Topic2-Parents Committee Gets Competitive²

Recently, a primary school in Shanghai has found itself in media spotlight³. As the students' parents compete to make the school's parents committee.

One father is a graduate from Peking University, another got a MBA from Wharton Business School, a mother is the president of a well-known company.

Topic3-The science behind 'cute aggression⁴'

How many times have you heard people scream, "It's so cute! I want to eat it up!" while gazing at a cute puppy⁵ or an adorable newborn? How many times have you said that?

Let's face it: When we see something adorable, we can't help but want to squeeze the life out of it. Does that mean that you're going loony?

Don't worry because the answer is no! Recent studies have shown it is completely normal for us to feel these aggressive urges in response to seeing something cute. It's even got a name "cute aggression."
