Most Saturdays of my childhood, my father3 in the aisles (过道) of the local hardware store with me4 him. He searched for what he needed while not ignoring me. You could call it "5". He would stop here and there to point out garden tools he thought might6 me, as though the store was a kind of7, and he was the enthusiastic docent (讲解员). Honestly, I wasn't a very8 listener, paying little attention to what he said. I loved hardware stores for9 reasons, like how some items looked like robot arms from a sci-fi film.

My father has made a corner of his14 my own during our trips to the hardware store. Next time I see him, I'll15 him to the hardware store.

Where do feelings come from? Finding humor or joy in life's moments often brings a smile to our faces. Our breathing becomes shallow in response to our fear. When someone jumps and surprises us, our throat or chest might tighten.

Feelings are important because they give hints (提示) about what you need. If you're angry, it might mean something is unfair and you need help to fix it. If you're sad, this could mean you need comforting or time to be healed. It can help you to talk about what you feel, which can make it easier to get the help you might need to figure things out and move on.

In the film Inside Out 2, the characters in 13-year-old Riley's brain represent her emotions. They each take over her brain as she goes through big life changes.

Riley learns to understand that all emotions are normal, and that they are all important.

This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem. For instance, younger generations often perceive current environmental conditions as unexceptional, even when older generations see them as significant declines.

"The last two years have been kind of supercharged," says Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist. Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and "2023 and 2024 stand out." In part, this is due to a recent El Nino, an event in which warming in the tropical (热带的) Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that "we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases." Along with the rise, scientists expect we'll see an increase in climate-related disasters like wildfires.

In principle, shifting baseline syndrome is relevant to a wide range of environmental challenges. In a recent review paper, scientists found many studies of shifting baselines indicate people struggle to notice gradual changes in climate, especially younger individuals. Most of these studies were conducted in low-income countries, and many focused on farmers. Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change.

"Even in places where many people are aware of the crisis," says Adam Aron, a professor at the University of California, "people aren't necessarily taking action or demanding that officials do." If we want people to change, Aron believes "non-analytic" approaches are needed. "Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society," he says. "My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I'm going to do it, too."

Reading enthusiastically as a child, Rhodes went on to study English and kept reading at university and worked in publishing and bookselling before breaking into journalism. She set up Emily's Walking Book Club over a decade ago, and still runs the monthly meetup in Hampstead Heath in London, as well as working as a book critic for the likes of The Guardian and The Spectator.

Starting out with a table loaded with donated books, Rhodes says the effect was surprising. "On that first day there were 35 guests accessing the food bank, and I gave out 50 books. Everybody flooded to the table. There was an instant conversation that began with books and went into other places fast, and the newly formed conversation would last over 10 minutes. So far 2,750 books have been given away."

The concept's success, however, is measured from other angles. It's also about recasting going to the food bank as a pleasing thing instead of a difficult, or even potentially shameful, chore (麻烦事). "People are often in low spirits and there's a lot of waiting," Rhodes explains. "Bookbanks changes the balance of how people think about that space and turns it into something more hopeful." Reviews from users speak volumes. "I take books home to read with my son. It's the best time; we are quiet together," says Yusuf.
