The number of female suffering from eating disorders is (universal) far higher than male. Chen says the rate of female to male sufferers is (large) than 10 to 1 in China.

A 19-year-old woman, finally ended her two-year fight with anorexia (厌食症), says that she believes fact that female patients are in greater number than male patients is a result of societal expectations.

"One reason that I finally defeated the disease was that I (become) aware that the idea of thinness and weight instilled in women is harmful to my health and how painful and difficult it would be to live with a body like that. But for many going through teenage years, to meet these (standard) of beauty becomes unshakable. I hope to help more women overcome these concepts," says the woman, (use) the nickname Lam.

Andreas Nieder, a scientist who studies how animals' process the idea of "nothing", says zero was discovered recently in human history, and was an important but hard concept.

Previous experiments have shown that honeybees are able to count numbers, but couldn't count very high — only to about four.

Still, that made a team of researchers in Australia and France want to explore what else the bees could do with numbers. Scarlett Howard in the team attracted bees to a wall where they were presented with two square cards. Each card had a different number of black symbols. Howard trained one group of bees to understand that sugar water would always be located under the card with the least number of symbols. "They could come and see two symbols vs three symbols or something like that," she explains. The bees quickly learned to fly to the card with the fewest symbols, an impressive behavior. But then they got another test: The researchers presented the bees with a card that had one symbol or with a blank card that had nothing on it. The bees seemed to understand that "zero" was less than one, because they flew toward the blank card more often than you'd expect.

Aurore Avargues-Weber, a CNRS researcher, points out, even very young children have trouble understanding that zero is a number, because it's not something to count.

She had expected that the bees would see a blank paper as something unimportant that was completely different than what they had been trained on, because brains need to represent something out of nothing to understand zero. It's not minor thing.

What's more, the brains of bees are incredibly tiny brains compared with the brains of humans, Nieder notes. "Bees really have a mini-brain with fewer than one million brain cells," he says, "compared to 86 billion nerve cells in our brain." Even so, the bees can understand the abstract concept of zero and he says he finds that very amazing.

The ban on snacking while travelling has attracted attention. Although there would be exceptions for drinking water, for breastfeeding and for anyone with a medical need to eat, it would apply to adults as well as children. There have been complaints on social media that it would make things harder for those with busy lives who need to eat and drink while travelling to work.

Now no one can clearly tell the link between overweight and a habit of eating while travelling, and Davies doesn't provide much explanation, either. Her idea seems to have come out of the blue.

It is fair to say that most people eating while on public transport are more likely to be devouring a chocolate bar or a packet of crisps. As Davies points out, sweet and salty snacks are thought to lead to overweight. Other studies have also shown that children respond to unhealthy food being advertised on television by eating more of it, and fail to eat less at following meals, which may lead to weight gain. Perhaps the aim of the ban is simply to reduce the opportunities we have for taking in the calories, or maybe it is to stop children seeing the adults around them enjoying these foods.

We can't find out more about the evidence to support the travel snack ban, as Davies has recently stepped Adults with medical needs.

It had been a year since I'd seen Angus, my best friend since childhood. But as kids, then teenagers and into our 20s, we were inseparable, more like brothers than friends. Although both of us were busy with our families and living in different cities — he never felt out of reach.

Angus was waiting in the parking lot of the run-down Ottawa bus station when I stepped off the bus into the hot sun. He drove and we shot the breeze. I felt the mix of comfort and anxiety as you wonder if you still have anything in common. But within minutes we had settled into an easy back and forth.

The next day, Angus and I stood in his garage and got our things organized and put them into boxes. Then, Angus and I rowed at a steady pace on the river. A few hundred yards out, Angus said, " That's where we're going — the Deschênes Rapids (激流)." Before long we heard a loud sound. It was the sound of the rapids. I trembled with fear, but we pressed on. A few minutes later, we crossed a line of small red sign that neither of us recognized as our last warning. "Go for the island!" I shouted. " Too late, " said Angus.

A bigger wave sped toward us. I came up, shook the water from my eyes and saw the dam — a 20-foot-high wall. Then, I heard Angus's voice, calm and confident, right behind me. " Hold on to the canoe (独木舟)," he said. By luck, a few minutes later a small craft with firemen came into view and picked us up. One older fireman said it was a miracle we were alive. Angus and I learned later that the area we had gone through was a dead zone. Between 2007 and 2017, at least six people died or went missing around the dam. All I wanted to do was get home. I started crying, thinking about how close I'd come to never seeing my family again.

Dear Michael.

How are you? These days, I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation.

……

Yours truly,

Li Hua

On March 3, 2022, Jiang Mengnan(receive) the "Touching China" (感动中国) award for 2021. 

In 1992, Jiang Mengnan was born in Hunan. When she was six (month) old, she lost her hearing. From then on, she couldn't hear anything at all and (she) world became silent. Her parents began to teach her to read people's lips (嘴唇) and speak. It was not easy, but her parents never gave up. After a lot practice, Jiang Mengnan learned to speak. 

When Jiang Mengnan(be) old enough, she went to school. She tried to understand what the teachers said by (read) their lips. She worked very hard and overcame a lot of difficulties. She  (final) became a top student. In 2011, she got a high score in gaokao and went to Jilin University. In 2018, she was accepted by Tsinghua University as a PhD (博士) student. 

"I think I am(luck). I want to thank my parents, teachers and friends, have been helping me all the time. And best way to pay them back is to do something good for society," Jiang Mengnan said.

Tim Cameron lost his wallet. Luckily a kind man went out of his way to get his lost wallet back to  (he) in a creative manner.

Tim Cameron lost his wallet on the way home from work and person who found it got in touch with him through his bank account. He sent four transfers (转账) of £0.01 each with a reference (附注) spelling out the (intend) of contacting the person who received it.

Deeply (move) by the man, Tim Cameron shared it on Twitter. He said, "I lost my wallet on the way home from work  accident. I didn't have many things in the wallet  (indicate) my personal information, so the kind man got in touch with me through four transfers of £0.01 each with a reference up to 18 characters and  (eventual) returned my wallet to me."

The lovely tweet  (view) by more than 33,000 people. One viewer, James Dartnell, said, "It is an absolute legend,  makes me realize that there are truly good people out there. It is  (amaze) to see not everyone is untrustworthy (不可信的)."

On August 23, my son went biking in the mountain with his friends. 1 , we were waiting at home with lunch ready around noon. At 12: 15, he still didn't  2 . Then we got the  3 news that he was badly hurt when doing a relatively easy jump. 

We  4 up the mountain in the car and got him to the 5 for X- rays. We were told that one of his leg bones was broken and that he had to  6 for at least 6 weeks. My son is a (n) 7 boy, who loves soccer, biking, running, climbing, swimming, etc. When all the outdoor activities were 8 put on hold (暂停) , I taught him to regard it as a chance to 9 about the inner world. We started talking about beliefs, feelings, 10 , trust, and kindness. He was  11 used to his new life. 

My son fell because he didn't focus his attention. He told me that it was a super- easy jump so he didn't spend any time  12 . Kids may not be very focused because they are always trying to test their limits, showing off, or getting lost in their thoughts. This injury (受伤) helped our son see the  13 of focusing his mind and body. 

I would never wish an injury in anyone; yet it is an immediate way to learn how to be patient in our life. My biggest  14 has been that my son may have learned more from this injury than anything else he's gone through this year, and, hopefully, this  15 will be memorized by him forever in his life.
