　　Radioactivity is dangerous. It may cause skin burns; it may destroy good tissues (組織) and it may cause illness that could be passed on to our children and grandchildren, In case of exposure (暴露) it may even cause death.

　　In the early days of radioactivity, scientists did not realize these dangers, Marie and Pierre Curie, after having worked for a while with radioactive materials, noticed that their fingers were reddened and swollen (紅腫) and the skin was peeling off. Henry Becquered carried a small tube with radium in it in his waistcoat pocket, and was surprised to find a burn on his chest. Other early workers also reported burns and harm of different kinds.

　　The strange fact that it can harm without causing pain is the warning signal we expect from harmfulness. Pain makes up pull back our hands from a fire or a hot object, but a person carrying radioactive materials had no way of telling whether he is touching something too “hot” for safety. Besides, the “burns” or other harmfulness that radioactivity produces may not appear for weeks. A person may have been hurt without knowing it for some time .

　　It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

It can take. place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can very from respected grandparent to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability (可塑性), education quite often produced surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions (宗教). People receive education from. infancy (嬰幼兒) on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a life-long process (過程), a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's entire life.

　　Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned (指定的) seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working of government, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.

　　Anti-bird flu contingency(意外事故)measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics(后勤)measures will be discussed at the Legislative Council’s Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next month．Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong．

　　Speaking on a radio talk show this morning．Dr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering(屠宰)house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens．

　　He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was made．

　　Regarding avian flu vaccination(種痘)for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developed．He added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virus．
