His interest in Chinese language and characters dates from 1972, when Richard Sears, was a 22-year-old physics major at Portland State University in Oregon. To Sears, the characters were complex with many strokes(笔画) and almost no apparent logic. But when he could get an explanation of a Chinese character's original meaning and an interpretation of its pictographs(象形文字), it would suddenly become apparent how all the strokes had come to be. "I'm a physicist, so I don't like blind memorization. I knew that Chinese characters came from pictographs and I wanted to know the stories behind the Chinese characters. "
As he studied, Sears found that many of the explanations were conflicting and even the experts were at odds. He decided to computerize the characters, so that he could separate good opinions from bad ones. He scanned about 96, 000 ancient characters and established the database of them.
In 2002 he got his website up and named it Chinese Etymology, where visitors can check for free the development of Chinese characters in various forms, from the original pictographs to the modern simplified forms. The clicks to the website went up to 600, 000 in one day. Overnight he became American Uncle Hanzi, a nickname(绰号) given by Chinese netizens.
Besides, he has explained the origin of 15, 000 modern characters. For example, the character jia (home) has a rooftop and a pig underneath. In southern China where it rains a lot, people put their houses on stilts(木桩), so if it flooded, the inside of the house would not get wet. So, the pigs live underneath the house.
Last year, Sears set up his studio in Nanjing that focuses on applying AR, animation(动画) and artificial intelligence to tell stories of Chinese culture and character origins. He has made over 60 such videos in English with Chinese subtitles for Bilibili, a video website. "They have both entertainment and educational value, " he says.
In the meantime, Sears has been updating the database. "My philosophy is huo dao lao xue dao lao. "
Researchers from Singapore said in their new study that in older adults, doing housework was tied to a better memory and attention span, and stronger legs, which helps prevent falls. Shiou-Liang Wee, a researcher said, "Housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults and represents a significant share of their self-reported physical activity. "
For the study, Wee's team investigated nearly 500 healthy Singaporeans between 21 and 90 years of age. Among younger participants, 36% said they engaged in enough physical activity to meet the goal researchers set as beneficial, as did 48% of older participants. But 61% of younger and 66% of older participants met this target only through housework, the study revealed.
After taking other types of regular physical activity into consideration, the researchers found that housework was tied with sharper mental abilities and better physical capacity, but only among the older participants. Scores on tests of mental ability were as much as 8% higher among those who did lots of housework, compared with those who did little, Lee's team found.
And among older participants, balance and the time it took to stand up from sitting, which the investigators used as an indication of physical ability, were better for those who did lots of housework than for those who didn't.
Dr. Maria Carney, chief of geriatric (老年病的) medicine at Northwell Health, N. Y. , noted that exercise benefits your brain, and housework is exercise that also involves mental activity and requires detailed thought processes to complete. Physical activity increases blood circulation to your muscles and your brain, which helps mental function. Housework can be an important part of your exercise routine. Carney said, "It's a task you've got to plan for. You've got to use devices; you've got to use equipment. There's planning involved, so there's mental exercise along with physical exercise. "
I've just asked Julie Gray, a biologist at the University of Sheffield, which species she thinks would be the last ones standing if we don't take transformative(变革性的) action on climate change. "I don't think it will be humans. I think we'll go quite early on, " says Gray. Humans probably won't be among the survivors, partly because humans produce young extremely slowly and generally just one or two at a time.
It may seem like just a thought experiment. But discussing which species are able to survive climate change is disturbingly concrete. As a report stated recently, one in four species currently faces extinction, which is closely linked to climate change. While the seriousness of climate change is undeniable, we can make some educated guesses about which species will have a better shot at going far.
According to Jen Lau, a biologist at University Bloomington, heat tolerant and drought resistant plants, like those found in deserts, are more likely to survive. So are plants whose seeds can be spread over long distances, for example by wind or ocean currents. Plants that can adjust their flowering times may also be better able to deal with higher temperatures.
We can also look to history as a guide. Cockroaches(蟑螂) adapted to an increasingly dry Australia tens of millions of years ago, by starting to dig holes in soil to hide. Cockroaches also tend to not be picky eaters. Having broad diets means that climate change will be less of a threat to them.
Furthermore, species called "mobile generalists" by experts can move and adapt to different environments and are more likely to last long in face of climate change. For example, deer in the US are common in suburban areas and manage to live where forests have been removed or are regularly disturbed.
Certainly, some animals would also survive if they could find a buffer: an area that is relatively protected from climate change's consequences, such as deep sea canyons(峡谷), underground caves.
A few years ago, I was giving a presentation to the CEO of a company. Through the entire meeting time, the CEO sat at the conference table with his arms tightly crossed without a smile. I was sure that he was not satisfied, but later his assistant told me her boss was impressed with my presentation. Suddenly, I realized that, it was his usual behavior. Here are three more: ignoring the context, finding meaning in a single gesture, comparing with a proper culture.
First, context(语境) is king. The same nonverbal(不用语言的) gestures can take on totally different meanings in different contexts. You can't really make sense of someone's nonverbal message unless you understand the circumstances behind it. For example, if you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call, let people know why you're tired.
Then, people are constantly trying to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But often they will assign meaning to a single nonverbal gesture. Generally speaking, people take more notice of any sign that indicates you're in a bad mood and not to be approached. So, you may be more comfortable standing with your arms folded across your chest, but others judge that single gesture as resistant and unapproachable.
When I talk about culture, I'm referring to a set of shared values that a group of people hold. More importantly, they are the kind of criteria by which people judge others. We all have cultural biases(偏见) that regard some nonverbal behaviors as normal and right and others as strange or wrong. What's proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.
Understanding them, and trying not to make the same ones, will help you display your nonverbal ability.
A. Such values affect how members of the group think and act.
B. Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
C. These are people's most common mistakes when they read your body language.
D. As with me, when people don't know your usual behavior they can easily jump to the wrong conclusion.
E. Without this context, you'll look like you're just bored.
F. If they don't know the context, embarrassment will appear.
G. This is because the human brain pays more attention to negative messages than it does to positive ones.
Some of you who are reading this may think my situation isn't as bad as it sounds. If that is your conclusion, let me1you otherwise.
Today, before I left home to accomplish something in town, I2something that had been on my bucket list(愿望清单) like forever. I learned to split(劈叉)! 3, I did not learn in the way that most do.

Hours after a dance performance, some netizens began posting our own videos of copy the show's specific move—bending backward at a 90-degree angle. The program, what aired on Jan 31 during the annual Chinese New Year gala(春晚), was inspired by one of the best-known classical Chinese painting—A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains. It was painted by Wang Ximeng, young artist who lived during the Song Dynasty. The bend was meaning to copy the shape of blue and green mountains in the painting. Netizens soon create a term for the move—"blue-green waist". Though the pose is graceful, but it is skillful and challenging. Experts has warned that without years of training, the move may cause severely injuries.
