“Don’t tell anyone”.We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us.1. We’re often tempted to(忍不住的) “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.
An earlier study, led by Anita E.Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. 2. According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”.This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge to share it with someone”.
3. Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a Mend.Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them.A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone, ”according to Shah.
He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out.4. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside.To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.
Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position.Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away.Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it.5.
A.But it can be hard to keep a secret.
B.Everyone intends to keep his own secret.
C.Now you may ask, what secret is that?
D.Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.
E.People with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches.
F.But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all?
G.However, this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people.
The founder of electric supercar maker Rimac has said it won’t make sense for people to own or drive their own cars in the coming decades.
According to Rimac, most people will no longer own or operate their own cars in the future.Instead, vehicles will be shared, self—driving and electric.These changes are already starting. “There will be people who still want to own their cars and drive their cars and I am happy for that because that is our business, ”Rimac said. “Long term, I think 20 years down the road, it will be totally changed and people will not own or drive their cars anymore.”Rimac’s most recent car.the C—Two, comes off the production line next year.
Rimac is well aware the industry is changing quickly due to the rise of self-driving vehicles and electric batteries, and says in the next 20 years driving as we know it may exist mainly as a hobby. “I really believe that humanity goes for things that make sense.”he told Newsweek. “If you look at 1.3 million people dying every year on the roads, if you look at the impact it has on economies based on traffic jams and time lost, it’s so much of a negative impact to society that I think such a huge benefit can be gained if people stop driving.”
“Let’s look into the future.You are standing in front of the choice of either investing a huge amount of your money in buying a hunk of metal and plastic for 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars, or you have the convenient option of paying as you go, the car picks you up in a few minutes, it’s a nice environment and you spend a few dollars per day on your transport.”
“When you take the driver out of the car, transport can be much cheaper and you can use the time to do other things, instead of sitting behind a steering(转向)wheel and not doing anything else.So I think the choice for the vast majority of people will be the obvious one.”

A new study has found that cats can connect with people in the same way as dogs and children.The research, published in Current Biology, suggests the social abilities of cats to form human attachments has been greatly underestimated.The study notes that more cats live with humans than dogs do worldwide.But historically, more scientific research has centered on the social relationships between people and dogs.
The researchers designed experiments similar to methods used to measure human attachment behaviors.For example, other studies have observed how babies react to being reunited with caregivers after being separated for short periods.
About 70 cats were studied.The hehavior of the animals was observed by experts who divided them into two groups.64 percent were judged to be “securely attached”to caregivers, while 36 percent were found to be “insecurely attached.”The cats with secure attachments showed several signs of “reduced stress”levels, the study found.These cats were found to be more comfortable and effectively balanced their attention between the person and their surroundings.However, the cats with an insecure attachment showed clear signs of stress.These included shaking of the tail, repeated licking or staying completely away from the caregiver.
She added that the results showed that the level of secure and insecure attachments in cats is very close to those measured in human babies.In humans, research has found that 65 percent of babies are also securely attached to their caregivers.The researchers also were interested in finding out if socialization training would change the results.
But after a six-week training program for the cats, there were no major differences. “Once an attachment style has been established between the cat and its caregiver, it appears to remain relatively stable overtime, even after a training and socialization intervention(干预), ”Vitale said.
