3．A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture．A new finding suggests that parents，social workers，psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words．
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion，those of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University．Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally．
Previous research，for example，has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers； when asked，say"Did you drink juice at the picnic？"the child is likely to say"yes"even if no juice had been available．It is not that the child is consciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory．
To avoid this problem，social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions，such as"What did you have at the picnic？"But an open-ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a detailed question．That is，children become likely to answer falsely．
And it isn't just a few kids：77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture．Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little kids，Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases．"It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children．"
In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to"try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event．Otherwise，you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened．"

2．Warm weather brought by El Nino has had mixed effects on animals in usually snowy places in North America，including New England，according to an Associated Press article．
Some animals seem to benefit from having a chance to gather more food before winter，and from expending less energy in daily survival mode．Others，like snowshoe hares，are put at center stage in predators'（捕食者） view when they lack snow for disguising their white fur-not a god thing for them，of course．
Black bears，on the other hand，have been keeping busy gathering nuts and apples，when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now．Vermont and Massachusetts officials have asked residents to wait till snow falls to take out their bird feeders for the sake of safety，the article said．
"We suggest waiting for 6or more inches of snow that lasts before taking out your bird feeders，especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood，"Forrest Hammond，Vermont Fish and Wildlife's bear biologist，said in the article．"Due to lack of snow and frozen ground，birds are able to seek food in fields and forests for their natural foods．"
Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quickly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation（冬眠），noted Hammond in the article．This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes，and also hides them from predators．
