C Black rhinos(犀牛) have terrible eyesight. Even so, these African giants easily fend off hungry predators such as lions and hyenas. Their
29、basic body plan has proved to be good enough to survive on African grasslands full of large predators, being very large, thick-skinned, big sword-like horns.

31、at sores on the rhinos bodies.

To test whether the oxpecker
32、s do, in fact, act as noisy lookouts, Plotz and his team implanted(植 入) radio transmitters in the rhinos horns.

34、 alarmed the rhinos 100 percent of the time. And they detected the human 61 meters away on average. And the more oxpeckers on the scene , the greater the detection distance.

Most research to date has considered these factors independently, but a group of scientists from University of Adelaide recently decide
40、d to look at them jointly, to see if the combination of high screen time (ST) and low green time (GT), could affect mental wellbeing. The result is published on September 4, 2020, in the scientific journal PLOS One. In it, the researchers analyzed data from 186 studies that looked at childrens inter

What they found was that, in general, excessive screen time results in poorer psychological health, whereas green time improves mental well
42、being. Ten years ago in the U.S., the average daily screen time for 8-to-18-year-olds was 7.5 hours. As the study states, This greatly exceeds recreational ST guidelines of 2 hours or less per day, and is made even more challenging by the fact that so many schools are using technology to teach class
43、es. While some screen time can be beneficial, such as promoting connections and enabling tasks to be done more efficiently, there are many ways in which it is harmful. Excessive screen time replaces important protective behaviors for mental health such as physical activity, getting adequate sleep, i
