1. The Incredibles 2

《超人总动员2》

The Incredibles is one of Pixar’s most beloved films – which, considering that nearly every one of their animations is beloved is really saying something – and certainly the one that always seemed most ripe for a sequel. This time the Parr family, each member gifted with powers, spring back into action to take on villains the Underminer （glimpsed at the end of the first film） and new threat The Screen-slaver. Or at least matriarch Elasti-girl （Holly Hunter） gets to. Superheroes are still looked upon unfavourably in the world of The Incredibles 2, but Elasti-girl is recruited to be the face of masked vigilantism by a PR consultant looking to make people with superpowers more palatable to the public. Her husband, Mr Incredible, becomes a stay-at-home dad and all manner of domestic comedy high jinks ensue. Released 14 June in Mexico, Argentina and Chile, 15 June in the US, Pakistan and Vietnam and 27 June in Belgium, Spain and The Netherlands （Credit: Disney-Pixar）

《超人总动员》是皮克斯最受喜爱的电影之一，而且考虑到皮克斯出品的几乎每一部动画都受人喜爱，这更说明这部电影真的不错，而且绝对是发展续集的理想之选。每个成员都有超能力的帕尔家族这一次将再度迎战第一部片尾出现的反派“暗中破坏者”和新敌“屏幕终结者”。至少作为妈妈的弹力女超人（霍利·亨特 配音）将挑起这个重担。在第二部的世界里，超人们仍然不被世人看好，但弹力女超人被一名公关顾问聘任为蒙面治安委员会成员，希望能让超人们更受公众欢迎。她的丈夫超能先生成了家庭主男，各种令人捧腹的闹剧在家里接连上演。该片将于6月14日在墨西哥、阿根廷和智利上映，6月15日在美国、巴基斯坦和越南上映，6月27日在比利时、西班牙和荷兰上映。（资料来源：迪士尼-皮克斯）

Green tea could hold the key to preventing thousands of deaths each year caused by strokes and heart disease , a new study has claimed.

一项新的研究表明，每年都有上个人因中风和心脏疾病而死亡，而常喝绿茶则是预防这种死亡的关键。

Scientists had been researching epigallocatechin-3-gallate （EGCG）, a compound found in green tea, for its ability to reduce amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients.

科学家一直在研究绿茶中的一种成分epigallocatechin-3-gallate（简称EGCG），看其能否减少阿尔兹海默（老年痴呆）病人脑中的淀粉样斑块”（这些斑块会损害大脑细胞之间的联系，导致记忆力退化）。

However, a team from Lancaster University and the University of Leeds now believe EGCG can also break up potentially dangerous protein plaques found in blood vessels.

但是，来自兰开斯特大学和利兹大学的研究小组发现EGCG可以破坏血管上面有潜在危险的蛋白质沉积。

Atherosclerosis, the build-up of fatty material inside arteries that reduces the flow of blood, can lead to an increased risk of heart attacks or stroke.

动脉粥样硬化，也就是在血管中形成的脂肪物质会减缓血液流动，会提高罹患心脏病和中风的风险。

爱因斯坦去世后依然被世人铭记。然而，除了他在科学领域作出的不可磨灭的贡献，很多他没有说过的话和做过的事也都被归在他身上，有的人甚至直接杜撰他的名言。其实，下面这些名言都不是爱因斯坦说的。

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left."

“如果蜜蜂从地球上消失，人类只能活4年。”

这句话一向被认为是爱因斯坦所讲。这句不容置辩的话语引起了人们对传粉昆虫的重视，但却忘记了世界上存在数千种传粉昆虫的事实。而且重要的是，爱因斯坦并没有说过这句话，这话很可能是比利时养蜂人罢工的时候说的。

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. "

“事情应该力求简单，不过不能过于简单。”

爱因斯坦并没有说过这句原话，这句话很可能是从他另外一句话断章取义而来的。他的原话应该是：

"It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience."

近日，团中央网络影视中心和“青年之声”婚恋服务委员会联合发布《当代青年群体婚恋观调查报告》(The Report on Contemporary Young People's Viewpoints on Marriage and Love，以下简称《报告》)。《报告》调查了3082名19岁到35岁之间的青年男女。结果显示，近七成青年择偶“愿等待不愿将就”。调查还显示，造成青年单身的三大原因分别是交际圈小、工作忙和不主动。

共青团中央根据这份调查制作了一系列图表，我们一起来看看具体内容吧。

▌择偶观：最注重“人品”和“性格”，“收入”不重要!

调查显示，在择偶观上，男女生都更加看重“人品”和“性格”。

The report said the group values "internal compatibility" in choosing partners.

调查显示年轻人选择对象时，更注重“内在匹配度”。

More than 80% regard moral standing as the most important criterion for dating, and 70% believe character comes first.

超过80%的人视“人品”为择偶最重要的标准，约70%的人看重性格。

Howard Schultz announced Monday that he will no longer serve as the executive chairman of Starbucks.

哈佛大学联合几所著名高校开展了一项大型研究，只为了调查高温天气对学生成绩的影响。结果显示，天气太热真的会让学生成绩普遍降低，解决办法就是，多开空调。

In years with hotter weather pupils are likely to perform less well in exams, says a major study from researchers at Harvard and other US universities.

哈佛等美国大学的研究人员开展的大型研究指出，在天气炎热的年份，学生们的考试成绩会变差。

There is a "significant" link between higher temperatures and lower school achievement, say economic researchers.

这些经济学研究员称，高温天气和考试成绩下降之间有“重大”关联。

An analysis of test scores of 10 million US secondary school students over 13 years shows hot weather has a negative impact on results.

这项研究在分析了1000万名美国中学生13年间的考试成绩后发现，炎热天气对考试成绩有负面影响。
