    Scientists announced on Thursday, February 11, 2016, at a press conference in Washington, D. C that the more than half-century search for gravitational waves finally succeeded. They confirmed that they had detected gravitational waves caused by two black holes mixing together about 1. 3 billion years ago. It had been the first time the phenomenon was directly detected since it was predicted by Albert Einstein l00 years ago.

    A China led space gravitational wave detection project is recruiting (招募) researchers from around the world, china news, com reported. The Tianqin project was started by Sun Yat-sen University in Zhuhhai. It centers on research of key technologies in space gravitational wave detection. To make the project more competitive，global talents in areas such as gravity theory，space gravity experiments and precision measurement are sought with an annual salary of up to 1 million yuan ($ 153.000). according to the report.

    Gravitational waves are not easily detectable. When they reach the Earth, an extremely sensitive detector is needed, as other sources of noise can overwhelm the signal. Luo Jun. president of Sun Yat sen University said the detection of gravitational waves is a huge challenge and the project reflects the research competence of China.

    The 15-billion yuan project aims to send wave-detection satellites into space in 15 to 20 years with construction of a research center and observatory to be started soon. Researchers will likely cooperate with other scientists from the European Space Agency’s LISA Project.

    Gravitational waves are ripples (涟漪) in space time generated during the earliest moment of the universe, when the universe experienced a brief but disordered period of expansion. The detection of gravitational waves is believed to help scientists understand more mysteries of the universe.

    How to Protect Yourself from Hackers Online

    An increase in cyber-attacks (网络攻击) makes the Internet seem like a scary place these days. How can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information? Here are several tips that can help you protect against cyber-attacks:

    1.

    Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at least eight characters in length. They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet's name or the name of a family member.

    Change your password regularly

    A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable. Hackers are better able to hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password. A password management service, like Dashlane or PasswordBox, can help you keep track of hard passwords. 2.

    Clear your browser (浏览器) history

    This goes for all the devices you use in a day – your home computer, your work computer, or your friend's iPad. Internet browsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you've been and what you've done online. They keep records of every site you visited. 3. It is very easy for anyone who sees that information to steal a detailed record of your online activities.

    Do not use free Wi-Fi

    4. Often, a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks. These services might be useful, but they're also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device.

    Use anti-virus protection

    There are many anti-virus services available for users. 5. Some anti-virus services are even free. They are a great way to have a professional help keeping users one step ahead of hackers.

    A. Be careful while using thumb drive.

    B. These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.

    C. Make your password harder to hack.

    D. They can offer many different types of computer protection.

    E. An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet.

    F. Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks.

    G. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it.

    3．Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers．Then again，teenagers have （1）similar feelings about their parents，saying that it is not easy living with them．According to a recent research，the most common （2）argument between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks．On the one hand，parents go mad over（3）messy rooms，clothes thrown on the floor and their children's refusal to help with the（4）housework．On the other hand，teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for（5）dropping the towel in the bathroom，not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket．
    The research，conducted by St．George University，shows that different parents have different（6）approaches to these problems．However，some approaches are more （7）successful than others．For example，those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness，but（8）later clean the room for them，have fewer chances of changing their children's（9）behavior．On the contrary，those who let teenagers experience the（10）consequences of their actions can do better．For example，when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favorite drink in the refrigerator，they are forced to（11）reconsider their actions．
    Psychologists say that （12）communication is the most important thing in parent-child relationships．Parents should （13）talkto their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say．Parents may（14）scold their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space．Communication is a two-way process．It is only by listening to and（15）understanding each other that problems between parents and children can be settled．
