15．Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．
"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers，"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．"Shoes serve a practical purpose，and also serve as nonverbal cues （暗示） with symbolic messages．People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear．"
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits （特性） detected in the study include a person's general age，their gender，income，political affiliation，and other personality traits，including someone's emotional stability．
Lead researcher OmriGillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
So，what do your shoes say about your personality？
Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts（外向性格的人）．
However，some of the more specific results are interesting．For example，"practical and functional"shoes were generally worn by more"agreeable"people，while ankle boots were more closely aligned （与…结盟） with"aggressive"personalities．
The strangest of all may be that those who wore"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending an inordinate （过度的） amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities．

13．The grasslandscenery（景色）of Tibet is too beautiful for words．
20．Nothing is more tiresome than being stuck in a boring class．Every second takes ages to tick by．A recent survey of American kids revealed that 91 percent experience boredom．In fact，adolescence is considered a peak period for the problem．One study showed that roughly one in three teenagers was bored at school．
Peter Stromberg，professor at the University of Tulsa says，"Our brains adapt really quickly to certain levels of stimulation（刺激）．We get used to the media providing levels of highly emotional stimulation，and when we're not getting them we feel bored．As our society develops various ways of keeping us entertained，we may discover that rather than getting rid of boredom，we're multiplying it．"Luckily，new research is implying a way that we can battle the trend．
Professor John D．Eastwood of the University of York developed a new theory of boredom，which links it to the brain's attention system-the part of the brain that we use to focus．Anything the attention system in your brain locks onto will be automatically sucked up into your conscious awareness-it might be a bird outside the window，the pleasant smell of lunch，or even someone sleeping in the back of the class．
The problem is that your attention system doesn't like being told what to do．It wants to focus on stuff that you find fun and interesting．For the parts of school that you enjoy，this isn't a problem．But for those classes that don't interest you，or present too much or too little challenge，the story is very different．In those situations，you're going to have to spend a lot of effort constantly redirecting your attention system to focus on things it would rather ignore．And the effort is going to wear you out．Eastwood describes it as"wanting，but being unable，to be involved in a satisfying activity．"It's like a block in the system．And it's the awareness of that block combined with a sense that the environment is to blame that leads to feelings of boredom．
When we're bored we blame the world around us，but Eastwood's theory challenges this assumption：Boredom doesn't exist out there； it exists inside your brain．What that means is-hard as it may be to hear-boring lessons aren't only the fault of your teacher or the subject，they're your fault too．
