Ways to make people like you

想人見人愛先自我洗腦

If you want to make a great first impression - and why wouldn't you? - you know there are basic steps you can take: Smile, make eye contact, listen more than you talk, ask questions about the other person.?

要想給人留下很好的第一印象(為什么不呢?)，你可以采取幾個常規(guī)套路：微笑，進(jìn)行眼神交流，少說多聽，詢問關(guān)于對方的問題。

Anyone can do those things. But what you might not know is that if you think other people are going to like you, they usually will.?

每個人都能做到這些。但你可能不知道，如果你認(rèn)為對方會喜歡你，通常對方真的會喜歡你。

As research shows, interpersonal warmth explains the self-fulfilling prophecy of anticipated acceptance; study participants who expected to be accepted were perceived as more likable.?

研究表明，人際溫暖解釋了自我應(yīng)驗(yàn)的預(yù)期接納預(yù)言；希望被認(rèn)可的研究對象被認(rèn)為更討人喜歡。

Or in non-researcher speak, when you think other people will like you, you act more naturally and come across as friendlier - which then makes people like you more since we tend to like warm, friendly people.?

用通俗的語言說就是當(dāng)你認(rèn)為別人會喜歡你時，你會表現(xiàn)得更自然，看起來更友善——這會讓你更討人喜歡，因?yàn)槿藗兺ǔ８嗖A熱情友好的人。

So how can you convince yourself that people will like you? Positive self-talk like "they're going to love me!" won't cut it.?

那你怎么才能說服自己是人見人愛的呢？積極的自我對話，如"他們會愛我的"是不夠的。

Instead, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and commit to taking a few steps that ensure almost anyone will like you.?

而應(yīng)該這么做：閉上眼睛，深吸一口氣，并堅(jiān)持使用幾個讓你人見人愛的招數(shù)。

The secret behind the Pisa

研究揭比薩塔不倒之謎

New research has revealed how the Italian iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa has managed to stay standing – and intact – in the face of four strong earthquakes and a precarious lean of five degrees.?

近日，最新研究揭開了有著5度不穩(wěn)定傾斜度的意大利標(biāo)志性建筑物比薩斜塔在歷經(jīng)4次強(qiáng)震后依舊屹立不倒、完好無損的原因。

A research group of 16 engineers at the University of Bristol has now discovered that the considerable height and stiffness of the Tower, combined with the softness of the foundation soil, ensure it doesn't resonate with earthquake ground motion.?

英國布里斯托爾大學(xué)一個由16名工程師組成的研究小組如今發(fā)現(xiàn)，比薩斜塔可觀的高度及其堅(jiān)硬的建筑材料與松軟的地基土壤結(jié)合在一起，確保它不會與地震發(fā)生時的地表活動產(chǎn)生共振。

"Ironically, the very same soil that caused the leaning instability and brought the Tower to the verge of collapse, can be credited for helping it survive these seismic events," said Professor Mylonakis, head of the Earthquake and Geotechnical Engineering Research Group at the University of Bristol.

布里斯托爾大學(xué)地震與巖土工程研究小組負(fù)責(zé)人米洛納基教授說："令人啼笑皆非的是，導(dǎo)致斜塔傾斜不穩(wěn)、幾近傾倒的土壤也是幫助它挺過這些地震的功臣?！?/p>

Squirrels store food in cars

松鼠把汽車當(dāng)'糧倉'囤松果

A Michigan resident was stunned to discover 50 pounds of pine cones stashed under the hood of his vehicle. Gabe Awrey, a manager at a nearby restaurant said his friend Kellen Moore came into work at the restaurant with a strange look on his face.?

近日，密歇根一位居民驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的汽車引擎蓋下竟藏著50磅的松果。附近一家餐館的經(jīng)理加布?奧維利表示，他的朋友凱倫?穆爾日前來餐廳上班時，臉上的表情很奇怪。

After asking what had happened, Awrey walked along with Moore to his recently purchased car, opened the hood and discovered the engine bay packed with pine cones.?

奧維利在詢問發(fā)生什么事后，和穆爾一起走到穆爾剛買的車旁。他們打開汽車的引擎蓋，發(fā)現(xiàn)發(fā)動機(jī)機(jī)艙里塞滿了松果。

It took the two about 45 minutes to clear the engine bay of debris. "He bought this car used about a month and a half ago. There were none then," Awrey said. Awrey and Moore both agree the squirrels are responsible for the stockpile.?

兩人花了約45分鐘才將發(fā)動機(jī)艙內(nèi)的雜物清理干凈。奧維利稱，穆爾買下這輛車后才剛開了約一個半月，那時還沒有這些松果。兩人都認(rèn)為這些松果是松鼠存的。

"This stuff happens a lot up here," Awrey said. "It's the perfect set up for a squirrel though. Nice and insulated. Pretty practical until your nest drives away."

奧維利表示，這里經(jīng)常發(fā)生這種事，雖然對松鼠來說這是個極佳的地方，很不錯還與外界隔絕，在開走之前這個"窩"還是相當(dāng)實(shí)用的。
