The popularity of some dialects in some areas will not challenge the leading role of Mandarin in the whole country.Rick N (US): TV a
11、nd radio broadcasters should take the lead in popularizing Mandarin. To require hosts to speak standard Mandarin is not to oppress (压制) dialects, but it only aims to restrict irresponsible use of language. I think it is unprofessional for some hosts particularly to imitate the pronunciation of diale
12、cts.Cooper (UK): Dialects are an important part of local culture and now many kids even dont know how to speak their dialects because of the main use of Mandarin around them. It would be a pity if future generations were unable to understand the local dialects. It would be a terrible break in cultur
13、al traditions.Steve (France): To attract viewers or make more money, some hosts casually use dialects. Demanding TV and radio programs use Mandarin is a move to limit strange and irresponsible use of language, whether it is Mandarin or other dialects. In this way, the decision is also a form of prot

And, you know well that you should tip about 15-20% at restaurants, but do the same rules apply to delivery drivers?The co-founder of Grubhub, Matt Maloney, pretty much set the standard for tipping delivery people in a Facebook post. Hes a strong supporter of tipping, and Grubhubs we
18、bsite suggests a $5 or a 20% tip. Maloney also said this number should go up if you order during, say, a snowstorm.However, most other delivery services say on their websites that tipping is not required. Some services, like Door Dash, do suggest no tip on their checkout window. Many, like Amazon Pr
19、ime Now, allow customers to change their tip amount after their delivery has been received to reflect the quality of service. These companies help customers save money but delivery drivers are upset. They deal with bad weather, heavy traffic, extreme tiredness, and more, all for a $1 tip. Many feel
20、that if youd tip your pizza boy or girl, you should tip your delivery driver.The Emily Post Institute (EPI)s official suggestion falls in line with Maloneys: “10-15% of the bill, or $2-5 for pizza delivery depending on the size of the order and difficulty of delivery.”Just like servers in a restaura
21、nt, delivery drivers almost always rely on your tips for their income. Tipping is a long-standing cultural tradition in America.

Supportive.C Depression(抑郁) can be a destructive illness, plaguing millions of people worldwide with feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and fatigue. Despite numerous antidepress
24、ant drugs, as many as a third of patients dont respond to medication. This has forced doctors to be more creative in finding different treatments for the condition.In the past two decades, researchers have tied depression to a seemingly unrelated condition: inflammation(炎症), the bodys natural respon
25、se to stress. It could rise from injury or inflection, or even emotional issues like an unhappy marriage or problems at work. Some amount of inflammation is generally beneficial, as it increases production of cytokines(致癌因子)，proteins that help us heal and protect us from the effects of overwork.But
26、excessive cytokine levels, and the inflammation they bring on, could come at a costa number of studies suggests that high levels of cytokines could contribute to depression.Cytokines can reach the brain several ways: directly through the blood-brain barrier or indirectly by binding to nerve fibers e
27、lsewhere, which send signals to the brain to produce the inflammation molecules. In the brain, cytokines can disturb the production and release of several important signaling chemicals, including serotonin, dopamine and glutamate, which help control emotion, appetite, sleep, learning and memory. Its
28、 thought that a lack of serotonin activity in the brain causes depression; most antidepressants increase the activity. But cytokines also have been shown to activate stress hormone signaling in the brain, which may also serve to develop depression.With all the evidence implicating inflammation in de
29、pression, doctors have been anxious to test anti-inflammatory drugs as a potential treatment. Four small studies published between 2006 and 2017 by research groups in Europe and Iran found that adults diagnosed with depression who took aspirin or another anti-inflammatory drug called Celecoxib, alon
30、g with an antidepressant, got more relief from feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt and fatigue compared with those taking an antidepressant alone. However, Andrew Miller, a professor of psychiatry at Emory University, thought something was wrong in these small, limited studies. None of them loo
31、ked at whether the participants had high levels of cytokines before theyd see a benefit from anti-inflammatory drugs. “Unfortunately, much of the field has fallen into the trap of viewing inflammation as the be-all, end-all,” Miller says. He and his colleagues wanted to see whether the effect of the
