2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Our global team spent the year researching, visiting, and vetting the entries to bring you a definitive directory of the best new restaurants.
La Semilla—Atlanta
This little tropical area serves up some of the tastiest plant-based dishes in the city. Married duo Sophia Marchese and chef Reid Trapani filled the space with unique personal touches, such as vintage decoration and hand-painted banana leaves on the bar's ceiling. Marchese selects drinks matching the place. Trapani's dishes pay honor to Marchese's Cuban heritage and his travels to Latin America. The star of the menu may be the soup made with local lion's-mane mushrooms.
Le Doyenne—Saint-Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varielies of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry's cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava—Mexico City
Scafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night's damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today's. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco's creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas—Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai? For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok's most acclaimed Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok's landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he gets ideas from King Chulalongkorn's 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients and cooking lechniques he added to the royal cookbooks.
A few years ago, we celebrated frankenstein's 200th birthday. This famous book, written by Brilish novelist Mary Shellcy (1797-1851), is rightly known as the first work of science fiction. Frankenstein is the name of a doctor who creates a creature from human body parts. The doctor's ambitions for his work are noble, but his experiment has disastrous results.
Shelley was writing in an age when science was beginning to have a great impact on the world. People had different attitudes toward science back then. Some found it inspiring—they thought of the progress medicine was making in curing common illnesses. But others found it a little frightening—it was changing life, making it a lot less familiar.
Science plays a bigger part in our lives than it did two centuries ago. Today, science has brought us great things like the internet, but also nuclear weapons, which, if used in large numbers, could kill off our species. Science still therefore creates the mixed feelings it did in Shelley's day. It's because Shelley saw both the promise and the danger of science that she's still an influence today.
In fact, he subtitle of the book, The Modern Prometheus (普罗米修斯), shows how important myth (神话) was to the writer. Prometheus, a figure from classical Creek mythology, written by ancient Creek playwright Sophocles, steals fire from the gods and gives it to people, an act for which he is terribly punished.
Shelley's husband, the famous poet Percy Shelley, wrote about him in Prometheus Unbound. In the poem, he is a revolutionary hero, who triumphs over the gods. In Mary Shelley's book, however, her modern Prometheus, Dr Frankenstein, is a highly controversial figure, who sacrifices his home and life for his crazy addiction to his creation.
In short, Mary Shelley's book is not just a scary and moving slory, but a philosophical tale that, even after 200 years, still speaks to modern readers.
For a long time, geologists have been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth's history-a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting (漂) , leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain.
But where did Argoland actually go?
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments (碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn't really disappeared but survived as a "very extended and fragmented collection" under the islands to the east of Indonesia.
Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent's geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.
Tracking the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island's wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find marsupials and cockatoos—animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.
Scientists have discovered a new way of administering oxygen to the blood which could allow people to stay alive without breathing. The proccdure, which works by injecting oxygen molecules (分子) enclosed in fauly molecules directly into the bloodstream, could extend an extra 30 minutes of life when they cannot breathe.
John Kheir, a doctor of the Boston Children's Hospital, was inspired to begin his groundbreaking research after he experienced a patient's tragic death, according to Science Daily. He was operating on a young girl whose pneumonia led to deadly brain damage after doctors were unable to place her on a breathing machine in lime to save her.
In response, Dr Kheir started working on the idea of inserting oxygen directly into the blood. Early experiments showed that the intervention could in theory be very successful, he said, "We drew each other's blood, mixed it in a test tube with the microparticles, and watched blue blood turn immediately red, right before our eyes. IIowever, injecting pure oxygen into the bloodstream in gas form failed miscrably when it was allcmpled 100 years ago, as it formed dangerous bubbles in he veins (静脉) .
Much of Dr Kheir's research therefore involved finding a substance which could surround the oxygen and allow it to be suspended in a liquid for injection into the body. He found that using fatty molecules was the best way to keep oxygen after using sound waves to trap the two substances together into small particles that can only be seen with the help of a microscope. The particles were then made up into a liquid which is very heavily oxygenated—carrying "three to four limes the oxygen content of our own red blood cells", according to Dr Kheir.
