The Emojipedia website has shown new emojis following demands that they should be more diverse. If it

18、s ideas are approved, the new emojis could be added in 2018, alongside new characters that have grey, curly or Afro hair.“New styles focus on appearances that arent currently supported in the informal skin tone and hair color pairings(组合) used on many cellphones,” showed one page on the website. The

19、 page gave Jessica Chastain and Ed Sheeran as examples of people with red hair. Sinead OConnor and Samuel L Kackson were given as examples of people with no hair or a shaven head.The emojis could be released in 2018 if chosen by the Unicode Consortium which met in January, 2017 following a number of

20、 complaints about lack of diversity. “Non-naturally occurring features, such as blue hair and tattoos, are not included in this project,” the website added.At the end of 2016, Apple published its iOS 10.2 software update which included 72 new emojis such as firefighters, astronauts, rockstars and so

21、 on. But people who have red hair were notably absent, causing a global protest.A website in Scotland demanding ginger emojis got 20,000 signatures. The main issue is that there is one organization, known as Unicode Consortium, who controls emojis on iPhone.In March, a new list of emojis was publish

26、 that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty. Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的), the officials at the few sch

27、ools around the world seem to agree.Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a devic

28、e that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing

29、 to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four

30、 schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results.

Starting from October 1, a new policy adopted by the three giant cellpho

43、ne operators China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom has allowed unused data from individual data packages to be carried over to the next month for use.At the beginning, users of the three telecommunication companies welcomed this policy, since they would have more free data to use in the next

44、month. However, even before Chinese users could enjoy the free extra package, the users found that since the adoption of the policy, the original data limits seem to be far more easily swallowed up, which means there wouldnt be any unused data left for the next month. One user of China Unicom claime

45、d that it took him only nine days to use up the data package of a month.Telecoms have become a necessity in modern life like water or power, and raising or lowering costs significantly affects peoples lives and finances. But disagreements between consumers and service providers cover discussion. It

46、is too early to judge how long the disagreement between telecommunication companies and consumers over data packages will last, since, according to media reports, the measurement of data usage is difficult to track. Companies are using “user privacy” to avoid giving out any information.But reading t

47、hrough the companies posted online by cellphone users, we can sense the publics distrust of Stated-owned enterprises (SOEs).
