【推荐1】Gifts in Wills could be the key to protecting the future of human health
Our experience of COVID-19shows how suddenly a global health challenge can appear. As someone interested in science, you will understand that while nobody can predict what we will face next, we can be certain that the future will bring many more threats to human health.
As Chair of the Medical Research Foundation-the charitable arm of the Medical Research Council-I have seen the incredible impact that individuals who remember the Foundation in their Wills can have on the future of our health and wellbeing here in the UK. These gifts fund research and researchers which can have far-reaching implications for human health.
With a gift in your Will you can play a key role in providing the science that will protect the health of future generations.
Right now, the Foundation is funding research to tackle antimicrobial resistance, and investing in researchers like Dr Myrsini Kaforou - who will make the fight against antimicrobial resistance her life’s work.
Without support at the crucial early stages, researchers like Dr Kaforou can be forced to abandon their passion and leave science altogether, with an immeasurable loss to future human health.
Gifts in Wills provide the long term funding and security that allows the Foundation to invest in projects like Dr Kaforou’s and lay the foundations for quality research in years to come. Your Will can fund the rational response to health challenges that medical science provides.
“As scientists, our duty is to secure the future of research for the generations that follow.”
Professor Fiona Watt, President of the Medical Research Foundation and Executive Chair of the Medical Research Council.
While we don’t know what the future holds for human health in the UK, we do know that research, and the brilliant scientists driving that research forward, are the key to meeting those challenges for years to come.
But many of these scientists rely on the generosity and foresight of fellow members of the public - people like you, who understand the power of science and are willing to leave a gift to medical research in their Wills. At the Medical Research Foundation, over 90% of our voluntary income comes from individuals who choose to include a gift in their Will- they are crucial in the Foundation’s ability to fund research that will enable the next generation of scientists to make real world discoveries in the future. A gift in your Will to the Medical Research Foundation is an excellent investment and will have a lasting impact on science and on the future of human health in the UK.

【推荐1】Astrotourism: Travel to a place where you can see stars
Few sights are as breathtaking as the night sky full of stars. But you can’t get a good view of the stars in cities. Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are participating in astrotourism — traveling to destinations where they can focus on viewing stars, planets and other space-related phenomena.
Star party in Nebraska, USA
In north-central Nebraska, a week-long Star Party has been held annually for almost 30 years. Held at the Merritt Reservoir (水库), the party features classes teaching beginners about astronomy, along with some programs especially for children. The party features challenges such as a photo contest. During the day, visitors can swim in the reservoir and go fishing and boating.
Jasper National Park, Canada
The second-largest dark sky preserve in the world, Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, covers 11,000 square kilometers. In October each year, visitors show up there for the Jasper Dark Sky Festival, making Jasper National Park one of Canada’s top astrotourism destinations. During the day, visitors can enjoy the beauty of the park’s glaciers (冰川), streams, lakes and mountains.
Chile
With an average of 300 nights with clear skies per year, Chile is a great destination for astrotourism. The clear skies mean visitors are very likely to be able to see stars and planets without clouds blocking their view.
Finland
Northern Finland is one of the best places in the world to take in the northern lights. They are usually green but can be pink and more rarely red and violet In Finland’s Lapland region, they are visible 200 nights a year.
Wherever you go, astrotourism provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on the wonders of the universe.

【推荐2】If you come to Vancouver, you can appreciate the magnificent mountain scenery or the beautiful coast. It has more than 100 parks, mainly in the style of Britain and North America, but also in the oriental style, typical of China. Vancouver has some of the mildest weather, making it an ideal destination to explore.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Garden
The garden is to maintain and enhance the bridge of understanding between Chinese and western cultures, as well as promote Chinese culture generally. Remember to bring some souvenirs back home at one of the Asian specialty stores!
VanDusen Botanical Garden
The garden is well kept with an amazing variety of trees and flowering plants. If you are visiting during the winter season, the light festival in December is a must see! The garden is transformed into a Christmas wonderland that will attract everyone, from child to adult.
Stanley Park
It is a massive green space on the northwest side of the city. It is also the perfect place to take a stroll or bike ride and take a horse and carriage ride. The 400-hectare park is a local's favorite and includes multiple dining outlets, swimming pools, ice rinks, golf courses, and more.
Capilano Suspension Park
Travelers who love the thrill of heights and gorgeous rainforest views are handsomely rewarded at the Capilano Suspension Park. The 450-foot-long bridge is definitely the main attraction, but it isn’t the only one. There’s also the Treetops Adventure, giving visitors a “squirrels eye view” of the forest.