When used on humans, the oxygen could probably last for up to 30 minutes, though injecting it for any longer could damage the patient's blood. "This is a short-term oxygen substitute—a way to safely inject oxygen gas to support patients during a critical few minutes," Dr Kheir said. He added that he thought the technique could become routine for doctors dealing with emergency situations.
Choosing a major in college is an important decision. It's one of the first big independent decisions of your academic and professional life. Here is some practical advice.
To begin with, don't choose a major merely based on money, otherwise mistakes will happen. Can you see yourself investing the next 40 years in this career without gelling bored? Actually choosing a major with high-paying career won't guarantee you a high-paying job. It depends on position openings and your competitors when you graduate.
You want to pick something that interests you, but you need to be sure you won't get sick of it as time progresses. A hobby is a pursuit outside one's regular occupation for relaxation while passion comforts you and drives you crazy at the same time. It isn't relaxing. It inserts itself into your life. When you choose to study your hobby and build your life around it, it can lose its appeal and won't be relaxing.
Additionally, never choose a major by feeling instead of research. Being interested in a major isn't enough. Researching the field will ensure you to choose a right major. If you know someone in the field, ask them for some information. Besides, consider the entire journey you'll pursue-the coursework, the major demands, the school time you'll need, and the available job prospects.
Lastly, don't always depend on your parents. The opinions of your family aren't something to ignore. If anyone wants to help you in choosing a major and you completely agree with their opinions, then go with it. But if you want your future to go in any other direction, speak up. The only way to get the best outcome is to shape your own future.
A. However, the choice is ultimately yours.
B. Next, a hobby is never meant to be your priority.
C. Besides, keep a balance between hobbies and relaxation.
D. Typically, people will confuse their hobbies with their passions.
E. You should also consider your passions, dislikes, and happiness.
F. Remember collcgc is an investment of both your lime and money.
G. If you're passionate about a major after research, follow your heart.
An extreme sport like BMX (Bicycle Motocross) may not be the first thing that comes to mind to help overcome a mental health condition. However, that is 1 what enabled Nikita Ducarroz to fight her fears.
As a child, Ducarroz spent every 2 moment on the soccer field. But at 13, the talented athlete began to suffer from 3 anxiety attacks that made it hard for her to leave home.

Though she still suffers occasional 12 attacks, Ducarroz now knows how to manage them. To help others with mental health conditions, Ducarroz has started an Instagram page called MindTricks. It is where people discuss their fears 13 .
"MindTricks started because of my own 14 that I was making on Instagram about mental health, "she explained. "And I thought, 'Why don't we create a place where others can do the same, a central spot where everyone can read about these stories and also feel 15 to share their own stories? '"

I will always remember the time when my friend Jeff Holstrom told me about his family. His father, a successful physician, cold and strict in Jeff's words, had firm beliefs that a person would never make a valuable contribution to the world unless they attended and graduated from college by the age of twenty-three. His father had even paved the way for Jeff to attend the same college from which he had graduated.
Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company—without a degree. His passion was skiing. When he graduated from high school, he decided to decline his father's offer and, instead, to work with a ski patrol (滑雪巡逻队) . With pain in his eyes, Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort. Hearing Jeff's decision, his father looked off into the distance. Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff's mind："You lazy kid. No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college. Don't come back in this house until you have enough self-respect to use the brains Cod gave you and go to school！"The two had not spoken since that conversation.
Later, he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college. He was doing this for himself, not for his father. Jeff's sister had always remained supportive of Jeff's decisions. She stayed in contact with their father, but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with him.
The day of the graduation ceremony came, I walked around talking to people before it started. I noticed a man with a confused expression.
"Excuse me," he said as he politely approached me. "What is happening here today? "
"It's graduation day, " I replied, smiling. "Well, that's odd, " he said, "my daughter asked me to meet her al this address." His eyes sparkled and he smiled.
"Maybe she completed her associate's degree (副学士学位) and wanted to surprise me!"
I helped him find a scat.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
As I left him, he said, "Thank you. By the way, my name's Dr. Holstrom. "
Jeff was the last person to step onto the stage.
