Сегодня мы поговорим о стереотипах и клише русского населения, то есть  русского мужчины и русской женщины. О стереотипах мы поговорим следующим образом: Как люди  видят русских во всём мире? 
Идея к этому подкасту мне пришла следующим образом: спросить всех знакомых и друзей, что они думают о русских, о внешности, характере, русской культуре, о взглядах на жизнь и вот что из этого получилось.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【考研】的话题。2023年全国硕士研究生招生考试将于2022年12月24日至26日举行。这几年考研人数越来越多，2022年的考研人数达到457万，几乎是2018年的两倍。那么为什么这么多人想考研呢？我们来听听以下的报道。
很多人热衷考研，一个很重要的原因就是他们担心本科学历不足以支撑他们找到满意的工作。而通过考研，可以提升学历，未来可以实现更好的就业。我们继续往下看。顾宇刚刚入职苏州一家科技公司，企业开出了年薪18万的待遇。他告诉记者，这样的待遇都得益于三年前做出的考研决定。
顾宇：“现在社会竞争压力这么大，我也是想提升下自己的学历，然后这样子在步入社会以后也更有竞争力。”
顾宇告诉记者，与其说考研是为了逃避就业，不如说是为了更主动地提升就业质量。一项对12.6万名大学生的调查显示，就业前景好和职业发展需要是本科毕业生选择考研的最主要动机。
《中国大学生就业报告》副主编：“主要的大部分的这个原因呢，还是为了提升自己将来在职场上的一个竞争力、主观上对于自己就业现状的满意程度。”
2020届毕业生薪酬数据显示，硕士研究生及以上学历的起薪为7337元，本科生为5102元，大专生为4562元。但业内人士提示，并不是所有的行业研究生学历都有明显优势。专家表示，尽管目前研究生学历在就业市场上是一块不错的敲门砖，但是本科毕业生还是要根据自身情况以及所学专业特点来做决定。
你会选择考研吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

考研 Taking graduate school entrance exam （Advanced level）

This story uses words from '1000 most common words in English'. 


The morning comes quickly because Lemon has slept like a rock. He wakes up remembering his dream: an effortless glide through golden gates guided by angles and eagles.

“Mum, dad, I need to talk to you,” says Lemon. “I’m leaving… I’m going to go find this paradise. I need to see it for myself. I want to feel the soil between my toes and taste the unknown insects.” 

His parents are quiet for a moment. They see in his eyes that this is very important, and they only want what is best for their child. 

His mother speaks first. “You are a sweet child, little Lemon. You have a wonderful mind, brave and curious. You know you’re always welcome here. Our nest is always open.” 

“Mum, of course I’m coming back! I love you two so much and this is my home.” 

Lemon’s father says, “It has been said that there comes a point in a bird’s life when he needs to go beyond the mountains… It happened to my father and my father’s father, but never for me. That time never came. I grew up during the worst winter in known history. I had to work and sacrifice—there was no time for adventures… so, go on, Lemon. Get out there and live your life!” 

“You are the best parents a bird could ever wish for!” 

And with those words, the family hugs, a long hug which, even though freezing winds rip past them, seems to warm them to their very bones.

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health
A new study has found that exercising in the late morning is better for women's heart health than exercising at other times of the day.

Researchers from Leiden University looked at data from the UK Biobank to find out whether the time at which people exercise has an effect on heart health. The data was collected from more than 86,000 women and men with an average age of 62.

Participants' exercise times were recorded over seven days, and heart health was observed for six years. The participants were grouped based on the time of day they exercised, including early morning, late morning, midday and evening.

It was found that women who exercised in the early morning — between around 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — had a 22% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who exercised at midday. Women who exercised in the late morning — between around 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. — had a 24% lower risk.

No significant difference was found for men, or for anyone who exercised in the evening.

The data also showed that women who exercised in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke compared to those who exercised at midday.

The benefits of morning exercise were true both for women who prefer waking up early and those who prefer sleeping late.

Study author Gali Albalak said that although she's not sure why exercising in the morning was found to be better for women than men, the results add to the evidence that morning exercise — and especially late morning exercise — may be best for our health.
