It indicates sea ice loss has the potential to trigger a cascade of adverse environmental impacts, including the fueling of wildfires and other extreme weather events that destroy homes; rising sea levels that threaten the survival of coastal communities; and drying agricultural lands that undermine our ability to produce food. The melting also accelerates global warming even further as the newly exposed ocean beneath reflects less sunlight than bright ice does.

Copernicus scientists announced that January 2025 was the warmest January on record, even though Earth had entered La Niña, the cold phase of the El Niño climate pattern. And February 2025 was the third warmest February on record. So it wasn't a record-breaker in that respect, but it did continue a worrying warming trend. February 2025 was, on average, 2.86 degrees Fahrenheit (1.59 Celsius) warmer than preindustrial levels — the estimated average temperature.

Temperatures fluctuate (波动) from year to year, so climate change doesn't mean that every new month is guaranteed to break records. And not all parts of the planet get warmer at the same rate. This February, severe winter storms affected the U.S. with record-breaking cold, and Copernicus' data revealed that a good chunk of North America was cooler than average for February. However, temperatures were mostly above average around the rest of the world. Last year was the first complete year to breach 2.7 ℉ and ended up as the hottest year on record since preindustrial levels.

The competition exposed Zhang to global craftsmanship styles. He noticed Chinese participants emphasized artistic design, while Japanese and Korean competitors focused on precision. Initially intimidated, Zhang gained confidence through this international exchange. His success stems from vocational education at Beijing Arts & Crafts Technician College, where he spent five years refining his skills. He believes vocational training helps students discover unique talents beyond traditional academic paths.

Now a teacher, Zhang adopts personalized teaching methods. He identifies students' strengths in design or craftsmanship and tailors instruction accordingly. His "learning by doing" approach prepares students for diverse careers in jewelry design, appraisal, or even social media influencing. He stresses combining technical skills with creative thinking to produce valuable works.

Zhang represents a new wave of craftsmen blending tradition with innovation. As an apprentice in filigree inlay — a national intangible cultural heritage — he merges ancient techniques like metal threading with modern jewelry structures. While traditional designs often use gemstones for luxury, Zhang creates fresh interpretations by incorporating delicate filigree patterns into nature-inspired pieces.

Currently reflecting on his five-year journey, Zhang believes his true masterpiece is yet to come. "Innovation requires systematic reflection," he says, demonstrating how modern craftsmen honor tradition while pushing creative boundaries.

The risks extend beyond simple waste accumulation. Batteries contain toxic heavy metals and electrolytes (电解质) that, if improperly disposed of, can dissolve into soil and water sources, contaminating farmland and drinking supplies for generations. Even in recycling, only 15% of global facilities use eco-friendly methods; most rely on crude processes that release harmful pollutants into the air, creating "secondary pollution" worse than the original waste.

A key obstacle is the mismatch between battery complexity and recycling technology. Modern NEV batteries use varied chemistries and designs, making standardized recycling nearly impossible. Advanced methods like hydrometallurgy, which minimize pollution, require expensive equipment and skilled labor, putting them out of reach for developing regions. Meanwhile, global regulations too distant to land true, allow unqualified operators to handle battery waste, even worsening the problem.

Addressing this requires global coordination: unified (统一的) design standards for batteries, stricter enforcement of recycling laws, and cross-border investment in green technologies. Without such steps, the NEV revolution's environmental gains could be overshadowed by a toxic legacy.

A critical challenge lies in the "asymmetrical (非对称的) cost structure." Online retailers avoid not only rent and in-store labor but also the costs of maintaining large inventories — goods in stock, as they often operate on a "just-in-time" model. This allows them to undercut physical stores by 18—45% on price, yet the gap isn't uniform: luxury goods, which rely on in-person experience, face less pressure than daily necessities. Small retailers, with limited capital to absorb price cuts, suffer most — studies show their closure rate is 3.2 times higher than that of large chains when competing with online giants.

Another subtle challenge is the erosion of "community anchor" roles. Physical stores, especially local ones, historically fostered social interactions and neighborhood identity. A 2025 survey in 20 large cities found that a 50% drop in local shop presence correlated with a 22% decrease in residents' sense of community belonging, creating indirect social costs rarely accounted for in pure economic analyses.

Counterstrategies, too, require nuance (细致入微). Successful transformation isn't just about "going online"; it's about integrating physical uniqueness with digital efficiency. For instance, some bookstores use in-store events to build customer loyalty, and then use membership data to recommend personalized online selections. Others take most advantage of their physical space as "experience hubs" — a café inside a clothing store, or a workshop area in a hardware shop — turning transactions into memorable interactions.

