A 15-year-old Colorado high school student and young scientist who has used artificial intelligence (AI) and created apps to address polluted drinking water, drug addiction and other social problems has been named Time Magazine's first-ever "Kid of the Year".
Rao told The Associated Press in an interview from her home that the prize is nothing that I could have ever imagined. And I'm so grateful and just so excited that we're really taking a look at the upcoming generation and our generation, since the future is in our hands.
Time said Rao stood out for creating a global community of young innovators and inspiring them to pursue their goals. Rao insisted that starting out small doesn't matter, as long as you're passionate about it.
She told Time contributing editor Angelina Jolie in an interview that her science pursuits started early as a way to improve social conditions. The drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, inspired her work to develop a way to detect pollutants and send those results to a mobile phone, she said.
"I was like 10 when I told my parents that I wanted to research carbon nanotube sensor technology at the Denver Water quality research lab, and my mum was like, A what?" Rao told Jolie. She said that work is going to be in our generation's hands pretty soon. "So if no one else is gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. "
In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insisted that its pursuit is an act of kindness, the best way that a younger generation can better the world.
"We have science in everything we're involved in, and I think that's the biggest thing to put out there, that science is cool, innovating is cool, and anybody can be an innovator. " Rao said, "Anybody can do science. "
A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures can be as informative as speech, but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice we're using them.
While the recall of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion, the memories of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally(故意地).
Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when asked, say "Did you drink juice at the picnic?", the child is likely to say "yes" even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions, such as "What did you have at the picnic?" But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is, children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn't just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. "It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children. "
In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to "Try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened. "
One of my favorite family photographs was taken last year at Disneyland. We were at the 1 of a ride called "Splash Mountain" and the picture was taken just as we were starting to 2 down. Disneyland cleverly designed an automatic camera, 3 at the most frightening part of the ride to take photos of the riders. These 4 pictures are then displayed at the exit of Splash Mountain and are available to 5 . They are not expensive.
I love this photograph because it's so real. Usually, when you are going to take pictures, you tidy your hair and 6 a pretty smile, wanting to look best. This picture is natural, showing a perfect mixture of 7 and terror on our faces. My husband's mouth is open in a scream as he hangs on to me. My son is 8 his baseball cap backwards so it won't fly off.
Every time I look at that photograph, I feel 9 . Through this picture, I sense that life should be an adventure and that we should have courage and enjoy new 10 all the time. However, most of the time we draw back 11 fear. Fear is a kind of sick feeling that can 12 us from experiencing new interesting things in life. In fact, just as Franklin D. Roosevelt 13 it, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
So, when you feel like you're at the top of a roller coaster with a huge, alarming drop, don't retreat(撤退). That is the time to 14 . That's the time to put a big smile on your face, scream if you need to, hug those you 15 and move forward towards the new adventures ahead.
Traditional Chinese medicine originated in ancient and developed for long time. It has collected various ways to treat (differ) diseases. It pays attention the balance of the body system. It reads, once the body system (balance), the disease will disappear. The damage of the body system is the source of the disease.
TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. It has made great (contribution) to the prosperity (繁荣) of China. Great successes have been made in many areas through TCM cure.
