Electric Vehicles:Can 'Lightweighting' Cmbat Range Anxiety?
It seems like a simple enugh chice. The widespread use f electric vehicles(EVs) culd cntribute t the effrts twarming.Butl warming.But many mtrists are still chsing (2l) technlgy.Whilehis lw-carbn technlgy.While EV uptake has been rapid, it's been slwer than sme carmakers expected.
There are many reasns why peple are nt mving t EVs as quickly as expected. This includes price, charging infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)and cncerns abut(22) they can travel-S-called "range anxiety."Drivers want t be able t charge and g in the same time(23) takes t fill a tank with petrl, and they want the same mileage per charge f the battery. But with tday's lithium-in batteries (鋰離子電池), EVs can nly g s far.
Nw, there are signs that sme aut cmpanies are lking fr innvative ways t vercme these bstacles t adptin. Their slutin?Make cars lighter.
"Every gram f that weight reductin imprves range, "says Andrew Pliak, U. S. chief technlgy fficer f Panasnic Autmtive. The cmpany says it has develped cmpnents that weigh between 30 t 60 percent less (24) affecting perfrmance. These, including the speakers and audi system used in cars, can draw 60 percent less pwer frm the car.
In 2023,Panasnic released five-centimeter-thick speakers,(25) ability t prduce sund is typically matched by speakers in the dr that are three times as thick, and that fit int a car's dashbard. The technlgy remved significant weight in the drs. Nw, Pliak says, Panasnic is dubling dwn n that cncept t further lighten the weight inside vehicles.
Anther majr carmaker, Hnda, is lking at a different key cmpnent in EVs- the battery itself-as part f its effrt t reduce weight. It(26) (make)a large number f investments in develping slid-state batteries. The batteries are smaller and lighter than the cnventinal lithium-in batteries currently used in mst EVs n the rad. The battery technlgy als has the ability t charge faster and is (27) (likely)t be damaged by verheating resulting frm fast-charging.
This brings added benefits, says Hnda spkespersn Chris Martin. Nt having t wrry abut the batter verheating means it (28) nt need the same safety features arund it. This wuld serve t further lighten the car.
Lighter-weight cmpnents culd help t bring the cst f EVs dwn, t. "I think it's certain that(29) the technlgy advances, the csts fr an EV will g dwn, "says Pliak. The questin that remains, hwever, is (30) peple will think much lighter electric cars really can g the distance.

Technlgy Is Secretly Stealing Yur Time. Here's Hw t Get It Back
Technlgy is suppsed t simplify ur lives. Smartphnes prvide a palm-size windw n the wrld, enabling us t d almst anything with a mere 3l .Smart hmes manage themselves, and virtual meetings mean that cmmuting is a thing f the past fr many. S, we shuld have mre time t sleep, relax r simply enjy a mment f ding nthing, right?
Hwever, grwing evidence suggests that while digital technlgy indeed helps us save sme time, we ften end up using that saved time t d mre things.An interview with peple acrss Eurpe revealed that previusly"empty"mments, such as waiting fr a bus r lying in bed, are nw filled with 32 activities.
The grwth in digital tasks is partly due t hw technlgy is changing ur 33 f free time. Fr many peple,it is n lnger enugh t simply eat dinner, watch TV r maybe d an exercise class. Instead, in an attempt t avid 'wasting"time, they ften d these activities while brwsing the Web in search f the 34 fr a perfect life and a sense f achievement.
These changes are als thught t be 35 wrk, Hme and hybrid(混合的)wrking, enabled by vide cnferencing technlgy, have blurred the bundaries between wrk time and persnal time. With the ffice nw just a rm away, it is tempting t think, "I’ll just finish this up after putting the kids t bed. "
Digital technlgies are speeding up the pace f life, but 36 technlgy can als frce us t d mre wrk because f the inefficiency that it creates. We have all encuntered the frustratin f entering data int system A nly t find that it dcs nt 37 with system B, frcing us t reenter the same infrmatin in bth.
By ding mre, we may end up achieving less and feeling wrse, T break free f the habit f filling time with mre and mre tasks, we need t first accept that smetimes it is kay t d less r nthing at all.
In the wrk envirnment, emplyers and emplyees alike need t create an envirnment in which 38 is acceptable. This means setting realistic expectatins abut what can be achieved in a typical wrkday.
Mrever, technlgy itself may hld the key t 39 ur time, Imagine if, instead f telling yu t stand up and mve arund (yet anther task), yur smartwatch reminded yu t stp wrking because yu had reached yur 40 wrk hurs. Perhaps when technlgy starts t tell us t d less, we will finally be able t regain cntrl f ur time.

