      今天是3月26日 星期六 我的城市天气阴 
      每个周六我都会去爬山(pa2 shan1) hiking。我的城市有几座挺不错的山，因为他们都不是很高，离市中心(shi4 zhong1 xin1) city center也不远，你可以从一座山上，再从另外一座山下来，下来之后，还在城市里，很方便。虽然是城市里的山，但植物(zhi2 wu4) plant都长的很好，很天然(tian1 ran2) natural的那种，而且许多山上是可以看到大海的，风景(feng1 jing3) scenery很好。
       我的城市里有不少爱好爬山的人，他们为这些山设计了几十条路线(lu4 xian4) route，真的很棒awesome。比如我今天去的这一条，它是几百年前的茶tea马horse古(gu3) old道(dao4) road。茶马古道阿，就是古时候(gu3 shi2 hou4) in ancient time的路，几百年前专门(zhuan1 men2) specially给运输(yun4 shu1) convey茶叶(cha2 ye4) tea leaves的马走的，所以叫做茶马古道。
       茶在中国是最重要的商品(shang1 pin3) commodity之一，可以卖到国内国外，所以茶马古道是过去的人赚钱(zhuan4 qian2) make money养家(yang3 jia1) raise one’s family的重要工具, 和我们现在的亚马逊(ya3 ma3 xun4) Amazon和淘宝(tao2 bao3) Taobao是一样的。
我们附近有很多地方出产(chu1 chan3) in produce茶叶，但是茶叶大多都长在山多的地方，山路不好走，只能靠马才能把茶运出去，马力气大，也能走很难走的路。所以，从千百年前，过去的人就修了很多专门运茶的山路，都在深山老林(shen1 shan1 lao3 lin2) remote, thickly forested mountains里，大部分是用石头做成的。走在茶马古道上，有时候你可以看到整齐(zheng3 qi2) regular的石头台阶(tai2 jie1) stairway，但大部分时候已经看不清楚了，因为过了太长的时间，已经被土和树叶盖住(gai4 zhu4) covered by了，但正是因为这样若隐若现(ruo4 yin3 ruo4 xian4) idiom* appear indistinctly，这些路看起来很有味道(wei4 dao4) special feelings。
       过去卖茶真的很难，这路太难走，一不小心会掉下去，山上可能还会有危险的动物，但是，好的东西永远会被人发现，无论多么困难。
       今天爬山，我觉得能量(neng2 liang4) energy满满，和大自然在一起让人特别开心。真正贵的东西经常是不要钱的,比如蓝天，空气，花朵。我拍了很多茶马古道的照片，很想和你分享，欢迎你来找我聊天。

Episode 3: Hiking on ancient tea horse road

Patinage sur glace
Ce matin, sortant de son terrier, Romarin, le lapin, a trouvé l’étang gelé.
- Venez, les enfants, nous allons patiner.
Quelle joie, tous les lapereaux ont chaussé leurs patins et se sont élancés sur la glace.
- Attendez-moi, j'arrive, crie l'âne Désiré. 
- Non, tu vas casser la glace, tu es trop lourd, répond Romarin. 
Désiré n'écoute pas et avance sur l’étang… Craque! La glace se fend et il tombe dans l'eau glacée. 
- Vite, une corde, ordonne Romarin, nous allons l'attacher par la queue et le tirer tous ensemble.
- Merci, dit Désiré en grelottant, je vais faire du patin à roulettes, c'est moins dangereux!

Sempre più persone imparano l'italiano; quali sono le principali ragioni che spingono la gente a imparare l'italiano? Vediamone alcune :)

Perché imparare l'italiano? Alcune ragioni

One of the most charming features of the Italian language is its apparent clarity. Unlike English, Italian is often described as a phonetic language: words are usually pronounced exactly as they are written.
Yet even in this musical and “transparent” tongue, there are exceptions—letters that fade, soften, or vanish depending on dialect, speed, or etymology. These are Italy’s hidden sounds, traces of the language’s long evolution from Latin to modern speech.

Let’s uncover some of the most interesting cases.

Egg prices are rising in America. The average cost of a dozen eggs hit a record $4.95 in January — up 53% from a year earlier. The price was below $2 in early 2022.

While the coronavirus pandemic and inflation have affected prices, experts say the real problem has been bird flu. An outbreak that began in early 2022 has become the largest in US history, affecting more than 100 million egg-laying hens.

To cope with rising egg prices, some Americans have been going straight to the source — and renting hens.

Rent The Chicken in New Hampshire is letting people rent egg-laying hens for six months at a time. For $595, you get two egg-laying hens and a guide on how to take care of them, as well as chicken feed and a coop to keep the birds in.

The birds actually aren't very difficult to take care of, explains Brian Templeton, owner of Rent The Chicken. "You just let them out and walk around and they go in at night on their own," he told CBS News.

"People really enjoy it," he added.

Rent The Chicken says two hens should produce eight to 14 eggs per week.

That comes to about $25 for every dozen eggs — so it's not really a savings.

You can also get four hens for $735, which would reduce your cost to about $15 per dozen eggs.

However, if you'd like to keep your chickens and coop at the end of your rental period, you can — for an extra $350 to $450.

According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hens will usually live for six to eight years, and produce eggs for three to four of those years.

So that might bring your price down over time.

Americans Rent Chickens as Egg Prices Rise

At what age do we become "old?"

This is a question a team of European researchers has been asking.

The age at which people think old age begins has moved in time, according to a new study.

Many people also like to believe they haven't yet reached old age, even as they get older.

The research team looked at data from the German Ageing Survey, which included more than 14,000 participants.

The participants were born between 1911 and 1974, and answered survey questions over a 25-year period between 1996 and 2021.

They were aged between 40 and 85 when they began answering the questions, and more participants joined the survey in time.

People were asked a lot of questions, including: "At what age would you describe someone as old?"

The researchers found that when people born in 1911 got to the age of 65, they thought old age began at 71.

But when those who were born in 1956 got to 65, they thought old age began at 74, on average.

However, the study also found that people's perceptions of old age changed as they got older.

At the age of 64, the average participant said old age began at about 75. But at the age of 74, the average participant said old age began at about 76.

Study author Markus Wettstein said he wasn't sure if this meant people had a positive or negative view of old age.

Better health care and increased life expectancy in recent years may also have affected people's perceptions, he said.
