I'm taking up the prize to travel to AD 3008. I can't believe it so I have to remind myself (constant). I have no previous experience, so at first I was uncertain. Luckily, my friend and guide Wang Ping was very understanding and gave me much help. (transport) by Wang Ping's parents' company, I arrived in the future in time capsule. At first my new surroundings were difficult (tolerate). So I felt uncomfortable for lack fresh air.
Supermarkets in Vietnam and Thailand are leading the fight single-use plastics by (replace) plastic bags with banana leaves.
As we all know, it is of great importance to the planet we stop using so much bloody plastic. Firstly, it is poisoning the seas. Whales are washed up (die). It is the huge amounts of plastic inside their (stomach) that kill them. Secondly, if it is poisoning the seas, it's (probable) poisoning us, too, for we eat a load of things that come out of the sea.
Lately, a new and encouraging (develop) started with a Facebook post showing banana leaves being used in the Rimping supermarket in Chiang Mai. Thailand. After seeing how much good publicity the post (get) in the past few months, supermarkets in Vietnam have all followed suit.
According to a spokesperson for Lotte Market in Ho Chizminh City, they're only doing this as test, but they plan to expand the action nationwide and hope to be able to use the leaves for meat as well as vegetables before too long. Besides, another Vietnamese supermarket, has already started using biodegradable (可生物降解的) bags (make) from corn.
This is a step in the right direction and we do need it.
As humanity has got richer, animal's roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机)made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备)kept rats in check and made cats less useful. No longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries. Pet-keeping seems to kick in when household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming.
The trend is not a new one. Archaeologists (考古学家)have found 10,000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried together. Some cultures -- such as in Scandinavia, where dogs have long been both working dogs and companions -- have kept pets for thousands of years. But these days the pet-keeping urge has spread even to parts of the world which have no tradition of sinking into a comfortable chair with a furry creature.
The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food - waste - recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters' tables. Pet - food shelves are full of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion; a number of internet services offer food, tailored to the pet's individual tastes.
In the business this is called "pet humanisation" -- the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex and Spot to -- in America -- Bella, Lucy and Max. It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing, pet grooming and pet hotels.
People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible "puppy - dog eyes" precisely to affect human emotions. It has worked. The species that once enslaved others now works very hard to pay for the care of its pets. Sentimenta (多愁善感的)Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cat's "mommy" or "daddy". South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat "butlers". Watch an unlucky dog-walker trailing "his" hound (猎犬), plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and you have to wonder: who's in charge now?
Are supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more? When you enter a supermarket, the manager knows better than you: how you will behave — which way you will walk, where you will look, what will make you buy one product rather than another. When customers go into a shop, they naturally look to their left but move clockwise, towards the right. So supermarket entrances are usually on the left of the building. And the layout is designed to take shoppers around the store, aisle (通道) after aisle, from left to right.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances. Basic food like sugar and tea, are not put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods before they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they do not really want.
People walk quickly through narrow aisles, but they move slowly in wide aisles and give more attention to the products. One best-selling position for products is at the end of aisles, because shoppers slow down to turn into the next aisle. Supermarkets are paid by food companies to put their products in each of these high-selling places.
While parents are waiting to pay, children reach for the sweets and put them in the trolley.
More is bought from a fifteen-foot display of one type of product (e. g. cereal, washing powder) than from a ten-foot one. They do not like to buy from shelves with few products on them because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.
A. Another is on shelves at eye level.
B. Sweets are often placed at children's eye level at the checkout.
C. There are always enough products prepared for customers in the supermarket.
D. Then shoppers will pay attention to all the products.
E. This gives the impression that only healthy food is sold in the shop.
F. Customers also buy more when shelves are full than when they are half empty.
G. Supermarkets are one of children's favorite places and they are also big consumers.
If you've ever been to a Disney Park, you've obviously seen little children running around dressed as their favorite characters. In fact, it's 1 by the park, and you can even purchase a Disney makeover for your kids in the park 2 with authentic costumes (戏服), hairstyles, and makeup by the professionals. But as the kids get 3, they are less likely to be dressed up, and 4 they hit the age of 14, you won't 5 a single one of them in costume.
It isn't because they're “too cool for school”; it's 6 against the rules. According to the Disney Park rule-book, any guest aged 14 or older may be 7 admittance if they are 8 costumes or masks.
The 9 of this rule is two-fold. One, your face can't be 10 and you can't be carrying anything resembling a real gun. This is obviously a 11 issue, so choose your cosplay wisely. The second intention is to 12 that any interactions park guests have with cast members remain genuine (真实的) and on brand. If there were 20 13 running around dressed like Cinderella, some of the guests in costume may get one confused with Disney's official princess, ruining the fantasy for children. He may convey false messages or break one of the 15 Disney etiquette (礼仪) rules all Disney employees must 14.
15, that doesn't mean that you can't truly get into the 16 of your favorite Disney character the next time you head to one of the parks. 17 Disney fan Leslie Kay began a trend that is called Disney Bounding. In 18, Disney Bounding is dressing up in a non-costume outfit 19 by your favorite character. So maybe you can't dress up in Princess Belle's iconic (标志性的) yellow dress, but you could wear a yellow dress with teacup-themed jewelry. Try to be creative with your 20 the next time you head to one of the parks.
