In a fast changing world, people seldom see a device or equipment that lasts for a long time these days．There are always new inventions, different models, or upgrades cropping up one after the other and as consumers people highly anticipate the faster and better kind than what they already have．Therefore it is quite a surprise that a mini projector(投影仪)is still in use today not only in small scale businesses, schools, or homes but in big corporations and institutions as well．Sure it has a few additional features here and there but the main function is the same．
A mini projector today has been fitted with top of the line parts and high quality materials to ensure its efficiency and performance can meet the demands of whoever it is for．It is so designed that it can be used indoors or outdoors with the same functions．The mini projector, as the name suggests, is handy and compact and can easily be brought anywhere by just one person．It can support a broader scope of signals now; USB and card readers are now installed to cope with the pieces of equipments that people use today to store data．
It can be used at home where it can provide as a form of entertainment or start a conversation during family bonding times．The owner can easily use the mini projector to share with other members the photos and videos of one particular vacation, or just to play a series of beautiful landscapes．
Offices also benefit from a mini projector especially during an important meeting or presentation．With at par resolution(标准的分辨率), employees can easily decipher(辨认)the text or data with the use of a mini projector, its bright LED light is sufficient enough to provide a bright and clear image without distortion(变形)．Users can now bring this anywhere with them and can be especially useful on a location where the voltage(电压)is unknown．
Perhaps one of the more common places where a mini projector is used constantly is in schools．Teachers or professors use this as an aid to a lesson or discussion to provide better visual aids than usual and to even deliver their lecture with the use of a mini projector and minimize the use of a board and writing pen．It is often said that children have a very short attention span but they remember things more when things are presented to them visually．This is the perfect use of a mini projector in classrooms where kids easily forget their lesson for the day．Teachers use this to show the class pictures or illustrations that tie with the topics for students to remember．

Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered…Is it race?Income?Where you live?In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades．
Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others．She says one important factor in people's health is the amount of education they have．
In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States census．These counts of people occur every 10 years．Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades．
“
We looked at life expectancy(预测寿命)at age 25,”Meara says．“
How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner?Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you've reached aged 25 and you've gone on to at least some college…”Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years．In 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75．
In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990．Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact．
Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people has made gains in the length of their lives．Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn't changed for less educated people．
Some of these gains can be explained．Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education．
“
I think it's a reminder not to be satisfactory,”Meara says．“Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn't always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population．And I think that's something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere．”Meara points out that education can often determine income - people with more education frequently make more money．This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier．But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier．
Meara says education is key．People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health．

阅读下面文章，根据语篇内容，用恰当的词完成题后表格中所缺单词。(每格限填一词)
Hey! It's going to be Mother's day again. Have you planned something good for your Mama? If not, try even one of these tips.
Make Your Mama Proud
What special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.
What's Her Favorite?
Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.
The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.
The Memories
Our mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.
Be Her
What does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.
Treat a Queen
Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.
Make-Over Beauty
Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.
Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!
Have Some of Your Time
It's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.
Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?
Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?
