①Why is your dog so interested in your dirty socks, even to the point of stealing and chewing (咀嚼) on them? PetHonesty, a company for dog health, may give you a better understanding of why your four-legged friend can't help but give in to those dirty socks.
②One of the main reasons is the familiar smell of their owners, which is comforting. In fact, PetHonesty says that to your dog, your dirty, smelly sock is like "a bottle filled with his favorite smell-you!" Dogs may chew on things that smell like their owners as a "comforting" way, especially if they are experiencing boredom or worries about separation.
③In addition, chewing on socks is a natural behavior for dogs. The texture (质地) of socks can be comforting to chew on, especially for baby dogs who are teething. As PetHonesty explains, "To a dog, socks are soft. They are chewy and the texture of the socks feels comforting in their mouths." This chewing excites their brains and helps keep their teeth healthy.
④Finally, dogs may see socks as valuable "resources(资源)" worth protecting or guarding. PetHonesty said that dogs see certain things as important "resources" that they believe are worth guarding with all their power. This could be especially true if the sock smells like their owner.
⑤However, chewing socks can be harmful to dogs as they might eat them and become sick. To prevent it from happening, it's important to make sure they get enough exercise and care. Dog owners should pay attention to dogs' needs to help deal with this worrisome situation.
At the 2025 Michelin Guide(米其林指南) Shanghai event, Chen Lina's dim sum(点心) restaurant, Wu You Xian, got a Michelin star. It was the first dim sum restaurant in Shanghai to achieve this honor.
Chen Lina is a national first-class dim sum chef. She sees her xiaolongbao as her "lovely children" and "works of art". At 19, she started learning at the famous Lyubolang restaurant in Shanghai. In 2005, she went to Japan. She introduced Shanghai dim sum there and made it a great success. Then, she came back to China and opened Wu You Xian in Zhaojialou, an ancient town. The name Wu You Xian comes from the Japanese word "Oishii", which means delicious, and also has a nice meaning in Chinese about freshness.
Since its opening, Wu You Xian has been very popular. Chen started with pork-filled xiaolongbao. Her love for dumplings made her create more tastes, like crab xiaolongbao. The first time she sold it, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. Over the years, Chen developed 28 tastes.
She uses very good and natural ingredients(原料). Each xiaolongbao is carefully made, weighing about 40 grams. Chen also pays attention to the vinegar(醋) for the xiaolongbao. She chooses different kinds of vinegar to match different tastes of the buns.
▲ Once, a customer told her that her xiaolongbao had made his family happy. This made Chen feel that her work was really meaningful. Wu You Xian has won many awards, but for Chen, the most important thing is that so many customers like her food. At busy times, more than 1,0oo customers come to the restaurant in one day.
①Comfort others with the words you wish to hear. I find myself speaking words of comfort and offering support easily. These words are of some help to others and to myself as well.
②When I talk to someone in trouble, I say things I wish someone had said to me. I tell them to stay strong, keep going, and that things will get better. These are the words I need to hear when I face my own challenges. Encouraging others makes me feel able to solve my own problems.
③When I give advice, I feel clearly that the worries in my mind seem to go away when I focus on someone else's needs. I realize that helping others is a powerful way to help deal with my own problems.
④When I listen to others, it helps me see my life from a different viewpoint. I understand that the strength and hope I give to others are also within me. By helping them, I help myself grow and heal(治愈).
⑤I often wonder why it's easy to give advice but hard to apply it to my own life. Maybe it's because we are our own worst critics(评论家). We doubt ourselves but believe in others. These moments teach me that everyone struggles(抗争) in their own way, and we all have the power to lift each other up. The words I share are not just for others; they are for me too. They make me know that I am not alone, I am strong, and I can get through my difficulties.
⑥The advice I give others shows my deepest hopes. It's away to connect with others and myself, finding power in shared experiences. So, continue to say the words I wish to hear, knowing they have the power to heal and encourage both others and myself.
Mike, the host of "Discover Nature" program, is hawing an interview with Mr. Wilson, a famous food scientist on honey.

Mike: Amazing! Now, I'm curious why Tutankhamen liked honey.
Mr. Wilson: Ancient people loved honey. ___ Ancient Egyptians used honey to treat wounds, burns or skin diseases. Since bacteria didn't easily grow in it, the honey could be used in a way similar to a bandage(绷带). It protected the skin while it healed.
Mike: Great insights! Thanks for sharing with us. That's the end of Discover Nature.
