We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?Some scientists are tryi
18、ng to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.Scientists say that itll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food inks into the printer.

19、 instructions to make the food exactly how you want it.

27、lish speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of resp
28、ect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语)and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds-ne
29、arly twice as long as in Americans meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you dont speak at all. Its already a failure to understand each other by speaking because youre repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial(殖民
30、地的)America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, its hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and theres understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life.
