The guests had arrived, and the wine was warm. Once
again, I’d forgotten to refrigerate it. "Don’t worry," a friend said, "I can
chill it for you fight away."
Five minutes later she emerged
from the kitchen with the wine perfectly cooled. Asked to reveal her secret, she
said, "Easy. I poured the wine in a plastic bag and then dipped it in ice water.
After a few minutes the wine was cold. The hard part was getting it back into
bottle. I couldn’t find a funnel (漏斗), so I made a cone with wax

Hillman. A jock himself, he plays hockey four times a week, but when he isn’t
body-checking his opponents on the ice, he’s giving his mind a comparable
workout in his neuroscience and kinesiology lab at the University of Illinois.
Recently he started wondering if there was a vital and overlooked link between
