The Chinese-owned video platform, TikTok, is the fastest growing news source for UK adults, according to a survey. TikTok is used by 7% of adults for news, according to the UK's communications watchdog, up from 1% in 2020. The (grow) is primarily driven by young users, with half of its news followers (age)16 to 24.

"Teenagers today are (increasing) unlikely to pick up a newspaper or turn to TV news, instead preferring (keep) up to date by scrolling (滚屏) through their social feeds," said Yih-Choung Teh, Ofcom's group director for strategy and research. "And youngsters find news on social media to be less reliable, they rate these services more highly for serving up a range of (opinion) on the day's topical stories."

Nic Newman, a senior research associate at the Reuters institute for the Study of journalism, said the institute's own research (indicate) that TikTok was not used a platform for serious current affairs. "Even young people, mostly, don't see it as a platform for serious news. But they see it as good place to get news about celebrities or issues that are not about life and death. They will often use TikTok in combination with traditional news when something really big (happen) like the war in Ukraine," he said.

At one point, all food colorings got their colors from natural sources. Insects and rocks were also often used as sources of food colorings. The natural world still remains a common source of many of today's commercial colorings.

Nowadays, scientists have also developed artificial (人造的) food colorings. These colorings have many advantages. For example, in many cases, it's less expensive to create colors artificially. In addition, with artificial food colorings, people can create especially bright colors or colors hard to find in nature, such as blue.

Whether food colorings come naturally or artificially, there are health and safety concerns about them. But they have been removed from the market due to health concerns, and some people thus try to avoid food colorings. However, avoiding food colorings can actually be quite difficult.

Many governments around the world limit the types of things that can be used in food colorings. And different countries have different labeling (贴标签) systems for food colorings, which allow people to be clear what food coloring it is. Many countries also make certain rules and laws to deal with adding and creating food colorings illegally.

A. All food colorings come from two sources.

B. Some food colorings are not good for our health.

C. Plants, like flowers, were very common examples.

D. Several food colorings were once recognised as safe.

E. As a result, artificial food colorings are widely used.

F. Measures thus have been taken for food colorings' safety.

G. At that time, candy makers used colorings to improve products' appearance.

In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.

Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.

Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the youngers.

Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.

—Yes, it broke down yesterday, but it___________.

December 1952 in Wisconsin was bitterly cold. A curious 7-year-old, I was in hesitation when my father arrived home from work with something hidden in his jacket. "Guess what I have," he said. He slowly unwrapped the jacket to take out a frozen owl (猫头鹰). He'd found the frozen bird on his car when he left work and guessed that it had flown into the windshield (挡风玻璃).

Dad thought it might be alive and wanted to let it warm up. My mother agreed to let the bird stay overnight, so Dad and I took it to the basement( 地下室) and carefully laid it near our coal stove. I was the first one into the kitchen the next morning for a bowl of cereal (麦片). I found the owl resting on the sugar bowl as if waiting for its breakfast. I hurried to tell my parents that the owl was alive and sitting at the kitchen table. Mom didn't like that it was in the kitchen and wanted it out of the house.

Dad instructed me to open the back door while he forced the owl toward me. I heard the flapping of wings, but before I could direct its flight outside, the owl turned around away from the cold air coming in the door and flew past me, down the stairs into the shelter of the warm basement. Resting in the space near the top of the basement, the owl was safely beyond our reach. We tried driving it out with a broom, but it calmly flew to the far side of the basement. Soon Dad and I were laughing too hard to continue, and we realized there was no way we could drive the owl out if it wanted to stay. Mom agreed to have it in the house until Dad could catch it when it became weak from hunger. But that never happened.
