I ran to my mom for help but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire. After wr
10、apping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth, and ignited the cotton. Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn one
11、minute, then two minutes until mom put out the fire. You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time preindustrial. When I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, and even no running water. And we certainly didnt have access to modern medical re
12、sources. There was no doctor my mother could bring me to see about my spider bite. For those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my moms cure: heat deactivates(使失去活性) proteins, and a spiders venom (毒液) is simply a form of protein. Its cool how that folk remedy actually incorpo

According to the World Bank, twelve percent of the worlds population lives on less than $ 2 a day. Malnutrition kills more than 3 million

All over the world, we constantly see these problems of poverty, illness, and lack of resources preventing the flow of scientific information. Life-saving knowledge we take for granted in the modern world is often unava

But its a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. Later he married and entered the diplomatic serv

However, now theres a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data by a smart app. The SleepIQ bed can alert (发出报警声) parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed.
29、If a child is tossing and turning (辗转反侧), it can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable. The bed was first introduced at the International Consumer, Electronics Show (CES). It claims to be the only one in the world, which adjusts with children as they grow. Children dont need to wear a smart-b
30、and or alternative wearable device in bed. Instead, the quality of their sleep is measured by sensors(传感器) in the bed, which monitor (监测) their present, average breathing rate, heart rate and movement. Then it assesses (评定) quality of sleep. They are given a SleepIQ score for each nights sleep. Usin
31、g an accompanying app, parents can see it clearly. It also allows parents to monitor routines (常规) that affect sleep, such as exercise, caffeine and screen time, helping them to develop a routine that helps develop a good nights shut-eye.

Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new, has seen some tourism websites grow to
38、 host over one-million users. Typically, this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question. Tips and information are not provided by a single source, such as the website host, butrather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands. This has proven to be

Questions about food and restaurants; tou
