North Americans value independence, and Europeans value togetherness. I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago, when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph.D. student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked: "Coffee?" I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.

Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you're going through.

The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, I'd keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldn't exactly copy the results of another study. I didn't want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.

How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas don't just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. It's helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.

Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems? Probably not. But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that it's important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientist's life can feel isolating, but it's not necessarily so when you're connected to a supportive community.

Cheating is considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities. Colleges and universities across the US have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating.

We frequently hear about "the good old days", when Americans were better, happier, and more honest. But were they more honest? Maybe yes, a long time ago when life was very different from what it is today.

School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he'd overcharged a customer. It's the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true — unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Washington's first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax." What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.

And these are just two stories out of many. Students in the last century usually didn't read "fan" stories. They read stories that taught moral values. Such stories pointed out quite clearly that children who lied, cheated, or stole came to bad ends.

Parents may have further emphasized those values. It's difficult to know. We do know that children didn't hear their parents talk of cheating the government on income taxes — there weren't any. The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that reason, there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society.

Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty? There is some evidence that dishonesty may ebb and flow (起伏). When times are hard, incidents of theft and cheating usually go up. And when times get better such incidents tend to go down.

Cheating in school also tends to ebb and flow. But it doesn't seem linked to the economy. Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating — a person may feel "they don't trust me anyway," and be tempted to "beat the system." Distrust can be contagious (传染的). But, so can trust!

A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something amazing has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally and grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible. 

Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant (有抵抗力的) person.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, how one's ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

"I'm sorry" are two very important words playing a big part in daily life. You might apologize while pushing your way through a crowd or using the last of the printer paper at work. It's easy to say "I'm sorry", but true apologies are a different story. You may have trouble finding the right way to send meaningful apologies. Or you may wonder how to properly demand an apology if the other person is at fault?

Apologize sincerely.  It can even repair your reputation that you can be trusted. But your relationship will remain tense if your apology seems casual. So you have to be truly willing to apologize.

Apply specific principles. A meaningful apology comes down to the three R's — regret, responsibility and remedy (补救办法). Firstly, communicate your regret. Show the other person you have recognized your error and can sense his or her pain. Then take complete responsibility. Don't make excuses or blame the victim.  Offer to make up for the harm you caused or promise you wouldn't repeat it again.

Don't expect immediate forgiveness. Most people hope for immediate forgiveness while apologizing, but that may mean you don't respect the others' emotions and all you care about is yourself. So give them some time to come out of the pain after your apology.  

 If you're the offended one, describe what's changed in the relationship and your true feeling. For example, you could say, "Although there's a disagreement between you and me, I want us to be friends again. But I've been hurt, and I'd like an apology. I need you to acknowledge what you've done."

Have you ever thought about making a huge fortune from the things around you during your whole childhood? Actually, Zhang Yue is a person whose business became1in that way. 

The place where her success happens is her2, where Zhang grew roses to start her business. Surrounded by roses as she was growing up, she just looked on them as3things. It was only after graduating from university overseas and4to visit her parents that Zhang realized the5of her business — the conditions there are ideal to plant roses. Zhang therefore decided to stay in her hometown and grow roses, which6many people at the beginning.

As someone who grew up in the country, Zhang already knew7about growing plants.8, she had to overcome a number of obstacles in nursing her business to the success. The biggest9at the initial stage was that few villagers in the village believed she could10a multi-million yuan business from11. Her career didn't take a turning point until a major Asian manufacturer of cosmetics (化妆品)12purchase her product and help with its 13to the whole world. It was only then that the locals began to14her. Now her product is one of the best in Asia.

Like Zhang, an increasing number of young people are thinking of starting their own business. Seeing her peers who also dream of success and15, Zhang says, "To succeed in business, you need16a good idea, hard work and determination. What really17is a sound business plan, plenty of capital (资本) to18equipment, good management and promoting skills." She19, "Most of all, you should be20enough and consult the experienced business people."

The Book of Songs, also known  Shi Jing, is the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry. Three years ago, when Chinese musician Fang Jinlong read Shi Jing, he was interested in the stories told through the poems. Because he couldn't  (full) understand the ancient Chinese language used in the poems, he turned to experts  elaboration (详尽解释) further attracted him to explore the poems.

Then he decided to portray the poems with musical language by inviting composer Ma Jiuyue to create an album.  (title) Music and the Book of Songs, the album was released on Jan 18,  (feature) ten original songs composed by Ma. They were performed by Fang and won great  (popular).

The ten songs  (base) on ten poems from Shi Jing, including Qiong Yao, which conveys gratitude to people who are eager to help others, Swallows, which sends farewell messages to friends and Jia Yu, which portrays the scenes of a joyful banquet (宴会).

"Young people gave warm feedback about traditional Chinese music after they had watched my performance. It inspired me to create more  (work) for them, which helps popularize traditional Chinese music," says Fang.

"The ten pieces sound  (enjoy) and easy. For the listeners, it's a fresh way to comprehend poems from Shi Jing," says Ma. "We spent three years working on the project. There are so many meanings in the poems and we want to display them as deep as possible with music," Ma says. " is our mutual (共同的) goal to have traditional Chinese music reach a wider audience."

Dear Tom,

I'm delight to introduce you something about Chinese cultural heritage.

Hard-working and intelligently, Chinese people have made great contributions to the world civilization. Nowadays, many Chinese cultural heritage sites were preserved very well. If you have a chance to travel to China, I recommend yourself to visit Beijing and Xi'an, where many cultural sites are worth visited. Apart from the cultural heritage sites, the natural scenery in Guilin is such beautiful that you will be deeply impressed. Besides, some simple folk custom in the villages in Yunnan province are likely to remind you the good old days. During the time living a harmonious life with the nature in the villages, as you know, are of great benefit.

Yours,

Li Hua
