Originally created for the Tokyo Marathon, the robot even has a timer so that tomato-eating runners wont use up their supply too quickly.THE ROLLING BENCHIts lunchtime and many people may be looking for a park bench to sit on,
13、 but the rain has made every surface humid. This is when the rolling bench comes in. When one side is too wet, a handle on the side can roll up another dry side for better sitting conditions. The inventions come from designer Sung Woo Park, from Seoul in South Korea.THE LED SLIPPERS(拖鞋)We all hate h
14、urting our toes in the dark, but a revolutionary footwear design can prevent this from happening again.

15、 that needs light.THE FOOT-POWERED BICYCLEIts the unusual invention of German designers Tom Hambrock and Juri Spetter.

18、ty.D. They can serve us in different ways.BWhen I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us wa
19、s away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the head of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at table; it was a place in which he
20、was situated against the yard and the trees. It was the holy and protected place that was his, and ours through him.After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When they came to visit me at their old house, Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but m
21、ine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home.

I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest childs first birthday.Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window.

23、le, I took a deep breath and said, Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side. He stopped, looked at me and then sat down.

24、 Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I dont know how Dad felt.

As I served the food, our lives experienced a c
25、hange, which we continue to live with.It wasnt easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that honoring ones father is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and

30、Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say.It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity activity, that just moving around and doing light
31、intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial, said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research.Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for f
32、ive to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable.For each study participants were split into four equal-si
33、zed groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together
34、 to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message sit less and move more and more often.However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the
35、 situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time.Dr Gavin
36、Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study.This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more p

40、ns to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what youre selling.Researchers from Britains University of Warwick Business School, University Colleg
41、e London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking. The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isnt as trustworthy comes from features that look sli
42、ghtly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted. Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the peopl
43、e with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted. The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didnt change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.Chris Olivola one of the stud
