In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.

When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.
I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.
Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.
After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.

“Iris scan, please,” the bank’s computer voice tells you. You step up and the computer reads your eye, comparing it to the stored file it has of your iris. The images had better match-otherwise you won’t be able to get your money.
Iris scanning and other technologies, such as fingerprint and voice scanning, have appeared in many science fiction movies in the past. Today, They are common at work, the bank, the airport, and your local prison. The iris scan, fingerprint scan, and voice scan are all examples of biometrics, a fast—developing area of automatic personal identification technology. Basically, biometrics uses various ways to verify a person’s identity, based on the people’s unique characteristics, including fingerprints, voices, irises, body heat patterns, facial images, handprints, signatures and so on.
Iris scans currently give the highest level of accuracy among all the available biometrics systems. Another technology, full facial scans, is currently in use at border crossings and airports. Facial scanning equipment can actually track and identify moving faces within a crowd.
The potential of biometrics is exciting and encouraging. With continued development, testing and application, current technologies will become even more effective in the future. Soon, the days of password and car keys will be gone. Just don’t leave home without your fingerprints!

Healthy sleep habits are associated with a lower risk of heart failure. Adults with the healthiest sleep patterns had a 42% lower risk of heart failure regardless of other risk factors compared to adults with unhealthy sleep patterns, according to a new research published today in the American Heart Association’s flagship journal Circulation.
Heart failure affects more than 26 million people, and more evidence indicates sleep problems may play a role in the development of heart failure. This observational study examined the relationship between healthy sleep patterns and heart failure and included data on 408, 802 UK Biobank participants, aged 37 to 73 at the time of recruitment (招募). Incidence of heart failure was collected until April 1, 2019. Researchers recorded 5,221 cases of heart failure during a follow—up of 10 years.

“The healthy sleep score we created was based on the scoring of these five sleep behavior,” said Lu Qi, direct of the Obesity Research Center at Tulane University in New Orleans. “Our findings highlight the importance of improving overall sleep patterns to help prevent heart failure.”
They also found the risk of heart failure was independently associated:8% lower in early risers;12% lower in those who slept 7 to 8 hours daily; 17% lower in those who did not have frequent insomnia; and 34% lower in those reporting no daytime sleepiness.
Participants’ sleep behaviors were self—reported, and the information on changes in sleep behaviors during follow—up was not available. The researchers noted other unmeasured or unknown adjustments may have also influenced the findings. Qi also noted that the study’s strengths include its novelty and advanced study design.

My Favorite Workout
It seems to me that almost everyone has his or her favorite form of exercise, and I'm no exception. My favorite workout is definitely badminton, which is, in my opinion, also the most suitable sport for me as a senior high for the following reasons.
Firstly, with the shuttle cock always flying high overhead, while playing the sport, I have to hold my head high all the time, which undoubtedly does good to a person who bends over the desk most time and thus might be in the danger of developing some problems with the neck. Secondly, badminton, unlike other working out forms, never requires much in playing conditions—with two light rackets, one little shuttle, and a nice partner, I can just enjoy the game to my heart's content almost at any place even during a short break between classes. Moreover, I don't think it necessary to describe to anyone who has ever played it how much delight badminton can bring us.
All in all, it is badminton that enriches my life on campus as well as keeping me physically and mentally fit despite stressful schoolwork.
