17、vironmentalist group Eco Peace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame."It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea: it's more like the whole area, said photographer Moritz Kustner, who visited the area in February to work on his series "The Dying Dead Sea”

18、 .The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.Mineral extr

19、action industries are another main reason the water levels are falling, experts say. The Dead Sea's minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics and other consumer products.And then, of course, there's the Middle East's hot, dry climate, which makes it difficul

20、t for the lake to replenish itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea's water levels stable. It includes building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump wa

21、ter into the Dead Sea.But for now, Kustner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty watersThe Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea in the language of Hebrew, is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world.

25、tion of sparkling intellect and failing body. Prof Hawking was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neuron施動(dòng)神經(jīng)元）diseases when he was 21.The nerves that controlled his muscles were failing and he became trapped in his body, but his mind was still free. He reached the height of his field while being a

26、wheelchair user.Professor Hawking certainly raised awareness of motor neurone diseases. One of his major contributions to disability in general was simply being visible-often at a time when disabled voices were missing from popular culture. He made small-screen appearances on The Simpsons, Star Trek

His laboratory was in the mind; his scientific equipment was mathematics.Prof Hawking was able to continue to pursue his career in a way that would have been much harder in other scientific disciplines and impossible in many other professions. It remains an open question how much he would ha

36、any of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.37 One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive
