中国人对猴的喜爱由来已久。位于北京平谷距今六七千年前的一处新石器时代文化遗址中,曾出土了一件小石猴雕塑,它头部如猴形,下身似蝉状,被考证为人类早期的辟邪饰物。
二十四节气是古人订立用以指导农业生产的农事历法,早见于汉代刘安的《淮南子》。所谓节气,即时节和气候。古人在观天识象的基础上,对每个季节进行了精细的划分:“五日为一候,三候为一气,一岁有二十四节气。”

By usingthis method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods tothe environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane(甲烷)that keeps 30 times more heat than CO2. As well asmaking the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the riskof a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.

We allknow that rice, wheat and corn are staples, but do you know there is anotherkind of staple food—potatoes? Potatoes have many advantages. Theyare a good source of vitamin C and potassium(钾).

Potatoes are easy togrow. It can be grown in both the north and the south during winter, spring andautumn. The plant is also able to bear drought(干旱). Some areas of China arefacing water shortages, so the potato is safe to grow.

①雪花平平仄仄落下来,散在我的脸上,像针,刺入肌肤。这痛告诉我,自己还在这个城市活着。②寒冷。这是这个城市,在这个夜晚,留给我唯一真实的印记。③三年了,一千多个日夜,我三次告别父母,远走他乡,在这个城市开始自己的事业。但最终,三次创业换来的结局,是最初的壮志雄心成了今晚口袋里仅剩的十五块钱。我淡淡发笑,索性把这十五块钱,再换成三罐啤酒,一无所有,大概,不过如此吧。
在此基础上,诞生了完整的二十四节气。用今天的天文学来解释,地球轨道投影到太阳系模型上形成的坐标系,为黄道坐标系。黄经,将这个坐标系的横轴,以春分为起点,自西向东度量,分360度,共有二十四个等份,每份15度,为一个节气。基本规律是:每月两节不变更,最多相差一两天。上半年是6日和21日,下半年是8日和23日。古人将每月的第一个节气称为“节”,每月的第二个节气称为“气”。“节”和“气”交替出现,各历时15天左右,如:在4月份有清明和谷雨两个节气。二十节气中,反映四季变化的节气有:立春、立夏、立秋、立冬、春分、秋分、夏至、冬至8个节气;反映气候变化的有:小暑、大暑、处暑、小寒、大寒5个节气;反映天气现象的有:雨水、谷雨、白露、寒露、霜降、小雪、大雪7个节气;反映物候现象的有:惊蛰、清明、小满、芒种四个节气;可以毫不夸张地说,二十四节气传统历法的关键和核心。
怀化地处武陵、雪峰两大山脉之间,森林覆盖率高达70. 83%,素有“广木之乡、水果之乡、药材之乡”的美誉。水能理论蕴藏量499万千瓦,是全国十大水电基地的主体地带。有中药材1900多个品种,其中175 种国家重点中药材,茯苓、天麻产量居全国第一。硅砂、重晶石储量居全国前列,黄金、铜、磷储量分居湖南第一、三、四位。怀化高新技术产业开发区位于贵阳-重庆-宜昌-长沙-桂林这一半径400公里的环形空间中心。其东西对接长三角经济区、长株潭两型试验区与成渝经济区,连接新丝绸之路“渝新欧”国际铁路大通道;南北对接环北部湾、珠三角与长江经济带。这里是商贸物流的最佳辐射半径,是投资兴业的黄金投资圈。
人脸识别技术,可以很好地解决身份证、社保卡等容易丢失或被盗的问题。在授权的应用程序上,用户刷脸完成身份核验后,就能领取电子交通卡、电子社保卡等,不再需要随身携带实体证件。部分人担心的因化妆等使容颜发生变化的问题,要看具体情况。机器可识列化妆,但若整容幅度过大,或脸部信息随着年龄增长而改变,则可能无法识别。不过,使用者只需去系统更新脸部照片就可解决。进入“弱隐私”时代刷脸支付就好比是一把“芝麻开门”的钥匙,开启系统进入应用过程中,大量用户的“人脸”信息被采集并储存。与之连通的商业机构等均有可能“正当”地获取用户的个人信息,包括姓名、职业、手机号……还有你的脸,甚至你不同的表情等。在信息即价值的时代,这样精准翔实的“立体”资料,必将成为各方环伺围猎的目标。但并不是说,“人脸”被收录就必然指向泄漏,乃至被用来行骗牟利;只是刷脸技术的成熟,让我们真正进入了一个“弱隐私”时代。加之行业内各自为政,缺乏统一标准,使得形势更为严峻。
目前市面上的防晒霜大致分为两种:物理性防晒霜和化学性防晒霜。物理性防晒霜中主要含有二氧化钛或者氧化锌,通过反射阳光起到保护皮肤的作用;化学性防晒霜含有人工合成有机物,通过吸收和过滤紫外线来降低对皮肤的伤害。两种防晒霜各有优缺点,分别受到不同肤质人群的喜爱。化学性防晒霜中比较常见的防晒剂有羟苯甲酮、甲氧基肉桂酸辛酯,有研究人员在实验室和数个热带野外地区发现,羟苯甲酮可能威胁到海洋生物,尤其是珊瑚的生存。研究表明,由于游客众多,在一些热门旅游地,每年有大量防晒霜终被冲刷到珊瑚礁中,当一段时间内,某片海城内化学成分产生生物富集作用,珊瑚就会驱逐共生在它们身上的藻类,也就是产生珊瑚的“白化”现象。如果这一现象持续下去,珊瑚可能会死亡。
