Have you ever noticed the black and white bars on a book？Do you know what they are used for?
They are bar-codes（条形码）used in most products. If you go to a supermarket，you can see almost every product with a bar-code on it. Bar-codes have information about the product, such as name and production date.It's an easy and convenient way to know about the products. Just scan the bar-code and everything is clear.
The first use of a bar-code in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974.Beyond supermarkets, bar-codes are needed everywhere:for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels(包裹) you send. Life would be rather difficult without bar-codes.Most of our things would get lost in the post.
Bar-codes change as well.Bar-codes in the past were 1-D(one-dimensional空间), but now there are 2-D bar-codes,such as QR code.Since 2009, QR has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums,cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of bar-codes.
With these small codes, life is getting much easier for us.
If you find these bar-code things boring, a bar-code building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg, Russia, there is a building designed like a bar-code.It looks strange, but it's actually a shopping mall. There are games too. Bar-code Monsters is a mobile phone game. You have to scan bar-codes and find the monsters!

Bad days happen to most of us when we just wake up in a really bad mood.When something has made you angry,sad or disappointed,you still have to get up and go to work.But before you get there,you’re already very angry inside.
Not much fun, huh? Luckily, you can do something about it. 1. .
Accept your bad mood
Being in a bad mood is not that hard.Fighting a bad mood only prolongs(延伸)it,so if you're mad,be mad,and if you’re sad,be sad.This does not give you license to be rude. 2.
Tell others
You can try to keep your bad mood a secret and put on your happy mask (面具).Guess what, you're fooling nobody.Your co-workers(同事)will notice and they will wonder what they’ve done to get you out. 3. Simply tell them“Listen,guys!I’m in a really bad mood today.I’m not sure why.If I bite your head off,I apologize in advance(提前道歉).”
Remember the good things
When you’re in a bad mood,everything is bad. 4.
Spend a few moments to try thinking of at least one or two things that aren't all bad,such as something you look forward to,a person you like at work,or something nice that happened recently.
5.
And if you're having a really bad day,it may be a good idea to withdraw(退出)a little if you can.Take a walk in your lunch break.Sit and work somewhere quiet.Take a long bathroom break.Consider going home early or taking the day off.

When I was young, after church on Sundays, we would always have a delicious Italian dinner at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother’s slow-cooked sauce(酱) was the key. We would all eat, talk and laugh until our stomachs were full. After mum and grandfather passed away, my dad would still make the sauce from time to time and invite me and my brother over to his little house for a dinner full of fine food and happy memories.
When my dad died, he passed the family recipe(食谱) on to me and my daughter. We often made the sauce for dinner, but for some reason it never tasted quite right. At first, I thought we had gotten the recipe wrong, but one day I realized what was missing. On that day right before dinner, I closed my eyes and imagined my dad, mum and grandmother all sitting at the table around me. Then I placed the pasta on my fork and slowly put it in my mouth. It tasted perfect. From that moment, I realized the secret was, of course, what it had always been: Love!
