13、 picked her up, comforted her and dried her tears. Finally,she settled like a queen on the royal throne of the birthday girl.Nine years later, we went camping. Around the campfire, Sam spoke. He spoke of the agonyhe had been feeling for almost a decade. With a deep sigh, he shared his secret. During
14、 Sophies3-year-old birthday, a fire of jealousy came from the proud and depressive guy when his positionhad been taken away by Sophie. He had waited for his moment.

18、shamed and relaxed.CThe word hobby has an interesting history, and so does the concept of the hobby itself.Cultural attitudes have changed greatly about which ones are worth pursuing, and indeedwhether having a hobby is desirable at all.It is probably safe to say that when hobby was first used in th
19、e 15th century, mostpeople didnt have one, as it referred to a particular kind of horse. A hobby was a small horsethat could “amble”(漫步）， a particularly smooth, quick gait（步态）that was prized for longrides over terrible roads. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word is a shortenedform of
20、 Hobbin, the name for a cart-horse, like Rover for a dog.The hobby also had a part in medieval folk celebrations. Mummers and Morris dancersoften included a person or two dressed up in horse costume, or pretending to ride a woodenstick with a horses head. Such hobbyhorses made popular childrens toys
21、, too. Sincehobbyhorses were the toys of young children and mime actors, “riding ones hobby-horse” orbeing “on ones hobby” became an idiom for wildly pursuing an idea or activity that lookssilly to others.Hobbies were considered slightly embarrassing, though mostly harmless, through the18th century.
22、 In the 19th century, they grew more socially acceptable as middle-class leisuretime increased. It became de rigueur for both men and women to pursue activities that wouldhave seemed strange or shallow a century before.In the early 20th century, according to historian Steven Gelber, hobbies “got rid

26、new way of the application of the word “hobby”DIn the past, video conference technology was mainly used for just a few elements of businessmeetings or hangouts with friends and family. Now, video conference tools are essential for ourproductivity, learning and social interaction. We use them not onl
27、y for fun, but mainly as ameaningful part of our work.However, once we start to join endless video calls for a few hours each day, we become verytired. This term is called “zoom fatigue”, and its related to overusing virtual communicationplatforms.There are some advantages of using video conferencin
28、g tools. Without them, it might beimpossible for us to work from home. But what we havent expected is a price that we need to payfor that sort of convenience.When we are having a face-to-face conversation with others, everything seems pretty natural.While speaking, you look into the eyes, sometimes
29、slightly moving your stare onto something else.You know when to stop talking and when to speak up. Even if youre in a conference room with 10people, you dont have a terrible feeling of being observed all the time. You notice that peoplemostly look at the person who is speaking, and then they move th
30、eir attention onto someone else.But when you use a teleconferencing tool, things are different.

Youjust see many faces on your screen.Marissa Shuffler from Clemson University on
31、ce said, “When youre on a video conference,you know everybodys looking at you; you are on stage, so there comes the social pressure afeeling like you need to perform. Being performative is stressful.”Moreover, there is another interesting tendency as far as video calls are concerned. Who areyou look
32、ing at most of the time? The answer is yourself. For most people, its hard not to look attheir own face if they can see it on the screen.
