3、ice for you if you own an iPhone.If you do have an iPhone,you may wonder why the Apple Watch 6 doesnt take our title of the very best smartwatch?Thats because the Apple Watch SE does almost everything that smartwatch can,but for a much lower price.The Apple Watch SE comes with a high-end design and
4、a great range of features that you cant get on every other smartwatch right now.The battery life isnt the best on the market based on our tests,and there isnt an always-on display,but if youre after a great value for money choice for your next wrist companion you should opt for the Apple Watch SE.2.
5、Samsung Galaxy Watch 4The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a wearable that had a lot of publicity around it.This sees Samsung return to Wear OS,having used Tizen for recent models.But this isnt Wear OS as you might know it its a new take on the operating system,designed alongside Samsung,and with a very Ti
6、zen-like skin on the top.Add to that great performance,what we found to be a comfortable fit,a lightweight build,and interesting new body composition measurement tools,and this makes for a top smartwatch,especially for those interested in tracking their health and fitness.But with some of its featur
7、es requiring a Samsung phone,and no support for iPhones,the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 isnt something we can recommend to everyone.It also arguably isnt worth upgrading to if you already own a recent Galaxy Watch.3.Apple Watch 62 The Apple Watch 6 hasnt taken the top spot in our best smartwatch list,but
8、 this is the absolute best device you can get if you own an iPhone.Why isnt it ranked above the Apple Watch SE?Because its a lot more expensive than that option.It isnt a huge upgrade over the Apple Watch 5 though.There are new features like blood oxygen monitoring and an upgraded chipset,but largel
9、y its a similar device with the exact same screen and design.That said,if youre after an Apple Watch this is the best from the company ever,we just found the lack of any major upgrades a slight disappointment.1.What is a disadvantage of the Apple Watch SE?A.It has a poor range of featuresB.The displ

16、ggests that the most sensible way for a school to prepare its students for the big wide world is simply to copy it.The“sink or swim”approach.“Look at those poor cosseted(宠爱)kids wearing armbands(充气臂圈).”“In the real world no ones going to carefully explain to you how to read!”But,surely,the fact that
17、 people are often rude,and sometimes violent and criminal,in the real world doesnt mean that its necessarily a sound idea to encourage those things inside a school.This is how Murphy explained his new rule:“While I dont want teachers to be soft,I also dont want them to be shouty and make pupils feel

35、itect,seizing the spiders with their front legs and injecting them with poison.While watching two species of assassin bugs hunt spiders,ecologists Anne Wignall and Fernando Soley took note of the bugs habit of lightly knocking their antennae on spiders once the bugs were within striking distance.“It
36、 struck us early on that tapping prey was a really strange thing to do,”says Wignall.Spiders could easily defend themselves and kill the bugs.“Watching the bugs spend so much time and effort on avoiding detection,only to practically tap the spiders on the shoulder was absolutely fascinating.”To figu
37、re out why the bugs tap,Wignall and Soley tested the behavior of 30 spiders in the laboratory.The researchers copied the bugs antennae tapping by gently brushing the spiders leg with a dog hair.After the tapping,the team measured the spiders responses to movements on the web,copying a struggling ins

39、 the types of physical touch that these typically solitary(独 处 的)spiders experience near fellow spiders.“Whenever they do come across another spider,its usually because its a close relative in the nest,or a potential mate.Both of which are situations in which aggression would not be a good idea,”she
40、 says.Zoologist Ondej Michlek,who was not involved with the study,says that the researchers have a“completely valid theory.”Many spiders avoid cannibalism(同类相食)by using special touch signals that could be copied by skilful predators,thus tricking the spiders,he says.12.What is unusual about assassin

44、Some tips help for almost every subject.For example,dont just cram!And test yourself,instead of just rereading the material.Here are 4 tips to tweak your study habits.1.Space out your studyingNate Kornell,a psychologist at Williams College,thinks its a good idea to study the day before a big test._1
45、6_.Instead,space out those study sessions.Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak.Try to refill the bucket while its still full,and you cant add much more water.Allow time between study sessions,and some of the material may drip out of your memory._17_.And youll rememb

47、one 2013 study,students took practice tests over several weeks.On the final test,they scored more than a full letter grade better,on average,than did students who studied the way they normally had.3.Test yourself6 That 2010 study backs up one of Nebels preferred study habits.Before big tests,her mom
48、 quizzed her on the material.“Now I know that was retrieval practice,”she says.“Its one of the best ways you can study.”As Nebel got older,she quizzed herself.For example,she might cover up the definitions in her notebook.Then she tried to recall what each term meant.“_19_,”Sana suggests.“Put questi
49、ons on one side and the answers on the other side.”Friends can even quiz each other on the phone,she says.“Try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions,”Nebel adds.4.Dig deeperIts hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you dont push further.Ask why things are a certain way.How
50、did they come about?Why do they matter?Psychologists call this elaboration.Its taking class material and“asking a lot of how and why questions about it,”Nebel says.In other words,dont just accept facts at face value._20_.And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one anot
