One day I took a taxi to the airport. We were driving when a black 1 suddenly ran right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes （猛踩刹车）and the taxi 2 the car by just inches! The car driver stuck his head out of the car window and3shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and 4 the guy. He was really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you do that? This guy almost hit your car and sent us to the 5 !" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "the law of the mbbish truck."

He 6 that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around with rubbish — anger, disappointment and so on. As their rubbish truck gets 7 , they need a place to empty it and sometimes they'll throw the rubbish on you.

Don't take it 8. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.9 take their rubbish and throw it to other people around you.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent 10 you take it. Love the people who treat you right, and pray for the ones who don't.

●What is a smokejumper?

Smokejumpcrs are a special type of firefighter. They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopters into areas that arc difficult to reach by car or on foot, such as the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.

●What do smokejumpers do?

At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Using basic tools, smokejumpers clear land of burnable material, like plants. They carry water with them, too. but only a limited amount.

●Who can be a smokejumpcr?

Although most smokejumpers are men, more women arc joining. Most important are your height and weight. Smokejumpers in the U.S., for example, must be 54 to 91 kilograms so they don't get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land.

Smokejumpers must also be capable of surviving in the wilderness. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture from trees.

The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumper Alexi Tishin says, "This is the best job for tough guys."

Public toilets arc known for a number of things, and they're almost all bad — dark, dirty, smelly, scary, and depending on where they're located, crowded. There's nothing worse than needing to use the restroom only to catch sight of a public toilet and then walk up to see that it s occupied （占用）.However, the first transparent （透明的）public toilets in Tokyo arc way cooler than you can imagine.

Designed by Shigeru Ban Architects, a Pritzker Prize-winning architecture company, the two new sets of transparent toilets have been built in two Shibuya parks in Tokyo. The toilets are lined with transparent glass. When not in use, the three stylish units are almost completely see-through, with purple glass for men and pink for women, as well as a yellow unit （br changing babies. The real trick, however, comes when you enter and lock the doors.

Nobody wants to have people watching them while lhey're doing their business. When you lock the doors, the glass panels turn opaque to provide privacy. When the door is unlocked, the glass becomes transparent once again.

"This allows users to check the cleanliness and whether anyone is using the toilet from the outside says a statement on the project's official website, Tokyotoilet.jp. At night, the toilets lights up the park like a beautiful lantern "

It remains to be seen whether people in Tokyo will decide that these new and improved restrooms arc worthy of use, but I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to spend some time in them.

Shenzhen is pushing forward on its mass vaccination campaign （大规模疫 Ul 接种）against CO'ID-19. But ho\x arc the vaccines being stored, transported and handed out before citizens get them? A reporter with Shenzhen Special Zone Daily might provide you with the answer.

At 2 a.m., a temperature-controlled vehicle filled with vaccines drove into Sinopharm s logistics center in Longhua District.

After the unloading, the workers of the center first checked the vaccines carefully. They must make sure the vaccines were stored within the temperature range of 2 C-8 C all the way. Then the vaccines were sent to a special storehouse with the same temperature range. Boxes of vaccines were placed on pallets to avoid direct contact with the ground, as that might affect the storage temperature of the vaccines.

"Each vaccination site has made a plan fbr vaccine usage one or two days ahead of time, and the vaccines are sent to the sites across the city by temperature-controlled vehicles,'' said Xie Xu, head of the immunization program of Shenzhen Center. Disease Control and Prevention.

At 9:25 a.m., the COVID-19 vaccines arrived at the lobby of the Jingtian Community Health Center of Jingtian Hospital after a two-hour drive from the storehouse. During the transportation, the temperature of the vaccines was recorded every five minutes.

Chen Li, a doctor with the health center, carefully checked the vaccines, put them in a special fridge and recorded detailed information.

"We would refuse to accept the vaccines if the temperature isn't normal or the outer package has any leakage （渗漏）' said Chen.

An unusual experiment suggests that painting eyes on rear （屁股）ends of cows may help protect them from large predators like lions.

They worked with the local farmers in the Okavango area. Over 2,000 cows on !

 there were separated into three different groups. Large eyes were painted on the rear ends of one group of cows.  The third got nothing.

The eyes worked very well. Of the 683 cows with eyes painted, none were killed in the four-year period. 15 of the 835cows without ''eyes'' were killed.

The scientists were surprised to learn that even Xs seemed to give the cows some protection. Only 4 of the 543 cows with Xs were killed. The film, putting spotlight on sibling relationship, tells the story between a teenage and her younger brother after their parents died in a car crash.

The results seem to show a simple way to protect cows from lions.  For example, in the experiment, there were always cows without painted eyes. The scientists aren't sure whether the eyes would work so well if all of the cows had them.

Anyhow, the fanners are just hpy that someone is trying to help keep their cows safe.
