Beer recipes change over time. Hops, for example—which give many a modern brewski its bitter, citrusy flavor—are a relatively recent addition to the beverage, first mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a surprising ingredient in residue(殘留物） from 5000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While excavating two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered pottery fragments from pots, funnels, amphorae, and stoves (stove fragment pictured). The different shapes of the containers suggest they were used to brew, filter, and store beer—they may be ancient “beer-making toolkits,” and the earliest direct evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To test that hypothesis, the team examined the yellowish, dried remains inside the vessels. The majority of the grains—about 80%—were from cereal crops like barley(大麥）, and about 10% were bits of roots, including lily, which would have made the beer sweeter,the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: The crop was domesticated in western Eurasia and didn’t become a staple food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have arrived in the region not as food, but as raw mat erial for beer brewing .

As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can exhaust not only your muscles, but also your eyes. Fear not, however, for coffee can perk them right up again. During vigorous exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a phenomenon called “central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements effectively. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly involved in the exercise itself—such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteers a carbohydrate solution either with a moderate dose of caffeine—which is known to stimulate the central nervous system—or as a placebo without, during 3 hours of cycling. After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still control their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, preventing their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine—the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee—was sufficient to counteract this effect, with some cyclists even displaying increased eye movement speeds, the team reports today in Scientific Reports. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.

America's Internet is faster than ever before but peole still complain about their Internet being too slow.
New York's Attorney General's office launched an investigation in the fall into whether or not Verizon, Cablevision and Time Warner are delivering broadband that's as fast as the providers claim it is. Earlier this month, the office asked for the public's help crowdsourcing speed results, saying consumers deserved to get the speeds they were promised. 'Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another,' the Attorney General said .
If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn't be the first time a telecom provider go into trouble over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers.Baclk in June,the Federal Communications Commission fined AT&T $100 million over accusations that the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of data
Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers draw customers' ire over bandwidth speed and cost. Just this week, an investigation conducted by Ars Technica found that media and telecom behemoth Comcast is the most hated provider, Over a roughly 10-month stretch, Comcast racked up nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many relating to its monthly data cap and overage charges.
Some Americans are getting so worried with Ineternet providers they're are just giving up A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at the home today actually fell during the last two years,and15% of people now consider themselves to be'cord-cutters'

After he becoming president of Purdue University in 2013, Mitch Daniels asked the faculty to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education’s most important goals: critical thinking skills. Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no significant gains in such mental abilities during their school yeas . Mr. Daniels, needed to justify the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families. After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is “very important” has fallen drastically in the last 5-6 years.
Purdue now has a pilot test to assess the critical thinking skills of students as they progress. Yet like many college teachers around the United States, the faculty remain doubtful that their work as educators can be measured by a “l(fā)earning outcome such as a graduate’s ability to investigate and reason.However the professors can use standardized metrics to measure how well students do in three key areas: critical thinking, written communication, and quantitative literacy.
Despite the success of the experiment,the actual results are worrisome, and mostly confirm earlier studies. The organizers Of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on a critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or quantitative literacy.” And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.
American universities, despite their global reputation for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world learning. Knowledge-based degrees are still important. But employers are demanding advanced thinking skills from college graduate.If the intellectual worth of a college degree can beaccurately more people will seek higher education – and come out better thinkers.

If I am asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, I would definitely be in favor of attending a university. Compared with vocational colleges, universities can be beneficial to students in more ways than one.
The university, with its powerful, systemic professional capacity of research and development, can provide students theoretical knowledge, which is essential to almost every aspect of industry. Theoretical knowledge is what really pushes the frontier forward in almost any field, but the skills taught by vocational colleges may fail to move it forward. A scientist named Thomas Edison will suffice to be a perfect example to illustrate my point. It was only with a deeper understanding of what electricity behaves that he was finally able to establish electricity as a powerful tool. If those who opposed his invention was armed with the same knowledge as he did, they would have realized the worth of electricity.
From what has been discussed with the reasons, a conclusion cannot be more evident that it is better for students to attend a university. As a generation of the twenty-first century, we should attend a university to get pursue knowledge that is theoretical and deeper.

