She was a Jewish physicist who fled Austria to Sweden in 1938 (age 60). With Otto Hahn, she discovered
nuclear fission (核裂变) — splitting atoms to release huge energy. She named “fission” and explained how it
works, though Hahn alone got the 1944 Nobel. She later taught in Sweden and became a global physics icon (偶

Whowilltakecareofgrandmaandgrandpawhennooneisavailable?Thisquestionisbecomingurgentasthe
population is aging rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a
robot.
This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help
with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75, 000 a year for a home health aide and will
over $100, 000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,
000.
Given this affordability, I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could
potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing
technology.Anditcouldfunctionaroundtheclock.I’vetreatedelderlypatientswhohadbeenfoundwanderingthe
streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot -- made possible by improved
battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also
accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their
socialconnections.

Most of us have an “inner voice,” and we assume everybody does. Recent evidence suggests people vary
widely in the extent to which they experience inner speech. The study by cognitive scientists Gary Lupyan and
JohanneNedergaardshowsthesedifferencesarerealandimpactourcognition.
As part of their ongoing research, Lupyan previously assessed 1,037 people using a measure called the
InternalRepresentationsQuestionnaire(IRQ).FortheverbalpartoftheIRQ,participantsindicatedagreementwith
statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself” on a one-to-five
rating.
For their new study, Lupyan and Nedergaard selected 47 participants who scored high for having an inner
voice and 46 who scored low. They then gave participants four language-related tasks they thought might be
influencedbytheuseofinnerspeech.
In the first, participants were shown five words and asked to repeat them back. The second involved saying
whether the names of objects in two pictures rhymed. In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less
accurate.Fortherhymejudgments,peoplewithmoreinnerspeechwerealsofaster.
“This study really tests what inner speech gives us in terms of cognitive benefits,” says psychologist Charles
Fernyhough. The other two experiments tested task switching and participants’ ability to spot differences between
two silhouettes (轮廓图形) that were from either the same or a different category. The groups showed no
differences on these tasks. “People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,” suggests
Lupyan.
The research may have medical implications. “Someone with more inner speech might be more reliant on
language in their thinking,” Lupyan says, “so language difficulty from a stroke (中风) could have a more severe
effect.”
Understanding how inner speech develops has implications for education, says neuroscientist Ladislas
Nalborczyk. “Variations in children’s ability to represent speech sounds may impact their ability to learn the
relation between sounds and writing,” he says. This may affect the way they learn to read and write, which
probablyhasahugeimpactoneducation.The researchers propose giving a lack of inner speech a name: “anendophasia.” “It helps scientists find and
integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the
researchbecomesmoredisorganized.”

Wall Street bankers, investors and economists have for months argued over whether a US recession (衰退) is
coming.But,forsomeAmericans,theunforgivingeconomicpaintypicalduringarecessionhasalreadysetin.
Al Brown and his wife faced a tough call in May when reviewing their weekly budget: what’s a higher
priority,morefoodordishsoap?BasedinConcord,NorthCarolina,Brownwasthemainbreadwinnerforhiswife
and their two children. Then in April, he was let go from his job as a global director of business development at
software company Cascade. He’s since quit his gym membership and sold various items around his home,
includingacomputerandyardfurniture.His13-year-oldsonquitthebasketballteam.

filing over 600 applications, only a handful have produced interviews. That’s a far cry from the labor-market

Investors and economists have been expecting a recession since last year as the Fed (美国联邦储备系统)
raised interest rates to control inflation (通货膨胀). That caused companies to focus on profitability over growth,

“Ithinkit’sunlikelythatIwillgetanothergoodpayingjobwithgreatbenefitsliketheoneIhad,”McCollum,

of layoffs, currently concentrated among white-collar workers, will last throughout the economy through a ‘bigpullback in overall spending’,” Simons said. “Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of economic
