Though they have been around since the late 1990's, emoji usage has increased sharply with the wide use of smartphones.
Recently, a team from the University of Michigan and Peking University analyzed 427 million messages sent by users in 212 countries to look into the differences in emoji use by location and culture. The findings indicated the French are emoji power users and included them in 19.7% of their texts. It's almost twice that of Russia, where only 10.9% of the messages contained emojis. Americans came in a close third at 9.2% and was followed by Mexico at 7.9%.
Also, though the
easily wins the title as the most popular emoji, the French appear to prefer the 
. They are also more likely to use variations of the heart emoji.Not surprisingly, the study found that women tend to use emojis more widely than men. However, they stick to a handful of favorites. Men, on the other hand, show better judgment and appear to go to extra length to find an emoji that matches the situation. But even so, they select from the top 119 of the 1281 emojis available.
The researchers say people living in Australia and France who believe one person's need is greater than that of a society or group, used happier emojis. Conversely, those from countries with closely-connected societies, like Colombia, prefer using sad or angry emojis.
Also, cultures like Turkey and Russia, known for their strictness, appeared to be more satisfied, at least according to the emojis. On the other hand, people in tolerant cultures, like Mexico, seemed unhappy or dissatisfied.
The researchers believe the findings of this "first large-scale analysis of emoji usage" will help develop input methods (输入法) and perhaps even increase our emoji vocabulary! Who knew the tiny image we add to brighten up our texts could show so much about our culture?
1.How are men different from women in using emojis?
A. Men often choose the seldom used emojis.
B. Men use more variations of the heart emoji.
C. Men can better match the emojis with the situation.
D. Men use emojis more casually than women do.
2.What does the underlined word "Conversely" mean?
A. In general. B. On the opposite.
C. In other words. D. As a result.
3.What did researchers find in the study?
A. Emojis can show people's true feelings.
B. The invention of smartphones brought emojis into being.
C. Emojis could strengthen relationships between people.
D. The choice of emoji is influenced by our culture.

High Housing Cost Makes Sub-Divided Flats
HONG KONG—Average home price have increased by73% since the end of 2008.This huge jump in home price has pushed more and more low income families into sub-divided flats.
What is a sub-divided flat? It is a flat that is divided into parts, so that it can house more than one family. Many sub-divided flats do not meet fire-safety standards (标准）.For example, some flat owners have turned fire escape exits into part of their own rooms.
In June 2011, a fire happened in an old eight-storey building and left four people dead. That building was filled with sub-divided flats, some as small as 100 square feet. Many people believed that sub-divided flats were one of the causes for the accident. Since then, the government has paid more attention to the housing problem.
The best way to lower housing prices is to increase the number of flats; however, the best way may not be the easiest way. To lower housing prices, the government said that 20,000 new flats must be added every year for the next ten years.
Even if government could provide land for 20,000 flats a year, we would not know how much that would affect the housing market. One thing is for certain, Hong Kong’s housing problem will not soon go away and will be with us for a very long time.
