1Hero Elementary, a new cartoon series for child[blank_start]ren[blank_end], which came out on June 1 in the US, ai[blank_start]ms[blank_end] to inspire a love of science and problem-solv[blank_start]ing[blank_end] among its viewers.
The series i[blank_start]s[blank_end] about a group of science-loving superheroes, inclu[blank_start]ding[blank_end] a boy with autism. It takes place inside an elementary sch[blank_start]ool[blank_end] where the superheroes a[blank_start]re[blank_end] learning how to control the[blank_start]ir[blank_end] powers while using science to solve probl[blank_start]ems[blank_end] along the way.
The creat[blank_start]ors[blank_end] of the show have be[blank_start]en[blank_end] subtle about how the[blank_start]y've[blank_end] portrayed the character of AJ Gadgets, wh[blank_start]o[blank_end] has autism.
Viewers fami[blank_start]liar[blank_end] with autism might pick u[blank_start]p[blank_end] on AJ's behavior — he doesn't like lo[blank_start]ud[blank_end] noises or wearing wet clothes, for exa[blank_start]mple[blank_end] — but the creators are fine if other viewers don't notice.
Christine Ferraro, one of the show's creators, sa[blank_start]id[blank_end] it's impor[blank_start]tant[blank_end] to show a ch[blank_start]ild[blank_end] with autism as just one of the kids and not ma[blank_start]ke[blank_end] a big deal about his cond[blank_start]ition[blank_end].
"He's ju[blank_start]st[blank_end] one of the gang. And that's some[blank_start]thing[blank_end] that we don't see a lot on television," Ferraro said. "And that's why we thought it was really important."
The show's creators ho[blank_start]pe[blank_end] the series can teach empathy a[blank_start]nd[blank_end] normalize the idea that all k[blank_start]ids[blank_end] are different.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that i[blank_start]n[blank_end] 2016, one in 54 children we[blank_start]re[blank_end] diagnosed wi[blank_start]th[blank_end] Autism Spectrum Disorder by age 8.

2High school teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a distract[blank_start]ion[blank_end] (3) in her class, but neither she nor h[blank_start]er[blank_end] (2) students knew how mu[blank_start]ch[blank_end] (2) of a problem the devices we[blank_start]re[blank_end] (2) until Chavis did an in-class experi[blank_start]ment[blank_end]. (4)
For one class period, stud[blank_start]ents[blank_end] (4) us[blank_start]ed[blank_end] (2) a whiteboard to count every Snapchat, Instagram, text, call or other notification that appeared on th[blank_start]eir[blank_end] (3) phones. Chavis was shock[blank_start]ed[blank_end] (2) by the results o[blank_start]f[blank_end] (1) her experi[blank_start]ment[blank_end] (4).
"One girl, just dur[blank_start]ing[blank_end] (3) the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!" she sa[blank_start]id[blank_end]. (2)
Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe th[blank_start]at[blank_end] (2) smartphones are n[blank_start]ow[blank_end] (2) one of the bigg[blank_start]est[blank_end] (3) causes of the increase in anxi[blank_start]ety[blank_end] (3) among young people.
Jean Twenge, a psychology profes[blank_start]sor[blank_end] (3) at (1) San Diego State who has stud[blank_start]ied[blank_end] (3) the issue, said it's n[blank_start]o[blank_end] (1) coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen w[blank_start]ith[blank_end] (3) the number of pho[blank_start]nes[blank_end]. (3)
"I definitely feel str[blank_start]ess[blank_end] (3) with ... social media," says 17-year-old Emily Mogavero. "It ki[blank_start]nd[blank_end] (2) of worries me th[blank_start]at[blank_end] (2) I'm o[blank_start]n[blank_end] (1) my phone so much."
To deal w[blank_start]ith[blank_end] (3) the problem, schools a[blank_start]re[blank_end] (2) taking a number o[blank_start]f[blank_end] (1) approaches, including pay[blank_start]ing[blank_end] (3) outside companies to watch students' social med[blank_start]ia[blank_end] (2) activity f[blank_start]or[blank_end] (2) signs of stress and anxiety. Others have organized events in wh[blank_start]ich[blank_end] (3) students don't use their phones f[blank_start]or[blank_end] (2) a day.
So[blank_start]me[blank_end] (2) parents are n[blank_start]ot[blank_end] (2) letting their children g[blank_start]et[blank_end] (2) smartphones until they grow up. Deirdre Birmingham from New Jersey, joined "Wait Until Eighth," along with 20,000 other par[blank_start]ents[blank_end] (4) who cho[blank_start]ose[blank_end] (3) not to let their child[blank_start]ren[blank_end] (3) get phones un[blank_start]til[blank_end] (3) they're teenagers, or i[blank_start]n[blank_end] (1) the 8th grade.
Birmingham beli[blank_start]eves[blank_end] (4) her child wo[blank_start]uld[blank_end] (3) have difficulty mana[blank_start]ging[blank_end] (4) a smartphone. "As a grown-up, I find it difficult some[blank_start]times[blank_end] (5) to manage," s[blank_start]he[blank_end] (2) added.- Aion