One f the strangest and mst tantalizing ideas in psychtherapy is that f the 'repetitin cmpulsin. 'This tells us that, as a result f certain traumas (精神創(chuàng)傷)that have nt been prperly understd and 4l we will be inclined t keep putting urselves back int, and in effect, repeating difficult situatins frm the past that run 42 t ur emtinal needs in the present.

Or we might cnstantly wind up in jbs where we try t please a tricky bss, but then we're rejected by them and 44 dismissed .
But there's a subtle difference here.We are nt generally simply 45 an awful situatin and then attempting t repeat the whle f it.

Hallween's rigins can be traced back t the ancient Celtic festival knwn as Samhain, which was held n Nvember 1 in cntemprary calendars. It was believed that n that day, the suls f the dead returned t their hmes, s peple dressed in cstumes and lit bnfires t ward ff spirits. In this way, ppular Hallween trpes such as witches,ghsts,and gblins became assciated with the hliday.

Thugh the hliday began in Celtic regins f Ireland, the United Kingdm, and France, it quickly spread t ther parts f the wrld. The first American clnists in New England were frbidden t celebrate it fr religius reasns,thugh it enjyed sme ppularity in the Suthern clnies.

By 1950, trick-r-treating fr candy had becme ne f Hallween's mst ppular activities.

It is in a cmpany's interest t keep its emplyees happy.A gd mentring scheme can serve this purpse.
Wrkplace mentring has lng been an infrmal affair, disguised as a chat by the cffee machine r a trip t a bar with a lnger-serving and mre senir clleague.

Schemes shuld be self-managed with the junir party taking the lead in arranging discussins which are always cnfidential. It is best t let emplyees chse the persn with whm they wuld mst like t discuss their career .Requested mentrs can be flattered but still decline.
Whether it is lunch, drinks r a chat in the car park, mentring's benefits are undeniable if it fsters a friendlier!culture, staff retentin and the develpment f talented emplyees.

Researchers Are Ouestining if ADHD Shuld Be Seen as a Disrder
It is"like being inside a pinball( 彈 球 )machine with a hundred balls, "says Lucy. "Three inner dialgues, "says Phillip. "Like several tracks playing at the same time, "says Sarah. This is hw peple with attentin-deficit hyperactivity disrder(ADHD,注意力不集中癥)describe what is ging n in their heads at any given mment. With s many thughts striving fr attentin, it is a struggle t cncentrate.
Althugh the number f ADHD diagnses is rising fast in many cuntries, fr a grwing number f experts, the evlving scientific understanding f ADHD is leading them t questin whether it shuld be seen as a disrder at all.Instead, they say, ADHD may simply represent anther pint n the range f neurdiversity:the range f different ways f thinking and behaving that cunt as nrmal. They pint t ther,nn-pharmaceutical(與藥物無關(guān)的) interventins that have been shwn t make a difference t peple with symptms.
Researchers have shwn that changes in a persn's envirnment can have dramatic benefits. Children d better in life if parents and teachers prvide a supprtive, warm envirnment with structure and rewards fr academic and behaviural achievements, Fr many adults, ADHD symptms"g undergrund"when they are in jbs and relatinships that play t their strengths.
Far mre can be achieved if schls and wrkplaces are redesigned t accmmdate thse with symptms f ADHD rather than expecting thse individuals t adapt t their envirnments. In schls, clsing classrm drs and windws cuts distracting nise, rganizing lessns t include standing and mving helps children wh find it hard t sit still fr a full perid. Dr Dyle, wh advises emplyers n hw t accmmdate neurdiversity, has fund that the things emplyees with ADHD and ther neurdiverse cnditins find mst helpful are free-such as flexibility t wrk frm hme r t chse the hurs f the day t spend at the ffice.
Whether such interventins can, n their wn, cpy the success f medicatin remains t be seen. But they culd make life easier fr the many peple with ADHD-like symptms wh turn t medicatin t fix prblems created by their circumstances rather than their bilgy.
