Why We Should Record Travel Moments
On a rainy summer day, I took a train to Switzerland and trekked through the mud to a medieval fortress high atop a cliff. After twisting through its dimly lit corridors, I finally (21) ______ (arrive) at the main viewpoint of Cave of the Fairies: a plunging 77m waterfall that shoots from underground into a sparkling pool. As the waterfall wet my jacket, I closed my eyes and took out my phone (22) ______ (record) the rush of dreamy reality before me.
I had come in search of a sound, not a sight.
Throughout my travels, I’ve found myself (23) ______ (collect) sound recordings the way other people collect souvenirs. Just as some travellers take photos of landscapes or their food, I started doing this as an artistic way to help me remember some of the most interesting details of my trips.
Environmental scientist Lauren Kuehne said, “I think that once you start to listen, once you actually start to listen, you start to appreciate how much (24) ______(big) the world is.”
This attitude (25) ______ (echo) by Samara Kester, a retired emergency medicine physician who now serves on QPI’s board. “A photograph is two dimensions. (26) ______ you are looking at something you’re seeing, it’s maybe 180 degrees, maybe 270 degrees. Sound is 360 degrees. You hear it all around you.” Kester explained (27) ______ teaching herself to be a better listener has not only expanded her sense of travel, but helped her relive her travels once she’s back home.
“You immerse (28) ______ in that place again. You recreate those memories and therefore recreate the feelings you had, (29) ______ are very hard to express clearly. You can re-experience that and that will send you to where you were before.”
Months later back in my L.A. home, I find myself popping on my headphones and listening back to the rush of falling water inside Cave of the Fairies. When I close my eyes, I (30) ______ feel the spray of water against my skin, the sense of letting my ears lead me on faraway adventure. Mentally, I’m right back there -- if only for a moment.

No Filming at Concerts and Movie Theaters on Phones
“Please, no flash photography.”
Polite requests like this can be found in museums all over the world, but they generally don’t discourage people from taking photos of (21) _________ they feel like. The same goes for concerts, movie theaters and other places (22) _________ people routinely ignore filming restrictions. A new patent from Apple may block that rule-breaking feature—on phones at least.
The patent, (23) _________ (award) to Apple today, outlines a system which would allow venues, like concert halls or theaters, to use an infrared emitter (红外发射器) to remotely disable the camera function on smartphones. According to the patent, infrared beams could be picked up by the camera, and interpreted by the smartphone as a command (24) _________ (block) the user from taking any photos or videos.
Many musicians and performers have banned cellphones from their shows (25) _________ they object to the free footage circulating around the web. (26) _________ this, images still manage to leak out. Prince’s last concert before he passed away in April was supposed to be cellphone-free—it apparently wasn’t. If Apple’s patent (27) _________ (introduce) into iPhone software, with venues putting infrared emitters around their stage, leaks like this could potentially stop happening.
But the patent also raises questions about the sort of power that this technology would be handing over to (28) _________ with more immoral intentions.
Given the company’s rigid support of personal privacy when it comes to police requests to break into users’ devices, it’s possible that Apple just (29) _________ (patent) the technology so that no one else will use it. But who knows, if it does intend to introduce this feature to future operating systems, sales of camcorders, or even GoPros, could get a much-needed boost, as people try to avoid (30) _________ (use) the prohibitive software.

Beethov-hen’s first symphony
On a grey Friday morning at a Hawke’s Bay farm, members of New Zealand’s symphony orchestra dressed in black to perform their latest composition in front of a large crowd.
The music contained many marks of traditional classical music, but as it began, the instruments started to make loud, rough sounds more commonly __21__(hear) in chicken coops than in an auditorium.
However, no feathers were angered by this departure from tradition, __22__ the audience that gathered to listen to the concert last week was, in fact, a couple of thousand chickens.
The piece of music – Chook Symphony No.1 – __23__(create) specifically for the birds out of an unlikely partnership between the orchestra and an organic free-range chicken farm which wanted a piece of chicken-friendly music to enrich its flocks’ lives.
“We’ve been playing classical music for the chickens for some years now because __24__ is well researched that the music can calm the chickens down,” says Ben Bostock, one of the two brothers who __25__(own) the Bostock Brothers farm.
Research has shown animals can respond positively to classical music, and chickens are particularly responsive to baroque(巴洛克风格), according to some studies.
The composer, Hamish Oliver, __26__ used the baroque tradition as a starting point and drew inspiration from composers such as Corelli, Bach, and Schnittke, wanted the piece to be playful by including sounds from a chicken’s world. “The trumpet imitates the chicken … the woodwind instruments are the cluckiest, especially if you take the reeds off.”
The early stages of composition were spent __27__(test) out which instruments and sounds the chickens responded to best.
“They didn’t like any big banging,” Bostock said, adding that when the birds respond positively to the music, they tend __28__(wander) farther among the trees. Bostock now hopes chicken farmers around the world will use the piece of music to calm their own birds.
For Oliver, having input from the farmers about __29__ the chickens were responding to particular sounds and instruments was a highlight of the project.
The symphony has searched exhaustively __30__ any other examples of orchestras making music specifically for chickens and believes this to be a world-first, says Peter Biggs, the orchestra’s chief executive.

"Simple things are important, and the quality of salt and pepper makes a big difference," Salaun said.
While remaining true to his French roots, he has also taken into consideration the dietary habits of Chinese people. "Chinese locals prefer soft crust bread, while French like the crusty one. I sell both kinds. I can't just maintain the original characteristics; I must adapt to locals' preferences," he said.
A former mechanical engineer, Salaun, was sent by a Hong Kong company to work at a furniture factory in Wanzai township, Zhuhai, in November 2000. He said he couldn't have imagined how much his life would change with that move.
At that time, Wanzai was a tiny town (28) _______ (border) Macao known for its flower trade.
