11、 However, loneliness is not only an issue for teens but also an important and rarely acknowledged one in the elderly.In Britain, Tracey Crouch was appointed to be the first Minister of Loneliness in order to address the issues caused by loneliness. This is the first time such a position has been cre

16、ovide education services to household businesses so that they can identify lonely customers if they see one.

Actually, there is the endle

20、ss potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge securing yourself a boring, low-paying job.This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part goo

21、d looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.Researchers carried out fo

22、ur experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions d

Unlike the PC, it doesnt require former knowledge.”James Cordwell, a researcher in London, says

41、the iPads popularity with seniors is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The worlds population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. Its probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Senior users are a key source of growth for them in

42、 the future.Seniors make. up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an

The response was seen in both men and womeneven if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it,

50、but its not true.
