There s a good chance, in fact, that youre reading this article on the toilet.Incredibly, a few surveys have been conducted on the subject. In one conducted earlier this
16、 year, 65 percent of respondents said they used their phones in the bathroom.But is it healthy to sit on the toilet with a phone?“I see a lot of people who get food poisoning or catch different things by not having good habits in the bathroom,” Raj, a famous physician, said. If you re playing video
17、games or using your phone on the toilet, you re probably touching a lot of things you might not want on your device.If you re staying within healthy time limits andcruciallyalways maintaining good personal hygiene, your behaviour probably doesn t need to change. But if you d like to make a change, t
18、here are some simple ways to go about it.“There s nothing wrong with taking your phone to the bathroom for a few minutes and doing your business and then coming out,” Eyal, an expert, said. “But if you said, Oh, I had planned to be with my kids, but now I stayed in the bathroom for 30 minutes scroll
19、ing on TikTok, well, now you re distracted(分心). So thats the best piece of advice: to know what you wanted to do with your time so that you have a priority(优先权)to spend your time doing that thing, rather than wasting it in the bathroom.”It s also important to remember: phones and other mobile device

If you are always losing track of time, consider whether youre attuned(协调的)to bigger stressors in your life.“90% of the time that we get distracted by our phones is because of whats happening inside of us,” Eyal said, “such as boredom, loneliness, uncertainty, stress, anxiety, which of

23、text probably come from?AA guidebook.BA newspaper.CA book review.DAn advertisement.Female cichlids are mouthbrooding (口育) fish, which carry their young in their mouths first as eggs and then as hatchlings. But in a study published in the journal Biology Letters, the scientists reported that in some
24、instances, cichlid mothers swallow some of their young.Dijkstra and his coworkers first suspected that something was wrong with their cichlid mothers when they noticed that some of the eggs in one female cichlids mouth were missing because the fish can hold up to 100 eggs at once, but in this case,
25、the female was carrying only 25 eggs.“We realized that one of the mothers wasnt holding all of her young,” Dijkstra said. “We figured that she probably ate them. Theres quite a bit of literature out there about this phenomenon. Its very common in a lot of animal species.”But why would a mother chow
26、down on her babies? The researchers said it likely is because females become desperate for nutrients while they re mouthbrooding.Mouthbrooding also can be a high-stress time for female cichlids, and a prior study of Aburtoni, published in 2020, found that high-stress environments can lead mouthbrood
27、ing females to this behavior. In the new study, the authors discovered that some mouthbrooding mothers showed signs of liver damage, with levels of DNA damage that were 24% higher than in non-brooding females.Horrible as it may sound, this behavior of female cichlids is actually a beneficial strateg
28、y for reproduction.“As a parent, you dont want to spend all of your energy on one child, and this is also true for humans,” Dijkstra said. “You want to make sure that in the future maybe you will have more children and you still want to be in good enough shape to take care of your existing children
29、as well.”Its not only cichlids that exhibit this baby-swallowing behavior. Many different types of animals engage in this phenomenon, including many fish species, birds, insects, spiders and even some large animals.12What raised the researchers doubt?AThe disappearance of some cichlid mothers.BThe s
30、ickness of some female cichlids.CThe decreasing egg number in a female cichlid s mouths.DThe sight of some fish eggs floating in the water.13What does the underlined part “chow down on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?AHatch.BEat.CProtect.DReject.14What is the purpose of paragraph 5 ?ATo put forward a
31、new discovery.BTo prove the accuracy of this study result.CTo explain the reason for female cichlids behavior.DTo show mouthbrooding can cause DNA damage.15Which statement might Dijkstra agree with?ACichlids know how to select quality eggs.BFemale cichlids have too much energy.CCichlids are extremel
