The elderly residents（居民） in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.

The project was dreamed up by a local charity（慈善組織） to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people＇s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia， a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.

Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said： ＂I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.＂

＂I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they＇ve gone to bed.＂

＂It＇s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I＇m enjoying the creative activities， and it feels great to have done something useful.＂

There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East， and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.

Wendy Wilson， extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street， one of the first to embark on the project， said： ＂Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.＂

Lynn Lewis， director of Notting Hill Pathways， said： ＂We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.＂

Human speech contains more than 2，000 different sounds， from the common ＂m＂ and ＂a＂ to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others？ A ground-breaking， five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world＇s languages.

More than 30 years ago， the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals， such as ＂f＂ and ＂y＂， were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich， Switzerland， has found how and why this trend arose.

They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned （對齊）， making it hard to produce labiodentals， which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later， our jaws changed to an overbite structure （結構）， making it easier to produce such sounds. 精品小說推薦： 昔日落魄少年被逐出家族，福禍相依得神秘老者相助，從此人生路上一片青雲！ 我行我瀟灑，彰顯我性格！ 彆罵小爺拽，媳婦多了用車載！ 妹紙一聲好歐巴，轉手就是摸摸大！ “不要嘛！” 完整內容請點擊辣手仙醫
