Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. _17_ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.

Many regions in China have introduced COVID-19 vaccination (接种疫苗) among children aged 3 to 11. Kids are encouraged to take it and the project is progressing, which might be important to stopping the spread of the coronavirus. _21_Why do children get the same dosage (剂量) as adults?When children get sick, they are generally given a reduced dosage. Many parents are worried that the same COVID-19 vaccine dosage will be a burden on the small body. So there is need for proper dose in children. _22_. The process of vaccines taking effect has no relation with the weight and body surface area of the receiver. In fact, for the majority of vaccines, the recommended doses for both babies and adults are the same.Can children have full immunity (免疫力) after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?Some parents doubt whether vaccinating children aged 3 to 11 can produce the due immune effect as their immune systems are still developing. Actually, vaccines can work exactly the same in both children and adults. The vaccine will produce a near 100 percent immune response in children._23_ So the same vaccination strategy has been adopted for all age groups in China._24_A vaccine has to go through a strict procedure before being widely used in a specific age group. Enough data need to be collected to get emergency use or come onto the market. So the medical experiments have to be considered in advance. China has carried out a series of such studies. Based on research resnlts, the risk of negative reactions in children is no higher than that of adults._25_.

Winter is connected with fun and games: snowball fights, skiing, and, every four years, the Winter Olympics. But what will a winter sports enthusiast do if the snow doesnt make an appearance? _26_ Artificial snow is more like a tightly packed frozen snow that is partly melt. _27_ They are broken up by a high-pressure pump at first and then turn into small frozen pieces. Most artificial snow is made using snow cannons. As the airs cooling capacity falls, so does the amount of water that can be pumped through the machine. _28_ At -4 a snow cannon can operate at around 80% humidity. But if the outside temperature is -1, this must be reduced to around 30% humidity.In 1980, the Olympics held in America became the first Winter Games to use machine-made snow. _29_ Artificial snow also appeared at the two recent Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia (2014), and Vancouver, British Columbia (2010). And the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is the first to rely entirely on artificial snow._30_ The International Olympic Committee states that it creates a more consistent surface.

The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. _32_Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde was the worlds fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew. A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. _33_34_ It stops the plane from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.“Its always something that people would like a transportation system that could take you from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr. Bombardier told the BBC_35_ The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality. ANo Concordes were flown again after 2003.BThere are huge differences between high-speed planes.CBut the Antipode would probably reach a crazy 25,750 km/h!DDont try to buy a ticket for the plane yet, though.EThen it could fly from London to New York in less than 20 minutes.FThe superfast plane could only carry ten passengers.GThe Antipodes design includes a special nose.

When reaching a new place, they also bring their customs there. So now many people in Northern China also eat Tangyuan.AHere are some examples.BMany foods are made of rice.CThe differences bring many bad results.DBut the differences are gradually disappearing.EAs a result, people in Southern China often prefer rice.FThat way, they believe life in the next year will be “sweet”.GChinas north and south also have a difference in New Year decorating.
