It’s Google Doodle Time!
Whether it’s to honor a person or an event, Google often changes its logo (公司或组织的标识). The special logos are known as Doodles. Google has a team of artists and engineers who work on the designs full-time. However, some of the most lovable Google Doodles don’t come from Google itself. They’re the winners of the company’s Doodle 4 Google contest (竞赛), in which the company invites students from kindergarten through 12th grade to make Doodles on a theme (主题) that’s been designed to make them creative. Last year’s theme was “My Best Day Ever.” Some kids created Doodles about a day they hope to experience in the future. Doodle 4 Google 2014 encourages kids to share ideas on how to make the world better.
On Wednesday, May 21, Audrey Zhang was chosen as the winner out of more than 100,000 kids. The fifth grader’s Doodle, “Back to Mother Nature,” shows a life – changing water purifier (净水器). To help Audrey make a difference, Google is giving $20,000 in her name to help bring clean water and toilets to 10 schools in Bangladesh, Asia.
Audrey is eleven years old, and has been drawing since age 2. Although very young, she already knows she wants to work on art in the future. “If you don’t draw, then you can’t show anyone else what your ideas look like,” she said.
Last year, Audrey reached the final game of the contest. Her success continued this year when she was named the New York state winner. After the announcement (宣布) of the 50 state winners at the end of April, millions of people across the U.S. voted for their favorites. On Wednesday, all 50 state winners came to Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California for a day of art and technology discussions. After that, the winner in each age group and the national winner Audrey were announced.
Besides the clean water and toilets mentioned above, Audrey’s school will receive $50,000 from Google for a computer lab or technology program. Audrey will personally take home $30,000 for college education. Now she’ll work with Google’s team of professional doodlers to make her design lively.

People who argue and disagree for unimportant reasons are at an increased risk of dying young, according to a new study. Frequent quarrels (争吵) in family life and work not only destroy their happiness, they also leave them feeling upset. Danish researchers found men and women who are often in quarrels are two to three times more likely to die young.
They examined nearly 9,875 men and women aged between 36 and 52 to note the influence of quarrels rates on early death. They were asked about their relationship (关系) with friends, family, children and co-worker
