Emojis（表情符号）

Have you found that more and more people are using emojis to communicate online？For example，"Happy Birthday" has become a cake with lit candles．And "I am happy" has become a smiling face．

Emojis have been warmly welcomed since they were invented in the 1990s in Japan．According to a survey of a mobile technology company，6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day．Last year，20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US was the icon．It became the most widely﹣used icon in 2015．

Emojis are now used as "a new form of expression"，and one which can cross language barriers（障碍）．"Emojis are popular among millennials，who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s，because they welcome new technology and new things and they think emojis are‘flexible（灵活的）and show meanings beautifully'"，president of Oxford Dictionaries told The Wall Street Joural．

Since millennials became the biggest part in the American workforce（劳动力），emojis have been more accepted in the workplace．For many people，the tiny pictures also show that the users are part of mainstream（主流）society．In the digital age，emojis are"how most people communicate and show their personality many times every day．"

But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing．Jonathan Jones of The Guardian said that the success of emojis is"a step back for humans"，hurting people's ability to use languages．

"There are strict limits on what you can say with pictures﹣the written word is necessary to express your ideas and feelings to their highest level，"he said．

Do you believe that only boys do well in science？Does it seem to you that girls have better language skills than boys？In your opinion，are boys better at building things？If your answer to each of those questions is "Yes"，you are right．According to an article in Current Science．"There are exceptions（例外），but here are the facts．"

Usually，boys score higher on tests about math，while girls do better in tests about words，spelling and memory．But these differences may not always be true．In the future．a person's abilities may not be decided by sex．As one scientist says，"Nothing is impossible for a person to be or do．"

A recent study by Jerome Kagan，a scientist at Harward University is studying the watching ability of children 10 months old．Baby boys and baby girls are watching a "show" while seated on their mothers' laps．In ActⅠof the show，an orange﹣colored hall is lifted from a blue box and moved slowly．Then it is returned to the box．This is repeated six times．ActⅡis almost the same，except that the orange ball is smaller．

Baby boys do not seem to notice the difference in the size of the ball，but girls immediately become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language．

It's also known that baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than baby boys do．Scientists believe that the left side of the brain develops faster in girls than in boys．As a result，by the time they start to school，little girls have an advantage that boys don't have，but what have the boys been doing in the year before starting school？They have been developing something called aggression．An aggressive person feels strong and independent．He is often the first one to start a fight．It is said that aggression is caused by hormones（荷尔蒙）．Scientists believe that hormones are not the only cause．They say aggression in boys is also caused by mothers．

To solve the problem，food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen，if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice，then he can't do the job for a whole year.
