In soccer the players have to use their heads. If the ball comes towards them high in the air, they are not allowed to use their hands or arms. So if they want to stop the ball or send it in another direction, they often have to use their heads to do it.
There is also another meaning for the phrase “use your head.” But this time the word “head” is not used to mean the outside parts of your head. Sometimes, when a person asks you to use your head they are talking about the brain that is inside of your head.
If a teacher asks a student a question and the student cannot think of the answer, but the teacher knows it is possible if the student just tries harder, the teacher can say, “use your head.” In this case, it means to think harder, to use your brain.

Sometimes people just do not want to think or have not thought hard enough. They need someone else to remind them that if they use the brain inside their heads it will probably make finding the answer to a problem easier.

足球比賽中,足球員必須用到頭。假如球從高空來,足球員不准用手或手臂接球。所以,假如他們想阻止球或將球送到另一個方向,他們通常必須用頭頂。
「use your head」還有另一個意思。不過,「head」在這裡不是指你的頭顱。有時候,當人們要你「use your head」時,他們是在談你的頭腦。
假如老師問學生問題,學生無法想出答案,但老師知道假如學生再努力思考就可能想到時,老師就可以說「use your head」。在這個例子中,這個片語意指要努力思考,運用腦袋。
有時候人們就是不願思考,或是想得不夠多。他們需要別人來提醒他們︰假如他們運用腦袋,可能就更容易找出問題的解答。 (翻譯︰賴美君)
Tangbao are one of the most internationally renowned delicacies, that win the hearts of both locals and tourists. Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper. Tangbao are served in a bamboo steamer in which they are steamed, not only adding to the visual appearance, but ensuring they do not get cold before reaching the table.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the
Have you ever wished for an extra hour to prepare for exams or finish homework? In some countries, people actually adjust their clocks to gain or lose an hour, all for the sake of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Specifically, clocks are set forward by an hour in March and then set back in November. One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
