Do you use emojis to show your feelings? The SwiftKey, a company did research on the number of emojis used in the world. The result shows the top three most-used emojis are happy faces(44.8%),sad faces(14.33%) and hearts(12.5%).
The company also found out people in different countries have their own favourite emojis.
No one can beat Americans when it comes to their love of pizza. Pizza is the most widely used emoji in the US, as well as the chicken emoji. It shows that compared with other countries, America has interesting food habits.
The French are as romantic as we've known all along. They use the heart emoji four times more than people in other countries.
Russians also like using romantic emojis. Maybe it's all those low temperatures that make them look for love—they use more cold weather emojis than any other countries as well.
Surprisingly, it seems that Arabic speakers also like showing love with emoiis. Among Arabic speakers, the rose emoji is used ten times more than any other group studied.
English speakers that live in the UK like using more lovely emojis. The study showed that British emoji users especially like to send the winking* smiley face.

When people go to the movies today, they can watch and listen to a story. But when the movie first appeared (出现) many years ago, there was no sound or music. Those silent (无声的) movies play an important role in movie history.
When movie theatres showed silent movies, musicians were often there to play music along with the movie. Sometimes, musicians also made some special sounds. However, there was no sound in the movie itself. People learnt the story through the actors, the musicians and words on the screen. When movies first had sound, not everyone liked it. Many silent movie actors thought it was hard to act in the new kind of movies. Clara Bow was a famous silent-movie actress in the early 1920s. She was so nervous (紧张的) about her voice that she couldn't become a star in the world of talking pictures. She then left show business (演艺界).
The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first movie with sound. Talking pictures became a big success, and there were more and more movies like that. Later, silent movies became history.
