23、y accordingly,” she said. Thus, Nannies by Noa was born. It was the summer of 2012, before she entered 7th grade. Shes designed a thorough review process: an application, an in-person interview with a trained nanny, reference and background check and a phone interview. Her business has seen a consid
24、erable success: from 50 clients to 2,000 clients today. At first, she charged $100 to $200. “I wasnt charging enough.

29、el into the kids themselves. The toys are tiny. When a child eats a Lego, though, parents rush to the hospital terrified. Tessa Davis, a doctor at The Royal London Hospital in England can calm their fears. Shes one of several doctors who downed a Lego for science, of course. “Its actually really com
30、mon,” Davis says. “We see at least one child a day swallowing something they shouldnt have.” Of course anything left lying around including a Lego can be dangerous. But most of the time; unless the object is sharp (锋利的) or poisonous, it will just go right through the child and come out the other end
31、. No matter how much Davis has tried to calm parents, though, they keep worrying. So she and five other doctors decided to do a test. They each swallowed the head of a Lego figure (人物). Why a Lego head? “Lego heads are a standard size,” she says. The doctors wanted to make sure they ate the same thi
32、ng. “We all swallowed one at the same time of day and then waited to see if it came out,” she says. Each doctor kept a waste diary. Everyone took care to eat a normal diet. Then the doctors collected their waste and searched for a familiar-looking face. Luckily, the doctors didnt have to do that for
33、 long. Of the six Lego heads that went in, five came out again within three days. One doctor, however, never found his Lego head. “Most likely he wasnt good at looking for it,” Davis concludes. “But its possible in 10 years time someone will find it up there.” “Children are such amazing creatures.

38、t. Before Ive even had the chance to brush my teeth or wash my face Im already right away attracted by whatever people are doing online. And I know it needs to change.

39、how unproductive social media(社交媒体) can be. So why is it so easy to get addicted to(沉溺 于) a huge mass of pretty pictures, and funny behavior and ideas? And why is it so hard to change?

40、u looking,” she says. “They want you to buy, and get you to follow and like.

41、 stare at whats inside for no reason, dont do the same with social media.” If social media is reducing your productivity and overall health, Lewis offers these steps: First set a goal whenever you use a social media app. If you use WeChat to get inspiration to exercise, do that and then get off it.
