 Đeo chuông cho mèo

Trong một cửa hàng bách hóa nọ có rất nhiều chuột. Hằng ngày, chúng phá phách và làm hư hỏng rất nhiều hàng hóa. Vì vậy, chủ tiệm đã quyết định mua một con mèo để dẹp yên lũ chuột này. Đàn chuột rất lo lắng về điều đó và tìm cách tự cứu lấy mình.

Một con chuột đứng dậy và nói: “Tôi có kế hoạch này, nếu chúng ta đeo một cái chuông vào cổ của con mèo thì mọi cử động của nó, chúng ta đều biết được”. Đây cũng là một ý kiến hay, thế nhưng vấn đề được đặt ra là ai sẽ làm điều đó. Và khi câu hỏi này được nêu lên, không một ai đáp lại.

Fluency Mastery 101 Podcast Lesson 1: Food Delivery Services

Being a picky eater can mean a number of different things. It may describe someone who doesn't like to try new foods, or someone who prefers plain meals. It can also refer to someone who eats quite a narrow range of foods.

It's quite common for children to be picky eaters. They may only like their pasta without sauce, or their bread cut in a certain shape.

Parents often feel they're to blame when their children are picky eaters. But according to a new study, picky eating is mostly caused by our genes.

Researchers in the UK looked at data from identical and non-identical twins who had been followed from birth since 2007.

Identical twins share 100% of their genes, while non-identical twins share half, on average. Studying these twins allowed the researchers to compare the eating habits of people who were genetically the same and those who weren't, but still grew up in the same home together.

More than 4,800 twins were included in the study. Their parents completed questionnaires about how picky their children were aged 16 months, then again at the ages of 3, 5, 7 and 13.

Not all parents completed the questionnaires as their children got older, but from the results, the researchers found that the eating habits of identical twins were much more similar than those of non-identical twins.

They also found that genetic variation explained 60% of the differences in food pickiness at 16 months, and 74% between the ages of 3 and 13. Meanwhile, shared environment only explained 15% to 26% of these differences, and the environmental effect was strongest when children were younger.

However, the researchers added that environmental effects are still important: parents can still influence their children's eating habits by eating together as a family, and by offering a wide variety of different foods, for example.
