Since he posted his first message on Weibo last summer, Thomas has gained nearly two million followers.How did a young A
12、merican become a big star in China? The answer lies in Thomass facial expressions. They have become a hugely popular meme (表情包).Thomas first made a name for himself in the United States. In a short video, he smiled nervously when his uncle put a lizard on his head. The video became popular online. I
13、t soon spread to China, and Thomass fame took off.Thomass nickname (外号) in China is the “ fake smile” boy. It refers to the eight-year-olds nervous but polite smile. In China alone, a meme of Thomass smile might be used ten million times a day. These memes are usually used to express forced positivi
14、ty. “ If someone says something embarrassing, but you dont want to shoot it down directly, ” said Leo Li, a student in Beijing. “ The Gavins meme can convey your embarrassment while leaving a way out. ”Experts say Chinas love for the memes is rooted in its culture of politeness.

18、hina.D. Thomas is more popular in China than in the West.BFor many people, spending a few hours without your smart phone can feel like a lifetime. Now, one expert claims that humans are becoming so dependent on technology, that were actually merging (融合) into it.Speaking at the Fast Company European
19、 Innovation Festival, Professor Yuval Noah Harari, a historian at the Hebrew University claimed that its becoming more and more difficult to tell where humans end and machines begin. He said, “ Its increasingly hard to tell where I end and where the computer begins. In the future, it is likely that
20、the smart phone will not be separated from you at all. It may be embedded in your body or brain, constantly scanning your biometric (生物特征的) data and your emotions. ”During his speech, Professor Harari highlighted how humans have affected our environment over time, and suggested that now may be the t
21、ime to affect ourselves. He said, “ Humanity has always remained constant. If we told our ancestors in the Stone Age about our lives today, they would think we are already Gods. But the truth is that even though we have developed more wonderful tools, we are the same animals. We have the same emotio
22、ns, the same minds. The coming revolution will change that. It will change not just our tools, it will change the human being itself. ”If we do manage to merge with machines, Professor Harari suggests it could open the door to setting up civilizations beyond Earth. He added, “ Life will be able to b
23、reak out of planet Earth and no longer be confined to this flying rock. ”While Professor Hararis claims may sound far-fetched (牵强的), he isnt alone in his vision of a machine-human world. Back in 2017, Elon Musk claimed that humans should merge with machines, or risk becoming “ irrelevant” (不相关的). He

That month, Antarctic sea ice shrunk to the smallest monthly size ever recorded.Antarctic sea ice averaged just 4.04 million square kilometers (1.6 million square miles). Thats 1.19 m
28、illion square kilometers (0.46 million square miles) below the 1981 through 2010 average. And thats 280,000 square kilometers (108, 000 square miles) smaller than the previous (先前的)record low, set in 2006.The new record comes just two years after the largest January Antarctic sea ice size on record.
29、 Southern Hemisphere(南半球)sea ice had been growing by about 3 percent every ten years since recordkeeping began in 1979. However, there are a lot of year-to-year changes.“What causes the record-low iceand whether future years will similarly stop the growing trendis unclear,” James Pope once said. He
30、is a climate scientist with the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, England. “It is difficult to find what is causing the record low and whether anything important has changed,” he said. Researchers may not understand for years what caused the decrease in sea ice. “We will now study the data with
31、 interest and look at what is causing this record low,” he said.Meanwhile, in the Northern Hemisphere, where it is winter, Arctic sea ice is growing. But sea ice there set another record, just as the case in Antarctica. It had its smallest January size on record. That breaks the previous record - se

Theres no switch you can flip to truly motivate your children in fact. 31 Here are some
35、suggestions given by a scientist.Be a good listener. Kids with low motivation get frustrated easily, so its helpful to listen to them complain that the particular homework is hard. 32 “ If a child is avoiding homework,” the scientist says, “ its important to find out why rather than carry out a puni
