英国加的夫大学现代史教授玛丽·海曼则认为，这些财宝被埋藏的时间距1921年不远。在她看 来，"那是一个不稳定的时期，经济下滑，失业现象普遍。因此，当时有人想到埋藏黄金并不奇怪"，若 是埋藏于二战前后，则应该有那一时期铸造的金币。 这批神秘财宝引发了当地民众关注。博物馆方面接到很多热心居民的电话，希望能为它们的来源提 供线索。 有人猜测它来自周边某个名门望族，有人认为它是某场战争的战利品，还有人认为它的主人是收藏 家、博物馆工作人员甚至江洋大盗。 新华社北京5月21日电 两名登山者在捷克东北部地区爬山时，意外发现一箱财宝，其中包括598枚 金币、金首饰以及日用品，估计价值至少36万美元。 据美国有线电视新闻网20日报道，这两名不愿公开姓名的登山者在捷克热门徒步地克尔科诺谢山爬 山时，超近道穿过一片森林。此时，他们注意到一面石墙内有一个箱子，里面装着10个金手镯、17个金 属雪茄盒、一个粉盒、一把梳子和多达598枚金币。 两人赶忙把宝藏送去附近小镇的东波西米亚博物馆鉴定。博物馆考古部门负责人米罗斯拉夫·诺瓦 克说，钱币专家看到上述物品后曾前往发现地调查。目前，这些财宝主人的身份和藏匿原因仍有待商 榷，但有一点可以 ...

"仅退款"规则调整是新起点，平台要扮演好"中间人""协调者"角色，兼顾消费者和商家权益保护 前几天，笔者网购一把梳子，拆开包裹一看，有根梳齿断了，就申请退款。摁下申请键，不久商家审核 结果出来了——退款不退货。梳子自行处理，货款很快退回。 选择"仅退款"与否，由商家和消费者自行协商，将成为网购新态。最近，各大电商平台宣布对"仅退 款"机制调整优化，未来平台不再主动介入消费者收货后的"退款不退货"申请。"仅退款"规则变化受关 注，折射出社会对更加公平规范的电商新秩序的期待。 所谓"仅退款"，是指消费者在电商平台购物后，如对商品不满意，可向平台发起无需退货的退款申请， 在平台支持下实现极速退款。这一过程中，商户往往没有合理的处理时间，事后申诉成功率也很低。 （文章来源：人民日报） 平台实行"仅退款"的初衷，是保护消费者权益、增加用户黏性。一些低价值小商品、不具备二次销售价 值的货品可以"仅退款"，消费者省去了沟通成本、物流成本，体验更佳。除了花式"宠客"争夺消费者以 外，"仅退款"也震慑着一些制假贩劣、虚假发货的无良商家。 但在实施过程中，"仅退款"规则也有漏洞，出现不少诚实商家被"误伤"的情况。一些"羊毛党"用 ...

环球时报消息，美国人的家里有多少来自中国的商品？美国《纽约时报》在一篇于当地时间4月27日发布 的报道中，用一组相当直观和生动的视觉图片，给出了问题的答案。 如下图所示，《纽约时报》的这篇最新报道用一个包含各种家居用品的美国家庭户型图，呈现了从中国进 口的产品与美国人生活的紧密联系。 根据该报的视觉设计，图中产品的颜色越偏红色，就越依赖从中国进口。 于是，像急救用具、闹钟、婴儿车、烤面包机等美国家庭几乎离不开的产品，就几乎全部要靠从中国进 口。而这也就意味着，美国政府对中国加征的关税将直接导致这些产品变得更贵，最后是美国家庭来买 单。 接下来，该报开始一个房间一个房间地讲解美国人在哪些产品上尤其依赖中国。首先是厨房，这里诸如剪 刀、开罐器、保温杯、餐盘、餐具、平底锅、蒸锅、厨房刀具都相当依赖从中国的进口，比例都超过了 70%。 在厨房家电和大型家具方面，美国同样需要从中国进口相当比例的这类产品。其中微波炉对中国进口的依 赖比重超过了90%，冰箱则为52%，灶台51%。而咖啡机、铁架子、空气炸锅等产品虽然依赖中国进口的 在阳台区域，美国家庭需要用到的从椅子到遮阳伞再到炭火烤架，则是一边倒的要依赖中国进口。比例都 ...
