>Set-jetting tourism goes viral
影視劇取景地掀旅游潮
If you want to know where next year's most in-demand travel destination may be, just look at the next few months' releases of movies and TV shows. The "set-jetting" trend seems to be having a bit of a moment, and tourism boards are scrambling to make the most of it. "Game of Thrones" has irrevocably changed tourism in the ancient Croatian city of Dubrovnik; and with the release of "Crazy Rich Asians", the Singapore tourism board ramped up its efforts to lure set-jetters eager to experience the lavish lifestyle depicted in the film. In addition, Vogue reported that Monterey, California, had seen a bump in tourism since "Big Little Lies" premiered; and the British seaside region of Cornwall has had an influx of international visitors thanks to the BBC period drama series "Poldark".

>Asians top in inequality
亞裔在美收入差距最大
Asian-Americans are now the most economically divided racial or ethnic group in the US, displacing African-Americans, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of US Census Bureau data. Income inequality among Asian-Americans has nearly doubled from 1970 to 2016. While rich Asians have become the highest-earning group in the nation, income growth among poor Asians has largely stagnated. This trend mirrors that of other racial groups, though income inequality has accelerated fastest among Asians. By 2016, Asians in the top 10th of income distribution earned about $120,000 more than those in the bottom 10th. Disparities among Asian-Americans are primarily driven by the different levels of education, skills and English-language proficiency among the many groups that make up the diaspora. People from India and China have higher incomes than those from Southeast Asia because they have higher levels of education on average.
皮尤研究中心對(duì)美國人口普查局的數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行的最新分析顯示，如今，亞裔美國人取代非洲裔美國人成為美國經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況差距最大的種族或民族。1970年到2016年，亞裔美國人的收入不平等水平幾乎翻了一番。雖然富裕的亞裔已成為美國收入最高的群體，但貧困亞裔的收入水平基本上沒有增長。同樣的情況在其他族裔群體中也存在，但亞裔人群中的收入不平等的程度卻增長得最快。截至2016年，能夠獲得收入分配中最高的10%的亞裔比獲得最低10%的亞裔約多賺12萬美元。亞裔美國人來自許多不同的移民群體，他們的收入差距主要是因教育水平、技能和英語熟練程度的不同引起的。來自印度和中國的移民比來自東南亞的移民收入更高，因?yàn)榍罢叩钠骄芙逃潭雀摺?/p>

>Ice found on moon surface
月球兩級(jí)表面存在水冰
Astronomers have found patches of frost scattered around the moon's north and south poles which could one day provide a source of water for human visitors. The scientists spotted the telltale signature of frozen water in infrared measurements taken by NASA's moon mineralogy mapper. Most of the ice was found near the moon's south pole around a cluster of craters. In the north, the patches of ice appeared to be more isolated, according to Shuai Li at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology in Honolulu. Follow-up measurements of the ice patches found that they tended to form where the surface temperature never crept above -163C, but temperature alone was not enough to guarantee frozen water: only 3.5% of the shadowy areas the scientists checked for water revealed notable signs of ice.
天文學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)，一片片冰霜區(qū)零星分布在月球的北極和南極周邊。將來，它們或可為人類訪客提供水源?？茖W(xué)家在美國航天局的月球礦物測繪儀取得的紅外測量結(jié)果中發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些冰凍水的痕跡。大部分的冰是在月球南極附近一系列環(huán)形山的周邊發(fā)現(xiàn)的。位于檀香山的夏威夷地球物理與行星學(xué)研究所的李帥(音)說，月球北極的水冰似乎更偏遠(yuǎn)一些。對(duì)這些冰霜區(qū)的后續(xù)測量發(fā)現(xiàn)，在表面氣溫從不超過零下163攝氏度的地方往往會(huì)形成這種水冰。但溫度本身不足以保證出現(xiàn)冰凍的水：科學(xué)家探測水源經(jīng)過的陰暗地區(qū)中只有3.5%的區(qū)域顯示出明顯的水冰跡象。
