8、d the world. In my personal world, its a day I like to think of my fathers father.I learned a lot in my later life from my dad. But I learned something else, as a kid not even yet in school, from my grandfather. I learned to be curious. Little things fathers and grandfathers do can change the life o

9、f a child forever. In my case, this change came from necessity: My mom needed someone to look after little Allen, barely 4 years old, during the school day. My grandmother volunteered, and my grandfather came up with a way I could be watched while he worked in his clockmakers shop.He seated me on a

10、chair every day while I was there, right in front of his big workbench. He told me stories. He had a great sense of humor and a funny way of making a buh-buh-buh sound when he sensed my attention was weakening, and he encouraged me to ask questions about anything he was doing.Naturally, I was usuall

11、y asking questions about clocks-what made the hands move, what the pendulum(钟摆) did, why you had to stop winding just before the weight hit the stop. Sometimes I just asked about which shiny parts went where.Most of all, he showed me how clocks worked. He treated me as if I were a sort of small grow

12、n-up. He never talked down to me, never told me I was too young to understand.And so my grandfather granted me two things: A love of clocks, and an everlasting curiosity.As a journalist, I turned that fascination into explanations of why computers and software do what they doand, perhaps even more i

13、mportantly, why they fail at that task. I havent been afraid of opening up the innards and looking for what is wrong with the computer.4The author loves his grandfather because .Ahe learned a lot from himBhe told some stories to make him joyfulChe was brought up by his grandfatherDhis father seldom

16、Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donators will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few

17、use soap at so-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Childrens Fund, American government agenci

18、es, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing bacterium. They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub (揉搓) it into all areas, includ

19、ing under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps

20、 to break up the dirt that holds most of the bacterium. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell.

24、s and e-mails lack emotion compared to phone or face-to-face conversations. But one thing seems to improve it the emoticon(表情符).These little symbols whether its a wink(眨眼); -), a smiley : -) or a sad face :-( - always add a little something to whatever you are sending out, making it more expressive

25、than cold words on a screen.To be sure, emoticons have changed the way that we communicate with each other. But there is more: a new study found that they are even changing how our brains work we now react to emoticons in the same way as we would to real human faces, reported Live Science.Its actual

26、ly amazing when you start to think about it: what an emoticon consists of is simply three punctuation marks(标点符号) on their own, they carry no meaning as a pair of eyes, a nose or a mouth, but after they were first put together as symbols for faces in 1982, they began to appear more and more in our w

27、ritten materials.Owen Churches, a scientist at Flinders University in Australia, wanted to find out what people see in emoticons that make them so popular. So he showed 20 participants images of real faces, a smiley emoticon and a series of meaningless characters while their brain activities were mo

28、nitored.Previous studies have already shown that our brains process human faces differently than they do other objects they analyze the position of the mouth relative to the nose and the eyes to “read” for emotions. As a result, certain parts of our brain, such as the occipital-temporal cortex, are

29、activated(激活).When Churches compared participants brain activities, he was surprised to find that the brain areas that were activated when people looked at smiley emoticons were the same as when they were shown pictures of real faces.According to Churches, this is a good example of how culture is sh

30、aping our brains. “Emoticons are a new form of language that were producing,” Churches told ABC Science. “Before 1982 there would be no reason that :-) would activate face-sensitive areas of the cortex, but now it does because weve learnt that this represents a face.”Next time you chat with your fri

Itll be almost like youre smiling or winking at them yourself.12According to the article, Owen Churches research mainly focuses on .Athe influence of emoticons on communicationBvarious messages that emoticons can carryChow the human brain reco
