Many people believe eating healthily is expensive — and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the BMC Public Health, shows this isn't the truth.
Most of the Australian family food budget (预算) is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt.
Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. The Australian adults get at least 35% of their energy from junk foods and drinks. As a result, two-thirds of adults (63%) and one-quarter of children are overweight.
We used the Australian Health Survey 2011-2013 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high- and low-socioeconomic (社会经济地位低的) areas in Brisbane, and compared the diet prices with family incomes.
In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods (14%), and sugary drinks (4%). In the low-socioeconomic area, a family of two adults and two children spend $640.20 every two weeks on their present diets, but could buy a healthy diet for $560.93 every two weeks. In the high-socioeconomic area, these numbers are $661.92 and $580.01.
Supermarket food prices were about 3% higher in the high-socioeconomic location. Takeaway foods were also relatively more expensive, but sugary drinks were priced similarly in both areas.
Present diets cost more than healthy diets, so causes other than price must be helping to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.
In a time when a dangerous number of people are overweight, many people seem to have forgotten the most important way to keep healthy and slim-exercise. And as a new study carried out on mice in the lab has shown, exercise early in life can reward you in your adult years.
A team of researchers at the University of California studied the effects of early exercise on adult physical activity, body mass and eating. They found that early-age exercise in mice has positive effects on adult levels of voluntary exercise in addition to reducing body mass.
"These results may have an effect on the importance of regular physical education in elementary and middle schools," said Theodore Garland, a professor of biology, who led the research project. "If kids exercise regularly through their school years, then they may be more likely to exercise as adults, which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being or happiness."
Although the positive effects of early-life exercise lasted for only one week, it is important to note that one week in the life of a mouse is the same as about nine months for humans. "Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise will need to be kept up if they are to be long-lasting."
His team of researchers found, too, that all mice that had access to early exercise were lighter in weight than non-exercised mice.
Garland explained that, in general, exercise will stimulate appetite sooner or later. However, it is possible that certain types of exercise, done for certain periods of time or at certain light levels, might not stimulate appetite much, if at all, at least in some persons.
"If we could understand what sorts of exercise these might be, then we might be able to tailor (量身打造) exercise recommendations in a way that would bring the benefits of exercise without increases in appetite, leading to a better chance of weight loss," he said.
A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces (熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.
The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is exploded off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.
After the explosion gravity pulls in what's left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense (密集的) that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.
The more the star shrinks (缩小), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!
That's what we know about black holes. What we don't know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been forced into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.
But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a "white hole" in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly—somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time — many years in the past or future.
Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed (压碎). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.
Black holes are a mystery—but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste—a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!

Having a positive way allows you to create your own luck in everyday life. Here are some tips.

A woman professor walked around in a classroom while she was teaching stress management to her students. As she1a glass of water, everyone2they would be asked the "half-empty or half-full" question.
3, with a smile on her face, she asked, "How4is this glass of water?"
Answers called out5from eight to twenty ounces (盎司).
She quieted the students down and then replied, "The exact weight doesn't6. It all depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a7. If I hold it for an hour, it's not a (n)8. If I hold for a day, my arm will feel9and paralyzed. In each case, the10of the glass of water doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Do you know why?"
All the students kept silent and listened carefully, lost in thought.
She continued, "Our11and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and12happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to13. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed—14to do anything."
It's important to remember to15your stresses. As early in the evening as possible, put all your16down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

So rather than wandering and feeling sorry for yourself,19doing something about it. After all, life is too short to 20 yourself in anything that's not making you happy.
The national college entrance examination in Russia, Unified State Exam, will include Chinese as elective foreign language starting from 2019. Chinese will become the fifth elective test item for the Unified State Exam (follow) English, German, French and Spanish.
The number of Chinese learners in Russia (grow) quickly in the past ten years, according to a survey (make) by a linguistic research center in Russia.
Approaches to learning Chinese change from person to person, more and more people choosing university courses in Russia.
The three hour-long Chinese test will quiz students on (they) listening, reading and writing abilities, and a fourth section will examine students on grammar, vocabulary and Chinese (character). Some parts in the exam are even a little bit difficult for native Chinese speakers.
According to the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban), as of 2017 some 100 million people, excluding native speakers, use Chinese (global).
The United Nations in 2010 suggested a Chinese Language Day falls on April 20 each year (celebrate) cultural diversity (多样性) as well as to promote the equal use of all official languages.

Today I want to share with you a memorable place — my old classroom. It was appealing because of three sides of it were made of glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the classroom, I could easy see the football field. In the morning, it was full of student exercising. On the right side of the classroom was a road, on that there were always drivers in hurry in the morning. The view from the back of your classroom was also impressive. A beautiful park with a number of trees were next to my school. What was even more unforgettable was that, further in the distance, I can enjoy the view of the snowy mountains. The position of the classroom with its view made me feel like I was dreamed. I will never forget it.
