Teachers will be able to hold online classes in a virtual classroom, where students can discuss with each other using their avatars （化身）.Students will also no longer need to leave the house to visit museums around the world; they could simply walk into one in the metaverse instead. Finally, scientists will be able to explore and conduct experiments in a virtual lab, which is something that has never been done before.If the metaverse is essentially an extension of the Internet we currently have, one only has to think about the countless problems that we have yet to solve in our online existence 一 hacking, catfishing, harassment, hate speech - to see how truly dangerous a future on the metaverse could be.For now, though, everything is in the early stages.

Men in this age category appeared older when they smiled, but fbr their female counterparts, smiling had no effect.Researchers also suggested that it could be down to the gender differences in lifestyle and skin care thatcould affect facial wrinkling.The study follows a similar one undertaken in 2018 which also debunkedthe theory that smiling can take years off your appearance.

Change involves, a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.38 One idea is to think small rather than big. Many people's plans involve extreme measures, while in reality, change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. 3930 minutes of TVtime fbr two hours at the gym can be rewarding in motivating someone to work out every day.Finally, set concrete goals. 40 For example JTm going to go running every day to train fbr a haF marathon in April“ would be far more powerful than “I'm going to get in better shape this year”. Most importantly, remember that despite their names, New Year's resolutions should be for life. Change takes time and effort, but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions pennanently. or at least until June.A. You seem to be over the moon.B. Almost instantly, you step back in horror.C. So, how can you make yourself more disciplined?D. Instead of making a vague resolution, make a specific one.E.
