As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's famous for its deep blue waters and amazing waterfalls like the Seven Sisters. The best way to see its beauty up close is a two-hour boat tour, which costs about 300 NOK per adult.

Skansen Open-Air Museum (Stockholm, Sweden)

If you love history and culture, go to Skansen Open-Air Museum — the world's first open-air museum. It shows what Swedish life was like from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Inside, you can walk through old farmhouses, watch traditional crafts like weaving, and even meet gentle animals such as moose — all for free. But adults need to pay an entry fee of 180 SEK: kids under 7 get in for free. Visit from May to October, when the museum's outdoor exhibits are fully open.

Santa Claus Village (Rovaniemi, Finland)

Located right on the Arctic Circle, this village is known as Santa Claus "official home." Here, you can take photos with Santa (about 25 EUR per person, and reservations are recommended), send postcards with special Arctic Circle stamps, and even step across the clearly marked Arctic Circle line for a fun souvenir. November to February is magical: the village is covered in snow, filled with a cozy Christmas feel, and you might even see the Northern Lights.

The doctor told Leo he needed to rest for two months. "No more running for a while," the doctor said gently. Leo felt his heart sink. He sat on his bedroom floor that night, staring at his track shoes. "I'll never make it to the meet now," he whispered to himself. His mom noticed his sadness and sat down next to him. "Challenges don't stop dreams, Leo," she said. "They just test how much you want them."

Leo thought about his mom's words. Instead of giving up, he decided to work hard — even while he couldn't run. He did stretching exercises to keep his leg strong, watched videos of top runners to learn their techniques, and helped his teammates hand out water during practice. When his leg finally healed, Leo returned to the track. At first, he was slow — much slower than before. But he didn't get discouraged. He ran a little farther each day, and his coach praised him for his hard work.

The city sports meet arrived in late May. Leo stood at the starting line of the 800-meter race, his hands slightly shaking. The whistle blew, and the runners took off. Leo kept a steady pace, remembering all the techniques he'd learned. In the last 100 meters, he felt a burst of energy. He ran as fast as he could, passing two runners before crossing the finish line. He didn't win first place — he got third — but when he looked up, he saw his mom and coach cheering loudly.

"I did it," Leo said with a smile. He realized that winning wasn't the most important thing. What mattered was that he never gave up, even when things were hard. From that day on, Leo knew he could overcome any challenge — one step at a time.

A 2024 survey by China's CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) found that 78.6% of Chinese adults use electronic devices (like phones or tablets) before sleep. Even 46.3% of people over 55 have this habit. Data also points out that some groups are more likely to do so: people aged 18-28, office workers who often work overtime, and older adults who use social media to keep in touch with family. Besides, those who stay up late, struggle to fall asleep, or rely on phones for fun are also more likely to use phones before bed.

The health risks of using phones before bed are clear and affect many areas. A 2023 study by the WHO (World Health Organization) showed that people who use phones for just 30 minutes before bed have a 127% higher risk of insomnia than those who avoid screens one hour earlier. A Norwegian survey of 45,000 young people further proved that each extra hour of night-time phone use increases the risk of insomnia by 59% and cuts sleep time by 24 minutes.

Beyond poor sleep, there are more health risks. A 2023 study by Peking Union Medical College revealed that adults over 55 who use phones before bed scored 38.7% lower in memory tests — this is like their thinking ability aging 7 to 10 years. A 2024 study in the Journal of Cardiology also found that this habit raises the risk of heart disease by 28.5%.

Even "protective" tools like blue light glasses don't work perfectly. A 2025 study noted that while these glasses reduce eye strain, scrolling through phones still delays sleep by 48 minutes. Worse, the harm isn't temporary: long-term late-night phone use can disturb the body's circadian rhythm (the body's natural sleep-wake cycle) for weeks, even after the habit is stopped. The main cause is the blue light from screens, which cuts down melatonin (褪黑素) production by 67.3%, making 8 hours of rest equal to only 4 hours of quality sleep.

AI's influence is also strong in the stock market. AI-related stocks have risen nonstop to hit all-time highs, a clear sign that the capital market is mostly optimistic about AI's future. In China, integrating AI into production and daily life has become a key national plan. Later, the State Council released a document on the "AI+" action. This plan aims to mix AI with all industries over 10 years, split into three stages covering six major areas, and its goal is to build a new intelligent social and economic structure.

A survey this year found 53.1% of people feel excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and only 11% hold negative views. Most believe AI will change life like the mobile internet did. Since China launched the "Internet+" plan 10 years ago, the internet has developed widely, driving industrial upgrades, consumption shifts, and better living conditions.

But technology is a double-edged sword. Many worry AI "workers" may take human jobs; some experts warn over-reliance on AI for thinking could weaken human critical thinking and creativity. A study by MIT even showed AI users have weaker neural connections than those who don't use such tools. AI also faces urgent issues: its "black box" makes output hard to predict, and "model hallucinations" produce wrong content. Still, AI is key to global competition — no innovation-powered country wants to miss this chance. As we welcome its development, we need to "fasten our seat belts." Luckily, China's plan puts "safety and control" first, suggesting stronger measures to prevent misuse.

Leaders like OpenAI's Sam Altman and China's Unitree Robotics founder Wang Xingxing agree: AI needs time to develop and will reshape the world step by step.

The word "breakfast" means "breaking the fast" after a night without eating. Breakfast provides a perfect opportunity to refill these used-up resources, such as protein and calcium (钙). Scientific studies often support this idea. They show a link between eating breakfast and better weight management. One large study found that breakfast eaters typically had a lower BMI.

However, the issue is more complex. Some experts believe other factors are more important. Professor Alexandra Johnstone, for instance, suggests that people who often don't eat breakfast are usually less likely to know about good nutrition (营养). They are also more likely to exercise regularly and avoid harmful habits like smoking.

In fact, skipping breakfast is part of a popular eating pattern. This eating pattern has been shown to offer benefits like improved blood sugar control and lower blood pressure.

So, what should we do? The answer may be different among people. For others, skipping it might suit their bodies better. What truly matters is keeping a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle overall seems to be far more important than focusing on any single meal.

A. They never miss their breakfast to stay in good shape.

B. While we sleep, our bodies use stored nutrients for repair.

C. For some, a morning meal provides energy and prevents overeating later.

D. This is mainly because they tend to burn fewer calories.

E. Meanwhile, breakfast eaters may lead a healthier lifestyle in general.

F. This has led many health experts to actively recommend a healthy breakfast for weight control.

G. Interestingly, skipping breakfast isn't always viewed negatively.

A cute toy named Labubu is becoming a famous symbol of Chinese popular culture. Labubu has rabbit ears and a big grin. It is a collectable toy has won the hearts of many people around the world.

Although Labubu (be) on the market for a few years, its sales really saw a huge increase in 2025. Its Chinese maker, Pop Mart, reported that toys created $670 million in just the first half of 2025. Interestingly, about 40% of these toy sales were outside China., the doll's popularity caused some problems. In the UK, there were fights among people wanting to buy it. This situation led Pop Mart to stop selling the doll in its UK stores for a short time.

Besides toys, Chinese culture is (quick) expanding its global influence through video games. A great example is Black Myth: Wukong, a game (base) on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, which sold 10 million (copy) within just three days of its release in 2024.

Many young people think that these cultural products are (excite) and full of new ideas. They are happy (see) Chinese stories reaching a wider audience. It is important step for Chinese culture to go global.
