最好吃的水果。
我来北京学习汉语已经三个星期了。在这里，我有很多有意思的事情。
上星期，我生病了，向老师请假去医院看医生。所以，上午没去上课。中午十二点，我回宿舍了，同学告诉我老师要来。老师为什么来呢?他不相信我生病了吗 ?我很不高兴，我想去别的宿舍。可是，还没出去，老师就来了。我问老师:“老师，你不相信我生病了吗?”老师听了，笑起来”:“不，我来看看你怎么样了。现在你发烧吗？吃药了吗？看，我还去商店给你买了水果呢!”
这是我吃过的最好吃的水果。要是我去了别的宿舍，就不能吃水果了。

朋友们你们好！今天的零食是一个小故事，叫做“面包和鸡蛋”。

面包说：“我是白色的，黄鸡蛋，你不要来！”
鸡蛋说：“我是圆的，方面包，你不要来！”
哥哥听了笑起来，他说：“黄鸡蛋在上面，白面包在下面。”
吃了一大口，哥哥说：“好吃，好吃！”

La magia de la vida

Episodio 11: Los aretes de mariposa


You just got into bed after a long day, and you're exhausted. You plan to spend a few minutes on your phone — maybe scrolling Instagram or TikTok — and then sleep.

But when you try to sleep, it's not as easy as you thought it would be. You were so tired — what happened?

According to a new study, your phone may be the problem.

The study, done by researchers at New Zealand's University of Otago, involved 85 kids aged 11 to 14. They each spent a week wearing a body camera on their chest starting from three hours before they got into bed.

A second camera was also placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use once they were in bed. They also wore a device that tracked their sleep.

The researchers found that 99% of the participants used their phones in the two hours before bed. More than half used their phones while they were in bed, and about a third used their phones after trying to go to sleep.

The results showed that screen time in bed affected participants' sleep — it stopped them from going to sleep for about half an hour, and also reduced the amount of sleep they got.

The impact was larger when participants had a more interactive experience — such as playing a game — or if they used more than one screen. For every additional 10 minutes of this type of screen time, sleep time was reduced by the same amount.

Interestingly, phone use in the two hours before bed had little impact on sleep.

According to lead researcher Bradley Brosnan, the results suggest that, while current guidelines recommend no screen time in the hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might be enough for a better night's sleep.
