Escalator behaviour trial 伦敦地铁扶梯试行“只站不走”
A new study has concluded that antibiotics are prescribed inappropriately in nearly a third of cases in the United States. It's estimated 47 million unnecessary prescriptions are given out every year – most are for viral illnesses that don't even respond to antibiotics.
一项新研究作出的结论说,在美国,有近三分之一的情况下抗生素被不合理地开给病人使用。据估算,每年有四千七百万不必要的抗生素处方被开出,其中绝大多数都是为了使用抗生素治愈病毒性疾病,而病毒性疾病本身对抗生素并不会有任何反映。
Now if you've ever visited London you might have learnt the long-standing tradition of escalator etiquette where if you want to stand you stay on the right and if you want to walk up you walk on the left. Well, an experiment by Transport for London has found that congestion is eased when commuters are encouraged to stand on both sides. The trial is being extended for six months.
