Earlier that day, the pop musics former queen was found dead in her hotel room. She was 48. This, no doubt, was sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world.At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world. From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the worlds best-selling artists. She impressed audiences with her effortless, powerful and peerless performance.Besides multimillion record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing and the most famous I Will Always Love You. She also influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey.But at the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstar. Houston had been addicted to drugs. Her album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse (撕哑的), unable to hit the high notes as she used to.In 2020, Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You, which fell on top of the charts. Because of her hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness, Houstons comeback trail wasnt smooth at all. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2020, Houston admitted, “It ( show business) is too much for me and I wanted out.”Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest in peace.16.

Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients of the real thing.People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases, counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen(对乙酰氨基酚). The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeit. The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries. The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan and New Zealand.But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify. And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (全息图) on their products as a security device.20.

On average, children in prams breathe at a height of about 0.85 metres, meaning they are exposed to about 60 percent more pollution than adults.On top of this, particle pollution is more dangerous to babies than adults, says Jonathan Griggs at Queen Mary University of London, who was not involved in the study. Babies breathe faster than adults and they are easily hurt for the effects of pollution because the protective mechanisms in their lungs are not yet fully developed, he says.When choosing the best pram for defending against pollution, the weather is also a factor. Hot summer air concentrates pollution close to the ground, making seat height particularly important. But when the air is cold, the heat from car exhausts (排气管) causes dangerous particles higher in the air, after which they fall. In these cases, prams with some kind of covering can help protect children from pollution falling down on them from above.“There are very few existing studies to draw convincing evidence on which pram design is best,” says Prashant Kumar, who led the research. So far
