27、tworks.I always thought peoples taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, Id probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the worlds first pay-by-photo restaurantyou order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant
28、 belongs to frozen food giant (巨人）Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on peoples addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.

34、und the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general satisfaction. It is a cliche to say that money cant buy happiness, but the
35、 old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still believe that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been carried out on people who got sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn
36、off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to go back to the way they felt before they became rich.
