>Museums lengthen life
逛博物美术馆延年益寿

A trip to the theater, museum or art gallery could help you live longer. And the more often you get that culture fix the better, a new study suggests.
最新研究表明，去剧院、博物馆或美术馆看剧或游览能延年益寿，而且去得越多，效果越好。

Researchers from University College London (UCL) found that people who engaged in the arts more frequently - every few months or more - had a 31% lower risk of dying early when compared to those who didn't.
伦敦大学学院的研究人员发现，与不经常参加艺术活动的人相比，经常参加艺术活动的人（每隔几个月或更长时间去一次）早逝的风险降低了31%。

Even going to the theater or museum once or twice a year was linked with a 14% lower risk.
即使每年去一两次剧院或博物馆，早逝风险也能降低14%。

"While other health behaviors like smoking, alcohol and exercise are undoubtedly bigger predictors of mortality, these leisure and pleasure activities that people don't think of as a health related activity do support good health and longevity," said Daisy Fancourt, an associate professor at UCL's Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health.
伦敦大学学院行为科学和健康研究部门的副教授黛西·范克特说："虽然其他健康行为如吸烟、饮酒和运动无疑更能预测死亡率，但这些人们认为与健康无关的休闲娱乐活动也有利于健康长寿"。

Fancourt said that engaging with the arts can act as a buffer against stress and build creativity that allows people to adapt to changing circumstances. 
范克特说，参加艺术活动可以缓解压力，培养创造力，让人们适应不断变化的环境。

It also helps people build social capital - accessing emotional support and information that helps people age more successfully.
它还帮助人们建立社会资本——获得情感支持，以及更加从容应对老龄的信息。

>Decoding sleep paralysis
科学揭秘'鬼压床'的真相

You jerk awake in the middle of the night in confusion.
半夜里你突然莫名其妙地惊醒。

Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room?
房间的角落似乎有个人影。

Your brain begs your limbs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases.
你想要动动四肢，但却动弹不得。你越来越焦虑。

Your eyes scan the room. Just as you're about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.
你的眼睛扫视着房间。就在你的恐慌情绪即将达到顶峰时，你坐起来了，那个人影也消失了。

You've just experienced sleep paralysis, one of many "parasomnias," which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep.
你刚刚经历了睡眠瘫痪，它是众多睡眠异常的一种。专家用睡眠异常来指代睡觉时发生的各种怪异事情。

Sleep paralysis happens when the brain incapacitates the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (or, rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking.
大脑为了阻止身体对异相睡眠(或快速眼动睡眠)期的生动梦境做出回应而使身体失去活动能力时，就会发生睡眠瘫痪，常常伴随着一种无法行动的感觉和一种窒息感。

While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations, seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon.
研究这一现象的科研人员巴拉德·贾拉尔说，并非每个人都在睡眠瘫痪时都会出现幻象，最常见的幻象是看到房间内有人或有鬼。

Hallucinations vary by culture - the Chinese call it "guiyachuang" or ghost pressure because they believe a ghost sits on people's chests.
这种幻觉因文化而异——中国人称之为"鬼压床"，因为他们相信鬼怪会坐在人们的胸膛上。

In Newfoundland, it is the "old hag" because people see a witch and in Egypt people see Jinn, which are known to hunt and sometimes kill their victims.
在纽芬兰，人们称之为"老巫婆"，因为人们出现的幻觉里有一个巫婆。在埃及，人们看到的是精灵，精灵以狩猎闻名，有时会杀死他们的猎物。

>Enrollment plan targets basics
36所高校试点'强基计划'

The Ministry of Education launched a pilot enrollment plan for colleges on Wednesday that will replace China's independent enrollment scheme this year.
教育部15日发布文件称，2020年起，不再组织开展高校自主招生工作，在部分高校开展基础学科招生改革试点(也称强基计划)。

The "strengthening basic disciplines plan" at 36 top universities focuses on students with special talents in majors in basic disciplines including math, physics, chemistry, biology, history, philosophy and ancient characters.
"强基计划"将在36所重点高校开展试点，重点选拔数学、物理、化学、生物、历史、哲学、古文字学等基础学科相关专业拔尖的学生。

Students will be able to sign up for the plan in April. After they take the national college entrance exam (or gaokao) in early June, the 36 universities will release the list of students qualifying for the plan based on their gaokao scores. The universities should then give those students written and physical tests and interviews before releasing final enrollment lists by July 5.
学生可在4月份报名"强基计划"；6月初高考结束后，参与该计划的36所高校将根据高考成绩确定入围学生名单；之后，高校组织对入围学生进行笔试、口试及体检等考核，并在7月5日前公布最终录取名单。
