Algorithms are also used to tailor the content to what we are likely to interact with, which isn't necessarily pleasant.算法也常被用来根据我们可能互动的内容进行个性化推送,而这些内容未必是令人愉快的。
For one thing, we tend to pay more attention to a situation that has caused anger than one that has created happiness since action needs to be taken to resolve an issue, while happiness suggests that everything is OK.一方面,我们往往更关注引发愤怒的情境,而不是带来快乐的情境,因为解决问题需要采取行动,而快乐则暗示一切顺利。
However, with the popularity of social media, we can post content and immediately get a reply, non-stop 24hours a day so that it can feel like we no longer have that escape.然而,随着社交媒体的普及,我们可以发布内容并立即得到回复,一天24小时不间断,以至于让人觉得我们似乎再也无法从中抽离出来了。
Furthermore, the associated metadate -- information on the age o f the sample, where it was found, how the DNA was gathered and chemically treated, and so on -- are frequently inaccurate and incomplete.此外,相关的元数据——例如样本的年代、发现地点、DNA的采集与化学处理方法等信息——常常不准确且不完整。
Earlier this year, some experts assessed what data had been upload into publicly accessible database by the authors of 42 studies of ancient DNA published in the journals Nature, Science and Cell, between 2021 and 2023.今年早些时候,一些专家评估了2021年至2023年间发表在《自然》《科学》和《细胞》期刊上的42项古代DNA研究的作者,上传到可公开访问的数据库中的数据情况。
In about half of the papers, researchers achieved only those sequences that they had managed to match a reference genome, leaving no record of the unmatched sequences.在大约一半的论文中,研究人员仅获得了那些能与参考基因组成功匹配的序列,而没有记录下未能匹配的序列。
But improvements in computational methods and more complete reference genomes could enable researchers to match such sequences on the future.但随着计算方法的改进和更完整的参考基因组的出现,研究人员未来有望能够匹配这些序列。
Also, even if some of the unmatched sequences are not from the species of interest, they could be among the most interesting in the data set, especially if they originated form disease-causing microorganisms that infected the most.此外,即使某些未能匹配的序列并非来自所研究的物种,它们也可能是数据集中最有趣的序列之一,尤其是当它们源自感染宿主的致病微生物时。
The study of ancient microorganisms has become a field in its own right and is transforming our understanding of the history of many infectious diseases.对古代微生物的研究已经成为一个独立的领域,并正在改变我们对许多传染病历史的理解。

Make Our Campus More Beautiful
One problem I often notice is that some students leave trash on the lawn after lunch. Also, the bicycle parking area is always messy, which makes our campus look untidy.
To improve this, I suggest placing more trash bins near the lawn and sports ground. For bike parking, we can paint clear lines to guide students where to park.
Small actions can make a big difference. Let’s take responsibility and work together to make our campus cleaner and more beautiful.
