Tree Pruning -Our arborists ( 树艺师 ) are trained to recognize the unique needs of your trees, taking into account factors such as the tree s age, health and in the third group they were just told to eat their lunch. Later in the afternoon, each participant had access to a variety of biscuits on a plate, and the amount each person ate was assessed by weighing the plate before and afterwards. There was a significant difference between the groups. Those in the high-distraction condition ate 69 percent more snacks than the no-distraction group, and those in the low-distraction group ate 28 percent more than those in the no-distraction group. A second experiment, involving a further 63 people, was similar but involved watching TV in the distraction condition and eating soup and bread. This found that those who watched TV while eating their lunch ate 19 percent more biscuits later on than those who had eaten their meal without any distractions. A third experiment was also carried out, in which 45 normal-weight people were allocated to three groups. The first listened to an audio clip instructing them to imagine they were watching themselves eatmaking them extremely focused on their own food intake. The second listened to a clip instructing them to imagine they were watching a celebrity specifically David Beckhameat, making them still focused on the food, but to a lesser degree; the third, which was the control group, just ate their lunch in silence. When all participants were given access to biscuits later, those in the self-imagining group-i.e. those who had really paid attention to what they were eating ate far fewer than the other groups. 28.Why does eating dinner with a TV or a Smartphone make us fat?

D Earth is experiencing its sixth mass extinction: somewhere between 30 and 159 species (物种 ) disappear every day, and more than 300 types of animals have died out since the 1900s. This is not good for the future of life on our planet, but what if we could make some of the extinct species come back to life? Thanks to ongoing advances in DNA recovery and cloning technology, de-extinction may soon be realized, and we may see Tasmanian Tigers, or Dodo Birds back into existence in the near future. Some scientists are confident and optimistic about de-extinction. They think that the best reasons for de-extinction have more to d o with ecology than tourism. “ lf this is always going to be a zoo animal, then stop,” says Ben Novak, the lead researcher at Revive & Restore-a foundation devoted to rescuing endangered and extinct species in San Francisco, California. “ The goals have to be about ecological restoration and function.” Take passenger pigeons for example. Their numbers reached nearly 5 billion at the start of the 19th century, and they mattered a lot in shaping the forests they inhabited( 居住 ). After their extinction, the forests have never been the same. The passenger pigeon is a very critical ecological species if we want their 6 original habitat back” , Novak says. However, we need to t hink twice about Novak s idea. Any new scientific idea is bound to have risks, so is de-extinction. Although some assume that de-extinction may help the environment, we can t be so certain. The de-extinct animals would now be strangers to their habitats. As the habitat is no longer what it was, the species role within the ecosystem
