2、es and libraries during these days of isolation, I have decided to make changes. After all, didnt someone once say, “Its an ill wind that blows nobody any good.”?I imagine slow reading to be like slow cooking: a variety of ingredients mixed into something one can truly enjoy. Slow reading means enjo

3、ying each sentence, absorbing all of those paragraphs of description that had probably been sweated over by the author and, more often than not, skipped over by readers like me.Most recently, I had selected two books Transcription and The Innocents. In order to truly enjoy these two novels, I limite

4、d my reading to two hours a day no more and no less. A funny thing happens when you take two hours out of the day every day for something you really, really enjoy.Rather than reading Transcription at my usual pace, I made myself completely involved in the life of 18-year-old Juliet. The Innocents is

5、 about the life of two orphans in an isolated bay in Newfoundland, which is said to be a richly imagined and fascinating story of hardship and survival. My slow reading was rewarded with a deeper understanding of the characters and rich descriptions of northern Newfoundland so real that I could almo

6、st feel the lichen (地衣)between my toes. I experienced a quiet sense of achievement that I had missed for years.So here I am, two books finished that took me a month to read. I have been entertained, enriched and transported in time and place like I never have before. Having discovered the joys of ta

7、king my time over a book now, I doubt I will ever again announce proudly, “It only took me a day or a couple of hours to finish!”21.

11、ple a day keeps the doctor away” may hold some truth. In fact, one study found that in 2012, almost half of the deaths in America caused by heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) were linked to poor diet.But knowing you should eat healthfully and actually doing it are two different things,

12、 and making the right choice isnt any easier when a pound of grapes costs more than twice as much as a pound of pasta (意大利面食). The Fresh Food Pharmacy aims to change that. A pilot program created by the Geisinger Health System, this pharmacy is like a grocery store stocked with fresh produce, lean m

13、eats, canned beans, and more. Even better, its all free.Under the program, patients with type 2 diabetes and low income are given a weeks worth of food for their entire household, and experts show them how to transform it into healthy meals. After the first year, all 180 participants had improved in

14、 key health measurements, in particular their hemogiobin A1c levels (HbA1c), the gold standard for tracking blood sugar control.In 2012, the estimated costs associated with diabetes in the United States were $245 billion. Geisinger will spend only about $1,000 annually on each food-pharmacy patient.

15、 David Feinberg, Geisingers president and CEO, calculates that “a decrease in HbA1c of one point saves us about $8,000.” With many of the patients dropping three points, the program could save $24,000 (or more) a year in health-care costs.Geisinger isnt the only organization experimenting with produ

16、ce prescriptions (药方). Nonprofits, food banks, hospitals, and even doctors offices around the country have begun programs that bring the “food is medicine” concept to life. Boston Medical Centers Preventive Food Pantry was the first such program in the country when it opened in 2001. Today it serves

20、ealthy DietCIn April of last year, I found my “spark bird”.Back then, COVID-19 was spreading around the U.S. I had spent an awful month shut inside a New York apartment with a high-energy 14-month-old. One Saturday morning, eager to stretch my legs, I went out to Brooklyns Green-Wood Cemetery. There

21、 were not many people there, so I thought it should be safe.As I walked around the graveyard, I noticed two sounds. The first was the murmur of five men standing in a half-circle, looking through their cameras like paparazzi (狗仔队). The second was some cheerful chatter that made me follow the mens ga

22、ze upward. And thats how I, too, became shocked by the monk parakeets of Green-Wood Cemetery. A few light-green birds poked their heads out of holes in their nest. Others flew to and from nearby trees freely. Watching them filled me with a peace I hadnt felt in weeks.That evening, I found myself res

23、earching parakeets, the bird that set me on the path to birding. Birding is a great way to receive the mental benefits of observing nature. It provides a thrill of discovery that was painfully rare when our lives were disturbed by COVID-19. And theres such a low barrier to entry you dont even need t

24、o leave home to get started. So I found myself one of the birders in the Brooklyn Bird Club.The feeling I got from my experience made me think of something one birder said about the mindfulness the hobby can provide for everyone. “Im always a firm believer of being in the present moment, and birding

25、 is being very in tune: listening to the trees, the wind, the bird calls, and not thinking about anything else.” Birds have, among many other things, re-taught me how to look and listen.28.

