指鼠为鸭
在一段广为流传的视频中,中国一所技术学院食堂的盖饭中含有一名学生声称的死老鼠头,这再次引发了人们对中国学校食堂食品安全的担忧。
《澎湃新闻》报道,6月1日,位于中国东南部江西省的江西工业职业技术学院的一名身份不明的学生在他的饭菜中发现了该物体,并对此感到震惊。
在这名学生拍摄的一段广为流传的视频中,可以看到他用筷子夹起老鼠头,上面似乎可以看到牙齿、眼睛和鼻子。
在视频中,该学生以令人不安的细节描述了他对所见“异物”的看法——指出了他所说的牙齿、眼睛,甚至鼻子。
这名学生在网上分享了这段视频,并向食堂报告了这起事件。针对该视频引发的网上猜测,该学院要求当地食品监管部门对食堂进行食品安全检查。
官员们对这一物品进行了评估,报告说这是一块煮熟的鸭脖。
“这是鸭脖,不是老鼠头。”食品安全检查员蒋先生在检查完这道菜后说,但更多的样本已经收集起来,有待进一步的测试。
6月3日,在食堂检查结束后,该学院发布了一份公告,称其已清除了任何安全和卫生违规行为。
学院管理部门表示,该学生分享的视频损害了学校的声誉,并要求该学生在网上澄清此事。
在近年来发生了几起卫生丑闻之后,这起事件再次引发了人们对中国教育机构食品安全的长期担忧。
学院还承诺改善食堂的食品卫生管理,以打消学生和员工的疑虑。
然而,许多相信事情并不简单,纷纷在网上发表看法。在撰写本文时,这篇有关此事的微博已经收到了近3500条评论。
另一位评论者问道:“这个异物还有鼻子和眼睛,我怎么能相信那只是个鸭脖呢?”
在中国,奇怪的食品卫生事件经常引起公众的注意。去年12月,中国西南部的一名女子在大陆社交媒体上透露她用泔水洗碗,引发了争议。
2022年9月,中国南方一所大学的学生在吃饭时发现食物中有蟑螂和虫子,随后该校的一群学生在网上举报了学校食堂的食品安全问题,并提供了包括照片在内的证据。

Babies’ sleep patterns
From: LearnAndRecord
Pairing the words “baby” and “sleep” can evoke strong emotions. Those who have had limited contact with little ones might interpret this word-combination ___________ implying deep and prolonged slumber. For others, this union of words may elicit memories of prolonged periods of chaotic sleep (or what can feel like no sleep at all).
Coping with the way babies sleep can be difficult. It’s not that babies don’t sleep. In fact, they sleep more than at any other stage of life. It’s more an issue of ___________ they sleep. Newborns start by sleeping and waking around ___________ clock. This is not always easy for parents. There is even research ___________ (suggest) that in adults, waking repeatedly at night can feel as bad as getting hardly any sleep in terms of attentional skills, fatigue levels and symptoms of depression.
As to why infants wake at night, this is best explained by thinking about the two things that govern our sleep: the homeostatic and circadian processes. The crux of the homeostatic process is the straightforward idea ___________ the longer we have been awake, the greater our sleep drive (and the more sleepy we feel). It may take an adult an entire day to build up enough sleep drive to fall asleep at bedtime, ___________ an infant may only need an hour or two of wakefulness before being able to drift off to sleep.
The second process is circadian, which works like a clock. Adults typically feel more awake during the morning hours and sleepy at night, regardless of when we last ___________ (sleep). In very young babies, this process is not yet developed. This means that sleep is more likely to occur at different points across the 24-hour day.
Practically speaking, the immaturity of these two processes mean that that newborn babies are expected to wake at night: they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do! They start life with small ___________ (stomach) which need to be filled regularly so you child can gain strength and stay hydrated, so it’s a good thing that they are waking regularly to feed. As hard as disturbed sleep can be for caregivers, a waking baby is a good thing.
But how long might this continue? The parenting mantra “this too shall pass” is true when it comes to dealing with certain aspects of a baby’s sleep. Night wakings typically become ___________ (frequent) as an infant ages, and sleep changes in other ways throughout a person’s life. For example, sleep length reduces and there are changes in sleep architecture. A premature baby’s sleep cycle might take just 45 minutes, whereas an adult’s can be double that at 90 minutes. Other changes also occur; for example, whereas babies’ sleep cycles start with REM-like sleep, adults start with NREM sleep.
