A study conducted by the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom suggest that watching cute animals may lead to a reduction in stress and anxiety.

The study examined how watching images and videos of cute animals for 30 minutes affects blood pressure, heart rate(心率) and anxiety. In December 2019, 19 people, including 15 students, joined in the study.

"There were some kittens, there was puppies, there were baby gorillas, there were quokkas —cute creatures found in Western Australia, are often referred to as 'the world's most cheerful animals'." Dr. Andrea Utley, a professor at the University of Leeds told CNN. The study was timed during winter exams, a time when stress is at an especially high level for students, according to Utley.

 The study recorded that the average blood pressure dropped from 136/88 to 115/71, which the study pointed out is "within ideal blood pressure range." Average(平均的) heart rates were lowered to 67.4 bpm, a reduction of 6.5%. Anxiety rates also went down by 35%.

"I was quite pleasantly surprised that during the session, every single measure for every single participant dropped some — heart rate reduced, blood pressure reduced," Utley said. "When they left, they filled the questionnaire(调查问卷) in again and showed that they were feeling less worried."

When questioning the participants, the study found that most preferred video clips over still images, particularly of animals interacting with humans.

①In today's busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling "time poor". Time poverty (贫穷) can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person's time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline (截止日期). Besides, we often say "yes" to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying "yes" to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate.

②People who don't have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental (心理的) health. Moreover, less quality (优质的) time with friends and families can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor?

③Firstly, manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don't realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work.

④Secondly, make quality time a true value in your life. It's important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work.

⑤We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it.

The Water Festival in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province usually takes place in mid-April and lasts three to seven days. It is not only important for the Dai people, but also attracts many tourists. It is believed that the more water splashed (泼洒) on you, the luckier your life will be.

The festival is recognized as the new year for the Dai people. They organize various activities, including splashing water, flying Kongming lanterns and dragon boat races. During the festival, flight bookings to Xisbuangbann a increase and most of the bookings come from Chengdu, Chongqing, and Guangzhou. Room bookings also increase by nearly 50 percent.

To make sure of travelers' safety and hoppiness, Xishuangbanna has strengthened market supervision (监督). The government will make use of folk cultures and the good environment to develop different types of tourism, hoping to increase tourism-related income (收入).

Chinese people had hotpot as early as the Shang Dynasty. At that time, people boiled foods in bronze cauldrons(青铜鼎), which had two parts — one was the pot to cook foods in soup, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the other part was a space inside the cauldron to hold firewood.

 Yuan Mei was a poet who was very fond of food in the Qing Dynasty. He mentioned huoguo, the Chinese name for hotpot, in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} book about all kinds of food. At that time, hotpo t was very popular. People put all kinds of meat and vegetables into the hotpot. They also used different {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to make pots such as copper(铜) and iron.

 It's said that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty {#blank#}5{#/blank#} hotpot. He had it for almost every meal. He once held a big hotpot party and invited more than 5,000 people to enjoy 1,550 hotpots.
