>Good guys more violent in movies
超級(jí)英雄片好人更暴力
A study presented at the ongoing annual American Academy of Pediatrics conference showed that the "good guys" in superhero movies were on average more violent than the villains, potentially sending a mixed or negative message to young viewers. The most common act of violence associated with protagonists in the films was fighting, followed by the use of a lethal weapon, destruction of property, murder, and bullying/intimidation/torture, according to the study's abstract. John N. Muller, the study's principal investigator, suggested families watched those movies together and discussed the consequences of violence actively with their children. "By taking an active role in their children's media consumption by co-viewing and actively mediating, parents help their children develop critical thinking and internally regulated values," he said.
目前正在舉行的美國兒科學(xué)會(huì)年度會(huì)議上發(fā)布的一項(xiàng)研究顯示，超級(jí)英雄影片中的"好人"通常比惡霸們更暴力，這可能會(huì)向年輕觀眾傳遞矛盾負(fù)面的信號(hào)。根據(jù)研究概述，這些影片中主角最常使用的暴力行為是打斗，緊隨其后的是使用致命武器、破壞財(cái)物、殺人、恃強(qiáng)凌弱/恐嚇/拷問等。該研究首席研究員穆勒建議，一家人應(yīng)該一起觀看那些影片，并就暴力產(chǎn)生的后果積極地與孩子進(jìn)行討論。他表示，家長通過一同觀影和主動(dòng)調(diào)解，可在孩子的媒體消費(fèi)中扮演積極的角色，從而幫助孩子培養(yǎng)批判性思維和內(nèi)在管理的價(jià)值觀。

>Scattering ashes at Disney parks
迪士尼成撒骨灰熱門地
As the world biggest entertainment company, Disney has something of a following, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise some people want to stay in the theme parks... forever. As a report in the Wall Street Journal confirmed, some people really try to do that - by having loved ones scatter their remains. At Disneyland in Anaheim, California, and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, it happens so frequently staff members have a special code to call in when they spot any sign of cremains: "HEPA cleanup." Employees then come in with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, specifically designed for very fine particles like ash, and vacuum up the remains, possibly for disposal into a garbage bin.
作為世界最大的娛樂公司，迪士尼有狂熱的粉絲，所以如果你聽說有些人想留在迪士尼主題公園……直到永遠(yuǎn)，也不用感到驚訝?！度A爾街日報(bào)》的一篇報(bào)道證實(shí)，有些人真的試圖這樣做——他們讓親人把自己的骨灰灑在迪士尼樂園。在加利福尼亞州阿納海姆的迪士尼樂園和佛羅里達(dá)州奧蘭多的沃爾特迪士尼樂園，撒骨灰的情況頻繁發(fā)生，因此當(dāng)工作人員發(fā)現(xiàn)任何有關(guān)骨灰的跡象時(shí)，就會(huì)發(fā)送特殊代碼"HEPA cleanup"進(jìn)行上報(bào)。然后就會(huì)有員工帶著專門用于拾取細(xì)小顆粒的高效微粒空氣過濾吸塵器(HEPA)，吸走疑似骨灰的物質(zhì)——最后可能倒進(jìn)了垃圾箱。

>Kid's resume goes viral
5歲'牛娃'簡歷走紅網(wǎng)絡(luò)
An extensive resume by a kindergarten student became a hot topic on Chinese social media. Posted in the form of a 15-page PDF document, the resume gives a comprehensive overview of the child's relatively short history. The document appears to be part of some application materials for an international primary school. "I was born in a family where both parents are graduates from Fudan University," the child proudly states of his family background in the first part. The boy moves on to describe himself as "confident, considerate, and strong". He also explains how he excelled in four things - literature and history, science and math, arts, and sports. "I write three English essays per week to express my feelings," he says, adding he has a variety of hobbies outside school, such as piano, hip-hop dance, soccer, and Go. The five-year-old also says he read over 500 English books in the past year. At the end of the resume, there are five pages listing all the English books he has read so far. This viral resume offers an intriguing glimpse into China's hyper-competitive education system, where getting into an elite primary school has become more cutthroat than ever.
近日，一個(gè)幼兒園小朋友的無所不能的簡歷成為國內(nèi)社交媒體上最火的話題。這份15頁P(yáng)DF文檔的簡歷非常全面地介紹了孩子較短的成長史。這份簡歷似乎是用來申請就讀某所國際小學(xué)材料的一部分。在簡歷一開頭，孩子就驕傲地簡述了家庭背景。他寫道："我的父母都畢業(yè)于復(fù)旦大學(xué)。"接下來，他在簡歷中將自己的性格描述為"靈動(dòng)自信、友善貼心、耐挫堅(jiān)強(qiáng)"。他還描述了自己在文史、數(shù)理、藝術(shù)和運(yùn)動(dòng)方面的突出表現(xiàn)。他寫道："我每周寫三篇英語日記來記錄心情"。他還說自己有豐富的課外愛好，比如鋼琴、街舞、足球和圍棋。這個(gè)5歲小孩還說自己去年讀了500多本英文書。簡歷末尾，他用5頁篇幅列出了他讀過的全部英語書目。這份走紅網(wǎng)絡(luò)的簡歷生動(dòng)反映出我國競爭激烈的教育體制，想要進(jìn)入一所精英小學(xué)就讀已經(jīng)越來越難。

>Radiation linked to cancers
手機(jī)輻射導(dǎo)致鼠類患癌
A long-running US study on the effects of radio wave radiation, the sort emitted by mobile phones, has found "clear evidence" of a link between high levels of exposure and heart cancers in male rats. Some evidence of links to brain and adrenal gland tumors was also found in male rats, but in female rodents and male mice signs of cancer weren't clear, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded in its final report. The program is run by the US Department of Health and Human Services and was tasked with reviewing the toxicity of mobile phone radiation in response to the devices' near ubiquity in modern life.
美國一項(xiàng)針對手機(jī)輻射所屬的無線電波輻射的后果進(jìn)行的歷時(shí)多年的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，有清晰證據(jù)表明大量的無線電波輻射與雄性大鼠罹患心臟腫瘤之間有關(guān)聯(lián)。根據(jù)"國家毒理學(xué)計(jì)劃"在其最終報(bào)告中得出的結(jié)論，研究中還發(fā)現(xiàn)了雄性大鼠罹患腦癌和腎上腺癌與輻射有關(guān)的一些證據(jù)，但在雌性大鼠和雄性小鼠中，輻射致癌的證據(jù)并不明確。這一項(xiàng)目由美國衛(wèi)生與公眾服務(wù)部管理，其任務(wù)是在現(xiàn)代生活人人離不開手機(jī)的背景下審視手機(jī)輻射的毒性。
