This special structure, the first of its kind in the world, is situated in the province of Hunan. Images have shown online showing the visitors gripped with fear and frozen in awe while standing on the see-through walkway. One female tourist is seen holding the handrail tightly and had to be dragged along by her friend. The bridge had previously been a wooden one that linked two peaks of Stone Buddha Mountain in Shiniuzhai Geopark but is now a 984 foot long glass walkway.  Part of the bridge had already been replaced with glass in 2014, attracting groups of fearless tourists. However, 11 engineers have been working on the bridge over the last few months to replace all the wooden parts with glass, transforming the bridge into the world’s first glass-bottomed suspension bridge. According to reports, several visitors were so terrified that they could barely move. Some were seen holding on to each other as well as to the railings as they made the crossing. Many people were filled with fear as they tried not to look down to the steep drop below. The bridge was said to move from side to side slightly when people walked across it, making people feel even more frightened. However, as part of the scenic site, it also offered incredible views over the geopark and the landscape below. The amazing construction has already been named “hero bridge” because of the amount of courage required to cross it. Those worried about the safety of the bridge can rest easy. The glass forming the footpath are said to be 25 times stronger than regular window glass. They’re also created to stay in shape and withstand impact although special footwear has been issued to visitors. 1.

Do you live next to a busy road, train track or even under a flight path? If so, it could have an effect on the size on your waistline. A new study has shown facts about the effects of noise pollution on obesity.Researchers believe that main roads, which often have increased noise pollution from traffic, could have an effect on peoples' sleeping patterns. Lack of sleep causes reduced energy levels, which can then lead to a more sedentary lifestyle and make people less willing to exercise.The research, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), found those who live under a flight path or near an airport were most likely to suffer from weight problems as a result of noise pollution. The study also found that for every five-decibel increase above the standard traffic noise level, the average person gains an extra 0.2cm on their waist measurement.Andrei Pyko, lead author of the study at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet, said: "Increasing evidence points to traffic noise as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction and stroke. Recent findings suggest that traffic noise may also affect the metabolic system, for example, inducing central obesity and type 2 diabetes."According to the study of 5,075 men and women in Sweden, central obesity is associated with exposure to railway and aircraft noise. Participants in areas with lower noise levels were more likely to have lived 10 years or more at the same address. Those exposed to higher noise levels were more likely to be single and report current smoking, psychological distress and noise annoyance.Dr Pyko said: "Sleep disturbances may affect immune functions, influence the central control of appetite and energy expenditure as well as increase circulating levels of the stress."1.

If people adopt “a more sedentary lifestyle”, they will ______.A  .  eat more and more foodB  . 。
