That day, Briggs had uncharacteristically decided to wear a sleeveless dress, leaving a rose-shaped birthmark on her upper arm exposed. Th
11、e woman asked Briggs if she had seen a doctor about the birthmark, and when Briggs assured her that she had, the stranger persisted. “She pressed me and said, When? I had to stop to think. I counted backand it had been over three years.”When the woman heard how long it had been, she urged Briggs to
12、call her doctor. After explaining that she was a nurse at a plastic surgeons office, she gently reached out and touched Briggs arm. “Really, dont wait,” she said.When Briggs followed up with her doctor, she learned that the woman had saved her life.

Once youre a grown-up raising kids,
17、 that bag full of candy might be the scariest part of Halloween whether its concern about a potential sugar rush, worries of parenting perfectionism or diet culture anxiety.“It makes sense to be scared, because weve been taught to be scared,” said Oona Hanson, a parent coach based in Los Angeles. “S
18、ugar is sort of the boogeyman in our current cultural conversation.”But micromanaging your childs candy supply can backfire (适得其反)，leading to an overvaluing of sweets，binge (暴食) behavior or unhealthy restriction in your child，said Natalie Mokari, a registered dietitian-nutritionist in Charlotte, Nor
19、th Carolina.As stressful as it may be to see your child faced with more candy in one night than they would eat in an entire year, the best approach may be to lean into the joy, she added. “They are only in that age where they want to trick or treat for just a small glimpse of time its so short-lived

The American Heart Association and the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee groups charged with providing science-based recommendations every live years have recommended lower daily levels of

25、y a farmer in eastern China are being hailed by local media as a “rival (对手)” to an invasive plant species which Chinese authorities have been calling on the public to help remove for years.Xiang Jizhong from Zhejiang said this year he has fed his herd of thousands of goats with Solidago canadensis
26、L.,a plant informally known as Canadian Yellow Flower in China. His goats consume as much as seven tonnes of the invasive plant every day, the Zhejiang Daily reported.The plant species is native to North America and often forms colonies of upright plants, with many small yellow flowers. It is an inv
27、asive plant in other parts of the continent and several areas worldwide, including Europe and Asia.Xiang said he noticed the authorities alert about the Canadian Yellow Flower years ago, but last year contacted the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences to ask about feeding his goats the plant. “
28、We discovered that although it is dangerous to other plants, it is a super food for animals in terms of nutrition. The content of crude protein in it is nearly equal to that of bean plants,” he said.“Feeding goats with this plant is like people eating hong shao rou (a famous Chinese meat dish braise
29、d pork),” said Xiang.The other advantage of using Canadian Yellow Flower to feed goats is that it reduced Xiangs farms costs by 40-50 percent. He said he bought around 5 tonnes of this plant every day at one yuan per kg. Villagers earn a daily income of more than 100 yuan per person from harvesting
30、the Canadian Yellow Flower for the farm.Experts said there was no need to worry that the goats waste would spread the plants seeds, as they were broken down in the animals digestive system.12What can we learn about Canadian Yellow Flower?AIts native to several continents.BIts as delicious as hong sh
