University Students Interested in Stress-Reducing Cats
While a number of universities offer students opportunities to play with dogs as a way to reduce stress, little is known about whether cats could help in the same way.

So researchers from the US and Belgium surveyed more than 1,400 students and staff from 19 Belgian universities to see how interested they would be in on-campus cat visiting programs.

Participants were asked seven questions about a possible cat program, including whether they would like to have a cat on campus, if they would find it relaxing, whether they would visit the cat, and whether they would recommend a cat program to other universities. They gave each idea a score out of five.

The average total score was 3.8 in favor of a campus cat.

The researchers found that the people with the most positive feelings about a cat program were women, cat owners, people who were more emotional, and — perhaps surprisingly — people who were interested in dog programs.

The study authors said that previous research has shown that emotional people are more likely to have strong relationships with animals.

However, dog owners, as well as people who were afraid of or allergic to cats, were found to be less interested in a cat program. Some also worried that having a cat on campus would be risky.

According to the researchers, the aim of the study was to find more ways to help people feel less stressed.

They believe cats can help, since including both cats and dogs in these stress-reducing programs could encourage more people to take part, and cats would need less training than dogs to help.

Similar a las historias de otras mujeres legendarias en latinoamérica, como La llorona o La sayona, “La patasola” es el alma en pena de una mujer que perdió a sus hijos por conflictos amorosos. Se conoce como “la patasola” porque anda con un sólo pie. Su cabello es largo y enmarañado, y tiene ojos y boca grandes.

Cuentan que era una mujer que estaba casada con un campesino con quien tenía tres hijos. Un día, a la vuelta del trabajo, el campesino encuentra a la mujer en casa con su patrón, y en un arrebato de furia cortó la cabeza de este último con un machete. La mujer intentó escapar, pero el campesino logró cortarle una de las piernas. Como consecuencia de esta herida la mujer murió pronto. El campesino prendió fuego a la casa y se llevó a sus hijos muy lejos. Desde entonces, el alma en pena de la patasola regresa a buscarlos.

De acuerdo con la región específica donde se cuenta, la patasola aparece con enormes colmillos, por lo que puede tratarse de una especie de vampiro que, más allá de haber sido una mujer despechada, es un ser que protege la naturaleza.

Colombian Legends

La patasola - Mito Colombiano

清明节是中国的传统节日，通常在四月。这时候，天气不冷也不热，到处都是春天的样子，草绿了，花开了，好看极了。​
清明节有一个重要的习俗，就是扫墓。很多人会在这天去墓地，墓地是去世的人 “住” 的地方。人们带着鲜花来到墓地，把墓地打扫得干干净净，再献上鲜花，表达对去世亲人的想念。​
除了扫墓，清明节还适合踏青。人们会和家人、朋友一起去公园或者郊外。在公园里，能看到五颜六色的花，还能听到小鸟唱歌。在郊外，空气特别新鲜，风轻轻吹在脸上，舒服极了。大家一边走，一边看风景，心情也变得更好。​
清明节还有好吃的食物，比如青团。青团是用绿色的菜和糯米做的，又软又甜，味道很棒。很多人在清明节会吃青团。​
在中国，有一首和清明节有关的诗，是唐代诗人杜牧写的。诗是这样的：​
清明时节雨纷纷，​
路上行人欲断魂。​
借问酒家何处有？​
牧童遥指杏花村。​
这首诗说的是，清明节的时候下雨了，路上的人心情不太好。有人问哪里有酒店，放牛的小孩指着远处的杏花村。​
清明节既有对去世亲人的思念，又有对春天的喜爱。希望通过今天的节目，大家对清明节有更多的认识。感谢收听，咱们下次再见！
