Trang 4brought under control and life has returned to some semblance of normality But the pandemic has left somecracks in family relationships.
Most notably the high-pressure environment of confinement, combined with the financial stress brought
about by a Covid-19 burdened economy, has led to a rise in marital conflict This is most evident in a spike indivorce rates In the city of Xi'an in northwest China's Shanxi province, marriage registration offices saw anunprecedented number of divorce requests when they re-opened in March And it would seem that moreextreme cases, these conflicts arising during lockdown have led to a surge in cases of domestic violence InHubei province, the heart of the initial outbreak, reported cases of domestic violence increased threefoldsince the pandemic started
In Beijing, the women's rights NGO Equality reported a surge in calls to its helpline on issues of domestic
violence, after lockdown measures were implemented throughout the country in early February In Hong
Kong, Harmony House, a domestic violence prevention centre and shelter, the number of admissions to thecentre rose from 10 in January to 40 in April Although Hong Kong hasn't gone into full lockdown, pandemicstress, the pressures of working from home, school closures, social isolation have caused a rise in abusivebehaviours in families
Another challenge that families are facing is the increased burden of care as a result of quarantine measuresand home-schooling situations Often, women end up shouldering a greater burden, given typically unequaldivisions in household labour, according to Choi Women spend 2.5 times more time on unpaid care workthan men in China, and this will have long-term implications on women's ability to participate in theworkforce "Women workers might be disproportionately affected by Covid-19 related layoffs," said Choi,
both because women have to stay at home and take care of their families, but also because both in China and
Hong Kong, women are more likely to be employed in the retail sector, including restaurants, hotels andairlines, which have been hit heaviest by the pandemic

about for a long time Some scientists say that life
development on Earth was far too unlikely for it to
have happened anywhere else Things had to be
perfect for us to make it on this planet Other
scientists say that space is too big Stars and other
planets are far too numerous for there to be no
other life in the universe.
For many years, there have been reports of visitors
from other planets People all around the world
have claimed to see alien spaceships or even aliens
themselves There have been glimpses of these
so-Ý tưởng về sự sống ngoài vũ trụ đã được nói đến rất lâu Một số nhà khoa học nói rằng việc phát triển sự sống trên Trái Đất khó có thể xảy ra ở bất kỳ nơi nào khác Mọi thứ đều quá hoàn hảo để chúng ta tồn tại trên hành tinh này Các nhà khoa học khác nói rằng
vũ trụ quá to lớn Các vì sao và các hành tinh khác quá vô vàn ngoài kia nên không thể nào không có sự sống khác ngoài vũ trụ.
Trong nhiều năm, đã có các báo cáo về những vị khách đến từ các hành tinh khác Những người trên khắp thế giới đã khẳng định đã tận mắt nhìn thấy tàu không gian của người ngoài hành tinh hoặc thậm chí

through the air and they have even been captured

Army found an alien spaceship crashed in the

cả người ngoài hành tinh Đã có người thoáng thấy những cái được gọi là UFO này (vật thể bay không xác định) bay trong không trung và chúng thậm chí còn được ghi lại qua video Một số người Mỹ tin rằng Quân đội Hoa Kỳ đã tìm thấy một con tàu ngoài hành tinh rơi trên sa mạc và sau đó nói dối với cánh báo chí về điều đó Mặc dù những cảnh tượng này có thể đúng, các nhà khoa học không tìm được bằng chứng rõ ràng nào cho rằng người ngoài hành tinh
có tồn tại.
Ở vùng quê, nếu bạn đi ra ngoài vào một đêm tối quang đãng và nhìn lên trời, bạn có thể thấy hàng nghìn ngôi sao Những ngôi sao này chiếm một phần rất nhỏ trong vũ trụ của chúng ta Có nhiều vì sao, hành tinh, và thiên hà hơn là những gì chúng ta có thể đếm Ngay cả những nhà khoa học xuất chúng nhất cũng hầu như không thể xác định vũ trụ to lớn
ra sao Số lượng các ngôi sao và hành tinh có thể có ngoài kia lớn hơn khả năng đếm của chúng ta Nếu chúng ta thật sự ở trên hành tinh duy nhất tồn tại sự sống, thì chúng ta là những cá thể rất đặc biệt trong một vũ trụ đầy những điều tuyệt vời.
