I had a great time producing a short film with my other crew members, myself in the scene, the light and shadow seen through the camera lens, and the warmth of intimate friendship.

It was through a short film festival at our school that I had the chance to make a short film. Our film crew decided to develop a simple story focusing on friendship, growth and hospice care(临终关怀). The story was set around Christmas Eve where two kids are assigned to accompany a terminally(晚期地)ill kid during her last few days. There were conflicts and tears, but finally, the kids became close friends on Christmas Day, which was just before the ill kid passed away. We expected it to be a warm story mingled with a little sorrow and planned to name it Merry Christmas.

In producing our short film, things weren't so easy at first. We were able to use a crew member's house for shooting but it was far from the city. We experienced technical problems, among others.

It was the middle of winter, and emotional collapses of our actors were wearing our patience thin. Pale light the snow and the nervous excitement of telling ghost stories accompanied our night scene shooting.

As the cameraman, I adjusted the camera to produce the best composition of the image, specially designed with the director to achieve the desired effect. I held the camera in one hand and the spotlight in the other till midnight to finish our night scene.

As we decorated the tiny Christmas tree and looked at each other's drowsy faces in the warm light, we couldn't help wolfing down the dessert the host family offered before making the other cakes and fruits for our props(道具). We made jokes about the look of the giant spotlight which was like a huge shiny umbrella. We somehow felt closer to the characters in the film, experiencing what they experience leisurely chatting about films and songs in the serenity of night and forming a special connection with each other.

Through this experience, I realized that making short films is not only about creating art, but also about creating shared stories and bonds that last a lifetime.

Keep calm. Dentists can smell when a patient is anxious and it makes them more prone to errors. according to a study of dental students.

"The finding is the first real-world evidence that chemical signals in our body odour (气味)can betray our emotions and influence the behaviour of those around us." says Valentina Parma at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy.

Many lab experiments have found that the odours of people who are feeling emotions -particularly negative ones like disgust and fear-can influence our perception of them. This happens even though we can rarely tell why or describe what we are smelling

To find n more realistic Netting for investigating thin effect, Parma's team turned to dentistry, since the people dentists treat are often anxious. The researchers asked 24 volunteers to each donate T-shirt they had worn during a exam, and another worn at a calm lecture. The team dipped the T-shirts in a chemical that masks body odour, so that no one could smell it. A separate group of 24 dental students said they couldn't detect any difference between the two sets of shirts. Next, examiners graded the dental students as they carried out treatments on mannequins(人形模特) dressed in the donated T-shirts. The students scored significantly worse when the mannequins were wearing T-shirts from stressful contexts. Mistakes included being more likely to damage teeth next to the ones they were working on. Parma thinks the scent of anxiety could be triggering the same emotion in those who subconsciously smell it. "It's quite fascinating." says Pamela Dalton at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. "It helps us understand how we can communicate without language. "

Parma does not know whether qualified dentists are as vulnerable to signals in body odours as students, and plans to investigate this in future. Even if the effect is confirmed in more experienced dentists, there is probably little a patient can do to mask their body's chemical signals. Therefore, Parma hopes that training dentists and medical professionals to be aware of the body odour effect and to manage their anxiety might improve patient care.

Scientists based in Japan's Osakn University have found a way to3 D printed wagyu(和牛)beef in a lab--a step they believe will one day help make widely available and sustainably-produced cuts of cultured meat that closely resemble original products.

Using stem cells that they took from wagyu cows, the scientists set out to create a structure with the characteristic marbling seen in wagyu beef that sets it apart from other cuts of beef. By isolating beef cells, the scientists organized the muscles, blood vessels, and fat. The researchers then shaped these tissues into the form of a steak by using a technique called 3D bioprinting, where cell structures can be layered(分层)to resemble real tissues in living things.

Wagyu beef is known to be extremely expensive, with wagyu selling for up to $200 per pound and adult cows selling for more than S30, 000. In 2019, Japan's wagyu exports reached a record high of $268. 8 million in profits, up 20% from 2018. This might be the first cut of wagyu beef ever to be 3D-printed. The researchers believe that proving that a wagyu beef can be accurately 3D-printed could be a big step toward a sustainable future where cultured meat can be created that closely resembles existing products.

3D printed wagyu beef originates from real meat and is also different from plant-based options. "By improving this technology, it will be possible to not only reproduce complex meat structures, such as the beautiful marbling of wagyu beef but to also make small adjustments to the fat and muscle components, " Michiya Matsusaki, one of the project's researchers, said in a statement. Michiya Matsusaki added that with these adjustments, customers might one day be able to order a cultured cut of meat with the amount of fat they desire, tailor-made to their tastes and health concerns.

