27、toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Childrens Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The

29、e well under running water.

34、motion compared to phone or face-to-face conversations.

35、n a screen.To be sure, emoticons have changed the way that we communicate with each other. But there is more: a new study found that they are even changing how our brains work we now react to emoticons in the same way as we would to real human faces, reported Live Science.Its actually amazing when y
36、ou start to think about it: what an emoticon consists of is simply three punctuation marks(标点符号) on their own, they carry no meaning as a pair of eyes, a nose or a mouth, but after they were first put together as symbols for faces in 1982, they began to appear more and more in our written materials.
37、Owen Churches, a scientist at Flinders University in Australia, wanted to find out what people see in emoticons that make them so popular. So he showed 20 participants images of real faces, a smiley emoticon and a series of meaningless characters while their brain activities were monitored.Previous
38、studies have already shown that our brains process human faces differently than they do other objects they analyze the position of the mouth relative to the nose and the eyes to “read” for emotions. As a result, certain parts of our brain, such as the occipital-temporal cortex, are activated(激活).- 9
39、 -When Churches compared participants brain activities, he was surprised to find that the brain areas that were activated when people looked at smiley emoticons were the same as when they were shown pictures of real faces.According to Churches, this is a good example of how culture is shaping our br
40、ains. “Emoticons are a new form of language that were producing,” Churches told ABC Science. “Before 1982 there would be no reason that :-) would activate face-sensitive areas of the cortex, but now it does because weve learnt that this represents a face.”Next time you chat with your friends online,
