This past year I've been with tw lved nes at the time f their passing.The first passing，last September，was that f my belved father-in-law at 91，after his lengthy battle with Parkinsn's disease.Mre recently，I was in the rm when my dear friend Thmas Steinbeck passed away at the age f 72 after a lng battle with COPD （慢阻肺）.
There were mments when I wanted t thank them fr all they'd dne fr their lved nes，as well as humanity at large，but there were als times during their mre lucid mments when I lnged t have them answer sme deep philsphical questins.They bth knew they were dying，and because f their generus spirits，they wuld have tld me anything I wanted t knw.
In fact，Thm tld me a few weeks befre his passing that he didn't have much time left.While I knew he was struggling with his breathing，I was in denial.I tld him that he'd survived the Vietnam War and a number f health challenges，and wuld survive this setback as well.Lking back，I think he was giving me an pening t talk t him as if he were dying.
The death f these tw lved nes has taught me a lt.It taught me t be even mre mindful in the future，and carefully "listen t the messages" the dying are cnveying t me.Had I dne s，I might have had a final cnfirmatin f what I meant t these men，althugh in sme ways I already knew because they were the type f individuals wh were always pen and straightfrward with respect t what they believed in.Knwing hearing is the final sense t g，I did take the chance t tell them hw much they meant t me，and hw much I lved them，and fr that I am grateful.

Increasing evidence suggests that sitting dwn t much can put ur health at risk.Accrding t the NHS，being inactive is linked t an increased risk f type 2 diabetes，sme frms f cancer，and early death.Therefre，the NHS advises peple t "mve mre，sit less".But hw ften and fr hw lng shuld we get up and mve？
Nw，researchers based at Clumbia University，New Yrk，have an answer：taking a five-minute walking break every half an hur can ffset（抵消） sme f the harmful effects f sitting fr lng perids.The team had a grup f 11 participants sit in ergnmic（符合人体工程学的） chairs fr an eight-hur stretch，getting up nly fr bathrm breaks r their scheduled walk n a treadmill.The exercise perids tested were ne minute f walking after every 30 minutes f sitting，ne minute every 60 minutes，five minutes every 30 minutes，five minutes every 60 minutes，and n walking at all.
While sitting，the participants culd use their phnes r laptps，r read，and were given regular meals.Their bld pressure and bld sugar were checked regularly thrughut the study.
The researchers fund that any amunt f walking reduced bld pressure by 4-5 mmHg cmpared t sitting all day —a significant reductin，as ideal bld pressure is usually cnsidered t be between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg.
Additinally，walking fr five minutes every 30 minutes reduced bld sugar explded after meals by mre than 50 percent.Walking fr ne minute every 30 minutes als led t a small reductin in bld sugar spikes.Walking every 60 minutes，whether fr ne minute r five，had n effect.
"What we knw nw is that fr best health，yu need t mve regularly at wrk，in additin t a daily exercise rutine，said Diaz."While that may sund impractical，ur findings shw that even small amunts f walking spread thrugh the wrkday can significantly lwer yur risk f heart disease and ther chrnic illnesses."

Then again，as Christpher Lennertz，cmpser fr Fx's live-actin and animated feature Alvin and the Chipmunks says，"When yu wrk n a film with talking chipmunks（花栗鼠），it gives yu the freedm.t g beynd reality."
The expectatins f tday's audiences dn't allw fr the lilting（轻快的）tweeting birds f 1950s Cinderella r even the purely magical wrld that Alan Menken（cmpser f Disney's Enchanted）and Hward Ashman created in1989's The Little Mermaid.Menken recalls，"It was very clear that Hward and I were trying t hnr that traditin."
Therefre，cmpsers tday must cntinue t navigate this delicate balance，crafting scres that hnr belved traditins while develping a fresh musical vice—ensuring each nte nt nly serves the stry but als speaks directly t the heart f a cntemprary audience.