3With coronavirus lockdowns forcing millions aro[blank_start]und[blank_end] (3) the world to stay at home, many people have started eating healthier, according t[blank_start]o[blank_end] (1) a recent survey.
Preliminary results fr[blank_start]om[blank_end] (2) the Corona Cooking Survey showed th[blank_start]at[blank_end] (2) people were buying le[blank_start]ss[blank_end] (2) sweet foods, salty snacks, and ready-made meals, and more fr[blank_start]esh[blank_end] (3) fruit and veget[blank_start]ables[blank_end] (5) during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Ma[blank_start]ny[blank_end] (2) also reported reduc[blank_start]ed[blank_end] (2) stress and frustration ab[blank_start]out[blank_end] (3) cooking, tried n[blank_start]ew[blank_end] (2) recipes, and wast[blank_start]ed[blank_end] (2) less food.
The findings are bas[blank_start]ed[blank_end] (2) on online responses giv[blank_start]en[blank_end] (2) by 11,000 people in 11 countries: Austra[blank_start]lia[blank_end] (3), Belgium, Chile, Uganda, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Greece, Canada, Brazil, and Ire[blank_start]land[blank_end] (4).
The study, cond[blank_start]ucted[blank_end] (5) by the University of Antwerp in Belgium, is set to b[blank_start]e[blank_end] (1) expanded t[blank_start]o[blank_end] (1) 25 more countries, w[blank_start]ith[blank_end] (3) the final res[blank_start]ults[blank_end] (4) expected by the e[blank_start]nd[blank_end] (2) of June.
Charlotte De Backer, who led the stu[blank_start]dy[blank_end] (2), pointed o[blank_start]ut[blank_end] (2) that people of[blank_start]ten[blank_end] (3) eat more salty, fatty, and sugary foods wh[blank_start]en[blank_end] (2) they are stres[blank_start]sed[blank_end] (3). But instead of buying them, this ne[blank_start]ed[blank_end] (2) was met during lockdowns with home baking.
Researchers bel[blank_start]ieve[blank_end] (4) that the healthier food choices could be a result of car[blank_start]eful[blank_end] (4) planning, as peo[blank_start]ple[blank_end] (3) try to reduce the amount of ti[blank_start]me[blank_end] (2) they spend in supermarkets.
"If you ma[blank_start]ke[blank_end] (2) a shopping list, you plan yo[blank_start]ur[blank_end] (2) meals ah[blank_start]ead[blank_end] (3) and you are less like[blank_start]ly[blank_end] (2) to add unhealthy food," De Backer said.
However, De Backer suggests th[blank_start]at[blank_end] (2) the healthy eating habits people have adopted dur[blank_start]ing[blank_end] (3) the pandemic are likely to continue wh[blank_start]en[blank_end] (2) life goes back to normal, because lockdowns in m[blank_start]ost[blank_end] (3) countries lasted for m[blank_start]ore[blank_end] (3) than 6 weeks — the amount of ti[blank_start]me[blank_end] (2) it usually takes to form a new habit.

4My dad grew up in the Bronx, wh[blank_start]ere[blank_end] (3) there aren't a[blank_start]ny[blank_end] (2) snakes. He completely hat[blank_start]es[blank_end] (2) nature. He totally igno[blank_start]res[blank_end] (3) our cat, Tig. Which of course me[blank_start]ans[blank_end] (3) that Tig is crazy ab[blank_start]out[blank_end] (3) him.
And if my dad sees a spider, he screams li[blank_start]ke[blank_end] (2) a girl. Th[blank_start]en[blank_end] (2) my mom, who gr[blank_start]ew[blank_end] (2) up on a ranch in Montana and has no patience for spiders o[blank_start]r[blank_end] (1) my dad's screaming, will come i[blank_start]n[blank_end] (1) and kill it, ev[blank_start]en[blank_end] (2) though I've told h[blank_start]er[blank_end] (2) a million times that spiders are extre[blank_start]mely[blank_end] (4) beneficial t[blank_start]o[blank_end] (1) the environment.

