A taste of The Sound of Music

Guests staying at the Hotel Hyperion can have a three-course meal inspired by The Sound of Music — thanks to Michael Daus, the executive chef of Gaumenfreund, the hotel's on-site restaurant. Part art, part sculpture, and part deconstruction, each component of the meal is a nod to the movie, Alpine culture, or the original Trapp family.

Take a singing bicycle tour

Ideal for a family, Maria's Bicycles offers a 3. 5-hour singing bicycle tour through all the major movie locations. Photo stops include the Mozart Bridge (where Maria and the children point at their favorite sights), Mirabell Gardens (from the famous "Do-Re-Mi" song), and the Felsenreitschule — the theater where the family sings "So Long" after winning the 1938 Salzburg Summer Festival.

Stay at Schloss Leopoldskron

Fans can check into Schloss Leopoldskron where scenes were filmed, including when viewers see Baron von Trapp and Baroness Schraeder drink pink lemonade, Maria and the children fall out of their boat, and Maria return from the abbey. However, the Venetian ballroom, staircase, and main foyer were reproduced in Hollywood.

Recreate a famous scene

Visitors to Salzburg can also take the Mönchsberg elevator or walk three miles to the Winkler Terrace, located by the Modern Museum of Salzburg. Fans can recreate the "Do-Re-Mi" scene. The view of the Salzach River and the old city center make a perfect backdrop for an Instagram-worthy snapshot.

Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.

Mrs. Hill's front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green's house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill's home phone and called the police.

Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill's house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. "Stop right there! You must leave right now!" he called out, holding the branch with both hands.

The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father's watch was here," he explained, trying to lift a floorboard.

At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.

Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill's house. Somehow he wasn't sure he had done the right thing. "What if he has told the truth?" he thought to himself. The man's words sounded pretty convincing.

The price of fashion — economically and environmentally — has led to the rise of new way of dressing, and it's beginning to take off in Australia, too. As people now choose to wear more clothes fewer (time), clothing rental services have become increasingly popular.

"I think it's an amazing idea," says Tanya Perilli, who owns a clothing rental shop. "Customers today look past the fact that something is secondhand and focus instead the fact that they have something unique to wear are not overstuffing their own wardrobes (衣柜) or contributing to landfill."

Tanya's shop offers fashion clothes for women (rent) rather than purchase them outright, providing a less expensive (solve) to one-time event dressing. The concept (be) certainly not new — men have been renting good suits for decades — but for female shoppers, it is just taking off. This clothing-as-service model follows the broader societal movement towards shared economies.

Tanya is also looking beyond special-occasion dresses to less formal clothing, she plans to package as capsule wardrobes and offer to travellers, such as those headed to weddings abroad, with a longer-term rental period. "I really want to make this work for (people) lives today, and I know that doesn't always mean (return) a dress on the Monday after a special weekend," she says.

Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively.

Keep your audience in mind.

Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information.

Don't use ten words when one will do.

Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. However, they're hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple.

If you've ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you'll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills.

Consider the best method to deliver your message.

If the information you're communicating isn't urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.        

Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort.

A. Be patient.

B. Get the audience involved.

C. The best messages are often simple.

D. Speak directly to what matters to them.

E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer.

F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.

G. As the speaker, you already know what you're going to say.

According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. "There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I'm not convinced that food is one of them," she says. "It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy."

Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the "Division of Responsibility," where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.

Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. "When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,' you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,'" says Markey. "Let them feel like they have some control over it."

I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive, they do make better decisions. "Feeding is a long game," says Markey. "The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don't eat it, they' re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks."

Herbal medicine is an important part of Chinese culture and the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. The emperor Shen Nong is said to have tasted 100 herbs, allowed him to teach the Chinese people how to use them in their diet and (treat) for illness. These herbs help the body to stay in balance and goji berries are one of them.

Since 200 B.C., goji berries (use) in traditional Chinese medicine. In China, goji berries are known "wolfberry fruit" and they were once mentioned in the oldest book of Chinese herbs in existence, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing. They are also known to act (positive) on the organs because of the detoxifying (解毒) properties, thus (contribute) to our qi and energy.

Goji berries are excellent source of antioxidants (抗氧化剂), amino acids and 20 other trace (mineral). The list of goji berry benefits is long, including (it) ability to promote healthy skin, protect eye health, adjust blood sugar levels and fight cancer.

Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection. That's a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here's everything you need to know about the trend.

Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. Meanwhile, consciously observing the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations during the walk can significantly impact cognitive and emotional well-being.

To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. And it might even be good for your brain. Scientists applaud the virtue s of boredom for brain health, believing that it boosts creativity and improves social connections. And if you do get bored, rest assured that it shows you've disconnected from external distractions. Go with it, and make sure you take a different route each time — it'll keep you motivated.

Start off with five-minute silent walks and eventually build up to thirty minutes. If you're usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you're a few minutes into your silent walk, you'll feel the magic kick in.

Regular reflection and ongoing documentation are essential. After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. Journaling about the experience can also solidify connections between thoughts and ideas, providing a valuable tool for self-reflection and growth.

A. But being bored won't hurt you.

B. Taking different paths can lead to exciting discoveries.

C. However, you'll start noticing the urban landscape around you.

D. Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.

E. They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth.

F. Unlike exercise-oriented walking, it isn't about reaching certain speed or steps.

G. In such an environment, you can immerse yourself in the natural soundscape (音景).

Many bird species use different alarm calls for different predators(捕食性动物). Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their young to lower down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends the young jumping out of the nest completely. And black-capped chickadees change the number of "dees" in their calls to indicate the size and threat of predators.

Besides alarm calls, many bird species use recruitment calls that gather other members of their species. Japanese tits add alarm calls to recruitment calls to create a sort of call to arm, gathering their partner members to attack and drive off a predator. When the birds hear this call, they approach the caller while scanning for danger.

Scientists led by Professor Toshitaka Suzuki of Kyoto University discovered that the order of the combined calls matters to the Japanese tits. When Suzuki's team played a recorded "alarm + recruitment" call to tits, it gets a much stronger response than a "recruitment + alarm" call. However, this could simply be explained by the birds responding to the combined calls without knowing the parts of the combination, but the scientists tried to clarify this question from different angles.
