W: Well, I was on a flight last night from New York to London that landed at 12.30am We were delayed a while in New York so that when we eventually landed, I was so tired that I accidentally left my handbag on the plane M: Did you report this to anyone last night? W No, I’m afraid not I didn’t notice until I got home and then it was really too late to phone Page of 10 M: Very well madam Let me take a few details for this form and I’ll see what I can OK, so the name was Kirsty Allen And what’s the address please?

Parker says it's because a fish is really a kind of pump But instead of pumping blood through the body, it pumps itself through water PARKER: I really believe that there's a common design scheme, there's some fundamental laws of muscular pumps that are conserved from marine life forms to the human heart HAMILTON: In 2016, Parker's lab built a stingray using rodent heart cells controlled by light This time, the team relied on stem cell technology to produce human heart cells that don't need any external control One strip of muscle is attached to the right side of the fish, the other to the left, and Parker says the strips take turns pulling the robot's tail from side to side PARKER: And once that cycle starts, one side contracts The other side is getting stretched And then that cycle goes back and forth And these things just start motoring HAMILTON: Parker says signals produced by muscles stretching perpetuate the swimming motion PARKER: The really interesting thing about these fish which we weren't expecting is how long they would swim and how fast they would swim in the dish HAMILTON: Heart cells constantly rebuild themselves about every 20 days, and Parker says these fish swam for more than 100 days PARKER: That means that each cell in there has rebuilt itself about five times HAMILTON: Lab-grown heart tissue is still years away from use in patients For now though, this sort of model system could help researchers test heart drugs, says Ritu Raman, a mechanical engineer at MIT RITU RAMAN: You really need to know, how is something built in the native context, and how can we recreate that in the lab as closely as possible? HAMILTON: Raman's lab has made robots powered by skeletal muscle, including one that could recover from an injury RAMAN: This robot would get damaged, and then we would heal it And after a couple days, it was able to produce the same force and move and walk around just as it had before HAMILTON: Raman says robots powered by living cells make some people nervous, but they shouldn't RAMAN: All you're really doing is replacing an engine or a rotor or another piece that you would make in a machine with something that's made out of cells So I would not consider them living beings HAMILTON: But Raman says as more sophisticated biohybrids come along, her view could change Jon Hamilton, NPR News Page of 10 Part (NGUỒN: Chuyên Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm – Quảng Nam) Int: Today we’re looking at careers in journalism My guests are Jenny Langdon and Peter Sharples, both regular columnists on major publications Jenny, you made your name really young, didn’t you? F: Relatively, yes I was a raw recruit on the local paper when a scandal broke concerning a celebrity living nearby Out of the blue I found myself with a scoop on my hands Basically, I found the guy, interviewed him, then hid him someplace where reporters on rival papers wouldn’t find him When the story broke next day, the editorial team had actually cobbled the front-page story together from my notes, but it was attributed to me by name Before I knew what was happening, I’d been headhunted by a national daily It was a turning point alright – but I can hardly claim it as a shrewd career move or anything! Int: And the editor at that national daily was a notoriously bad-tempered individual … F: Well, there’s no denying he deserved that reputation! I mean, having landed a dream job, I was really thrown in at the deep end! My desk was right outside his office, so I was first in the firing line if anything went wrong – even stuff I’d had no hand in! But I knew better than to argue, and was thick-skinned enough not to take it personally Anyway that’s what the paper was like, always on the edge, and I really flourished in that environment Int: Eventually getting your own daily column … F: … and that’s where I really came into my own I mean, I’d done stints on the sports desk, been celebrity correspondent – the works Actually, I only got offered the column as a stop-gap when my predecessor left under a cloud But I was desperate to hold on to it And it came at just the right time – if it’d been earlier, I’d never have had the nerve or the experience to make it my own Int: Let’s bring Peter in here You started off on the celebrity magazine called Carp, didn’t you? M: I did Ostensibly thanks to a speculative letter to the editor when I was still a student Actually, I’d been doing stuff for a student newspaper all through university Skills I learnt there stood me in good stead When Carp Magazine called me for interview, my approach to college news convinced them I was in touch with reality – you know, budgets, deadlines, all that – that’s what swung it in my favour – it wasn’t just having my finger on the pulse as far as youth culture was concerned – important as that was at Carp Int: Can I ask you both whether you’d