10、 attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building.”I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the stu

If you tell me the height of this building, I will give it to you.At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this ques

14、tion. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors trying to teach him how to think, and to use the so-called “scientific method”.

Now the photo you t

40、ake on your iPhone will likely become a touch-up Instagram in about 15 seconds. Maybe you just post it subconsciously. But your sharing behavior could easily be considered annoying or even narcissistic(自恋的)._18_Maybe we should all be asking ourselves the question before hitting the share button. As

41、our personal fame grows alongside our social media presences, so does the number of people we could potentially impress or bother.According to Therapist Jessica Michaels, providing emotional context may help prevent what might be seen as a bragging. Think about how you say something, not just what y

42、ou say. Frame it in a way that makes it more of a sharing idea. For example, if you plan a party for Christmas, you could post Hey friends of mine! Lets plan this together. Maybe we could all go. instead of saying Oh I cant wait to enjoy my party. _19_ Remember, the original intention behind social

43、media is a connector, and your true best friends definitely do want to know when things are going good for you. Next time when you post a photo of your fantastic winter vacation, for example, make sure to tag your friends._20_ A little bit of social media love goes a long way!ATo post or not to post