Bacteria are the one of the main food poisoners. So, to get food on the table safely, you need to know and follow the rules for food care.
KEEP FOOD HOT
High food temperatures (165°F to 212°F) reached in boiling, baking, frying, and roasting kill most food poisoning bacteria. If you want to delay serving cooked food, though, you have to keep it at a holding temperature — roughly 140°F to 165°F. Steam tables and chafing dishes are designed to maintain holding temperatures. But they don’t always keep food hot enough. So it’s not wise to leave hot food out more than 2 hours.
When cooked food is left out unheated, the possibility of bacterial growth is greater, since the food quickly drops to room temperature where food poisoners multiply.
To serve hot foods safely — particularly meat and poultry, which are highly affected by food poisoning — follow these rules:
• Cook thoroughly — Cook meat and poultry to the “doneness” temperatures given in the above chart. To make sure that meat and poultry are cooked all the way through, use a meat thermometer (温度计). Insert the tip into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding fat or bone.
• Don’t interrupt cooking — Cook meat and poultry completely at one time. Partial cooking may encourage bacterial growth before cooking is complete.
• Cooking frozen food - Allow frozen food more time to cook — generally 1.5 times the period required for food that has been thawed (解冻).
1. At what temperature do bacteria grow the fastest?| A．40ºC~ 60ºC. | B．60ºF~125ºF. | C．40ºC~ 140ºC. | D．125ºF~140ºF. |
| A．hot food should not be left out over two hours. |
| B．frozen food should be thawed with a microwave oven. |
| C．raw ham should be cooked to the “doneness” temperature at 71ºF. |
| D．steam tables and chafing dishes should be used to keep food hot enough. |
| A．The only way to ensure food safety is to keep it hot enough. |
| B．High food temperatures above 74ºC destroy most poisoning bacteria. |
| C．Compared with goose, ground beef should be cooked to higher temperatures. |
| D．Insert the tip of a thermometer into the thickest part of the fat to control the temperature. |

Glynis Davis:
I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference but the scales don’t lie.
Roz Jumab:
To be honest, I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it.
Lesley Codwin:
I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year. I’d look into the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem—perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again.
Ros Landfod:
Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet…I’m really good on a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate—my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.

【推荐2】Around 45% of plastic waste is recycled annually in the UK and is on the increase. However, one of the problems with present plastic recycling methods is that you end up with a lower-quality plastic with worse properties （特性）than the original. This means that plastic drink bottles cannot simply be recycled into new drink bottles continuously, but instead are used for other lower-grade products like park benches.
Now, British scientists have developed a new method of chemical recycling. They use lower temperatures and more environmentally-friendly starting chemicals than previous methods to turn plastics back into their constituent chemical molecules （分子）.In this way, they can be used to make new plastics of the same quality as the original.
"Most plastic is now recycled using mechanical methods, where they are transformed into liquids before being made into something new," said a professor named Matthew Jones. "The problem is, melting plastic changes its properties and reduces the quality. Out method of chemical recycling overcomes this problem. Then plastics can be used all over again without losing any properties?"
The researchers are recycling some kinds of plastics, including plant-based PLA, a plastic used for food packaging and PET, which is used for drink bottles. So far, the technology has only been demonstrated on a small range. However, scientists are now working to produce larger quantities of starting chemicals.
"There is no single solution to the problem of plastic waste — the approach has to be a combination of reducing, reusing and recycling. Our method of chemical recycling could allow carbon to be recycled endlessly rather than digging more up from the ground in the form of fossil fuels, or letting it into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas," said Dr. Paul McKeown from the University of Bath.
