When he started asking about the process of putting a painting together, his parents realized he needed profess

17、ional instruction. Soon after, he began taking lessons, and his progress amazed everyone as the young boy produced impressive landscapes and watercolors.

18、 then on, he was surrounded by buyers from France, Japan, Greece and other countries.

For the fourth exhibit, Kieron took the day off

Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, and then I might have a glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner, that's about a liter of liquid in 24 hours. It feels li

26、ke plenty, but apparently it's not nearly enough. After years of suffering headaches and poor digestion I spoke to a neurologist about my regular headaches and a nutritionist about my poor digestion, and both told me I should be drinking up to three liters of liquid a day for my body to function

27、 at its best. I decided to conduct an experiment. What would happen if I drank the recommended amount every day for a month?

Even my lips look shriveled（枯萎的）. This is all classic evidence

29、 of poor hydration, apparently. Every system and function in our body depends on water.

35、cording to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. "People often feel strongly attached to particular places. Such places typically include their homes, but can also include commercial places such as stores and restaurants," write authors Alain Debenedetti (Université Paris E

36、st - IRG), Harmen Oppewal (Monash University), and Zeynep Arsel (Concordia University). "How do people develop and experience place attachment when the place concerns a commercial setting, where they are just customers, and the place is owned or controlled by someone else?"Consumers form s

37、trong emotional bonds with locations when they experience familiarity. Consumers also value authenticity and personal relationships. "It also helps if it is a place where one can feel safe and secure, protected from not only disturbing staff but also from aggressive promotional activities,

38、" the authors write. "The place does not have to be a splendid flagship store. People can build attachments with quite ordinary places, as long as the place meets the above criteria(标准) of familiarity, authenticity and security."The authors gained these insights from in

39、terviews with a sample of French consumers who talked about their experiences with the places they most treasure: cafés, restaurants, department stores, concert halls, and libraries. The final phase of the study focused on patrons of a particular French wine bar.The authors also found that once

40、 consumers bond with a commercial space, they are willing to make efforts or sacrifices to support it. Satisfied customers may pay higher tips, volunteer to help the business, and serve as ambassadors, linking other consumers to the business. "Consumers treat their special place as a treasured

45、 policy. Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommend

46、ations: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldn't have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids' bedrooms. Doctors say parents need to obey t

47、he family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. “If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?” Children aged from 8 to 18 sp
