23、language is to take on a world, a culture.” Since the world changes every day, so does our language.More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the Oxford Dictionary Online, and in one way or another they are all reflections of todays changing world.Peoples political views are one
24、 of the main drives of our increasing vocabulary. One example is “clicktivism”, a compound of “click” and “activism”.

The phrase “climate refugee”someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change - reflects peoples concern for the environment.According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions “People feel much freer to coin their own words these days
27、.“ he said.But still, not all newly- invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary.

31、r language. DWhen Matt was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when Matt reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage an
32、d was healthier. Most of all, he was happier, far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the ho
33、me or community gained ability and came to feel they were good members of society,”said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were re
34、peated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men had done as boys and how they
35、 turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family
