UK top destination for study
For the first time, the UK has overtaken the US as the preferred overas study destination for Chine students, a report relead Sunday showed.
In the survey for the annual Report on Chine Students' Overas Study, the UK was preferred by 42% of respondents, up by 1 percentage point from last year.
Study in the US was preferred by 37% of respondents, down by 6 percentage points. Australia and Canada, both at 16%, tied as the third most popular destinations for overas study, followed by Japan, Germany and Singapore.
The report attributed the shift in students' preferences from the US to the UK to ten Sino-US(中美间的) relations in the past two years and the UK's advantages, such as the reopening of the Post Study Work Visa and quicker graduation requirements.

Sunshine Could Diminish Brain Power
Tho tempted to t up office in the garden as temperatures soar should think twice or put a hat on. New study shows that sunshine could diminish brain power, making it harder to make the right judgments.
事业单位人事Working in hot temperatures is already known to cau hyperthermia – a ri in body temperature – which can cau physical exhaustion. But now scientists say prolonged exposure of the head to the sun also affects the brain's ability to function properly.
A study by university teams in Denmark and Greece said workers could be damaging thei
r brains by working in hot, sunny conditions.
Eight healthy, active males aged between 27 and 41 took part in the rearch. The brain function test consisted of four different computer-bad maths and logic tasks that relied on preci calculations. Four heat lamps were positioned to radiate either on the lower body or the back, side and top of their heads.
Professor Lars Nybo, of the department of nutrition, exerci and sports at the University of Copenhagen, said: "This study provides evidence that direct exposure to sunlight – especially to the head – impairs motor and cognitive performance."
The decline in motor and cognitive performance was obrved at 38.5 degrees. Rearchers said tho expod to sunlight for long periods should cover their heads. Dips in mental performance caud by sunshine could also mean drivers were more likely to make mistakes on the road.
