Street Food and Taco Tour in Puerto Vallarta.

Georgy was now a schoolboy, though it had given Amelia great pain to release him from

her care, to mix with rough boys and to be scolded by stern schoolteachers. It was a little

local school, and Georgy loved it, doing well at all his lessons and coming home in the

evenings with boastful stories of this and that-all of which were believed by his fond mother.

Miss Dobbin followed Georgy’s progress with interest, and was keen to be helpful, well

aware how poor the Sedleys were.

“Do let Georgy spend the day with me next Saturday,” she said to Amelia one day. “Miss

Osborne is coming to visit, and I know she’d love to see her brother’s son. And who knows,

perhaps the boy’s grandfather will do something for him one day.”

…

The meeting took place, and Georgy charmed his aunt, as he did all the women in his life.

Miss Osborne, at the dinner table with her father that night, could not hide her emotion.

“What’s the matter?” old Mr. Osborne growled at last.

Georgy’s aunt burst into tears. “Oh sir,” she said. “I’ve seen little George. He’s such a

beautiful boy-and so like his father!”

试卷第4页，共13页

The old man did not say a word, but his hands trembled, and he sat staring at the table

for a long time.

Soon Georgy told his mother about another visitor at the house on a day he spent with

Miss Dobbin.

“An old gentleman came today,” the boy said. “He watched when I had my riding lesson

with Miss Dobbin’s coachman. He had very thick eyebrows, and he stared and stared at me.”

Then Amelia knew that the boy had seen his grandfather, and she waited fearfully to see

what would happen next.

It was a visit from a lawyer, with a letter from Mr. Osborne, read aloud in the lawyer’s

dry voice.

“Mr. Osborne offers to take his grandson George, who will then inherit the fortune which

would have gone to his father. He will also give Mrs. Amelia Osborne a regular allowance, to

enable her and her family to live in comfort. If she marries again, as is said to be likely, this

allowance will still continue. In return, the boy will live with Mr. Osborne, who will permit

him to visit his mother occasionally in her own home.”

Amelia was rarely angry, but today she stood up, tore this letter into a hundred pieces,

and threw them on the floor.

“Marry again! Take money - to part from my child! Who dares to insult me in this way?

Tell Mr. Osborne it is a cowardly letter. I will not answer it. Good day, sir!”

Teacher burnout (

British Columbia study. The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between

teacher burnout and students’ cortisol levels (

皮质醇水平

), which are a biological indicator

of stress.

Researchers collected saliva samples from over 400 elementary school children and

tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more

burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students’ cortisol levels were elevated. Higher

cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well

as mental health problems.

“This suggests that stress spreading might be taking place in the classroom among

students and their teachers,” said Eva Oberle, the study’s lead author. Indeed, the relationship

between student stress and teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question. It is unknown what

came first - elevated cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student

and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom.

Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for

teachers, which may impact teachers’ ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly

managed classroom can contribute to students’ needs not being met and increasing stress.

This could be reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.

Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to

teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioral problems, or special needs. In this situation,

teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout.

“Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as

classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut,” said Oberle.

“It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most

stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in

order to battle burnout and relieve stress in the classroom,” said UBC education professor

Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study’s co-author and director of HELP. “If we do not support

teachers, we risk the collateral damage of students.”

Students Stress and Teacher Burnout: A chicken and egg question.

Children between 4 months and 2 years old who have had covid-19 are more likely to

have antibodies that attack cells that make insulin (

胰岛素

), a feature of type 1 diabetes.

Insulin, a hormone that regulates the body’s blood sugar levels, is made in the pancreas

(

胰腺

) by cell clusters known as islets of Langerhans. In some cases, the body can develop an

autoimmune response to these islets and produce auto-antibodies against them. Too many of

these over time will kill enough islets to trigger type 1 diabetes, where the body can’t produce

its own insulin.

“The presence of these auto-antibodies more or less means that there’s a 100 per cent

path to [type 1 diabetes]” says Anette-Gabriele Ziegler at the Technical University of Munich

in Germany.

One of the risk factors for type 1 diabetes is thought to be some viral infections,

including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid-19. A rise in diabetes cases linked to

covid-19 has been reported, but the mechanism behind it isn’t known.

To investigate, Ziegler and her colleagues monitored 885 children between the ages of 4

months and 2 years old, who were all identified as having at least a small risk of developing

islet auto-antibodies. Of the children, 170 had SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, suggesting they had

previously had covid-19.

The children who had these antibodies were twice as likely to develop islet

auto-antibodies as those who hadn’t been infected. Those who caught covid-19 before they
