Technology sometimes goes wrong. And the more you use technology, the more you know it can go wrong. A connection drops. A printer will not print or an app crashes. Tech troubles can let users down quickly. First reactions may be to scream，throw the device（设备）against the wall, or cry. 1. By following these steps, you could solve some of the most common tech problems on your own.
Search the Web. Learn about your tech problem on a search website, such as Google. See what others have experienced. Find expert articles about solving the problem. If your issue is with recent technology, such as a software update, be sure to look for the most recent articles. 372.
Check connection speed. Maybe you find that streaming, downloading orupdating is moving slowly. 3. You may think something is wrong with your device when, really, your network is just noe. A website such as Speedtest. net can check your connection speed.
4. Make sure you have the most recenl version of apps and software. You might ba expperiencing a problem from a bug（漏洞）that has been fixed in an update. But if you have not yet had the latest version you may miss the solution.
Ask the developer. 5. You can communicate with developers over email, Twitter or a contact form on their website. Explain the issue giving as much detail as possible, including the device you are using and the problem you are having.
A. Update.
B. Fix bugs.
C. Tech tips from years ago may not work now.
D. Contact the developer of the app or software.
E. Have you ever struggled when technology went wrong?
F. First, be sure to check your Internet connection speed.
G. However, you may be able to solve the problem by yourself.
When we smile, our system recognizes that there’s an absence of threat, and relaxes: It slows down our heart rate, and may temporarily reduce blood pressure, too, promoting overall heart health. Even forcing your face into a smile can reduce stress and relax your heart rate.
Smiling is a language that everyone understands regardless of age, race, culture, language, and nationality. We all know that when you smile at people, even strangers, they almost always smile back, spreading a kind of peace and goodwill. This contagious（有感染力的）smiling comes from a subconscious tendency to match other people’s emotions. It’s why people who spend time around children，who smile often, naturally smile more than people who keep mostly adults company.
People who are generous with smiles are considered more likeable and approachable than people who wear a deadpan（面无表情的）expression. Consider successful salesmen and politicians. Can you imagine how we’d react if they wore sour expressions? People who smile a lot are more likely to gain our trust — and earn better tips — than someone who provides the same service with an impassive face.
In a study, Major League Baseball players from 1952 who wore full-faced, genuine smiles on their baseball cards lived longer, around 79.9 years, compared to players who only partly smiled or didn’t smile at all, who lived 5 to 7 years less. Smiling can make us look younger, too: People who smile frequently seem to age more slowly, appearing around three years younger than their less smiley counterparts.
We now have evidence that we are hardwired to smile. While smiling used to be considered a learned behavior that babies acquired at around six weeks of age, more advanced ultrasound testing has shown that even babies who are bom blind can smile. Babies have been known to make breathing and sucking movements while still in the womb（子宫）, and these reactions are thought to prepare them for their life outside. Now smiling has joined the list. Say cheese!

A nerve-zapping（电击神经）headset caused people to get rid of fat in a small preliminary study. Six people who had received the stimulation（刺激）lost on average about 8 percent of the fat on their trunks in four months, scientists reported at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience,
The headset stimulated the vestibular nerve（前庭神经）, which runs just behind the ears. That nerve sends signals to the hypothalamus, a brain structure thought to control the body’s fat storage. By stimulating the nerve with an electrical current, the technique shifts the body away from storing fat toward burning it.
Six overweight and obese people received the treatment, consisting of up to four one-hour-long sessions of stimulation a week. Because it activated the vestibular system, the stimulation created the sensation of gently rocking on a boat or floating in a pool, said the study’s co-author Jason McKeown of the University of California, San Diego.
After four months, body scans measured the trunk fat for the six people receiving the treatment and three people who received unreal stimulation. All six in the treatment group lost some trunk fat, despite not having changed their activity or diet. In contrast, those in the unreal group gained some fat. Researchers suspect that changes in the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within human cells are behind the difference. “The results were a lot better than we thought they’d be,” McKeown said.
Earlier studies found that vestibular nerve stimulation causes mice to drop fat and pack on muscle, resulting in what McKeown called Schwarzenegger mice. Though small, the current study suggests that the approach has promise in people. McKeown and his colleagues have started a company based on the technology and plan to test it further.
1.What is an electrical current used for?
A. Causing the body to bum its fat.
B. Controlling the body’s storage of fat.
C. Seeing if the headset will be affected.
D. Speeding the process of one’s digesting.
2.What’s the probable reason for the different results in participants?
A. The length of stimulation they received.
B. The type of stimulation they received.
C. The difference in their vestibular system.
D. The way chemicals process in their body.
3.Which is true about McKeown’s current findings?
A. They have a kind of practical value.
B. They go against those of earlier tests on mice.
C. They were widely recognized at the meeting.
D. They have been tested by MeKeown’s company.
4.What can be the best title of the text?
A. The science of zapping fat
B. A new trial of weight loss
C. Zapping certain nerves leads to fat loss
D. Exercise for weight loss and get fit
