Online, where posts can spread rapidly and everything leaves a trail, words can also be harsh. Often the only defence people have is     1    their online profiles entirely. But that means giving up a way to interact with others in a positive way. Bullying happens where young people spend their time-at present, mainly Weibo, Wechat, Hupu and Tieba. A widely suggested “solution” is to     2     teenagers to particular platforms. But then they will migrate to others.

Facebook and Instagram use artificial intelligence to spot verbal     3    . Most social-media sites have instructions on how to report     4     material and block other users. For example, Facebook this week announced new ways for users to avoid “unwanted, offensive or hurtful experiences”. However, a(n)     5     survey in Britain found that 70% of people thought that social-media companies do too little to prevent bullying.

More school-aged children have reported being cyberbullied than before the pandemic, according to the report     6    by the World Health Organization (WHO). The study surveyed more than 279,000 young people from 44 countries and regions. In Wales, where nearly 37,000 young people were surveyed, 17% reported falling     7    to cyberbullying. The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey suggests the proportion of adolescents who reported being cyberbullied has witnessed some     8     increases since 2018, from 12% to 15% for boys and 13% to 16% for girls.

Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, a WHO     9    , said: “Focusing on virtual types of peer violence is now a priority to safeguard the health and     10     of populations of adolescents and young people, and cyberbullying must be viewed as a major issue for societies.”

The recorder (竖笛) is an instrument of “incredible functions” for too many generations. But now, it faces extinction. Fewer and fewer people     1     it,with one of the UK’s top music schools reporting an 80% drop in the number of young people playing it in the last 10 years.

Tom Redmond, the principal of Chetham’s school of music in Manchester, said only three of its pupils practised the recorder,     2     15 a decade ago. “More pupils were playing the piano or other instruments,” said Redmond. “The ones which have really flourished are the ones spent more time alone playing. Whereas the instruments that are more socially or orchestral based, like the recorder     3     there has been a decline. Plus, pupils now have more alternatives when     4     a hobby.”

Redmond also said that this problem     5     great attention because it extended “beyond the recorder itself and was a reflection of the future of music. “Like removing any plant or animal from an ecosystem, removing the recorder has a huge ripple effect beyond just the instrument.” he said.

The instrument is     6     revival and its future is so threatened that the European Recorder Teachers Association is trying to     7     again so it does not go the way of the lute. Chris Orton, a recorder tutor and chair of the ERTA, is leading the fight against the instrument’s extinction. When receiving an interview     8     the association, he said, “The recorder is increasingly overlooked by students, and yet it has a rich history and incredible attractions. Bands like Led Zeppelin and the Beatles have used the recorder in their songs. As well as     9     beautiful sounds, it’s an accessible instrument in that it is low-cost compared to other woodwind instruments, and it’s light and easy to carry.” Chris Orton hopes more young students can take up the recorder.

    10     his call, Anna Williams, one of the three students practising the instrument at Chetham’s will be the first recorder soloist to perform with the Chetham’s Symphony Orchestra in the Bridgewater Hall in July, acting as a role model to show the value in the instrument.

Raising a teenager today can be a challenging job. Long gone are the innocent     1     when you could have him accept your values or accomplish what you think the most important thing.

Today’s teens spend an average of 7.5 hours a day     2     to some type of electronic device and most know more about the Internet than their parents. This means they are potentially     3     to a lot more trouble than previous generation. It’s every parent’s first     4     to keep their children safe from harm or to rescue them before they     5     the consequences. Children need their parents to look after their welfare even if they are too     6     to understand and express that need.

However, protections such as parental control     7     can easily be turned off by skilful computer users. “Friending your child on Facebook doesn’t work     8    , either, as it offers users multiple ways to hide content from certain friends.

One of the best of these new services is TeenSafe.com. It’s an online service that allow parents to     9     their children’s mobile, social and Web activities, all in one place. The program can be easily customized for every family’s     10     needs to ensure that everything is okay online.

There must be some songs that just become rooted in your brain--- "Call Me Maybe," "Poker Face" and "Let It Go," to name a few. But do you know why these sticky songs --- ear worms, as our brains? they're known --are so hard to get rid of? And what kinds of songs are    1    to become sticky in our brains.

A few studies hold at least some answers. First of all, common ear worms seem to share some exhausted features. They're songs| you've heard a lot (which may be why current radio     2    tend to dominate “Top 10 Ear worm"list). They often have repetitive notes or unexpected intervals (间隔) in timing. They also have     3    rhythms and pitch (高音) patterns.

Scientists sometimes    4    to ear worms as "involuntary musical imagery". A study found that about 90 percent of Internet users reported getting a song    5    in their head at least once a week. The more musical the person is, the more ear worms they were likely to experience, the study found, and that result has been     6     up by other surveys. Research    7    at the 12^th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition in 2012 in Greece found that longer no with smaller intervals of pitch between them made for stickier ear worms. It is    8    because long notes and limited changes in pitch are simply easier to sing. The research' also found that people with obsessive-compulsive (强迫症的)traits (meaning they have a    9    toward worry) reported ear worms more frequently.

People are more likely to pick up an ear worm when they are doing something    10    , like jogging or chores (家务活), according to another study.

