Israel Battles Hezbollah in Lebanon 以色列与黎巴嫩真主党之战
The conflict began on July 12 when eight Israeli soldiers were killed and two were captured in a battle between Hezbollah and Israeli forces. Hezbollah is a Shiite militant group that opposes Israel and is active mostly in southern Lebanon. In response, Israel launched a massive military attack into Southern Lebanon and the country’s capital, Beirut. After a recent end to years of civil war, Lebanon had been rebuilding. Now, the fighting is destroying the country’s new-found prosperity.
7月12日，当以色列军队与黎巴嫩真主党民兵发生冲突时，八名以色列士色被杀，两名士兵被俘。真主党是反以色列的什叶派激进团体，主要活跃于黎巴嫩南方。响应7月12日的冲突，以色列对黎巴嫩南方及首都贝鲁特发动大规模军事攻击。黎巴嫩最近才刚结束多年内战，正处于重建家园的阶段，但这次以黎战争正摧毁该国新兴的繁荣。
Study: Surroundings Play Key Role in Diet 研究：环境大大影响饮食习惯
A new study shows that our surroundings help determine how much we eat. This phenomenon is called “unit bias.” Simply put, it’s why we think a single unit of food, like a bottle or a plateful, is the right amount to eat, regardless of how big or small it might be. To prove this, researchers put a large bowl of M&Ms in the lobby of an apartment building. They put a sign by it saying “Eat Your Fill,” along with either a large or small spoon. Sure enough, on days when they left the larger spoon, people took two-thirds more M&Ms! The experiment shows that the environment surrounding us affects our idea of what a unit of food should be.
一项新的研究显示，环境影响我们的食量。此现象称为「单位偏见」。简单来说，单位偏见说明为什么我们会认为某个食物单位，如一瓶或者一盘为正确的份量，而不论这个单位是大或小。为证明此现象，研究人员在某公寓大厅放一大碗的M&M巧克力，旁边放置「尽情取用」的标示和一个大汤匙或小汤匙。没错，在留下大汤匙的时候，人们就多吃了三分之二的M&M。这项实验显示，周围的环境会影响我们对一份食物单位的看法。