However, it might be a while before one can sink their teeth into a cut of bioprinted beef. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)have not created a regulatory framework for these products yet, according to The Washington Post.

As many of us endure the long cold winter, we are tempted to tuck(大吃)into some filling and fattening foods. And more often it's because we need something to cheer us up. And, for a short while at least, it makes us feel better--which is why we call it "comfort food".

It depends on your preference and the association you have with particular in tastes, textures and smells. But probably the most universally popular edible comforter is the biscuit. On top of that, it gives us that all-important sugary pick-me-up.

Moving on from the sweet and sugary snacks, famous chef and food writer Mary Berry knows about the kind of meals that warm us up and give us comfort in winter. She said "I think it becomes natural to think about comfort food as soon as the weather chills and the nights become darker . "

The other thing about comforting dishes like mac and cheese, noodles or pizza is they don't require cooking skills in the kitchen: they are easy to make so we can get our fix of feel-good food quickly. Even though we know the ingredients are high in carbohydrates, sugar or salt, we continue to pig out. We don't realize that what's happening is our minds are finding a way to trigger a really positive emotion and they're making us cat that food to do so.

Maybe we should take comfort from the fact the eating certain food just makes us feel happy. But, for some people, eating any kind of food brings joy, warmth, happiness and comfort.

A. Too much such food is harmful to health.

B. We find different kinds of feel-good foods to lift our spirits.

C. However, we often feel so good that we eat too much.

D. Soup and warming foods are suggested as feel-good winter treats.

E. This snack often brings back happy memories of childhood and family.

F. The type of food that makes us feel good varies from person to person.

G. This is sometimes because it helps us to keep warm and to give us energy.

Suddenly his zazen(打坐)was 3by the demanding voice of samurai warrior(武士). "Old man! Teach me about heaven and hell!"

At first, 4 he had not heard, there was no detectable 5from the monk. But gradually he began to open his eyes, a faint smile playing around the 6 of his mouth as the samurai stood there, waiting 7 growing more and more restless with each passing second.

"You wish to know the 8of heaven and hell?" replied the monk at last. "You who are so untidy. You whose hands and feet are covered with dirt. You whose hair is uncombed, whose breath is 9, whose sword is all rusty. You who are ugly and whose mother dresses you funny. You would ask me of heaven and hell?"

The samurai 10 some offensive words. He drew his sword and 11 it high above his head. His 12 turned purple with anger, and the veins()on his neck 13 apparently as he prepared to cut the monk's head off his shoulders.

"That's hell," said the old monk 14, just as the sword began to drop.

In a 15 of second, the samurai was 16with amazement, awe, compassion(同情)and love 17 this gentle being who had dared to 18 his very life to give him such a teaching. He stopped his sword in mid-flight and his eyes were filled with 19tears.

"And that," said the monk. "is 20".

China is quickly becoming the fashion capital. Thanks to young consumers and social media, China is no longer looking to the West for fashion ideas, is developing its own style. There is even unique name for it: China-Chic.

Market researcher Elijah Whaley says, "Foreign brands used to have an edge in the Chinese market by representing a Western lifestyle that (assume)to be superior. But Chinese consumers are now more confident in (they)domestically crafted China style." The underlying message here: it's cool to be Chinese.

With two bags of cat food in her arms, Manuela Wroblewski couldn't stop smiling as she walked toward the familiar shop on the comer. She was making her weekly visit to see Hussein the barber. He spotted her through the picture window of his quiet shop and burst through the door and into the sunlight.

The two hurried over to the tiny food dishes lined up in the alley Soon the sound of cat food clinked(叮当)against the bowls and several stiff tailed cats began to appear.

Here in Avsallar, Turkey, there was a cultural aversion(厌恶)to cats and dogs, those who fed the animals were often scorned(轻蔑). But Hussein paid no mind to those who glared at him. He took his time in the alley, kneeling for the longest while, stroking each cat and speaking softly. Hussein was simply a man who loved with his whole heart, and in this moment, he was lost in the comfort of his family.

As the two finished up and made their way back inside the shop, Hussein's smile faded and Manuela couldn't help but notice that he was beginning to look rather thin. Manuela, a native of Germany, has led a volunteer animal recuse program in Turkey for the last three years, but the language came slowly. Only by chance, when a multilingual (懂多国语)acquaintance arrived, did the room begin to darken as Hussein explained that he was about to lose his barber shop.

After decades in the same tiny room, Hussein had been told that he must leave. His little barber shop simply didn't pay enough rent and with so few customers calling for his "old-fashioned" services, the landlord had invited in another tenant(租客)…one who wouldn't be feeding animals outside.

Manuela's eyes began to flood as Hussein expressed his worry for the cats he cared for. There were only seven days before Hussein would move out and Manuela feared for this very survival and for that of the animals who depended on him.
