But after a few days I was OK. And if youre infected by the novel coronavirus, the government covers your m

12、edical expenses.

13、eful to the people who helped us, because without them, its hard to say how we could have survived.”Worried about his daughters safety, the family had her back to the university in Shanghai before the closure. She was quarantined in Shanghai on the first day of the lunar New Year and was recently co

14、nfirmed to be well enough to end the quarantine. The daughter left her father a letter in which she read between the lines her guilt not being able to accompany him and her love for him.“I cant look after you every time you are in hospital.

A study suggests that some people can overcome them, said Jiawei Zhang, a psychology graduate at the University of California. But this isnt the case for everyone, he said.The research

20、ers wondered why some people report feeling improvement from regrets but others dont. Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?In the study, the researchers focused on selfcompassion(自我同情) as a potential factor in why some people have an easier time leaving their regrets behind them.400 peop

21、le attended an experiment. First, they were asked to write about their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadnt done; the other half wrote something they didnt do but wish they had. Then, the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: self compassion, selfes

22、teem and a control group. The selfesteem group was asked to respond by “talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities”The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret. Then, they were asked about their feelings of

23、forgiveness, acceptance and personal improvement following the exercise.They found that the selfcompassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance, forgiveness and personal improvement, compared with the control group and the selfesteem group. In other words, focusing on your best qualities is

24、 not what helps you feel better about a regret. Rather, being compassionate toward yourself is what may make a difference, the researchers found.Its possible that people who practice selfcompassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong, so they can make a better choice in the fu

25、ture, Zhang told Live Science. Selfcompassion pushes people to accept their regret instead of running away from it.The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began.

29、od delivery company announced plans to use automated vehicles to transport meals. Europes biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month. “Nobody has ever done deliveries with landbased robo

30、ts，” said Allan Martinson, the chief operating officer of Starship.The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate(确定方向). Instead of a person arriving at their door, customers could find themselves receiving a notification on

31、their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier. “Put the code in, the robot opens up, and theres your food，” said David Buttress, chief manager of Just Eat.The robot, which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs 1 to transpor

32、t within 3 miles, compared with the 3 to 6 it costs for a human courier. To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5，000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passersby. They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world, including London and Tallinn, Estonia.An

33、initial worry was how the public would react to robots.

40、er. One splendid scene alone took two months to complete.Yang made up his mind to produce an animated film on the theme of breaking the traditional styles and changing fate to the opposite.

41、red with the original novel and past animated versions, the relationships between the characters are given modern meaning. In Yangs film he is fighting prejudice: Nezha is hated and feared.
