9、 to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diegos City Heights neighborhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. When Deka was eight
10、 years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to ones life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didnt do many of the things her peers did, like partying or hav
11、ing romantic relationships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to do your best and do much better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Dekas efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school,
12、 she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had
13、done anything similar.”When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Dont tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or Ill never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make i

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if t
17、he Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of
18、 people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In ano
19、ther experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they
20、 do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are

25、ies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this:
26、staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as muchand there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the schemes success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lu
