33、seasoning （调味）.They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter. This digital seasoning technology could help food manufacturers and restaurants to reduce the amount of salt they put into food without lelinquishing taste.They work by delivering pulses of electr

34、icity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the tastebuds（味蕾）.Dr Nimesha Ranasinghe, an assistant professor who led the work on the electric cutlery, said, This technology is aimed at creating a virtual taste sensation.Some Chinese takeaway food and ready meals were recently found to contain up to 1

35、1 times more salt than a bag of crisps more than half of an adulfs daily allowance. Salt is known to be linked to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.But using a pair of electric chopsticks could help cut salt levels without influencing the taste, said Dr Ranasinghe. The technology

36、, which Dr Ranasinghe initially developed while at the University of Singapore, works by installing two electrodes （电极）into each chopstick or the end of a spoon. These electrodes send a weak current through the tip of the tongue when they touch it to stimulate the taste buds.By controlling the frequ

37、ency and strength of the electric current, the researchers can stimulate either sourness, saltiness or bitterness.

Make your food taste saltier by using a pair of electric chopsticks.D Reduce the amount of salt in your food to avoid health problems.DWhat does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psych

42、ology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these arent the only options?In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater

43、attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous.After all, both

44、happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesnt necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider

Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and n

Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% inSingapore to 16.8% in Germany.These numbers went up when the

48、desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer.These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a siz
