17、ultural importance.M+wouldnt have been possible without Swiss businessman and art collector Uli Sigg,who in 2012 donated and sold 1,510 Chinese contemporary works of art to the museum.Michael Schindhelms 2016 documentary,The Chinese Lives of Uli Sigg,looked back at Siggs life and how he gathered his

27、vironment and its animals for longer,we cant only measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime.For example,despite having a fairly short biodegrading time,more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown away in the UK every day.Similarly,our regular littering here and t

34、r basements,and there will be no one to blame but ourselves.Thats what I like to call the “perfect parent myth”.The standards of perfection for parents these days are extremely high.Perfect parenting expectations begin with a drug free natural birth.Once our young are born,we must breastfeed each ba
35、by for years.If we cant breastfeed,we must at least feed on demand.17 Lets also not forget to organize our childrens days so they are engaged in educational pursuits in case they fall behind the curve(弯道).We must be involved in every aspect of our childrens schools.There is no free time for the perf