Half of your brain stays alert and prepared for danger when you sleep in a new place, a study has revealed.
This phenomenon is ofen indentified to as the 'first-night-effect' .Researchers from Brown University found that a network in the left hemisphere of the brain 'remained more active' than the network in the right side of the brain.Playing sounds into the right ears (stimulating the left hemisphere) of volunteers was more likely to wake them up than if the noises were played into their left ear
It was specifically observed that the brain was more active during deep sleep. When the researchers repeated the laboratory experiment on the second and third nights they found the left hemisphere could not be stimulated in the same way during deep sleep.The researchers explained that the study demonstrated 'when we are in a novel environment, the brain partly remains alert so that humans can defend themselves against any potential danger.
The researchers believes this is the first time that the 'first-night-effect' of different brain states has been identified in humans. It isn't, however, the first time it has ever been seen. Some animal species also display this phenomenon . For example, dolphins,as well as other marine animals shut down one hemisphere of the brain when they go to sleep . A previous study noted that
dolphins always consciously control their breating, Without keeping the brain active while sleeping,they would probably down.But,as the human study suggest,another reason for dophins keeping their eyes
open during sleep is that they can look out for predators while asleep.It also keeps their physiological processes working.

If I am asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, I would definitely be in favor of attending college abroad. Compared with studying at home, attending college abroad can be beneficial to students in more ways than one.
To Start with, overseas universities can broaden the horizon for those who go abroad to pursue their education. As globalization furthers into a deeper level, the world has virtually evolved into a “village”, so we can never just stay in just one small corner of the world. Furthermore, the diversity of cultures that foreign universities provide their students can bring valuable cultural understanding. Surrounded by the classmates of different cultural backgrounds while lectured by professors of even more various of scholarly talents, students will develop better capacities.
From what has been discussed with the reasons, a conclusion cannot be more evident that it is better for students to attend college abroad. As a generation of twenty-first century, let’s open our arms to embrace the bigger world.

Tang Dynasty, starting in 618 CE and ending in 907 CE, was the most glorious period in Chinese history. After three hundred years of development, Tang became the most prosperous country in the world, its capital, Chang’an city, being the largest metropolis of the world. In this period, the economy was thriving, the trade was flourishing, the social order was stable, and border areas were even opened. With the growth of urban wealth, art and literature enjoyed prosperity. Li Bai and Du Fu were famous for their succinct and natural poetry which tugged at the heartstrings of scholars and ordinary people. Even today, works of theirs are still being read and recited by adults and children alike.

Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues (獨(dú)白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain focused better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.
According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to trigger mental pictures helps people function quicker.
In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty volunteers and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were Ededicated to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips Jsealed . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that Muttering the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.
Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve apparently matured is not a great sign of brilliance . The two professors hope to refute that idea, claiming that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.
Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any O volume , there’s still such a thing as too much information.

If I am asked to give advice on whether to major in science or humanities at college, I would definitely be in favor of majoring in science. Compared with humanities, science has played and will be playing a greater role in pushing the world forward in more ways than one.
To start with, science has been credited with making the world a better place to live in. Almost all inventions are related with science, and it is with these inventions that we, human beings, can live comfortably in the world. Just imagine the greatest invention: airplanes, without which we would be confined to our own corners of the world. However, majoring in humanities may have its own advantages, but these advantages cannot push the world forward and make our life better.
From what has been illustrated through the example of airplanes, a conclusion can be crystal clear that it is better for students to major in science rather than in humanities. As a generation of the twenty-first century, we should relentlessly pursue scientific knowledge to make the world better.

明朝統(tǒng)治中國(guó)276年，被人們描繪成人類歷史上治理有序、社會(huì)穩(wěn)定的最偉大的時(shí)代之一。這一時(shí)期，手工業(yè)的發(fā)展促進(jìn)了市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)和城市化。大量商品，包括酒和絲綢，都在市場(chǎng)銷售。同時(shí)，還進(jìn)口許多外國(guó)商品，如時(shí)鐘和煙草。北京、南京、揚(yáng)州、蘇州這樣的大商業(yè)中心相繼形成。也是在明代，由鄭和率領(lǐng)船隊(duì)曾到印度洋進(jìn)行了七次大規(guī)模探險(xiǎn)航行。還值得一提的是，中國(guó)文學(xué)四大名著中有三部寫于明朝。
Ming Dynasty ruled China for 276 years, and was described as a well-ordered, socially stable era in human history. In this period, the development of handicraft industry promoted market economy and urbanization. Large numbers of goods, including wine and silk, were in market for sale, while many foreign goods, such as clocks and tobacco, were imported. A series of trading centers like Beijing, Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Suzhou came to exist. It was also in Ming Dynasty that the seven sea adventures led by Zheng He were made into India Ocean. Also worth mentioned is that three of Four Great Classical Novels were written in Ming Dynasty.
