We touch our faces all the time， and it had never seemed to be a big problem ﹣ until COVID 19 arrived．Touching our faces ﹣ the "T﹣zone' 'of our eye， nose and mouth ﹣ can mean giving ourselves this virus．
This is why some organizations have suggested that we should avoid touching our faces．William Sawyer， from Henry the Hand． told The Washington Post， "Just stop this simple behavior，and that would be better than any vaccine （疫苗）lever created，"
However， stopping this "simple" behavior might he harder than you think because we are used to it．
Some face﹣touching is an automatic reaction： like when there is an itch （痒） on your nose，you'll touch it again and again without thinking． A 2014 study found that touching your face also helps you to have less stress．For example． it's possible for you to do it when you feel embarrassed．According to Dacher Kelmer， a psychologist an the University of Califormia Berkeley， Us． this action may also have a social use： When you are taking to someone， for example， touching your face means you want to talk about another thing．
Besides， it's very hard to change this face touching "because you don't even kn6w you're doing it"，said Sawyer．
But you're not alone． In a 2015 study． it was found that a group of medical students touched their faces about 23 times an hour ﹣ with 44 percent of the touches in the T﹣zones" ， That was very surprising because medical students should know better．
Since it's so hard to shake the habit， maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often．This way， we can be sure that our hands are safe from COVID﹣19．

It seems that food deliverymen （送货员） are always rushing in haste.We can always see them running every minute，and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute.They wear blue，red or yellow helmets （头盔） and many of them don't follow traffic rules.They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights.They use mobile phones when they are driving.
However，not everything goes well with food deliverymen.In the first half of 2017，food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai.That means every two and a half days，a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen take such risks？The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine （罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan if he can't deliver the food on time，reported China Daily.Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.
To solve the problem，food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen，if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice，then he can't do the job for a whole year.

Wild beavers （河狸） are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well． The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!
Over ten years ago， a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter， in Devon．No one knew exactly where they came from． It was a big surprise一wild beavers hadn't lived in England for around 400 years!
In 2015， the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial （试验）． They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild．The trial ends in February．Some scientists from the University of Exeter already say the beavers help the wildlife in the area． One scientist called it" an amazing story"．
A lot of this is because of dams． Beavers build dams along the river． This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down． Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers．Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river． Beavers also help make flooding less，scientists say．The beavers' dams slow down the speed of the river， especially after heavy rain．
There are， however， some problems． Beavers gnaw （咬，啃） on trees and this can harm them．Their dams can also sometimes create floods （洪水） on people's land．
Beavers aren't the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019， red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands． Further away， the world's rarest （罕见的）duck， the Madagascar pochard， is making a comeback． It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well．

Have you ever imagined the life in space？The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.
• Eating in space
If you go camping for more than a week with some friends，you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip，you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.
Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms，such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water，such as cheese.Of course，an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges，so space food must be kept properly.
• Sleeping in space
After a long day at work，nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth，in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time，then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep，they have to attachthemselves，so they don't float （漂浮） around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins （乘员舱）.Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally，astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.
• Doing sports in space
Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss （肌肉萎缩）.Usually，astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed，so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.
Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun，too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

Rice is one of the most commonly eaten basic foods around the world.Buying it and cooking it is a daily matter.Yet for many，its presence has been a matter of life and death.It is a main food because it is easy to grow，besides low cost and convenience.A poor community in the developing world may find it difficult to bring in foreign fruits or raise cattle for meat，but it can almost certainly use the land it has in order to grow plenty of rice.
This was the great achievement of Yuan Longping，who passed away on May 22 this year.A great Chinese scientist，Yuan successfully developed what is known as "hybrid rice" which can produce up a 30% higher output.Yuan Longping was born in the year 1930，a time when China was very different.It was a nation，without modern industry，depending on the rice which they grew.The first few decades （十年） of his life were met with major social events，and a rapidly growing population that made food supply not last all the time.This experience left its mark on Yuan Longping，which made him focus on （关注） farming science and work on his research of hybrid rice.
His achievement would see the rice supply in China increasing from 56.9 million tons in 1950 to 194.7 million tons by 2017.By 1991，20% of the world's rice output came from hybrid rice，even if only being planted in 10% of fields.
Always remember，human development begins first with the most basic and sample things，such as developing rice.We should be thankful for scientific thinkers like Yuan.

"I spent my whole life doing one thing，" Gu Fangzhou once said.Known as "the father of sugar pills （糖丸）"，Gu passed away on January 2，2019.Eight months later，he received a national honorary﹣title （荣誉称号） "the People's Scientist" for his polio （脊髓灰质炎） research.
Gu Fangzhou，a famous medical scientist，was born in June，1926.Gu's family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father.He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944.After graduation，Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955，polio broke out in Nantong，Jiangsu Province.It paralyzed （使瘫痪） 1，680 people，mostly children aged below seven.It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths.Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. "At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine （疫苗），" said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine.Later，he developed the "sugar﹣coated pill" vaccine in the early 1960s.It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep.To test the vaccine，Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one﹣month﹣old son was vaccinated.This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids.They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. "If we don't believe in what we produce，how can others believe in it？" said Gu.
Gradually，the sugar﹣coated polio vaccine was made available in China.It saved millions of people，especially kids，from being disabled.In 2000，the World Health Organization （WHO） announced that China was already a polio﹣free country. "We feel satisfied.I can tell people that I tried my best，and your kids will no longer get polio，" said Gu. "That's all we hoped for. "
