Since then laws have been passed to protect the air, water, land, and animals. The vehicles (汽車) such as cars and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don't cause too much pollution. Thanks to it, cars today give out about half as many bad chemicals as they did in the past.

The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the raft was ready. Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The Lion stood at one end and nearly sank (下沉)it because he was so big and heavy.

This behavior is called "bedtime procrastination (拖延癥) , and results from lack of (缺乏) self-control and our body clock. Reported Huffpost.

According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands (荷蘭)in 2014, bedtime procrastination is a common problem. In their study, 53 percent of the2, 400participants (參與者)said they didn't follow their sleep schedule (日程) , delaying (延遲) it at last twice a week.

It's found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn't stop doing other trivial (瑣碎的) things, which were keeping them up in he first place.

"People who generally have trouble fighting against temptations (誘惑) and sticking to their intentions (意圖) are also more likely to delay going to bed, "Floor Kroese, a psychologist at Utrecht University, further explained to HuffPost.

Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame (責(zé)備) . Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.

In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, psychologists at Um University in Germany studied the sleep patterns (模式)of 108 people in February. It was found that those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning.

And more surprisingly, night owls (夜貓子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It's their special body cock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime, reported Popular Science.

On September 12, the 2019 winners of the Ig Nobel Prize were announced. Here are three of them.

Medicine Prize: Pizza

It's one of the world's most popular foods. but what if we told you that a pizza can protect you against illness and death? According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease---if your pizza is filled with fruits and veggies.

Economics Prize: Dirty Money

As one of the most frequently passed items on the planet, paper money is known to pick up all kinks of bacteria (細(xì)菌). Which country's money is the dirtiest? To find the answer, an international team of scientist compared seven countries' paper money. They found that the notes including more polymer (聚合物) specifically the Romanian Leu carry more drug-resistant pathogens (病原體). Perhaps this will make cashless payments popular.

Biology Prize: Cockroach(蟑螂)

Cockroaches are well known for their survival abilities, but few people know they can sense magnetic (磁性的) fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (特性) than live ones. That's because magnetic properties drop when the temperature gets higher.

So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors.