say courses in journalism are worth doing? Jenny? F: Well, I wanted to write and a journalism course seemed a reasonable enough starting point Journalism is at least paid up front – unlike some forms of writing, and there’s no denying that was an incentive So, yes, I did one And, you know, if I hadn’t, who knows if I’d have been Page of 10 able to handle the stuff thrown at me when I first arrived at the newspaper – it does give you that grounding But I wouldn’t say it taught me everything I needed Fortunately, a stint on the student newspaper filled in the gaps M: … as is so often the case They’re often criticised for taking too strong a line on issues, but they’re invaluable because they give you that free rein, and you’re generally writing from the heart rather than for the money I’d say by all means a course, theorise all you like in the classroom, but just bear in mind that it’s no substitute for getting out there – for developing your own style Int: Now you’ve both recently published novels – is this a change of direction? F: People keep asking that I like to think that, much as I rate myself as a journalist and feel I have nothing left to prove, I’m still up for the next thing that comes along I’ll never be a prizewinning novelist, but having a go at it keeps me on my toes It would be easy enough to get stale doing a column like mine, but that does remain my grand passion – I don’t know about you Peter, but I’m hardly thinking of moving on M: Well, I expect there’s people who’d say we should stand aside to give up-and-coming writers a chance But, no, I’m not I’d go along with the idea of diversification keeping you nimble though, and I’m not making great claims for my novel either But I would take issue with the idea that journalism itself holds no further challenge I wish I had your confidence Jenny – I’m always telling myself that I’m only as good as my last piece and there’s no room for complacency Int: And there we must leave it Thank you both … Coming up now … [fade] Part (NGUỒN: Chu Văn An – Hà Nội) Over the roughly one-and-a-half millennia of its existence, chess has been known as a tool of military strategy, a (1) metaphor for human affairs, and a benchmark of genius While our earliest records of chess are in the 7th century, legend tells that the game’s origins lie a century earlier Supposedly, when the youngest prince of the Gupta Empire was killed in battle, his brother devised a way of representing the scene to their grieving mother Set on the 8x8 ashtapada board used for other popular pastimes, a new game emerged with two key features: different rules for moving different types of pieces, and a single king piece whose fate determined the outcome The game was originally known as chaturanga–a Sanskrit word for "four divisions." But with its spread to Sassanid Persia, it acquired its current name and terminology– "chess," derived from "shah," meaning king, and “checkmate” from "shah mat," or “the king is helpless.” Page of 10 After the 7th century Islamic (2) conquest of Persia, chess was introduced to the Arab world Transcending its role as a tactical simulation, it eventually became a rich source of (3) poetic imagery (4) Diplomats and courtiers used chess terms to describe political power Ruling caliphs became avid players themselves And historian al-Mas’udi considered the game a testament to human free will compared to games of chance Medieval trade along the Silk Road carried the game to East and Southeast Asia, where many (5) local variants developed In China, chess pieces were placed at intersections of board squares rather than inside them, as in the native strategy game Go The reign of Mongol leader Tamerlane saw an 11x10 board with safe squares called citadels And in Japanese shogi, captured pieces could be used by the opposing player But it was in Europe that chess began to take on its modern form By 1000 AD, the game had become part of courtly education Chess was used as (6) an allegory for different social classes performing their proper roles, and the pieces were reinterpreted in their new context At the same time, the Church remained suspicious of games Moralists cautioned against devoting too much time to them, with chess even being briefly banned in France Yet the game proliferated, and the 15th century saw it (7) cohering into the form we know today The relatively weak piece of advisor was recast as the more powerful queen– perhaps inspired by the recent surge of strong female leaders This change accelerated the game’s pace, and as other rules were popularized, (8) treatises analyzing common openings and endgames appeared Chess theory was born With the Enlightenment era, the game moved from royal courts to coffeehouses Chess was now seen as an expression of creativity, encouraging bold moves and dramatic plays This "Romantic" style reached its peak in the Immortal Game of 1851, where Adolf Anderssen managed a checkmate after sacrificing his queen and both rooks But the emergence of formal competitive play in the late 19th century meant that strategic calculation would eventually trump (9) dramatic flair And with the rise of international competition, chess took on a new (10) geopolitical importance During the Cold War, the Soviet Union devoted great resources to cultivating chess talent, dominating the championships for the rest of the century - THE END - Page 10 of 10 ...
