Popcorn from 5,600 years ago has been found in New Mexico, and thousand-year-old popcorn from Chile will even still pop! Many other grains can also be popped, including rice, wheat, and barley, but popcorn is the most popular. In fact, in the United States each American eats about fifty liters of it every year! And the snack’s special place in our hearts is nothing new. Popcorn, which is actually a special variety of maize, was held in high regard among early peoples of the Americas. Painted 1,700-year-old funeral containers found in Mexico, for example, were decorated with images of the god of maize wearing popcorn accessories. But how does this esteemed treat work? The kernel’s thick shell is the reason that popcorn pops. As the popcorn is heated, moisture trapped inside turns to steam and presses outward on the hull. When the pressure inside is about nine times the pressure of the air, the hull bursts, and the starch inside expands. The “popcorn cannons” used in Taiwan rely on this pressure difference to create their explosive treats. 儘管許多「美國的」食物如披薩和漢堡起源於其他國家，但爆米花確實是原產自美洲的食物。在新墨西哥州發現了五千六百年前的爆米花，而智利的千年爆米花甚至還會爆裂！ 許多其他的穀物也會爆裂，包括米、小麥和大麥，但爆米花最受歡迎。事實上，在美國每個美國人每年大約吃掉五十公升的爆米花！而這個零食在我們心中的特殊地位並不是什麼新鮮事。爆米花其實是一種特殊的玉米品種，在早期的美洲民族間具有崇高的地位。例如，在墨西哥發現的一千七百年歷史的彩繪骨灰罈裝飾著穿戴爆米花配飾的玉米神的圖像。 但這個備受尊崇的點心是怎麼作用的呢？玉米粒厚實的殼是爆米花爆裂的原因。爆米花受熱時，裡面的水分變成蒸氣然後向外擠壓外殼。當裡面的壓力是空氣壓力的九倍時，外殼就會爆裂，而裡面的澱粉就會膨脹。台灣所使用的「爆米香機」就是靠這個壓力差來製作會爆開的點心。 1/17 We usually think of popcorn as sweet or salty, but popcorn is gaining a new reputation as a health food. It turns out that without all the added salt, butter, and sugar you might get at a movie theater, popcorn alone is pretty good for you. It’s a whole-grain food packed with vitamins and antioxidants and low in fat and calories. It may even help reduce inflammation and reverse the effects of aging. That being said, popcorn is great with many different added flavorings when you’re in the mood to indulge yourself. Garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce are tasty topping choices, or you can try adding coconut oil and a little curry powder. For a sweet wintry treat, try mixing in some peppermint and white chocolate. It’s also delicious covered with melted peanut butter and dark chocolate. No matter how you enjoy it, there’s no denying that popcorn is a popular and convenient snack. It’s cheap, easy to make, and delicious. Pick some up the next time you’re at a baseball game, a carnival, or the cinema—or make your own while chilling at home. It’s sure to satisfy your craving for something sweet, salty, or healthy! 我們通常認為爆米花是甜的或鹹的，但爆米花正以健康食物而博得新的名聲。原來少了你可能在電影院買到的添加了鹽、奶油和糖，爆米花本身對你而言相當好。它是富含維他命和抗氧化物的全榖食物，而且脂肪和熱量都很低。它甚至可能幫助消炎和逆轉老化的影響。 儘管如此，當你想要犒賞自己時，爆米花非常適合許多不同的添加調味料。大蒜、芝麻油和醬油都是美味的配料選擇，或是你可以試試添加椰子油和一些咖哩粉。想要來點冬季的甜點，試試混入一些薄荷和白巧克力。淋上融化的花生醬和黑巧克力也很可口。 不管你怎麼享用它，不可否認爆米花是一種受歡迎且方便的點心。它便宜、製作簡單又美味。下次你在棒球比賽、嘉年華會或是戲院時買一些吧——或是在家放鬆時自己做做看。它絕對能滿足你對甜的、鹹的或健康的食物的渴望！

J: Yeah. We need to go shopping for new clothes. D: That shouldn't take long, but cleaning the house will. J: You're right. We have to clean every corner and make sure there's no dust anywhere. D: So, do you want to sweep or mop the floor? J: I'll take the second one. Our new mop is fun to use. D: OK. Then, maybe you can hang the spring couplets when I'm sweeping. J: That's a good idea! You're so smart! Part A：準備過年 黛安：過年前我們有很多事要做。 傑伊：對啊，我們得去買新衣服。 黛安：那應該不會花太久的時間，可是打掃房子就得花很多時間了。 傑伊：妳說的對。我們得把每個角落都打掃乾淨，確保任何地方都一塵不染。 黛安：所以你要掃地還是拖地？ 傑伊：我要選第二種。