6.Last month,James Connolly,a junior at the University of Massachusetts,stood in front of a local police station wearing a loose garment as punishment.His crime?He was charged with underage drinking,illegal possession of alcohol and very big noise while holding a party.
    This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years,mostly decided by local judges for less-serious crimes such as drunk driving and theft.They believe shame is the best small crime punishment.For example,in Tennessee,Judge James McKenzie has made a shoplifter stand outside Wal-Mart with signs that read,"I'm a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie."
    Some experts think alternative punishments like community service and fines don't convey moral condemnation (谴责) of the criminal because they aren't shameful enough.Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet Letter punishments.The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel,The Scarlet Letter.In this novel,a woman is forced to wear a scarlet ( red)"A"on her clothes as punishment for her adultery.
   Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values.Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes.Others aren't so sure."There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishment are successful in preventing people from committing special crimes.And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain reputation in society.So a shaming punishment may force the offender into more crime to support himself."

Tips to fight summer weight gain 
When we think of summer,most of us think of outdoor fun.So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer---not gain it.In reality,though,summer isn‘t all beach volleyball and water sports.Lots of summer activities can work against our efforts to stay at a healthy weight.The good news is that it‘s easy to avoid problems if we know what to look out for.Here are 5 ways to beat summer weight gain:
(61)C When we don‘t have a plan,it‘s easy to spend summer moving from couch to computer,with regular stops at the fridge.Avoid this by setting a specific aim,like volunteering,mastering a new skill,or working at a job.Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!
(62)F With school out,we lose our daily routines.If you don‘t have a specific job or activity to get up for,it‘s easy to sleep late,watch too much TV,and snack more than usual.Make sure your summer days have some structure-like getting up at the same time each day and eating meals at set times.Plan activities for specific times,like exercising before breakfast,for example.If you have time on your hands,offer to make dinner a couple of nights a week so your family can enjoy a sit-down meal together.
(63)A When we‘re bored,it‘s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy.In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar,filling your days with stuff to do can give you a sense of accomplishment.That‘s especially true if a dream summer job or planned activity fell through.Limit your screen time-including TV,computer,and video games-to no more than 2 hours a day.
(64)B Don‘t let hot summer days prevent you from carrying out exercise plans.Move your workout indoors.If a gym isn‘t your scene,try bowling or an indoor climbing wall.If you love being outdoors,try joining a local pool or move a regular run or soccer game to early morning or evening.
(65)ESummer means picnics and barbecues-activities that revolve around an unlimited spread of food.Pace yourself.Don‘t overload your plate.Avoid going back for seconds and thirds.Choose seasonal,healthy foods like fresh fruit instead of high-sugar,high-fat desserts.Make catching up with family and friends your focus,not the food.Another good tip for summer eating is to limit frozen treats like ice cream to no more than once a week.
8.Have you heard of the"Doomsday(世界末日)clock"?
While the name sounds particular enough to draw our attention,there is no way to actually predict doomsday.The clock is a visual way of representing the dangers our world faces and the urgency to act-with midnight symbolizing doomsday.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists,the organization that maintains(维护)the clock,decided to keep the clock at 3minutes to midni-the same as last year.Despite the Iran nuclear deal that weakened the threat(威胁)of nuclear war,the organization continues to worry about the lack of progress on other global issues of concern.
The clock was created nearly 70years ago by a group of scientists who had worked on the Manhattan project-that created the world's first atomic bomb.The bombs were dropped on two Japanese cities.Though it brought an end to one of the worst wars in human history,the bombs also exposed the world to the dangers of nuclear technology.
One of the nuclear physicists on the Manhattan project was married to an artist named Martyl Kangsdorf.It was Martyl's idea to create a clock and set the hand to seven minutes to midnight when it first created.
Since then,the clock has been a powerful way to show humanity how close the world is to catastrophe due to human action.To maintain this clock,every year twenty members of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists gather together and assess the biggest threats to humanity.When scientists looked back at the events of 2015.two significant threats continued to exist-climate change and investment in nuclear weapons by various nations around the world.
According to the scientists,we may be able to avoid disaster if humanity reduces spending on nuclear weapons,sharply reduces greenhouse gases,deals with commercial nuclear waste,and makes agreements to prevent the misuse of new technologies.
