It was the day before Thanksgiving and Kaleb Benham, a 24-year-old strong man, was wandering around outside his home in Northern California. His 90-pound dog, Buddy, was playing around nearby, doing what dogs usually do. Only this time, Buddy was getting into a whole lot of trouble.
The sound that no one wants to hear alone in the woods caught Benham's attention. It was the deep roar of a black bear. Benham drove around to see the beast, which weighed around 350 pounds, some 100 feet away. In a second, the bear grabbed(猛然抓取) Buddy's head and started pulling him away.
Benham ran after them. "Honestly," he told CBS13 in Sacramento, "the only thing I could think of was 'save my baby'. " Rushing, he lowered his shoulder and crashed into the bear. But it only seized Buddy tightly. Benham's heart jumped. He shouted and threw a stone at the bear. Nothing. He found out his can of hair spray(喷雾). He tried firing it immediately at the bear. A bright red cloud enveloped it, and the bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods.
Buddy was in bad shape. He lay there almost out of breath and his face was terribly broken. "My first thought was that I was going to lose him," Benham said. He picked up Buddy, put him into his car, and sped off to a nearby veterinarian (兽医). Buddy's operation took nearly four hours.
This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS13. The first was from a shelter a few years ago. "If it was your kid, what would you do?" he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, "That's my kid. "
Health campaigners have warned that some of Britain's largest restaurant are serving dishes with unacceptably high levels of salt to children.
A survey of 302 meals on children's menus by the campaign(运动) group Action on Salt found that 41 percent contained more than 1. 8 grams of salt, the maximum(最大量) recommended amount for a child's meal set by Public Health England in 2017. The group's research also found that 34 percent of the meals had more than 2g of salt. The saltiest meal analyzed was the cheeseburger with fries made by Gourmet Burger Kitchen.
The survey also found that levels of salt for the same meal could be different, depending on which restaurant made them. The spaghetti made by the Italian restaurant Prezzo contained 3. 2g of salt compared with 0. 3g in the version made by Beefeater.
In September 2020 PHE set out new maximum salt recommendations for children's meals. It wants the level reduced to 1. 71g by 2024. Action on Salt found that nearly half of the meals it surveyed exceeded this level, including most meals at Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Pizza Hut. But some restaurants, for example Brewers Fayre, Burger King and Ikea, made all their children's dishes with less than 1. 71g of salt.
Graham MacGregor, professor of cardiovascular( 心血管的) medicine at Queen Mary University of
London, said, "Slowly reducing the salt that is added to our food is the most cost-effective measure for lowering blood pressure and reducing the thousands of strokes and heart disease which are caused by eating too much salt. Government officials must now force certain restaurants to stop adding all of this salt and putting our children's future health at risk. "
It is not very difficult to find the pop-science bookshelf in a library. Just look for the most colorful shelf, because the national pop-science books are mostly written for children and teenagers.
This is also proved by publishing sector data. According to China Science Popping Report 2021, the first report on pop-science books published by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2020 alone China had published 98.53 million pop-science books plus 258 kinds of pop-science magazines. However, most of these were for school students; the market and offer for adults are rather small.
This is a major problem for the burgeoning( 生 机 勃 勃 的 ) pop-science sector. For too long, pop-science has been seen as a tool to better teach science to schoolchildren and teenagers, but not adults. Or at least three major national book-selling websites, if one searches for "pop-science", one is naturally reminded of post-fix phrases such as "for teenagers", "for 0-6 years old", "for children".
It is completely necessary to teach pop-science to children, who are the future of the nation and whose sense of science affects the scientific development of the nation. However, this should not be all and the adults' need to study science should not be ignored.
There are so many scientific developments adults will need to keep up to date with, especially during a pandemic. How do masks protect one from the virus? What other measures must one take to stay healthy? Such questions are not juvenile( 未成年的) when one reads about anti-mask movements in the United States. Besides, there are groups that still think that the Earth is flat.
To avoid such madness in China, it is necessary to create interest in pop-science among all age groups, from the grassroots( 草根的) level up. The more adults develop or sharpen their scientific attitudes, the more they can pay attention to their children's knowledge too.
