Playing with apps on smart phones is very common among young people. Let's try some special apps and enjoy them.

Butter Camera

    In this app, there are many filters(滤镜)that can make your photos more beautiful. But the coolest thing is that it can help you add pretty and artistic characters. The characters can be anything you like. They can be your own words, famous sayings or even a poem. You can make a photo diary that shows your feelings.

TaoMix 2(自然之声2)

    Once in a while, you may feel tired after a busy school day. Why not try this app? This is a music app. But the sounds in it all come from nature. There are over 100 sounds of nature, such as birdcalls, wind and rain. You can hear all these sounds. The best thing is that you can create your own music by recording other sounds you like, for example, the sound of your own laughter.

Beaker(烧杯)

    Is chemistry your favorite subject? With this app, your smart phone turns into a beaker. You "pour" chemical materials by touching the upper right-hand corner of your smart phone. You "light" a match by swiping the screen quickly. You can shake the "beaker" to make chemical reactions go faster. There are 300 chemical reactions in all.

There is a famous English saying, "You are what you eat", which means that what you put in your mouth becomes part of you. Many experts (专家) use this saying to emphasize the importance of having a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food can make a person overweight. To stay fit, kids are often told to avoid sweet food. However, a recent survey completed by a team of American scientists has discovered something new about eating sweet food.

"When we say someone is'sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us understand more about people's feelings and behaviours," said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to explore whether we can know someone's character and behaviour based on their taste preferences."

 In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character— whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to list their favourite foods. According to their answers, the scientists found that students who liked sweet food were generally nicer.

 In another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet foods, such as cookies and chocolate, were more willing to help others in need, while those who preferred non-sweet foods, such as chips, were less likely to do so. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital, and so on.

 The results of the experiments suggest that people's helpfulness or kindness may be related to their preference for sweet food. So eating sweet food might be a useful way to make people more kind and helpful. Next time, try some ice cream!
