Standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower,almost everyone looks down.Tourists push their
way to peer at Paris's famous landmarks.Yet those in the know gaze upwards:they climb to the
highest public platform to view not the metropolis,but a mosaic(镶嵌画).
Invader,the Frenchman behind the mosaic,is one of the most productive street artists in
the world.He has planted more than 1,500 works across Paris alone.There are thousands more
such "invasions"in over 80 cities around the world,from New York to Tokyo.His works have
been attached to the Hollywood sign and a ski lift in the Swiss Alps;they lie at the bottom of the
ocean near Cancun and orbit Earth in the International Space Station.
Like any successful intruder and serious streei artis,his identily is sereThat hasn't
stoppedhim from gaining fans.If you know achild in a city that has ben invaded,chances are
you've heard of FlashInvaders,an app on which you score points for finding the mosaics.The
game has more than 550,000 players.
Invader uses the ancient practice of mosaic to create figures inspired by video games.Each
piece acts as a“perfect pixel(像素)",which makes the mosaics look like digital images..
The pixels also mean the images can be scanned on a phone,a bit like a QR code:to play
FlashInvaders.The aim of the game is not only to interact with fans,but also to spark curiosity
and urban exploration.Searching for the mosaies takes you to parts of cities you wouldn't
normally see.
The app stands out because il encourages people to"look at their environmnent in a different
way".Mobile games are ofen criticised for gluing people to their phones,but this one teaches
you to take notice of the world around you.Whether on a litle-known street or at the top of the
Eiffel Tower,it's always worth looking up.

Few things are as undoubtedly good for you as"exercise.Besides making you fitter and
stronger,it cuts your risk of heart disease,strokes,diabetes,many types of cancer and more.
But how much of the cure-all do you really need?The WHO recommends at least 150
minutes a week of moderate activity,such as easy jogging or cycling,and two sessions a week
of strength training.Many still fall short.In America,for instance,less than half of adults
meet the minimum recommendations for just cardiovascular exercise alone.

Those who hate pounding the pavements need not despair,though.Even a little exercise is
better than none.And a growing pile of evidence suggests that might be true even with very
small amounts of exercise indeed:potentially just a few minutes a day.
Recently a group of researchers published a study that analyzed data from 25,000 British people
who did no organised exercise.The researchers were interested in"vigorousirregular lifestyle
physical activity"or VIPA-short bursts of relatively intense exercise undertaken in daily life.
Few of the participants did much VILPA-the median was just 4.4 minutes per day.But
even thai was associated with a reduction in the chance of dying.from any cause,of up to 30%
in he following seven yearsfor which the average participant was monitored.The association
persisted even after the researchers tried to account for the idea that causality(因果关系)
mightrun the other way,with only the already healthy capable of performing VILPA.
Exactly why VILPAs seem to be so good for you is not yet clear.But inspired by the
results,some academics have started advocatingexercise snacks":short bursts of activity
that even the most gym-shy or time-pressed should be able to manage.As the old saying goes.

are the big employers of philosophy PhDs right now."Topics that have been researched in
philosophy departments for decadeshow o make rational decisions,what counts as

A Seattle-area raccoon with a shortened spine (has become one of the Internet's
most celebrated animals.Videos of Jimothy balancing on backyard fences and going about his
nightly routine have gained millions of views.His popularity makes sense.36.But what if
our emotional investment in the life of a wild raccoon had less to do with Jimothy himself and
more to do with what he awakens inside of us?

37 We spend our days in environments shapedentirely for people,created by
people.Our screens and daily lives mostly reflect us to ourselves.However,something essential
is lost when our lives become like that.38 Encounters with wild animals de-center humans
in a way that is both fascinating and expansive.Jimothy's presence pulls us out of our own world
and reminds us that we are fellow creatures existing within an ecosystem.
Perhaps what draws us to Jimothy is not only his intriguing way of navigating urban life as a
uniqely shaped but the cognition that we ourelves have become disconetedfom
the natural world in the digital age.39Ecological identity is the part of our personal
identities formed through relationships with landscapesplants and animals.Recognizing that
our identities extend beyond the borders of our skin and mind to include the natural world around
us helps us to experience a sense of belonging Our consciousness of our neighborhoods shifts
from houses to ecosystems.Families of birds live in the trees,their lives unfolding in parallel
with our own.40.
A.We exist as members of a larger web of life
B.Modern life has become almost human-centric
C.Our living environment has changed dramatically
D.Animals with cute appearance always capture our hearis
E.People are wired to interact with what we call wild otherness