Notably, these strategies demand resources: staff training, data analytics tools, and flexible supply chains. This creates a "capability gap" — smaller stores often struggle to implement them without external support, such as government-funded digital literacy programs or cooperative purchasing networks. Thus, the future of the real economy depends not only on individual innovation but also on systemic support to bridge this gap.

Students on campus form groups to play campus-themed scripts, recalling their youth stories in youth narratives; white-collar workers in cities choose hardcore reasoning scripts, releasing work pressure in logical mazes. Emotional scripts help strangers break the ice quickly, while horror scripts bring people closer together through screams. These ever-changing script types adapt to the social needs of different groups of people.

Script murder is also a sharp tool for breaking the ice in social interactions. Strangers sit around the table, and under the guidance of character cards, some become literati of the Republic of China, some become knights of the Jianghu, and communicate naturally as the plot progresses. As clue cards are passed around, the awkwardness of silence is broken, and laughter and discussions intertwine, making strangers quickly become familiar.

Today's script murder stores show diversified development. Some create ancient-style real scenes, allowing players to experience the grievances (恩怨) of the Jianghu immersively in pavilions and towers; some launch holographic projections (全息投影), allowing players to experience the sci-fi world through light and shadow changes. The professional guidance of the DM (主持人) still helps players immerse themselves in the plot better; high-quality scripts always lay a solid foundation for the experience.

Whether you are a logic lover who is keen on reasoning or an empath (共情者) who prefers emotions, every time you open a script, you step into a new social dimension full of surprises and fates.

A. From campus to urban areas, script murder has set off an immersive craze.

B. Even people with social anxiety can speak freely under the cover of their roles.

C. Future developments may require government regulation.

D. The charm of script murder lies in its ability to create new social possibilities.

E. But some cores remain unchanged.

F. However, what it has brought in just a few years is far more than entertainment experience.

G. Traditional offline games are losing their appeal gradually.

"Dead to Rights," a film on the Nanjing Massacre, has stormed China's summer box office, (surpass) 1 billion yuan in just eight days since its July 25 debut. Directed by Shen Ao, the film became the first post-Spring Festival release to achieve this box office milestone and has maintained its daily box office (dominate) in China since its debut show, according to industry trackers' reports.

The film has topped daily box office charts in all provincial-level regions across mainland China for five consecutive (连续的) days through July 25. To date, it (draw) over 30 million admissions, demonstrating strong audience resonance.

"Dead to Rights" focuses a group of Chinese civilians take refuge in a photography studio during the Japanese aggressors' brutal occupation of Nanjing.

In a desperate attempt to stay alive, they (force) to assist a Japanese military photographer in developing film — only to discover that the negatives contain damaging evidence of atrocities (暴行) (commit) by Japanese forces across the city. They secretly keep the negatives and risk their lives (deliver) them to the outside world, hoping that the truth would be revealed.

"Dead to Rights" currently holds an 8.6 out of 10 rating on Douban, a key film review site. According to latest projections, "Dead to Rights" is now expected to gross over 4 billion yuan in total revenue, a further upward revision from (early) estimates. If achieved, this would make it China's second highest-grossing film of the year to date, trailing only the animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2."

Rejecting Disposable Culture, Embracing a Sustainable Lifestyle

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tom was a typical teenager, a bit rebellious and not sure what he wanted to do with his life. He often got into trouble at school and had a strained relationship with his parents. One day, his teacher suggested that he participate in a community service project to teach underprivileged children. Reluctantly, Tom agreed.

When he first arrived at the community center, he was skeptical. The children were from poor families, and their living conditions were far from what Tom was used to. But as he started to teach them basic math and reading, he saw the spark in their eyes. They were eager to learn, despite their difficult circumstances.

Over time, Tom began to look forward to his weekly visits to the community center. He realized that he had the ability to make a difference in these children's lives. He started to prepare his lessons more carefully and even brought some of his own books and toys to share with the kids.

As the months passed, Tom noticed a change in himself. He became more responsible and empathetic. He no longer took his own privileges for granted and started to appreciate the little things in life. His relationship with his parents also improved as he became more open-minded and understanding.

By the end of the community service project, Tom had a clear sense of purpose. He decided to pursue a career in education, hoping to continue to help children who are less fortunate. This experience had not only changed the lives of the children he taught but also had a profound impact on his own growth and future.
