For millions of Facebook users, choosing which photo to use for an online profile is an important decision. According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center, the photos we select may reflect individual preferences, but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences.Previous research has shown that culture can affect not only language and custom, but also how we experience the world and process information. Western cultures，for example，condition people to think of themselves as highly independent entities (实体)，whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence.
Dr. Denise Park, co-director of the Center at UT Dallas, and former graduate student Dr. ChihMao Huang of the of , were curious about whether these patterns of cultural influence extend to cyberspace. In
a paper published in the International Journal of Psychology, they examined the profile photographs of more than 500 active Facebook users from the United States a nd East Asia. Overall, they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual's face，while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook
users.
The findings show marked cultural differences in the focus of
attention among East Asian and American Facebook users. Moreover, they echo previous research on cultural influences on visual perception(感知），attention, and reasoning in the offline world.
“We believe these findings relate to a cultural bias to be more
individualistic and independent in the US and more communal and interdependent in Asia”，said Park.
The research also found that cultural influences over our self-presentation online can shift over time and from place to place. In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan

He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by
Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and
respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday
of Pablo Neruda(1904—1973)．
Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a
major influence on his work.
However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a
son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up（掩饰） the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.
In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair”. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile(流亡) made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival,
and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a conference centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course.
“It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the practicality,” a government official who declined to be named said. The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and . There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧).It’s fun to come home.It looks the same.It smells the same.You’ll realize what’s changed is you.Home is where we can remember pain,love,and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes,I can still have a clear picture in mind of my
first home.I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table.To the right of the living room is my first bedroom.It’s empty,but it’s where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays,and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I
always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong.If I sit at this table,I can see my favorite room in

very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.
So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree.
Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help
him. Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.

Since we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human conditions is
our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions.Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without
such ties.Studies over types of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people defend
themselves against illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
