Usually I make breakfast for my family Saturdays.

Wash your hands before meals， you may get ill.

BThere are millions of recipes(菜谱) hidden in the boxes and hearts of grandmother and parents. These family recipes are a special part of our family history. Some of them have been passed down from generation(一代人) to generation.I realized I couldnt go home every weekend for my moms delicious dishes, says Shreya, who is about to enter university. Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen, taking notes on how to make her masala chai and tasty kachoris.Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions, memories and feelings of family, love, and comfort, says she.She adds, I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the dishes they cooked.But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life. Even if we have time, not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents. We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper. We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there.Actually，there are simple ways to keep family recipes，Scrapbooks（剪贴薄）are easily found in the market. You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories aboutthe recipe. With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans, recording family recipes has never been easier. What is needed is to scan（扫描） the recipes and record the story behind each of them. It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family.Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger. Every time you remember your loved ones, recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you. So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life?

CToday we can do everything with apps: pay bills， order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands， However, when it comes to technology and health care， opportunities and challenges come together.Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.In addition， there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?Firstly， we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) ，who can see and tell how a patient is doing， This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.Next， sharing the details of ones life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care， where some of lifes best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.Lastly， test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website， theres room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it There is medical equipment(设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine .It seems likely that some companies will find away to explain test results.But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to —and care about—their journey story， which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool， but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Lets not allow our humanity to be one of them.
