Ideal for students with limited options as after-school study spaces. And relatively cheap.The demand for study lounges rose in China because
16、students can hardly find a peaceful place to study after finishing classes. Before 2018, there were few study lounges in China, and the few that existed were mainly in first- and second-tier cities such as Guangzhou, Suzhou and Tianjin. Yet by 2019, they had become popular nationwide.But the pandemi
17、c (流行病) has dealt a blow to the industry. Since personal contact in a closed environment is unavoidable, the pandemic forced all study lounges to shut down for several months. Lou Qingxiao,founder of Xinliuzaowu, one of Beijings earliest study lounge brands that opened in 2018, said their first stud
18、y lounge near Renmin University of China had made ends meet before the pandemic. Li Hang and Zhang Yang, co-founders of Sishiloushi, a Beijing-based independent study lounge, said that even before COVID-19 broke out, the industrys profit was neither promising nor clear, let alone in such a particula
19、r period.“Rent is a major fixed cost for study lounges, especially in first-tier cities,” Lou said. In a first-tier city such as Beijing, rentals comprise more than a half of a study lounges monthly operation cost. But Lou sounds optimistic about the industry commercial prospects, “because its a blu

24、ved.Dogs cant speak, but their brains respond to spoken words. Every dog owner knows that saying “Good dog!” in a happy, high voice will make their pet joyfully wag its tail. That made scientists curious: What exactly happens in your dogs brain when it hears praise, and is it similar to the way our
25、own brain processes such information?When a person gets others compliment, the more primitive, subcortical auditory regions (皮层下听觉区) first reacts to the intonation the emotional force of spoken words. Next, the brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex (听觉皮层) to figure out the meaning of
26、the words, which is learned.In 2016, a team of scientists discovered that dogs brains, like those of humans, compute the intonation and meaning of a word separately although dogs use their right brain to do so, whereas we use our left one. Still, a puzzle remained: Do their brains go through the sam
27、e steps to process approval?Its an important question, because dogs are a speechless species, yet they respond correctly to our words. For instance, some dogs are capable of recognising thousands of names of individual objects, and can link each name to a specific object.When the scientists studied
28、scans of the brains of pet dogs, they found that theirs, like ours, process the sounds of spoken words in this manner analyzing first the emotional component with the older region of the brain, the subcortical regions, and then the words meaning with the newer part, the cortex. See why dogs are so s
29、uccessful at partnering with us? Dogs and humans last shared a common ancestor some 100 million years ago, so its likely that our brains respond to sounds in a similar way. As domesticated animals that have evolved alongside humans for the past 10,000 years, dogs make special use of it to process hu
