Babies who are breastfed may be more likely to be successful in lifea new study published Tuesday suggestsThe study followed more than 3000 babies into adulthood in BrazilThe researchers found those who were breastfed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30sstayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉)
Breastfeeding not only has shortterm benefitsbut also breastfeeding has longterm benefitssays Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazilwho led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health
Doctors have long known that breastfeeding can be good for a baby’s healthThis is especially true in poor countrieswhere water can be contaminatedFor instancea baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breastfedIn the USsome research has suggested that breastfeeding may raise a baby’s IQ(智商)by a few pointsBut a recent study with siblings(兄弟姐妹)found little advantage to breastfeeding
Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breastfeeding had longterm effectsSo Horta analyzed data collected from 3493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birthThey are now in their 30s
Firstthe researchers gave the subjects IQ testsThose who were breastfed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 376 points higher than those who were breastfed for less than one monththe team found
When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were makingthey also found a clear differenceThose who were breastfed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher

Every day the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300 million copies of daily papers over 400 million radio sets and over 150 million television sets
Additional news is shown by motion pictures in theatres and cinemas all over the world As more people learn what the important events of the day are fewer are still concerned exclusively with the events of their own household As the English writer John Donne put it nearly four hundred years ago no man is an island This idea is more appropriate today than it was when Donne lived In short wherever he lives a man belongs to some society and we are becoming more and more aware that whatever happens in one particular society affects somehow the life and destiny(命运) of all humanity
Newspapers have been published in the modern world for about four hundred years Most of the newspapers printed today are read in Europe and North America However soon they may be read in all parts of the world thanks to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper publishing

Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(读写力) without any formal instructionMost parents would be alarmed by such an approachwhich would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understandingThis however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schoolsWhy is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach
Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any schoolbut as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child’s moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as considerationcourage and honor qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德)
I personally find that exploring a virtue over a twoweek period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(融入)itselfOnce a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbsAllowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interestingand the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motivesIt’s also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control
Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their charactersWhen something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening againFor instancewhen am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the libraryinstead of a response such asthat was really disrespectful and selfish of youwe draw out from them the required virtue When you’re walking through the librarywhat virtues do you need to use

When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last yearhe promised to end a controversial(争议)citywide cellphone ban(禁令)in public schoolswhich is not equally enforced in all schoolsNowunder his leadershipthe city is preparing to end the banIt will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class
Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that saysIf we don’t see itwe don’t know about it That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phonesas long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets
But at the 88 city schools with metal detectorsdie ban has been strictly enforcedThe detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schoolsbut the scanners(扫描器)can also detect cell phonesSo students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them
The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael BloombergEnding the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the banWorkers in vans(厢式货车)that resemble food tracks store teens’ cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day
Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergencyThey also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatoryWhere the ban is enforcedit puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to store their phones
Before putting an official end to the cellphone bancity education officials are working on creating a new policyIt will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests

Babies who are breastfed may be more likely to be successful in lifea new study published Tuesday suggestsThe study followed more than 3000 babies into adulthood in BrazilThe researchers found those who were breastfed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30sstayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉)
Breastfeeding not only has shortterm benefitsbut also breastfeeding has longterm benefitssays Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazilwho led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health
Doctors have long known that breastfeeding can be good for a baby’s healthThis is especially true in poor countrieswhere water can be contaminatedFor instancea baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breastfedIn the USsome research has suggested that breastfeeding may raise a baby’s IQ(智商)by a few pointsBut a recent study with siblings(兄弟姐妹)found little advantage to breastfeeding
Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breastfeeding had longterm effectsSo Horta analyzed data collected from 3493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birthThey are now in their 30s
Firstthe researchers gave the subjects IQ testsThose who were breastfed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 376 points higher than those who were breastfed for less than one monththe team found
When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were makingthey also found a clear differenceThose who were breastfed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher

Every day the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300 million copies of daily papers over 400 million radio sets and over 150 million television sets
Additional news is shown by motion pictures in theatres and cinemas all over the world As more people learn what the important events of the day are fewer are still concerned exclusively with the events of their own household As the English writer John Donne put it nearly four hundred years ago no man is an island This idea is more appropriate today than it was when Donne lived In short wherever he lives a man belongs to some society and we are becoming more and more aware that whatever happens in one particular society affects somehow the life and destiny(命运) of all humanity
Newspapers have been published in the modern world for about four hundred years Most of the newspapers printed today are read in Europe and North America However soon they may be read in all parts of the world thanks to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper publishing
Electronics and automation(电子动化)have made it possible to produce pictures and text far more quickly than before Therefore the publishing of newspapers and magazines becomes more economical

Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(读写力) without any formal instructionMost parents would be alarmed by such an approachwhich would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understandingThis however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schoolsWhy is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach
Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any schoolbut as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child’s moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as considerationcourage and honor qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德)
I personally find that exploring a virtue over a twoweek period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(融入)itselfOnce a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbsAllowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interestingand the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motivesIt’s also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control
Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their charactersWhen something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening againFor instancewhen am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the libraryinstead of a response such asthat was really disrespectful and selfish of youwe draw out from them the required virtue When you’re walking through the librarywhat virtues do you need to use

Is that 6 amwoke out getting in the way of good sleepDon’t think your fat cells won’t noticeA new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shuteye has a harmful effect on fat cellsreducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素)by about 30 percentOver the longtermthis decreased response could set the stage for type2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood)fatty liver disease and weight gain
The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there’ an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a goodhealthy body weightsays sleep expert Helene Emsellemdirector of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy ChaseMarylandBut Americans don’t seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours par nightMore than 1 in 5 of usaccording to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionis getting six or fewer hours of sleep per nighton average
So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research projectThey were all youngthin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep labFor four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 85 hours a nightsays BradyThena month laterthey came back for four additional nightsbut this time they were allowed just 45 hours of sleep per nightAnd after each visitresearchers got a sample of their fatBrady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleepI was very surprised to be honesthe says
Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulinFat cells are actually your friend
he saysThey’re there to store lipids(血脂)When lipids stay inside the cellsyour body can utilize the fat when you’re exercising or sleeping or going about your dayHoweverwhen fat cells stare to become insulin resistantthe lipids star to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstreamBrady says

When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last yearhe promised to end a controversial(争议)citywide cellphone ban(禁令)in public schoolswhich is not equally enforced in all schoolsNowunder his leadershipthe city is preparing to end the banIt will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class
Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that saysIf we don’t see itwe don’t know about it That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phonesas long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets
But at the 88 city schools with metal detectorsdie ban has been strictly enforcedThe detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schoolsbut the scanners(扫描器)can also detect cell phonesSo students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them
The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael BloombergEnding the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the banWorkers in vans(厢式货车)that resemble food tracks store teens’ cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day
Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergencyThey also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatoryWhere the ban is enforcedit puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to store their phones
Before putting an official end to the cellphone bancity education officials are working on creating a new policyIt will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests
