6．As the Internet becomes more and more popular，many network buzzwords （网络流行语） have appeared in our life．Here are some of them in no particular order．
1．Meng Meng Da （cute/adorable）
Meng Meng Da develops from the sounds of kissing both cheeks．The characters"么么哒"are often used in text messaging to symbolize kisses，much like"XOXO"in English．The kissing sounds were eventually replaced with"meng"，which means"cute"or"adorable．"
2．It is to be cherished（珍惜）．
On March 31，2014，Ma Yili responded to Wen Zhang's cheating on Sina Weibo．It reads as follows：Being in love is easy，being married is not．It is to be cherished．Soon many Internet users began to make sentences with this pattern．For example，"Copying is easy，creating is not．It is to be cherished．"
3．So the question is…
"So the question is…"is taken from the advertising of Lanxiang Vocational School in Shandong Province："So the question is：Which school offers the best excavator（挖掘机） skills？Go to Shandong and find Lanxiang．"Netizens add the phrase"now here comes the question"before the question"which school has the best excavator skills？"，which can also be followed with other questions"．
4．Rich and Bitch（任性）
The buzzword originates from a real event：A while back，a Mr．Liu spent 1760yuan online buying a health care product．In the following four months，Mr．Liu remitted （汇款） more than half a million yuan to the swindler．When reporters interviewed him，he said that he had already found himself cheated after spending only 70，000yuan．"I just wanted to see how much they could take from me!"Sometimes it is translated as，"You can just be stubborn if you're rich．"．Another way to understand it is"I can do what I want-I'm rich．"

5．As we know，it is common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds．However，scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds．
Many people think that once you get infected by colds，you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life．That's not the case．There are about 200different viruses that cause the common cold．You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time，but you might catch a cold next time because of another．
Others believe that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter．That is also wrong．
It's because people tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted  from one person to another through handshakes，sneezing，or coughing．
While there is no actual cure for the common cold，scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you．Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds．Especially honey．There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children．Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold．
In addition，if you do have a cold and you don't feel like eating anything，it's not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds．That's very important．Though there is more than one way to deal with colds，doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you．

4．As any plane passenger will confirm，a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore，no matter how hard you try．Now scientists believe they may have worked out why．A baby's cry pulls at the heartstrings（扣人心弦） in a way while other cries don't，researchers found．
Researchers found that a baby's cry can trigger  unique emotional responses in the brain，making it impossible for us to ignore them---whether we are parents or not．Other types of cries，including calls of animals in great pain，fail to get the same response---suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby's cry．
A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries．After 100milliseconds two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up．Their response to a baby's cry was particularly strong．The response was seen in both men and women-even if they had no children．
Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said，"You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it，but it's not true．There is a special processing in men and women，which makes sense from an evolutionary（演变的） view that both men and women would be responding to these cries．"The study was in people who were not parents，yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries，so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status．
Researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child's cries because they need to do more"fine-grained analysis"．The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying．Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying．

3．Green is an important color in nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．
Sometimes，the word green means young，fresh and growing．Sometimes，it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished．A greenhorn is someone who has no experience．who is new to a situation．But in the fifteenth century，a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose home had not yet developed．A century or so later，a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle．By the eighteenth century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job．
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb．The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds．A person，with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well．You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died．
The green-eyed monster is not a nightening creature from outer space，It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello．"It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants．A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else．Or，that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not．
In most places in the world，a green light is a signal to move ahead．A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on．In everyday speech，a green light means approval to continue with a project．
