Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal（荷尔蒙的）imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today. "
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of teenagers appear because we hate doing things. We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your homework.
Livestreaming（直播）through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online. It usually lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, and someone promotes a product. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.
We analyzed 99, 451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases. In terms of time, that is equal to over 2 million 30-second television advertisements.
To determine the emotional（情绪的）expression of the salesperson， we used two deep learning models： a face model and an emotion model. The face model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame （镜头） of a video stream. The emotion model then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear or disgust. For example, smiling signals a high probability of happiness, while an off-putting expression usually points toward anger.
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 emotion.
We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople show 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 show high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise.
A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smiling can be unpleasant 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.
A British energy supplier has apologized for the "poorly judged and unhelpful" advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle（依偎） up to their pets and exerciseto cut back on their heating bills.
SSE, which is owned by OVO Energy, suggested 10 "simple and cost effective ways to keep warm this winter, " according to the Financial Times. Eating bowls of oatmeal, doing star jumps and cuddling pets were among the recommendations on the now-deleted web page.
In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday, a spokesperson for OVO Energy said, "Recently a link to a blog containing energy saving tips was sent to customers. We understand how difficuIt the situation will be for many of our customers this year. " The spokesperson added, "We are working hard to find meaningful solutions as we approach this energy crisis, and we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful. We are embarrassed and sincerely apologize. "
Some British businesses and households have seen their energy bills rise in recent months, as suppliers deal with a sharp rise in wholesale gas prices. British consumers will pay roughly f790 more to heat and light their homes this year, according to Bank of America. Wholesale European gas prices have jumped by 400% over the previous year and electricity prices have increased by 300%, the bank's analysts said last week. The increases have been driven by cold weather, nuclear plant outages in France and reduced gas flow from Russia.
According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty--a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap（上限） on energy prices is expected to increase.
OVO Energy removed its advice after a wave of angry responses from lawmakers and campaigners. Following the apology, British lawmaker Darren Jones, who chairs Parliament's business select committee, tweeted: "Good, I'm glad they apologized. I'm not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can't afford it. "
Rural homestays（民宿）have become the fastest-growing part in the bed-and-breakfast market since the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled by travelers who seek a more relaxing, pleasant and experiential lifestyle that is close to nature, a recent report found.
Tujia, a domestic online homestay service provider, said there are nearly 800, 000 domestic rural homestays available online nationwide. Most people who took rural trips are urbanites（都市人），and most of them come from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou of Guangdong province, Chengdu of Sichuan province and Chongqing.
Among those who booked rural homestays, more than 60 percent of the total were born in the 1980s and 1990s. Now, the booking volume of rural homestays accounts for about 40 percent of the total short-term rentals compared with 30 percent before the pandemic, according to Tujia.
Zhou Cheng, a 33-year-old rural homestay operator, has been involved in the business for more than a decade. In 2010, he started operating a rural homestay in Lijiang, Yunnan province in Southwest China, and annual income was about 200, 000 yuan (S30, 500), which is less than one-tenth of his current annual income.
That revenue（收益）accounts for 60 percent to 70 percent of the total revenue． Most travelers stay for two days and one night， and their total spending on catering（餐饮）and accommodation together is around 2, 000 yuan per person. At his homestay business, there are 13 employees in total. All of them are local villagers and their monthly income is around 4, 000 yuan per person, Zhou said.
The development of rural homestays has changed the trend of previous one-day tours to suburbs into more in-depth trips. In the long term, the potential room for future growth of rural tourism and rural homestays is remarkable, with the backing of favorable policies related to the revitalization of rural areas.
A. He witnessed（见证）the fast growth of the domestic bed-and-breakfast sector.
B. Besides accommodations, catering services are also provided to customers.
C. These urbanites have driven the rapid growth of rural homestays.
D. In 2021, the booking volume of rural homestays in Beijing increased by 10 percent year-on-year, and revenue jumped 38 percent year-on-year.
E. An effective way to increase consumption is to convince travelers to stay overnight.
F. Consumers' frequent short trips to suburban areas have driven the growth of rural homestays.
G. Tourists can have more in-depth trip experiences and improve the quality of their trips.