For some parents, knowing that sleep changes throughout life is enough to help them cope with an infant’s night awakenings. In fact, sleep education alone can help some parents to deal with infant sleep. Other parents want more detailed information, such as about babies’ sleep schedules, bedtime routines, sleep problems, sleep safety, sleep environment, naps, sleep training, and special circumstances. We provide all this information and more on our website ___________ physicians, psychologists, and researchers from the Pediatric Sleep Council have also answered hundreds of questions about sleep via video and text. In addition, on Baby Sleep Day, we will be available to answer your individual questions via our Facebook page.
Remember: sleep matters. Experts agree that sleep is essential for health, growth and general development. It is important not just for babies, but for parents too. If we can improve sleep within a family, and create a happy association between the words “baby” and “sleep”, then the Pediatric Sleep Council and Baby Sleep Day have achieved their goal.

婴儿的睡眠模式
将“婴儿”和“睡眠”这两个词组合在一起,往往会激起强烈的情感。对于那些与小孩接触较少的人来说,可能会认为这两个词的组合意味着深沉而长久的睡眠。而对其他人来说,这两个词的组合可能勾起他们对长期混乱睡眠(或感觉几乎没睡)的记忆。
应对婴儿的睡眠方式可能会很困难。这并不是说婴儿不睡觉。实际上,他们在生命中的这个阶段比任何时候都要睡得多。更主要的问题是他们何时睡觉。新生儿一开始是昼夜不分地睡觉和醒来。这对父母来说并不容易。甚至有研究表明,对于成人来说,夜间反复醒来可能会让人感觉像是几乎没有睡一样糟糕,这体现在注意力、疲劳程度和抑郁症状上。
至于为什么婴儿会在夜间醒来,这可以通过考虑控制我们睡眠的两个因素来解释:稳态调节过程和昼夜节律过程。睡眠稳态调节过程的关键是一个简单的概念:我们保持清醒的时间越长,我们的睡眠驱动力就越强(我们感觉越困)。对于成人来说,可能需要一整天的时间来积累足够的睡眠驱动力以在睡前时间入睡,但婴儿可能只需要一两个小时的清醒时间就能够入睡。
第二个过程是昼夜节律,它就像一个时钟。不论上次睡觉是什么时候,成年人通常在早晨感觉更清醒,而在晚上感觉困倦。对于非常小的婴儿来说,这个过程尚未发育成熟。这意味着更可能在24小时内的不同时间点睡眠。
从实际角度来说,由于这两个过程还未发育全,新生婴儿在夜间醒来实际上是正常现象:他们正按部就班地做着应该做的事情!新生儿的胃很小,需要定期进食以增强体力并保持水分,因此他们经常醒来进食是件好事。尽管睡眠不断受到干扰对照顾者来说会很艰难,但对醒来的婴儿是好的。
但这种情况会持续多久呢?谈到应对婴儿睡眠时,家长们的口头禅“这一切终将过去”是正确的。随着婴儿的成长,夜间醒来的频率通常会降低,而且在人的一生中睡眠还会发生其他方面的变化。例如,睡眠时间会减少,睡眠结构也会发生变化。早产儿的睡眠周期可能只有45分钟,而成年人的睡眠周期可能是其两倍——90分钟。还有其他变化,例如,婴儿的睡眠周期从类似快速眼动睡眠开始,而成年人从非快速眼动睡眠开始。
对一些父母来说,了解睡眠在一生中的变化就足以帮助他们应对婴儿夜间醒来的问题。事实上,仅仅是睡眠教育就可以帮助一些父母应对婴儿的睡眠问题。其他父母想要更详细的信息,比如关于婴儿的睡眠时间表、睡前习惯、睡眠问题、睡眠安全、睡眠环境、午睡、睡眠训练以及特殊情况。在我们的网站上,我们提供了包括这些内容在内的许多信息,儿科睡眠委员会的医生、心理学家和研究人员还通过视频和文字回答了数百个关于睡眠的问题。此外,在婴儿睡眠日当天,我们将通过我们的Facebook主页回答您的个人问题。
请记住:睡眠很重要。专家们一致认为,睡眠对健康、成长和整体发育至关重要。不仅对婴儿很重要,对父母也很重要。如果我们能够改善家庭的睡眠,并在“婴儿”和“睡眠”这两个词之间建立起快乐的联系,那么儿科睡眠委员会和婴儿睡眠日就实现了他们的目标。
