These are just some stories of the time I've spent traveling and some of the things I've noticed about myself along the way. Hopefully it will be good listening practice for you guys.

S'agit-il vraiment de froideur ou d'une simple différence culturelle quand un serveur français vous sert sans le sourire attendu ? Dévoilons ensemble les subtilités qui se cachent derrière les clichés sur l'accueil français et pourquoi le fameux ressentiment envers les Américains n'est, en réalité, qu'un grand malentendu. Loin de l'antipathie, je vous emmène dans une exploration culturelle éclairée des comportements français à travers des thèmes aussi variés que la législation sur les armes, les enjeux de notre système de santé et l'unicité de notre service en restauration. Ce voyage introspectif est une promesse de découvertes où les différences ne sont plus des barrières mais des ponts entre nos mondes.

The researchers also found that people who drank the most coffee — three or more cups per day — reduced their risk of death from all causes by over 30% compared to those who drank no coffee. And they were more than 50% less likely to die from heart disease.

第十章：变老
我的朋友带着他的小羊已经离去六年了。
Six years have already passed since my friend went away from me, with his sheep.
我之所以在这里尽力把他描写出来，就是为了不要忘记他。
If I try to describe him here, it is to make sure that I shall not forget him.
忘记一个朋友，这太叫人悲伤了。
To forget a friend is sad.
并不是所有的人都有过一个朋友。
Not every one has had a friend.
再说，我也可能变成那些大人那样，只对数字感兴趣。
And if I forget him, I may become like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures...
也正是为了这个缘故，我买了一盒颜料和一些铅笔。
It is for that purpose, again, that I have bought a box of paints and some pencils.
像我这样年纪的人，
It is hard to take up drawing again at my age,
而且除了六岁时画过闭着肚皮的和开着肚皮的巨蟒外，别的什么也没有尝试过，现在，重新再来画画，真费劲啊！
when I have never made any pictures except those of the boa constrictor from the outside and the boa constrictor from the inside, since I was six.
当然，我一定要把这些画尽量地画得逼真，
I shall certainly try to make my portraits as true to life as possible.
但我自己也没有把握。
But I am not at all sure of success.

一张画得还可以，另一张就不像了。
One drawing goes along all right, and another has no resemblance to its subject.


还有身材大小，我画得有点不准确。在这个地方小王子画得太大了些，另一个地方又画得太小了些。
I make some errors, too, in the little prince's height: in one place he is too tall and in another too short.


对他衣服的颜色我也拿不准。
And I feel some doubts about the color of his costume.
于是我就摸索着这么试试那么改改，画了个大概。
So I fumble along as best I can, now good, now bad, and I hope generally fair-to-middling.
我很可能在某些重要的细节上画错了。
In certain more important details I shall make mistakes, also.
这就得请大家原谅我了。
But that is something that will not be my fault.
因为我的这个朋友，从来也不加说明解释。
My friend never explained anything to me.
他认为我同他一样。
He thought, perhaps, that I was like himself.
可是，很遗憾，我却不能透过盒子看见小羊。
But I, alas, do not know how to see sheep through the walls of boxes.
我大概有点和大人们差不多。
Perhaps I am a little like the grown-ups.
我一定是变老了。
I have had to grow old.

You've been working for weeks on a project and finally get it finished, but someone else takes the credit — what could be more annoying?

Nothing, according to a new workplace survey! It found that people who steal your credit are the most annoying colleagues to work with.

Jobs site Kickresume asked almost 2,900 people around the world about the things that annoy them at work, and they had a lot to talk about!

Around 85% of people said they've worked with an annoying person.

And annoying colleagues don't just make people roll their eyes — they actually affect productivity too. In fact, almost six out of 10 people said that having annoying colleagues has a big effect on their productivity.

Thirty percent of people have a problem with colleagues who complain too much, while the same number get annoyed by those who don't respect personal space — they always stand a little too close!

Colleagues who steal other people's food from the fridge are also a source of annoyance.

Another common annoyance is bosses who micromanage — watching every move you make.

So what can we do about annoying behavior at work?

Many people say they'd like to talk to the person about it, but most don't have the courage.

Instead, 32% of people said they just try to stay away from the person who is annoying them. But that's not always easy, especially if they're stealing your credit — or your lunch!

Experts suggest speaking to a manager about workplace problems.

But here's a question: how do you know if you're not one of the people annoying your colleagues yourself?
