11、air pollution is that its been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People dont realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” Londons poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 ear

15、er.“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought.

Unlike language, digital communication can be filled

24、with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.“As soon as people arent talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by usin

These drinks are typically aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players.Makers

31、 sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine raises your heartbeat.

37、 levels of optimism and other factors that might play a role in how optimism may affect mortality risk, such as race, high blood pressure, diet, and physical activity.It found the most optimistic women, or the top 25%, had a nearly 30 percent lower risk of dying from any of the diseases analyzed in

Chan School of Public Health and co-lead author of the study.“Our new findings suggest that we

41、 should make efforts to boost optimism, which has been shown to be associated with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of coping with life challenges.”The study also found that healthy behaviors only partially explain the link between optimism and reduced mortality risk. One other possibility is

42、that higher optimism directly affects our biological systems, Kim said.Co-lead author and postdoctoral research fellow Kaitlin Hagan said optimism can be varied with relatively uncomplicated and low-cost interventions (干预), even things as simple as having people write down and think about the best p

47、 make sure your clothes dont fall off.To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button.

48、ssion related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional.

49、 a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them in a spoken conversation. Now, lets say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you cant take it any longer. You tell t

50、he person to button it!
