find and then copy the right answer, you’re taking the easy way out. And that is wasting a good practice chance .It may take a few more minutes to think of an answer on your own, then check to if it’s right. But that’s the way you’ll learn more.

Now that information is easily available to everyone all the time ,it probably doesn’t make sense for teachers to expect students to take exams without searching online.Instead , teachers should come up with homework and   exam questions that Google can’t easily answer.

5 . Japan's Momiji Nishiya, 13, made history on Monday. At the Tokyo 2020 Games, she took home the first women' s street skateboarding Olympic gold medal. Standing next to her on the podium (领奖台) was Rayssa Leal, also 13, from Brazil. Japanese skater Funa Nakayama, 16, took bronze.

The women's skateboarding final was a huge moment for the Games. Some of the Olympic youngest competitors appeared there. Half of the skaters in the final were younger than 18. In Tokyo's burning heat, they decided to try their best. They managed to fill the mostly empty skatepark with joy as hip-hop music sounded in the background.

After winning gold, Momiji was asked what she wanted to tell young skaters.“Skateboarding is fun and interesting,” she said. “I hope everyone can give it a try.”

And the young medalist is already offering powerful inspiration for new skaters. Outside of the skateboarding field, 9-year old Keito Ota and 8-year-old Ayane Nakamura were eagerly waiting to catch sight of the new Japanese medalists. The two friends started skateboarding about a year ago. They arrived at the park wearing Team Japan skateboarding shits. Every time a bus left the field, they held up pieces of paper that said,“Thank you for your hard work" and “Congratulations on your gold medal.”Keito says he' s adding Momiji to his list of favourite skateboarders. In August, Keito will enter his first competition at a skateboarding student cup.

Just 13 years and 330 days old at the time of her win, Momiji is Japan's youngest-ever gold medalist. She’s one of the youngest in Olympic history. That record, though, goes to American diver (跳水选手) Marjorie Gestring. Gestring to the gold medal at the Berlin 1936 Games at the age of 13 years and 267 days. At age 13 years and 203 days, Leal would have set a new record had she finished first.

6 . When it comes to feeling good with ourselves and our lives, there are so many different things that could affect us and our environment. However, most of them are still within our control.     1    

Smile

The muscles to smile in your face actually send signals to the brain to produce a feel-good chemical that will actually make you feel better. Smiling improves your mood, whether it’s genuine or not. Seriously—try it.

Take Care of Your Skin

Everyone needs to take care of their skin.     2     However, you don’t have to buy too many products—use what’s right for you. If needed, go to your skin doctor for advice.

Find a Relaxing Hobby

    3    Try and think of something you’d love to do that will help you relax. Whether it’s reading or playing guitar, choose something you’ll enjoy so you stick with it in the long run.

Express Admiration for Other People

You feel better when you praise someone else. When you are kind towards people, it will make you feel better as a result. In fact, positive feeling or idea works on others while working on yourself as well.     4    

Make Time to Talk to Your Loved Ones

At times, you might find yourself being too busy to talk to your family or friends.     5     It will help you feel more realistic, more loved, and calmer. That would not take too much time, but it will make a huge difference in your day.

7 . Over the past two years, Wang Yaping has experienced over 6,000 hours of strict training, the most exhausting exercise was the seven-hour underwater training session during which she had to wear a special suit that weighed over 100 kilograms to stimulate (模拟) activities in space outside a spacecraft in a weightless environment.

Wang’s dream of becoming an astronaut was inspired by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission. “Now China has its first man in space, when will our country have its first woman?” thought Wang, who was then working as a fighter pilot in China’s air force.

In May 2010, Wang became a member of China’s first group of female astronauts. The joy of being selected did not last long as the cruel nature of the training quickly sank in. In the first year, Wang couldn’t get the top level in the high-G training, during which she had to tolerate eight times the force of gravity in a spinning centrifuge (离心机). The training simulates the environment when the spacecraft takes off, enters orbit and returns. Blood can’t flow to the brain properly, causing a temporary lack of oxygen and even blindness. Astronauts must operate the spacecraft while facing that condition.

Wang improved her performance by doing extra core-strength exercises every day to strengthen her back and abdominal (腹部的) muscles. She got the top level finally at the end of 2011. Wang realized her space dream a year later as part of the Shenzhou-10 mission.

Wang Yaping has become the first female astronaut to work in China’s Tiangong space station as well as the first Chinese woman to perform a spacewalk.

8 . The 2000 anniversary of the birth of Charlotte Bronte, whose novel Jane Eyre has attracted generations of readers, is being marked in Britain today.

Fans are hosting a birthday party in the house in northern England where Charlotte and her sisters Emily and Anne grew up and wrote their books. The anniversary reflects the global popularity of the Brontes, whose works are seen as among the most important ever written by female authors. A wreath (花环) will be laid for Bronte in Westminster Abbey tomorrow and a ballet version (版本) of Jane Eyre is opening next month, while the National Portrait Gallery is hosting an exhibition in her honour.

The Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth, a remote village in Yorkshire, draws tens of thousands of visitors from around the world each year, and the sisters books are an important part of British bookshops and school curriculums.

Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte were a clergyman’s (牧师) daughters who wrote for pleasure and dreamt of becoming published authors but feared they would not be taken seriously because they were women. They therefore adopted the pen names of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell when they sent Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to publishers in the 1840s.

Emily Bronte fell ill and died in 1848, followed by Anne the following year. Charlotte lived for a further six years before dying in Haworth in 1855 at age 38. Jane Eyre, which has never been out of print in Britain, tells the story of Jane Eyre’s youth as an orphan and how she falls in love with her employer, Mr Rochester, while working as a teacher.

Charlotte Bronte’s other works include Shirley and Villette. Her biographer Claire Harman told the BBC this month that she was someone “who longed to be forever known, but relied on anonymity (匿名) in order to achieve it; a woman much more concerned about truthfulness than personal fame and someone who put into words her own terrible sufferings... as being the only way to deal with them.”

Social cognition is the study of how people process social information, especially its encoding, storage, recall and     1     (apply) to social situations.

There has been much recent interest in the links between social cognition and brain function,     2     (particular) as so far, neuropsychological (神经心理学) studies     3     (show) that brain injury can badly affect social judgement and interaction.

People with certain mental illnesses     4     (know) to show differences in how they process social information. There is now     5     expanding research field     6     (examine) how such conditions may bias (造成偏差) cognitive processes involved in social interaction, conversely, how such biases may lead to the symptoms associated with the condition. It is also becoming clear     7     some aspects of psychological processes that promote social behavior (such as face recognition) may be inborn.

Studies have shown that newborn     8     (baby), younger than one hour old can selectively recognize and respond     9     faces, while people with some developmental disorders such as autism or Williams syndrome may show differences in social interaction and social communication when     10     (compare) to their unaffected peers.
