I realized I would not see a real person named Sophie at Sophie's Eatery because, like most new restaurants these days, Sophie's is a robo-restaurant.

When I walked in, a cute little manager robot appeared, looking rather like a toaster with blinking(眨) blue eyes. It escorted me to a nice table in the back. The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining choices. I tapped my choices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back down.

I watched as full plates rode the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle(过道) of tables. In just a few minutes, my dish stopped at my table, and I took it from the belt. Later, I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt, and it was taken away into kitchen to be cleaned.

I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish. The food was delicious, but I was starting to feel extremely angry because dealing with robots always makes me feel inhuman. Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.

So when my dessert arrived, I took action. I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash. I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster's blinking red eyes—at last, a real live person would arrive!

But instead, a crew of two robots quickly appeared. A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the piece of the broken plate into a robot garbage can. They finished and moved back into the kitchen.

My plan to get a little reality into Sophie's Eatery failed. I hope the robo-restaurant trend ends soon. I want to deal with people again!

"Beauty isn't about having a pretty face," begins a motivational quote. "It's about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!"

That may be Angela Peters' motto. Last July, Peters, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon (沙龙) at the Walmart shopping center in Burton to have her nails done. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands kept shaking. What was meant to be a day of beauty for Peters was now a disappointment.

A Walmart cashier about to go on her break happened to see this. Ebony Harris recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. "She's just like everyone else. She wants to look pretty. So why can't she?" Harris said.

Harris approached Peters. "Do you want me to do your nails?" she asked. A smile spread across Peters' face. "Yeah!" Harris led Peters into the supermarket, where they shopped for nail polish. They settled on a color that would catch every eye. They then made their way into a neighboring Subway, found a table for two, and started. Harris gently took Peters' hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. "She moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry," Harris said. "I told her, ‘Don't say that. You're fine. ' She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I have. "

Watching it all with surprise and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. "She was so patient with her," she wrote. "Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl's day!"

Cengiz Ozek sits at his desk in the poorly lit back office of his shadow theater near Taksim Square in central Istanbul. The theater is one of the last in operation in the city. He holds a piece of camel leather, a sheet of paper with some drawings on it, and a small cutter. In front of him are a few bottles of paints that he will use to create jointed puppets(皮影人偶). Ozek, one of the most influential contemporary Turkish puppeteers, hopes to appeal to a younger audience and boost the culture of Turkish shadow theater.

"There might be around 50 people, more or less, who do shadow theater in Turkey today, but only five or six of them are real professionals who are completely devoted to it," says Ozek while he works on a figure of Karagoz, the most famous figure in Turkish shadow theater—so famous is the character that the art itself is often called Karagoz.

To date, scholars have not been able to determine where this type of theater began to exist. Suggestions range from China to Central Asia, and from India to Byzantine Greece. Somescholars have focused on Bursa, the first capital city of the Ottoman Empire(奥斯曼帝国), and believe that the two main characters, Hacivat and Karagoz, were real people who lived in that city at the time. The two men were construction workers who often told jokes to amuse their co-workers, resulting in delays in the completion of their work. In the end, they were sentenced to death. However, the people of Bursa missed them so much that they began to tell their stories in the form of puppetry.

Ozek wants to open a Karagoz museum in his city in order to keep this art alive. He's also developing new characters to catch the attention of children. "We first try to attract them with modern characters that they know, and while they're watching, suddenly we bring out Karagoz," Ozek says. "We introduce him to them once again. When they watch it, they are satisfied, and we are happy as well. And like that, Karagoz survives in a way. "

How to keep healthy? It's easy for us to catch a cold in winter and spring because the weather changes a lot in spring and it is too cold in winter. But if we take care in our life, all of us can keep healthy without any cold.

For decades, humans have torn up the natural landscape in Asia, cutting down trees to build resorts (旅游胜地) in the most beautiful locations and caging wild animals to attract tourists.

Bangkok-based hotel architect Bill Bensley is saying "1. "

When a businessman talked with him about 2 a resort that included a zoo in Asia, he came up with a(n) 3 : let's 4 the humans and let the rare and endangered 5 wander free.

Sounds 6? Bensley is known for 7 ideas, so much so that he's been called the "Willy Wonka of hotel design. "

At his Shinta Mani Wild resort in Cambodia 8 arrive via a 380-meter zip wire (高空滑索) over the wilderness of the South Cardamom National Park and are 9 to join Wildlife Alliance anti-poaching patrols (防盗猎巡逻).

But he's not doing things 10 for eye-catching. Bensley is a lifelong conservationist who deeply 11 what humans are doing to the planet. That's why he wanted to do the World Wild Project. 61-year-old Bensley says the first stage of the eight-year project, which will 12 several different top branded hotels, is expected to 13 in 2023.

The cages for 14 will actually be 2,400 hotel rooms, with a budget of generally a million 15 per room. Let's just say the guests won't be uncomfortable.

16, it's not the rooms the California-native is talking about. Having a 17 with a local official, he has got the permission to relocate abused animals from 18 in Asia, and set them free onto the 19 2,000-hectare piece of land 20 the human zoo will be located.

Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble (learn) English? I hadn't, until one day my five-year-old son asked me there was a ham in a hamburger. There isn't. This made me realize that there's no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine apple in pineapple. This (get) me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn. Even the smallest words can be. (confuse). When you see the capitalized "WTO" a medical report, do you read it as the "who" in "Who's that?"

English (invent) by people, not computers, and it reflects the (create) of the human race. That is why when the (star) are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are (visible).
