Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data — some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class 

Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist, noticed that students who used art in the class listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What's more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.

In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read the information from a book aloud. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.

The team randomly assigned(分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science class or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit — about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.

The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sketch(画速写) or sing to help remember the information. "It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own," Hardiman said

You must have heard the predictions from some of the brightest minds about AI's influence. Tesla and SpaceX's chief Elon Musk worries that AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. The late scientist Stephen Hawking warned that AI could serve as the "worst event in the history of our civilization" unless humanity is prepared for its possible risks.

But many experts, even those who are aware of such risks, have a more positive attitude, especially in health care and possibly in education. That is one of the results from a new AI study released on Monday by the Pew Research Centre.

Pew investigated the opinions of 979 experts over the summer, a group that included famous technologists, developers, innovators, business and policy leaders. The experts interviewed, some of whom chose to remain anonymous(匿名的), were asked to join in the discussion of a serious and important question: "By 2030, do you think it is most likely that advancing AI and related technology systems will improve human capacities and control them?"

Nearly two-thirds of experts predicted most of us will be mostly better off. but a third thought otherwise, and a majority of the experts expressed at least some concerns over the long-term impact of AI on the "essential elements(要素) of being human". Among those concerns were data abuse(滥用), loss of jobs and loss of control brought by cybercrime(网络犯罪). Above all, by taking data in and spitting answers out, those "black box" tools make decisions in digital systems. It is the gradual removal of our ability to think for ourselves.

Many people connect gratitude with saying "thank you" to someone who helped us, making it a short act of appreciation. According to Robert Emmons, a leading researcher, gratitude is an emotion that can result in long-lasting positivity.

Gratitude is good for your health. Through his research, Emmons found that grateful people reported feeling healthier and happier, both mentally and physically. In the workplace, employees who are appreciative are healthier and more productive by 50 percent.

 Gratitude is a selfless act. We often take for granted the simple things in life. Those who recognize the goodness in life, no matter how simple, are more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others and to help whenever they can. Thinking about others' opinions, experiences and backgrounds will make you a better person.

Gratitude makes us more self-aware. Working in an ever-developing, fast-paced society, we are surrounded by ambitious people who are always struggling for more and better.  It starts by paying attention to what's now going on in your life, and true self-awareness is the key to being successful.

Gratitude helps us build strong relationship. Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationship, both at work and in your personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections.

 Taking the time to thank people for their work and kindness—whether it was today, last month or many years ago—makes you happier and more self-aware.
 

A. Gratitude builds understanding. B. Gratitude helps us build up self-confidence. C. Here are a few benefits of being grateful. D. All in all, we feel and express our gratitude in different ways. E. In fact, those who were grateful were 25 percent happier than those who weren't. F. Gratitude makes you reflect on the moment instead of always thinking about the future. G. The old saying goes "It's never too late to say you're sorry", but the same is true of gratitude.

The Chang'e 5 probe,  returned to Earth on Dec 17, 2020, brought back  total of 1,731 grams of rocks and soil from the lunar surface, including glass beads.

After looking into the glass beads from the sample, the international research team (find) that about one ton of glass beads may contain 0.5 kilograms of water. Hui Hejiu, one of the study authors said, "This 'water' wasn't a liquid  instead took the form of hydrogen(氢气). The hydrogen (contain) in the glass beads can (easy) be turned into the water we can use." If the water in the beads is easy to get, it will be a "really big deal" for deep space (explore) missions in the future.

Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa (已经受益于) the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.

This was (无疑) the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times, which much later developed into the car.

In fact, (不止一个) account suggests that while Newton was certainly inspired by a falling apple, there is no proof that it hit him on the head.

Franklin, along with many other scientists, has inspired us and taught us that scientific experiments are important in order to (推定真理) and to contribute towards later scientific discoveries and inventions.

Now, at the top of these stone stairs… (看看；注意) that! That huge sculpture you can see is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace!

After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about little bernard." I wish we could help him to earn money," said Clara. "His family is suffering so much."

"So do I", said Harry. "We really should do something to assist them."

For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried," I have a great idea! I had a solution that we can all help accomplish."

The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. "I tell you what we can do," said John. "You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?