我們新買的拖把用起來挺有樂趣。 黛安：好，那麼我在掃地的時候，你也許可以去貼春聯。 傑伊：好主意！妳真聰明！ Part B: Enjoying New Year's Eve Dinner Jay and Diane are at their family reunion dinner. 傑伊和黛安與家人圍爐吃晚餐。 (Jay = J ; Diane = D) J: Look at all these amazing dishes! I can't wait to eat the spring rolls. D: Those are good, but I want to have the long life noodles the most. J: Do you think our sister's foreign husband will be afraid to eat the fish? D: He might because it still has its head and tail. J: Anyway, I'm super glad she's back from Canada. D: Yeah, I was sad when she couldn't make it last year. J: The whole family should always be together during Chinese New Year. D: I feel the same way. Part B：除夕圍爐 傑伊：妳看這一桌菜！我迫不及待要享用這些春捲了。 黛安：春捲是很好吃，可是我最想吃的是長壽麵。 傑伊：妳覺得姊姊的外國老公會不會不敢吃這道魚？ 黛安：可能喔，因為頭和尾巴都還在。 傑伊：無論如何，我超高興她可以從加拿大回來。 黛安：對啊，去年她沒辦法回來我好難過。 傑伊：過年就是要全家團圓在一起。 黛安：我也是這麼覺得。 Part C: Visiting Relatives Diane and Jay are visiting their Aunt Lily. 黛安和傑伊去拜訪他們的莉莉姑媽。 (Diane = D ; Jay = J ; Lily = L) D: Happy Chinese New Year, Aunt Lily! These tangerines are for you. J: Happy Year of the Rat! Here's a box of your favorite dried fruit and seeds, Aunt Lily. L: You two are so sweet! You didn't have to do that. D: It was no trouble. Besides, you always do a lot for us. L: What? I never do anything. Here, these red envelopes are for you. J: We can't, Aunt Lily. We're too old for that now. D: Yeah, it wouldn't be right. L: Oh, stop it. Just take them and make an old woman happy. Part C：拜訪親戚 黛安：莉莉姑媽，新年快樂！這些橘子是要給您的。 傑伊：鼠年行大運！莉莉姑媽，這盒是您最愛的果乾和瓜子。 莉莉：你們兩個真貼心！你們大可不用這麼麻煩的。 黛安：不麻煩啊，而且您一直都很照顧我們。 莉莉：說什麼話！我又沒有做什麼。來，這些紅包是要給你們的。 傑伊：莉莉姑媽，我們不能收。我們那麼大了，不能收紅包。 黛安：對啊，那樣不好。 莉莉：喔，別說了。就收下吧，讓我老人家高興高興。

Delving into reasons biographers assume Tuscan painter Leonardo da Vinci wrote the Notebooks, hunting down sources and original texts, South African art historian Susan Grundy uncovers it was only Leonardo’s young heir Milanese Francesco Melzi who said these were the artist's Notebooks. In the nineteenth century European scholars began to access these Notebooks in more depth, transcribing the arcane backwards Italian and translating them into English. They discovered a man who did not seem to be Tuscan Leoanrdo da Vinci, as he seemed to be a man from the East. Yet, this reality was closed down by researchers determined to continue with the myth of the self-educated genius from a farm in Tuscany.
As the end of the world arrives in downtown Shanghai, one man’s only wish is to return a library book... When a publisher agrees to let a star author use his company’s attic to write in, little does he suspect this will become the author’s permanent residence... As Shanghai succumbs to a seemingly apocalyptic deluge, a man takes refuge in his bathtub, only to find himself, moments later, floating through the city's streets... The characters in this literary exploration of one of the world’s biggest cities are all on a mission. Whether it is responding to events around them, or following some impulse of their own, they are defined by their determination – a refusal to lose themselves in a city that might otherwise leave them anonymous, disconnected, alone. From the neglected mother whose side-hustle in collecting sellable waste becomes an obsession, to the schoolboy determined to end a long-standing feud between his family and another, these characters show a defiance that reminds us why Shanghai – despite its hurtling economic growth –remains an epicentre for individual creativity.
