Can someone please revise my summary? Thanks From a long time ago, philosophers and psychologists have discussed the importance of self-control for a long time. In terms of scientific study nowadays, there are hundreds of studies showing that the benefits of self-control at school and at work. But, what happened if people don’t have enough self-control at work? According to research, self-control is a limited resource. If people don’t replenish, it may have negative effects of self-control in the future. For example, managers who always need to smile at their customer may show impoliteness to their subordinates. There are some consequences related to the lack of self-control: First of all, people increase deviant behavior. Secondly, they decrease volunteer behavior. Thirdly, they lower the job performance. Finally, leaders without the self-control tend to form a negative atmosphere, causing the counter-productive results. Without doubts, it’s critical for companies to help employees maintain self-control. There are three key factors to solve the problem. First, people who have enough sleep can exercise more self-control. Also, working for long hours can be detrimental to the efficiency. Second, service-oriented employees should not hide their emotions, otherwise, it may cause burnout and lower satisfaction afterward. Finally, establishing an ethical culture can prevent employees from taking up unethical things.

Can someone please revise my summary? Thanks! The author finds that she was pregnant after she signed up for the marathon. Since her first baby was born several weeks before the marathon, she believes the marathon was the cause. Therefore, she thought she may not attend the race. However, before the race day, she didn’t feel any sign of the baby’s arriving. Thus, she decided to run slower than usual, without the intention of breaking the record. During the race, everyone was so supportive and didn’t judge her because of her pregnancy. Finally, she finished the race with her husband. After the race, she felt contractions and they decided to go toward the hospital. It took her four hours to give birth and she thought it was much harder than the marathon. The baby is named June and knows what happened on that day. Therefore, she easily connects giving birth to the marathon. Finally, the author still loves running and wants to challenge a 100km race next time.

Can someone please revise my summary? Thanks! The salary of college graduates has grown since 1963 whereas wages for people without high-school diplomas dropped. The recent rise in earnings for skilled workers is uncommon. There were 2 declines in wage differences in the past. In the 14th century, because the interest rates were high and life expectancy was short, very few people were willing to spend time on an apprenticeship in order to become a craftsman. However, when the Black Death struck England, the interest rates plummeted, causing the increased number of skilled workers. Therefore, the wage premium dropped. Another decline happened due to the Industrial Revolution. Many craftsmen were replaced by machines, which were operated by workers with few months’ training. Hence, the wages of skilled workers declined and not recovered until 1960. Nowadays, companies favored skilled workers produced by universities but this phenomenon may not continue because of the artificial intelligence. According to the projections of America’s Bureau of Labor, there are 4 out of 5 occupations without the need for bachelor’s degree. In addition, companies have a tendency to replace those employers who have a wage premium.

Summary: Paris-Style Attacks- I need someone to check my summary, thanks! Terrorists change their approach to attack. The assault on Paris in 2017 was not regarded as a typical terrorist attack. In the past, they tended to use suicide bombs whereas nowadays they are more likely to use guns and cause more casualties. According to Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, he thinks it was an urban warfare model of attack, which is to make the urban area as a battleground and prolong the terror, thus terrorists can survive much longer. For example, the attack in Mumbai in 2008 was considered successful by terrorists and they tried to emulate this for some time. In the Paris attack, the shooters were believed to be trained by the member of al-Qaida. Normally al-Qaida focuses very complicated bombs onto the plane, but the group keeps involving. Afterall, all they want is to make the maximum impact. For terrorists, the appeal of this kind of attack is that it only needs people with guns and can have maximum effect. On the contrary, the Commando-style attack needs some training. The question is that whether this type of attack will be prevalent in the future? The director of MI5 warned that Britain is prone to encounter the Paris-style attacks and America may face the jihadist attack in the future. The good news is that these Paris-style attacks require plotters, thus easily prevented by the police in advance. source:http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_world_/2015/01/09/charlie_hebdo_are_paris_style_attacks_the_future_of_terrorism.html

Summary: Artificial intelligence can tell by how you use your mouse Can someone help me to make the writing more natural? Thanks Every year, many people have their identities stolen online. Nowadays, Unlike the traditional methods including face to face interviews, researchers can use just a few clicks of a mouse to detect the remote fraud. For example, Italian researchers designed an experiment containing simple yes-or-no questions and some unexpected questions related to the person, and asked some volunteers to memory the fake information. Testers who were imposters would need more response time based on the unexpected questions. Also, because of this unexpected questions adding to the machine learning, the accuracy of detecting the truth can increase from 77.5~85% to 90~95%. According to Giorgio Ganis, a cognitive neuroscientist, in the real world, people can apply this concept to the first check in a criminal investigation, verify identities online and cull terrorists from refugees. However, he also states that it’s not a useful tool to catch criminals. Smart criminals may spend a lot of time getting the detail of the victims, making the surprising questions harder to find.
