21、Livestream through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is a popular way to sell goods online. In a session that lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, someone promotes a product. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.
Researchers analyzed 99, 451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases.
To determine the emotional expression of the salesperson, researchers used two deep learning models: a face detection model and an emotion classification model. The face detection model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame of a video stream. The emotion classifier then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear or disgust.
We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases, so we counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database. We then combined these probabilities with other possible aspects that might drive sales —such as price and product characteristics—to judge the effect of emotions…
We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople convey more negative emotions—such as anger and disgust—the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople display high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise.
A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smile can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer’s expense.
We also found that the negative effects on sales are the strongest when people express emotions in the middle rather than at the beginning or the end of sale. A potential reason for this finding is that the middle is typically when the salesperson offers more details about the product, and it’s likely that viewers are turned off by emotions at this point.

22、That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

23、Born after 1996 on the heels of the millennials (千禧一代),Generation Z (Gen Z) is just entering the workforce. Its members are the first true digital natives, and their ability to adapt to an automating workplace will likely determine their success. “Soft” skills such as intellectual insight, flexibility and creativity will be essential for workers to compete with machines that are growing more technically skilled. 【1】
Be an effective strategic communicator. Some employers fear that digital native workers might be too much like the robots they are competing with. 【2】 It’s good communication skills that make them noticeable. Those in technology fields often work remotely or in relative isolation, so they do not always get enough time to sharpen their interpersonal skills. However, Gen Z should not ignore the importance of relationship building, listening, communicating and teamwork.
【3】 While most of Gen Z is still in school, they already need to think about how to continually adapt to a fast-changing world. To succeed, they must be realistic about their skills and how desired skill sets will change. For example, graduates might be trained in Microsoft Excel, but a job might require them to learn how to interpret that data.
【4】 Nearly half of the Gen Z said they had experienced job burnout in the past year, according to a survey. 【5】 Workers are at their best when doing something meaningful to them, said Obed Louissaint, vice president of talent at IBM.

Qiang was 14 and attending Guanzhuang Middle School when the 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan’s Wenchuan County on May 12, 2008.
The quake claimed (索取) more than 80, 000 lives, and around 130, 000 military (军队) personnel took part in the search and rescue work.

A passing soldier grabbed (抓住) Qiang and used his own body to shield (保护) the teenager from the falling rocks.
“Were it not that soldier, I might have died. I saw falling rocks hitting his back and his hands were bleeding, ” Qiang recalled (回忆). The soldier took him to a temporary shelter nearby and fetched Qiang’s family the next day. In the following months, he came to the shelter several times, setting up tents and delivering (派送) supplies (物资) to people.
“I regret that I didn’t ask for his name. All I know is that he was 1.7 meters tall and others called him Battalion Commander,” Qiang said.
