Testo

Aisha è nata ad Assilah, in Marocco e vive a Torino nel quartiere di San Paolo. Ogni giorno per andare a lavoro in via Nizza prende la metropolitana. Aisha vive in un appartamento con il fidanzato Matteo, che è originario di Catanzaro, il loro bambino Pierpaolo, il gatto Galileo e il cane Michelangelo. Matteo lavora come programmatore per una famosa ditta di computer americana. Aisha lavora come insegnante di matematica nella scuola superiore. Siccome oggi è sabato, Aisha non lavora e insieme a Matteo e al loro figlio, fanno un giro al mercato di Porta Palazzo e al mercato delle pulci chiamato Balon. Poiché Aisha ha già fatto la spesa, allora a Porta Palazzo non compra niente. Al Balon ogni volta che va, c’è davvero molta gente che arriva per trovare delle occasioni  e in effetti oggi ci sono davvero tanti oggetti incredibili e vintage. Oggi Matteo ha comprato un vecchio telefono e anche una macchina fotografica antica degli anni sessanta. Dopo il loro giro al mercato Aisha e Matteo si fermano a mangiare del pesce fritto in un posto a Porta Palazzo e poi vanno al cinema Massimo a vedere un film. A loro gli piace molto il cinema e hanno deciso che il prossimo anno vogliono andare a vedere la mostra del cinema di Venezia. Ma quest’anno non possono ancora andare perché Aisha deve lavorare molto. Ad Aisha nel tempo libero piace leggere dei libri gialli mentre Matteo preferisce ascoltare musica blues. Matteo capisce il francese ma non lo parla. Aisha invece parla l'arabo el’amazigh, il francese e l’italiano. Tutti e due parlano anche inglese.

Il mercato di Torino

Viktor: Morning!
Sam: Hi, how are you?
Viktor: Great, thanks. Hey, did you set up the camera trap yesterday?
Sam: Yes, I did! Mom helped me put it up on the wall above the back door and we pointed it down and towards the grassy bit of garden. Did you?
Viktor: Totally. But something went wrong after I tied it to a tree in the park. Look, I’ve got some amazing video here. Let me forward it a bit … there – look.
Sam: Oh yeah, what is it? Can you zoom in? It’s very small.
Viktor: Can you see it now?
Sam: Ah, it’s a fox. I love the way it’s moving – like something between walking and running. What’s it got in its mouth?
Viktor: I think it’s a rabbit. The fox must be coming back from hunting.
Sam: That’s amazing. Anyway, what went wrong?
Viktor: Watch...
Sam: Woah! Did the camera just fall out of the tree?
Viktor: Yes! It was a windy night, wasn’t it? I must have tied it too loosely.
Sam: Ha-ha, well, you got some great stuff before the camera fell. It didn’t get damaged, did it?
Viktor: No, it didn’t. It’s okay. Did you get anything?
Sam: Yes, actually. We watched it over breakfast. I don’t have it here – I’ll send it to you later, but there were at least a couple of animals in the garden.
Viktor: What did you see?
Sam: Some kind of … well, I think it was a mouse, but it was quite big. My sister thinks it was a rat. Mum didn’t look too happy about that! She told me to get rid of it – whatever it was!
Viktor: Aw, rats are okay. It probably just lives in the garden – and they have to live somewhere.
Sam: I agree – as long as it stays outside and doesn’t come in the house.
Viktor: Anything else?
Sam: Oh, yes – I’m really thrilled about this one – we’re absolutely sure that we saw a hedgehog walking across from the neighbor’s garden to our back fence and then under it to the park behind.
Viktor: Oh, I love hedgehogs!
Sam: Yes, me, too!

Ep.55 消しゴムの思い出🍑🐰✏️

Do you find it harder to be nice and cooperative when you're tired? You're not alone — and there's actually science behind that feeling.

Researchers in Italy looked at how being tired affected people's brains and the decisions they made.

They looked at a total of almost 450 people. The participants all started by doing a set of similar tasks for about 45 minutes — but for one group, the tasks were made much more difficult to make the participants mentally tired.

For example, the mentally tired group was given more difficult quiz questions to answer. And while everyone watched funny videos, the mentally tired group was told to try not to smile or laugh.

Participants then played several economic games that asked them to make decisions that would give different benefits to themselves and others, like deciding how to share points in a group.

It was found that mentally tired participants were much less likely to make cooperative decisions in the games. They were also more likely to choose "antisocial" and "spiteful" options — where they could, say, choose to use some of their own points to reduce someone else's points instead of using them to help themselves or the group.

Why did this happen?

Among the mentally tired group, the researchers found a much stronger increase in "slow-wave" activity in parts of the brain used for things like planning, paying attention, controlling emotions and understanding others. These "slow waves" are similar to the ones seen in our brains when we sleep.

The researchers said this increase in slow waves may explain tired participants' less cooperative decisions.

So when you're tired after a long day, you may be less nice because the parts of your brain you need to help you cooperate are actually going to sleep!