Sometimes it’s the simplest daily practice that can have the biggest impact on your health, and yoga is proof of that. Although most forms of yoga aren’t considered to be as intense as other workout regimens, practising yoga on a daily basis has been scientifically demonstrated to help you mentally and     1    . Through breath work, meditation and holding poses that increase strength and     2    the body and mind gain benefits from yoga that positively impact your long-term health. It’s no     3    people have been practising yoga for over 5000 years, and that the number of Australians practising yoga doubled between 2008 and 2017 to over two million, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Yoga teacher, Jenni Tarmar, shares, “we have a     4    of research demonstrating that a regular mindfulness practice - the act of paying attention to the sensation in the body, thoughts and emotions without judgment - can reduce stress and help us to feel calmer, more productive, and     5    more even-keeled in our daily lives.”

After evaluating yoga history and research, one 2014 review published in Frontiers in Human Neouroscience concluded that     6    yoga practice can help facilitate self-regulation. Another study of adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18 found that practising yoga positively benefited emotional regulation and self-esteem. “Movement releases beneficial neurotransmitters (神经转发器) in the brain, which helps us feel good as well as assist in     7    regulation,” says yoga instructor, Evan Lawrence. “One of the things that I like about yoga specifically is that there is, at the same time, a focus on physical movement and     8    .”

According to associate professor of psychiatry, Dr Gail Saltz, “practising yoga improves overall blood     9    to the body, including the brain, which is helpful for cognition and memory.”

One 2019 review published in Brain Plasticity concluded that behavioural interventions like yoga can help “mitigate age-related and neurodegenerative decline” due to the positive effects a daily practice has on different parts of the     10    brain, like the hippocampus (which plays a major role in learning and memory) and the prefrontal cortex (cognitive control functions).

Many of us grow up dreaming of becoming an astronaut. Ever wonder what it takes to be one?

Take NASA for example.

In order to catch NASA's eye, would-be astronauts must not only stand out in required skills and pass physical and psychological exams, but also find unique ways to    1     themselves from the harsh competition.

NASA's requirements for becoming an astronaut have changed over the years. Originally, it     2     candidates with a military flight background, with at least 1,000 hours spent in command of a jet aircraft. In 1978, however, NASA    3     its focus to a more varied group of astronauts:scientists and engineers with at least three years of experience in their     4     fields.

During the years of shuttle missions, everyone had a    5     : some would focus on robotics,others on spacewalks or maintenance. To work on the space station, astronauts must be able to perform all tasks, which encourage applicants to acquire different experiences. Jeanette Epps, an astronaut, studied aerospace engineering, worked at Ford Motor Company and took a job with the CIA before joining NASA. She says astronauts’ varied backgrounds     6     to their ability to adapt and learn anything quickly.

After ensuring that candidates are U. S. citizens and that they satisfy basic education and experience requirements, the selection committee enters a gray area.“We’re not really looking for one thing, just a good     7     of things,”said Duane Ross, the manager for astronaut candidate selection and training.

To the committee, candidates who take on    8     outside of the workplace demonstrate curiosity and energy. Many astronauts who don't have a military background do hold a(n)    9    piloting license. Some are enthusiastic mountain climbers, scuba divers or skiers. Others are musicians, dancers, or play competitive sports. Choosing to    10     themselves to different, extreme environments counts as another way to stand out from the crowd.

Economics survive by continually responding to the world around them. This means employing new technologies or exploiting new international markets when     1     growth. Today, these global shifts — dramatic shocks to economies — occur more frequently, are more     2     and, in knowledge-based economies are more dependent on talent than ever. In countries where a workforce lacks the skills that are suddenly in     3    , we see a skills gap emerge. This leads to higher unemployment rates while vacancies increase and productivity and growth decline.

So how can economies     4    ? By adapting. However, unlike the macro-strategies of the last century, people — not just policy — must drive today’s adaptability. Employers and policymakers have long     5     the importance of a flexible workforce, but until now it has been difficult to isolate the human element — the willingness and ability of employees to seek out and find opportunities across multiple employers, locations and industries. Our new ability to measure it and analyse talent adaptability — and to start to understand what drives it — are crucial steps forward.

The     6     of a market to match supply and demand efficiently depends on the ability and willingness of employers and employees to adapt to changing circumstances and align (使一致) skills with available opportunities. If this alignment is less than perfect, a mismatch     7     and optimum productivity can’t be reached.

Adapt to Survive for the first time brings together the two most comprehensive sources of talent data in the world: the real-time behaviours drawn from LinkedIn’s 277 million members and employer information from PwC’s Saratoga database of people and performance metrics (指标) which covers more than 2,600 employers across the globe. This report sets a new benchmark for     8     a country’s ability to match talent with opportunity and the movement of people between industries — the Talent Adaptability Score. This score is given to 11 countries. For each country, we evaluate how the Score     9     economic performance. Our recommendations are organised around four groups:

● Individuals — Prove your adaptability.

● Employers — Seek out, nurture and reward talents who can adapt.

● Educators — Offer courses and job training that produce     10     people.

● Governments — Create a climate of adaptability.
