Taking Showers" Can Make You III" Showering may be bad for your health, say US scientists, who have shown that dirty shower heads can deliver a face full of harmful bacteria. Tests revealed nearly a third of devices harbour significant levels of Mycobacterium avium, a bug that causes lung disease. Levels of M. avium were 100 times higher in shower head than those found in typical household water supplies. M. avium forms a biofilm that clings to the inside of the shower head, repofls the National Academy of Science. In the Proceedings journal, the study authors say their findings might explain why there have been more cases of these lung infections in recent years, linked with people tending to take more showers and fewer baths. When the researchers swabbed and tested 50 shower heads from nine cities in seven different states in the US, including New York City and Denver, they found 30% of the devices posed a potential risk. Lead researcher Professor Norman Pace, said:" If you are getting a face full of water when you first turn your shower on, that means you are probably getting a particularly high load of Mycobacterium avium, which may not be too healthy. " While it is rarely a problem for most healthy people, those with weakened immune systems, like the elderly, pregnant women or those who are fighting off other diseases, can be susceptible to infection. Water spurting from shower heads can distribute bacteria - filled droplets that suspend them selves in the air and can easily be inhaled into the deepest parts of the lungs, say the scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since plastic shower heads appear to "load up" with more bacteria- rich biofilms, metal shower heads may be a good alternative, said Professor Pace. Showers have also been identified as a route for spreading other infectious diseases, including a type of pneumonia called Legionnaires’ disease and chest infections with a bacterium called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Hot tubs and spa pools carry a similar infection risk, according to the Health Protection Agency. According to the first passage ,what is NOT right
Group Exercise" Boosts Happiness" Exercising together appears to increase the level of the feel - good endorphin hormones naturally released during physical exertion, a study suggests. A team from Oxford University carried out tests on 12 rowers after a vigorous workout in a virtual boat. Those who trained alone withstood less pain—a key measure of endorphins—than those who exercised together. Row your boat It has long been known that phyrsical exertion releases endorphins and that these are responsible for the sometimes euphoric sensations experienced after exercising. They have a protective effect against pain. But researchers from Oxford University’s Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology found this response was beightened by the synergistic effect of rowing together. After 45 minutes of either rowing separately or in a team of six, the researchers measured their pain threshold by how long they could tolerate an inflated blood pressure cuff on the arm. Exercise increased both groups’ ability to tolerate pain, but the difference was significantly more pronounced among the team rowers. This, they said, was a measure of an increased endorphin release. As well as potentially improving performance in sport, the researchers speculated that this endorphin release may be the mechanism that underpins the sense of communal belonging that emerges from activities such as religious rituals, dancing or laughing. "The results suggest that endorphin release is significantly greater in group than in individual training even when power output, or physical exertion, remains constant," said lead author Emma Cohen, "The exact features of group activity that generate this effect are unknown, but this study contributes to a growing body of evidence suggesting that synchronised, coordinated physical activity may be responsible. " Carole Seheuh, a sport and exercise psychologist from the British Psychological Society, said "The findings were entirely credible. Rowing is a sport which requires real team work and endorphins could well foster that process. But more generally we know from experience that exercising in groups is good for people, it’s motivational, it’s social. Groups sessions really do work. \ How did the research to find out the change of pain tolerance ability
Tech Addiction" Harms Learning" The study of 267 pupils aged 11 to 18 -Techno Addicts: Young Person Addiction to Technology-was carried out by researchers at Cranfield School of Management. Northampton Business School and academic consultancy AJM Associates. Researchers used a written questionnaire to examine the nature and the volume of mobile phone calls and text messaging as well as computer use including e - mail, instant messaging and accessing social networking sites. They found 62% first used or owned a computer before the age of eight, 80% first used the internet between the ages of five and 10,58% first used a mobile Phone between the ages of eight and 10 and 58% have had access to a social networking sites between the ages of eleven and 13. Over 63% felt addicted to the internet. Over 30% reported spending between one or two hours a day using the internet and 26% said they spent up to six or more hours a day. On average, pupils said they spent between one and two hours on social networking sites each day. Over one in five(20.2% )said they left the phone on in lessons—which is usually forbidden by schools. Over a third (39%) admitted that text shortcuts damaged the quality of their written English, particularly when it came to spelling. And 84% openly admitted copying chunks of information from the internet into their homework or projects on a number of occasions. Poor attention levels Dr Nada Kakabadse from Northampton Business School said modern technology, such as mobile phones and handheld computer games, was having an impact on pupils’ attention levels. "They are hiding these things under the desks so their concentration cannot be equally divided, they ore not focusing on what’s going on in class." Dr Kakabadse said pupils were also getting into a bad habit of plagiarism. "For their homework, instead of reading the book, they go on the internet and lift it. " She also raised concerns about the text - messaging abbreviations to which young people had grown accustomed. "They have invented a new language. This kind of abbreviation they unconsciously bring into their assignments. " "So they will have difficulty communicating with others and making themselves understood. Of course, language should evolve but maybe not so quickly. \ Which is NOT fight according to the passage
