8、. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right.

10、urned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve（阀） sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dads pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse.

15、s they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them.

16、s put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child

17、without knowing about it while using his mobile phone.

18、to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But thats not all.

24、e been willing to pay up to twice more for goods with organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products arent n

25、ecessarily more nutritious, and theyre no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,

26、says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. So consumers shouldnt assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers

28、ave chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers

29、did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies conf

30、irm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesnt always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available m
