Though they have been around since the late 1990’s, emoji(表情符号) usage has increased
sharply with the wide use of smartphones.
Recently, a team from the University of Michigan and Peking University analyzed 427 million
messages sent by users in 212 countries to look into the differences in emoji use by location and culture. The findings indicated the French are emoji power users and included them in 19.7% of their texts. It’s almost twice that of Russia, where only 10.9% of the messages contained emojis. Americans came in a close third at 9.2% and was followed by Mexico at 7.9%.
Also, though the
handily wins the title as the most popular emoji, the French appear to
prefer the
. They are also more likely to use variations of the heart emoji.
Not surprisingly, the study found that women tend to use emojis more extensively than men.
However, they stick to a handful of favorites. Men, on the other hand, show better judgment and appear to go to extra length to find an emoji that matches the situation. But even so, they select from the top 119 of the 1 281 emojis available.
The researchers say people living in Australia and France who believe one person’s need is
greater than that of a society or group, used happier emojis. Conversely, those from countries with closely knit societies, like Colombia, prefer using sad or angry emojis.
Also, cultures like Turkey and Russia, known for their strictness, appeared to be more content,
at least according to the emojis. On the other hand, people in tolerant cultures, like Mexico, seemed unhappy or dissatisfied.
The researchers believe the findings of this \large-scale analysis of emoji usage\will
help develop input methods and perhaps even expand our emoji vocabulary! Who knew the tiny image we add to brighten up our texts could show so much about our culture? 1. Which country is the second-place winner of the use of emojis?

B
Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later? Exercise
early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.
“This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very
important—not just for physical development, but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing,”says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto, Canada.“ In humans, it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms（阿茨海默氏症）,possibly to the point of preventing them.”
Wojtowicz’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels
in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.
Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the
same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.
The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage
of times in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.
2
But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.
