A
Film︱The Pixar theory of labor
“Pixar has created many films for children by using self­actualization(自我实现)—of characters branching out，embracing freedom hitting personal goals，and living their best lives.But this self­actualization is almost specially expressed in terms of labor，resulting in a film that combines individual success with continuing work.” (James Douglas,2,250 words)
Music︱How to listen to music
The great musician Nico Muhly discusses what to listen for in a new piece of music.“Some music starts with a tiny beginning and then it is developed into a larger structure.I feel like Thomas Adès's music is like that.There is other music like John Adams's where it is an atmosphere，and you know that if you weren't there，it would still happen.” (Nico Muhly,1,340 words)
Food︱Standards of taste
Is cooking an art like music or painting? Perhaps it was something served in the 18th century and then forgotten.But great art is timeless.Let's use modern science to recover the ingredients，flavors and techniques of past ages，and reconstruct great dishes.(Jill Neimark,2,700 words)
Art︱The feeling of finishing
When the artist stops working on a painting，the painting is finished.The artist doesn't intend to stop working if the painting is unfinished.However，“Things can get in the way: an artist's attention wanders，a better idea appears，and the money just runs out.Sometimes history interferes(干涉)．The enemy is at the door and the work must be abandoned.” (Marion Coutts,870 words)
