8、y things.

My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives an

15、rise, a report suggests, causing fresh warning from road safety groups in Britain.A US-based study found a total of 116 reports of death or injury to pedestrians wearing headphones between 2004 and 2011, jumping from16 in2005 to47 in2011.Most victims were men (68%) and under the age of 30 (67%), wit

16、h around one in ten of all cases (9%) under the age of 18.Some 89% of the cases occurred in urban areas and more than half (55%) of the victims were struck by trains .Eighty-one of the 116 accidents (70%) resulted in the persons deatheven though a warning was sounded in around a third of the cases.T

17、he study concluded, “The use of headphone may be a safety risk to pedestrians , especially in environments with moving vehicles. Further research is needed to determine if and how headphone use threatens pedestrian safety.” British road safety groups warned pedestrians to be careful.Floor Lieshout,

18、director of Youth For Road Safety, said, “ This study shows once more the importance of using all of our senses while we are near traffic. It is important that we find an attractive way to make youth learn about the risks of wearing headphones in traffic.”Andrew Howard , who is the head of road safe

19、ty at the Automobile Association, added that some pedestrians can be “so immersed in their own little world that they forget the world going on around them”. That can include headphone wearers, Howard said, but also people talking on phones.However, Howard said that more researches needed to be done

20、.Earlier studies have shown that people wearing headphones or talking on phones can suffer “inattentional blindness” which makes them isolated (孤立) from the world around them .Ian Harvey, at the charity Civic Voice, said that “ to defeat isolation and to help build a civic(文明的) society, people need

21、to interactwith each other .He said, “ A basis for any civilized society is communicationSurfing the web, listening to MP3s, reading blogs or sending e-mail is not interacting with a person; its interacting with a machine.“If people feel socially isolated, they need to have more face-to-face interac

25、me. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on childrens bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.Scientists measured this by studying the ends of childrens chromosomes(染色体), called telomeres, says

26、 Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in MolecularPsychiatry.Telomeres are special DNA sequences （序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.Several factors have been found to shorten telom

27、eres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make childrens telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of

28、 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the childrens telomeresin cells obtained by swabbing(擦拭) the insides of their cheeksat ages

29、5 and 10.Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.Shalev says

30、there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says. The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood advers

31、ity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.13.
