  • 1、The study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry, compared survey results of parents with their children in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years. The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. They concluded that genetic differences in the population accounted for 60% of the variation in food fussiness at 16 months, rising to 74% and over between the ages of 3 and 13.

    Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, "Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. "We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting."

    Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, "While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); While environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different friends), become more influential in later years." This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated.

    Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different.

  • 2、"The mountains are calling and I must go" - the famous quote is from John Muir (1838-1914), who is described as "the wilderness poet" and "the citizen of the universe." He once jokingly referred to himself as a "poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist (鸟类学家) -naturalist etc. etc.!" He is known as the Father of American National Parks.

    Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, "As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I'm talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson — people who have had a transformational effect on who we are."

    So where is the quote from? Well, John Muir was a productive writer. Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family, John Muir was always putting pen to paper. The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister:

    September 3rd, 1873

    Yosemite Valley

    Dear sister Sarah,

    I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains, having been gone over five weeks. I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here, sleeping among the snowy mountains without blankets and with little to eat on account of its being so inaccessible. After my icy experiences, it seems strange to be down here in so warm and flowery a climate.

    I will soon be off again, determined to use all the season in carrying through my work - will go next to Kings River a hundred miles south, then to Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains, and in winter work in Oakland with my pen.

    Though slow, someday I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge them. The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly (永不停息地).

    I will write again when I return from Kings River Canyon.

    Farewell, with love everlasting.

    Yours,

    John

    In AD 79, the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, in southern Italy, (destroy) by a volcanic eruption that buried many of (it) buildings. Archaeologists (考古学家) have been observing it for almost 300 years but now they have a new tool for (understand) how Pompeii might once have looked — virtual reality (VR).

    Researchers Danilo Campanaro and Giacomo Landeschi, from Lund University in Sweden, used data collected by drones (无人机) flying over the ruined Roman city to create a 3D computer reconstruction (重建) of one of its most (impress) buildings. They then fed the reconstruction into a video game system called Unity (make) a VR model. The idea is not just to recreate the buildings to understand a bit more about how Roman people might have experienced them. Campanaro and Landeschi asked (volunteer) to take a virtual tour of the house in both summer and winter light. The researchers used special eye-tracking technology to record (exact) which areas people looked at and for how long. From this, the team concluded that the building used clever design to draw attention objects that showed off the wealth and status of its owner — perhaps a man called LuciusValenius Flaccus, ring was found in the ruins.

  • 20、My husband Sajan is an Indian with a vegetarian heritage. Since I met him, I've been a vegetarian, too. Getting older, I wonder if I ignored my parents'1. After all, they are more2 with meals where meat is the centerpiece.

    Whenever Sajan and I come home, my mom starts3 our meals weeks before we arrive. She researches new4 dishes and stocks up on beans and yogurt though she5 both. So often, even though we're all6 at the table together, we're eating7 meals. I've never really8 with my mom about the food tension in our relationship. But earlier this summer, I9 asked her about it.

    "It is sometimes a(n)10 to cook your food," she answered. "But it is important for us to11 your and Sajan's Indian vegetarian diet."

    She also had her question, "You don't miss the12 you grew up with?"

    I do. And I don't.

    My mom still makes my favorite cookies. But because I've been away from home for so long, I've13 lots of new foods, and Indian food has become my food. I always assumed she felt hurt by that, but talking to her, I14 I was wrong.

    Love can be shown through food in different ways. Just make a little room for what our loved ones choose to15.