46、rthday in December 2020. He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included music composer Walter and Dr. Ahmed, the creator of an innovative Al technology for the art market. Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the A

47、l software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it to just Beethovens work. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethovens plans for the 10th Symphony. The team then began the slow and careful task

48、of feeding the Al software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethovens original composition, Ahmeds team sent Walter hundreds of Al-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what t

A Controversial Way Successfully Interprets Beethovens MusicDOn August 8, 2021, the United Nations5 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its first assessment of climate science since 2013. The news was not good. The report

54、stated that this past decade was the hottest in 125, 000 years and that the atmospheric carbon levels are the highest in at least 2 million years. Glaciers are melting faster than any time in over 2, 000 years, and ocean levels are rising at twice the rate since 2006. At the current pace, the resear

55、chers expect global temperatures to rise by at least 1.5, compared to pre-industrial levels, within the next 20 years. The temperature increases will result in significant changes to the planets water cycle. Areas that currently receive a lot of rain will get significantly more, while dry regions wi

In addition to participating in physical activity, students in P.E. learn the fundamentals of a healthful lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable adults.Though

73、 the lack of attention on P.E. is often justified as an opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, studies show that physical activity contributes to improved academic performance. Regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels. A statewide polic

74、y in North Carolina requires that children from kindergarten to eighth grade participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.Activities in P.E. help children develop healthful social interactions. From a young age, children learn cooperation through group activities and form a positive sense

75、 of identity as part of a team. Such group activities are continually important as children grow older. The International Platform on Sport and Development states that sport has been used as a practical tool to engage young people in their communities through volunteering, resulting in higher levels

80、g the relationships they have with their employers.To keep workers happy and on the job, more companies are turning to “stay interviews, one-on-one meetings with top performers to give those key people the chance to talk about their current jobs.“This has become an extremely popular topic to try and

81、 help retain employees as much as possible, said Robyn Hopper, a human resources knowledge adviser for the Society for Human Resource Management. Managers who conduct stay interviews are coached to ask workers open-ended questions about what they like most about their jobs, what they dislike and und

82、er what events or circumstances they might leave.Scott Bonneau, the vice president of global talent attraction at I, said: Employers, particularly in certain sectors, are seeing people leave at a faster rate. I think stay interviews can be quite effective. It promotes and fosters trust and open comm

83、unication.Sometimes workers switch jobs in pursuit of higher salaries. Other departures are spurred by chances to have more flexible hours, remote work or professional development opportunities. While experts say stay interviews can be a valuable tool to retain top employees, there is one big caveat

84、: Bosses have to actually follow through on the feedback from workers.“At the end of the day, you can promise the best things in the world, but if you cant execute and deliver, people will tend to look elsewhere, said Thomas Wu, who recently took a job as the director of finance at an NFT startup.Ca

85、rvajal said small businesses, which struggle to compete with huge companies in salaries and benefits, have more at stake and tend to use processes like stay interviews more frequently.

126、ive to the rainforests of southeast Asia. What surprised scientists who observed the eight-legged furry spider was that its color did not change at all even when viewed from different angles. A team of scientists, led by Bill Hsiung from the University of Akron in Ohio, have been studying tarantulas

127、 for some time. Blue is a rare color in the animal kingdom, so the researchers set out to find the exact nature of this blue.

128、eflect only one particular wavelength of light - blue. This kind of natural color is referred to as the structural color.Usually, when colors are viewed from different angles, they appear different because of how light is reflected. This is because of a phenomenon known as iridescence (彩虹色). However

129、, the blue color produced by tarantulas appears the same from all angles. Scientists find that it is the tiny crystal structures on the tarantulas body arranged in a flower-like shape that reduce iridescence.Scientists have known about structural colors for a while, but they have not seen them used

130、for dye. With a clearer understanding of how structural colors work, scientists can now create a pigment (色素) similar to the tarantula blue to dye textiles and other products.

136、esigned to deal with dead satellites already in orbit, but rather future satellites that would be launched with docking plates on them.Space junk has been a growing problem for years. According to a recent report by NASA, at least 26,000 of the millions of pieces of space junk are the size of a soft

137、ball. Orbiting along at 17,500mph, they could destroy a satellite. And the most common space junk, more than 100 milion pieces, is the size of a grain of salt and could make holes in a spacesuit, amplifying risk to spacecraft and crew. The development of other cleanup technologies has been underway

138、for years. In 2016 , Japans space agency sent a 700 -meter chain into space to try to slow down and redirect space junk.