5Everyone has to deal wi[blank_start]th[blank_end] (2) problems sometimes, so it's good to have ways t[blank_start]o[blank_end] (1) talk about them.
Sometimes when (2) you notice a small problem o[blank_start]r[blank_end] (1) situation, i[blank_start]t[blank_end] (1) is actually part of someth[blank_start]ing[blank_end] (3) much larger that you can’t see. At times like th[blank_start]is[blank_end] (2), you can say that t[blank_start]he[blank_end] (2) small problem is "just the tip of the iceberg." This is because only about 10% of an iceberg stays ab[blank_start]ove[blank_end] (3) the water.
For example, if you find o[blank_start]ut[blank_end] (2) that someone is lying about your business online, one of y[blank_start]our[blank_end] (3) employees mi[blank_start]ght[blank_end] (3) say, "That's just the tip of the iceberg, th[blank_start]ere[blank_end] (3) are hund[blank_start]reds[blank_end] (4) of people on that website say[blank_start]ing[blank_end] (3) the same thing."

6The Soul Burger was George’s invention and is t[blank_start]he[blank_end] (2) only food served a[blank_start]t[blank_end] (1) Earnestine & Hazel’s, a restaurant. He experimented w[blank_start]ith[blank_end] (3) multiple toppings unt[blank_start]il[blank_end] (2) he settled on the simple formula of bun, burger, American che[blank_start]ese[blank_end] (3), mustard, mayonnaise, pick[blank_start]les[blank_end] (3), sautéed onions, and “soul sauce” served o[blank_start]n[blank_end] (1) a waxed paper–lined red plastic basket accompanied by a snack-size bag o[blank_start]f[blank_end] (1) Golden Flake Thin & Crispy potato chips. On week[blank_start]ends[blank_end] (4), the place typically sells up to three hund[blank_start]red[blank_end] (3) burgers, wh[blank_start]ich[blank_end] (3) take eight minutes to cook p[blank_start]er[blank_end] (2) order, between the ho[blank_start]urs[blank_end] (3) of midnight a[blank_start]nd[blank_end] (2) 3:00 a.m.

7I’ve noticed t[blank_start]hat[blank_end] (3) people inside trains have completely diffe[blank_start]rent[blank_end] (4) expressions fr[blank_start]om[blank_end] (2) people on platforms—especially t[blank_start]he[blank_end] (2) ones who have managed to g[blank_start]et[blank_end] (2) a seat. They’re the on[blank_start]es[blank_end] (2) who got over the mountains to Switzerland. They won’t even look u[blank_start]p[blank_end] (1). They maint[blank_start]ain[blank_end] (3) this guilty, defiant refusal to engage: I know you’re o[blank_start]ut[blank_end] (2) there; I know it’s awful and I’m safe insi[blank_start]de[blank_end] (2), but I suffered too, so let me j[blank_start]ust[blank_end] (3) read my Kindle without bloody guilt-tripping me, OK?
People are push[blank_start]ing[blank_end] (3) and pushing, and someone’s actua[blank_start]lly[blank_end] (3) shoving me—I can feel fingers on my back—and suddenly I’m stepping on[blank_start]to[blank_end] (2) the train floor. Now I need t[blank_start]o[blank_end] (1) grab onto a pole o[blank_start]r[blank_end] (1) a handle—anything—and u[blank_start]se[blank_end] (2) it as leverage. Once your foot’s o[blank_start]n[blank_end] (1) the train, you’re in.
A man way be[blank_start]hind[blank_end] (4) me see[blank_start]ms[blank_end] (2) very angry—I can hear extra- loud shouting a[blank_start]nd[blank_end] (2) cursing. And suddenly there’s a ground- swell behi[blank_start]nd[blank_end] (2) me, like a tsunami of people. I’ve on[blank_start]ly[blank_end] (2) experien[blank_start]ced[blank_end] (3) this a couple o[blank_start]f[blank_end] (1) times, and it’s terrifying. I’m being pushed forw[blank_start]ard[blank_end] (3) without even touching the ground, and a[blank_start]s[blank_end] (1) the train doors close I end u[blank_start]p[blank_end] (1) squeezed between t[blank_start]wo[blank_end] (2) guys—one in a suit and o[blank_start]ne[blank_end] (2) in a tracksuit—and a girl eating a panini.- Ahat
