And the mythological（神话）figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother"，the Monkey King. Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.Some academics claim that one of the native tribes in Taiwan, China speaks a language similar to Maori, notably in the naming of numbers. Evidence gleaned by archaeologists（考古 学家）shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan, with the native language of Taiwan having similarities to the prehistoric Australasian language.Confused by Maori place names and customs when she first moved to New Zealand, Song Lam spent eight years researching and three years writing her book, The Maori of New Zealand, which is believed to be the first Chinese-language publication to include Maori words, values and customs. The 120-page book, including 10 pages of photos and maps, descbribes Maori legends, traditions, history and folk tales.Song Lam was inspired to write the book in 1990 when she tried to sign up for an education course in New Zealand and was asked for her comments on a local historical event, which she knew nothing about. She involved her two sons in her project and research after explaining to them the stories behind Maori place names. The younger boy, aged 10, used his skill at drawing to contribute an historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.“Both Chinese and Maori like to present a gift when visiting others or receiving warm reception,Lam says.

Adaptation to Life in New ZealandLanguages Bridge MisunderstandingWith researchers suggesting that sitting is the new smoking, sit-stand desks （SSD） have become a common tool to interrupt long sitting in an office or classroom environment. As this furniture becomes popular, conflicting opinions have arisen on whether they can work as successfully as they are intended. Dr. April Chambers from the University of Pittsburgh worked with teammates to gather data from 3 studies and published a review article listing present information on the benefits of SSDs.“There has been a great deal of scientific research about sit-stand desks in the past few years, but we have only scratched the surface of this topic J said Chambers. I want to gather what we've known so far to figure out how we can use these desks to better benefit people in the workplace.This work was done with Dr. Nancy A. Baker from Tufts University. The review examines the effects of a sit-stand desk in the following aspects: behavior, physiological（生理 的），work performance, psychological, discomfort, and posture. Their work showed that using an SSD effectively got participants to sit less and stand more and that the device made users more comfortable at work. However, many frustrations （沮丧）with SSDs came from the physiological outcomes. According to the review, physiological effects were the most studied,but there were no significant results with regards to fatness.There are many considerations about using an SSD most effectively, such as desk height, monitor height, and the amount of time to stand. Chambers believes that the overall arrangement of the workplace or study place and the amount of work are two factors that should be further studied.Chambers noted that present research is limited because many of the studies were done with young and healthy subjects who were asked to use the desk for a week or a month at most. Since some of the significant benefits are with heart health or muscle discomfort, itmay be beneficial to perform additional studies with middle-aged or overweight workers.8. The arguments about SSDs mainly lie inA. their side effectsC , their practical results9. Why did Chambers publish the article?A. To call on people to stand more.C. To contradict the existing opinions.10. Whafs the researchers9 attitude to SSDsA. Disappointed.C. Positive.B. their popularityD. their original intentionsB , To suggest ways to better use SSDs.D. To find out the drawbacks of SSDs. physiological result?B. Content.D. Indifferent.11. What needs to be further examined according to Chambers?A. The height of the desk and the monitor.B , The time people spend in standing.C. Behavior and psychological aspects.D. A broader range of the participants.Bristol University will offer students lessons in happiness. The university is offering the 12-week course to students from all university disciplines next year, which will count towards 20 of their 120 credit points for their first year on campus. The course, to be taught by Professor Bruce Hood, an expert who studies how the brain works and how humans think, will explore what happiness is and how to achieve it.Last year, 400 students signed up for a pilot happiness course at the university, which did not result in academic credits, as part of the university's efforts to improve well-being. Professor Hood said, "We're really excited that the university has got behind the course. This course will be built and established on what we've already learnt in the first year but of course we're going to monitor the students much more closely because ifs for academic credits. They can't take an easy optionthey've really got to put in a lot of effort.”The voluntary course was originally introduced amid（在当中）growing concernsabout student mental health. Last year, students called for more support and services for young people with mental health issues at the university. Under the new course, students will attend a one-hour lecture each week as well as attending a "happiness hub”. Lectures will address a series of issues, including whether happiness is in the genes and if it can really be changed, how our minds influence happiness and the role of culture in happiness.Students will be asked to select one of seven happiness exercises to practise for a week, and then evaluate（评估）the effect it has on them. This will be discussed at the weekly happiness hub meetings. The exercises include sleeping more, meditating（冥想）,expressing gratitude for people and things, and practising random acts of kindness.12.

Aiming to be more active is good. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your New Year's resolution could be very well backfire.16, we often sour on it and stop working out. In a study of 30 overweightpeople who participated in a 12-week exercise program and were interviewed afterward, this response was typical: “It was quite disappointing that I didn't lose a single pound. 1775Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishmenta price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say (or said yourself) 'Til do extra exercise" after eating too much during the holidays or at a celebratory dinner? 18, As a consequence, we're unlikely toenjoy it or to keep doing it.The takeaway is that we see exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. For some, the motivation may be an improved mood or less stress. Others may find exercise makes them feel physically and mentally stronger. 19 It can help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, colds, etc. It can also improve sleep, make you energetic, and prevent aging. What's more, exercise can prevent weight gain and improve your appearance.20. It's perhaps the most important thing you can do fbr your health.
