Churchill covers up UFO encounter 丘吉尔掩盖UFO事件

Going grey, darkest fear for men 男人最怕头发变白
A survey by polling firm Mintel reveals that more than half of the 2,000 polled British men about their appearance said going grey was their worst fear, the Daily Mail reported. Hair loss or thinning came second, with unwanted hair in the nose and ears in third place. Being overweight and having yellow teeth were the next biggest concerns. "Although grey hair is traditionally seen as a mark of distinction in men, the reality is many men are unhappy with their newfound gravitas," said a spokesman for Mintel. 据英国《每日邮报》报道,敏特市场调查公司开展的一项有2000名英国男士参加的调查显示,一半以上的男性最担心头发变白。脱发或头发稀少是第二个最普遍担心的问题,排第三的是鼻子和耳朵里长毛发,紧随其后的是肥胖和牙齿变黄。敏特的一位发言人说:“尽管白发一直被认为是区分男性年龄的标志,但事实上很多男性对标志着庄重的白发并不感到高兴。”
