12、 care about losing his rental income in April, nor did he care to calculate the amount that he would not be collecting from his 80 apartments.

The associate professor at Rush University Medical Center designed a device that fits inside of vending machines and waits 25 seconds before releasing the typical processed snacks. But healthier farelike peanuts or popcorndrops instan

18、tly. Think of it as a sort of time lax. The idea is that every second you spend waiting for a snack will make you want it less. We were interested in the ability to test whether time delays can influence people to healthier choices. Appelhans says.So, he created DISC, or Delays to Influence Snack Ch

19、oice, to test the idea. The device is a platform inserted inside a vending machine that catches snacks falling from the top half of the machine, where a vending machine operator would sort all of the unhealthy snacks. On the display window, a written instruction tells customers theyll have to wait f

20、or an extra 25 seconds for less-healthy snacks.When a snack falls onto DISC, it sets off a 25-second countdown(倒计时) on the vending machines display screen. At the end of the countdown, DISC drops its platform and the snack falls into the vending machines bay. Healthier snacks are all sorted into the

21、 bottom half of the vending machine and so would bypass the platform altogether. During the months DISC was in operation, people started going for more healthy snacks.Whenever the delay was introduced, Appelhans saw a roughly 5 percent rise of healthy snacks sales. The effect is not huge, but if you

26、eir children. While homeschooling is a growing interest to some parents due to the risk of COVID-19, they may not have the resources or time for it.This is where a method called micro-schooling comes into play. Kansas learning Academy and Preschool owner Sherry Staving who teaches traditional school

27、 topics has adopted micro-schooling, which allows parents to choose the curriculum（课程） they want their children to learn.She said a few parents have asked her if she could homeschool their children in the fall because they have COVID-19 concerns. Shes been working with a teacher in the community to

28、put together a micro-schooling plan that she said is essentially a mix between homeschooling and private school.With micro-schooling children would be out of a traditional classroom, but also not stuck at home.

29、uld monitor and facilitate the curriculum parents want for their children.I was researching micro-schooling and it is really a great concept because parents still have control over their kids education, Stavig said.
