She has a serious letter-writing habit and keeps in touch with her favorite people. If y
8、ouve been the receiver of her hand-decorated letters and envelopes, then I know they really make your day. A letter from Emerson is likely to include some art, a joke and enough questions to guarantee a response. But when she wrote a letter to Doug, she put something new in it. “You may know me as t
9、he person living here that writes lots of lettersYoure very important to me, helping me stay in touch with friends. I cheer people up with my letters, and you do that too!”, Emerson wrote. The next day, a package arrived with two letters. One was from Doug and the other from his superior, Sara, sayi
10、ng she had shared Emersons letter in the internal newsletter (内部通讯) of the USPS and believed many postal workers wanted to thank Emerson. Emerson was so pleased with Saras letter that it upset me much, for the possible result of no reply would come as a blow to her. Surprisingly, today, we saw Doug
11、come with two boxes of letters from around the country. These letters were so human, filled with stories about family, pets and a sense of kindness. But there was something more in them. People felt seen some for the first time in a long time. “I work alone in a small rural post office” “Not many pe
12、ople think about how hard we work”. Emerson wrote back seriously. Im sharing this not because Im a proud dad, but because its relatively easy, if we take the time, to give others links they need to be good-human connection. Emerson did this daringly.

16、ier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime. To understand why, you first need to grasp the relationship between core (核心) body temperature and sleep. During daylight hours, the human body has an average temperature of 37. But your core body temperature drops a
17、s much as 1.2 over one nights sleep. This gradual decrease is a key part of how we sleep. To put it simply, the faster you can lower your core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep. One way that your body controls its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in the skin. If your body is
18、 too hot, your blood vessels widen, pushing the warmer blood nearer the skins surface, helping it to cool. If your body is too cold, the opposite happens. Your blood vessels narrow, restricting the flow of blood to the surface. The soles, the bottom surface of your feet, are one of your bodys most e
19、fficient heat exchangers, since they are hairless and less protected than other skin surfaces. Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes blood vessel widening, which in turn lowers the bodys core temperature faster than goi

The warm-sensitive neurons (神经元) in the brain become more active when theres a temperature difference between the bodys core and the feet. Researchers have found that these neurons become more a

In a small study, researchers found that wearing a pair of special “sleeping socks” not only sped up the coming of sleep, but in

25、very.CEntertainment.DEducation.Just as China sets the world pace in e-commerce (电子商务), its doing the same for live streaming. More than 100 million viewers watch a live online video event every month. As an e-commerce tool, the live streaming format typically involves a famous person showing a produ
26、ct and answering questions from a digital audience. It takes place in real time (实时) and usually on a smartphone, which accounts for some 95% of e-commerce activity in China. China is filled with live streaming webcasts, much of it non-commercial, such as young people discussing their lives, offerin
27、g diet tips, etc. But live streaming has also become one of the most cost-effective tools for e-commerce in China. Why are consumers and brands both hugging live streaming?

Theres also a feeling of authenticity (真实性) that comes from live streaming because the audience can interact (互动) with the experts by asking questions in real time. Consumers feel that they are actually handling the product themselves. Instead of picking a produc
29、t off a shelf, they are now part of the process, shaping the outcome from the convenience of the living room sofa. The best live streaming allows room for a joke, or even a small mistake. After all, this is how friends talk with one another. As consumers grow in experience and taste, they would rath
30、er participate in a chat. Live streaming invites the brand into the home in much the same way you would invite a friend. Consumers often feel a sense of empowerment (赋予权力). The brand must react quickly and positively to viewers in real time because consumers have the power to hold them responsible f
31、or their products through questions. Live streaming can also be particularly effective for new-to-market brands who do not have the ability to create a buzz because it provides a guarantee that the product is used, accepted and loved.12What is the purpose of live streaming as an e-commerce tool?ATo
