Why men wolf down their meals {#blank#}1{#/blank#} women take their time? Many a woman has watched in disbelief as their partners eat their food minutes after sitting down to dinner. Now Korean researchers have discovered why: men and women {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (actual) chew differently. Women chew each individual mouthful more times — taking longer to finish {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (eat) their meal.

    The researchers hired 24 males and 24 females in South Korea. They recorded the size of people's bites, total chewing time per mouthful of food, total number of chews and how long {#blank#}4{#/blank#}   took the person to eat the entire meal. Men typically take {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   (large) bites with more “chewing power”, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} means they consume their meal more quickly than women.

    Though women were watched {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have) the same chewing pace as men, they chewed each mouthful more times, slowing down the total time it took them to eat their meal.

    The study {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (publish) in the January issue of the Physiology and Behaviour Journal. But it flies in the face of an earlier result studied {#blank#}9{#/blank#} researchers at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, Japan, which found no {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (different) in how the sexes chewed gum.

    Traditional Chinese culture is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(begin) to capture the attention of the world,this is also true even if popular culture{#blank#}2{#/blank#}has traditionally been considered Western begins to spread throughout China.

    China Kung Fu,especially,has had a great impact{#blank#}3{#/blank#}millions of people in the world{#blank#}4{#/blank#}it has been so fascinating in the eyes of westerners.Apart from that,they may come to China and learn about other aspects of this culture,such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones.Asian nations have long known about the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (great) of ancient Chinese culture.Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.

    Actually,Korea and Japan long ago{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(adopt) ideas such as Confucianism as something that continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture.This strength comes from the ideas{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(give) in the Four Books（四书）of Confucianism (The Great Learning,The Doctrine of the Mean,The Analects of Confucius,and The Book of Mencius). These books built upon the ideas of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}even more ancient period codified in the Five Classics（五经）.From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts that are{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(unique) Chinese.

    In recent years,China has taken steps to further this spread of culture by{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(establish) Chinese Cultural Centers in foreign counties,the United States and Europe,in particular.

Temperatures around the world are rising. Many places {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(experience) extreme weather events such as extreme heat since the start of the new century.

Scientists have shown all that is going to get even {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bad). They looked at cities in the north half of the planet. They {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (especial) paid attention to those in the US.

According {#blank#}4{#/blank#} simple geography, the cities near Canada have cool to mild weather. Those near Mexico {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) hotter and more humid(潮湿的). However, things are going to look and feel a lot different in 2080.

The scientists created a weather model {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (study) the weather changes in 2080. They considered two important points. One was the warming of the planet by 1.5℃ to 3℃ and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} other was the increasing greenhouse gas levels. Unluckily, what the scientists found was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise)! The cities in the north turned into ones in the south— about 500 {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mile) south. For example, Washington, DC felt like Greenwood, Mississippi，and Mississippi felt like Mexico.

That's bad news for people in the US, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it's also bad for people everywhere because we're all in the same boat.
