"Love you, laoji" is a catchphrase now. Literally, "laoji" means "the old self". Although calling ourselves this way is a bit funny, it makes us feel warm at heart. It's like (talk) to a good old friend—relaxed and caring. (ring) in the New Year, here are some tips for you to love laoji more in the coming year.

Don't chase perfection. Waiting to be perfect often (mean) never starting. Many people put things off because they're afraid of making mistakes. doing something imperfect is better than doing nothing at all. Start small. Learn as you go. The first step matters most.

Take real rest. Real rest isn't sleeping all day staying up late on your phone. That only makes you more tired. Try active rest--gentle (activity) that help your body and mind recover. Feel the sunshine, go for a walk, stretch a little, or listen music you like. Choose one or two small things each day to recharge (充电).

Talk to yourself (kind). Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. When things go wrong, don't be too hard on laoji. Try saying, "It's okay," or "I'll try again next time." Treat (you) the way you would treat a good friend.

Truly loving "laoji" is very simple: eat hot meal when you are hungry, have a good rest when you're tired, don't be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes, and accept the imperfect daily life.

Avery's Helpful Hair Kits is an organization that aims to support children in homeless shelters with textured and curly hair by (提供) them with basic hair care products. It was (创办) by an 11-year-old girl, Avery Jenkins, who wants to help these children look their best.

When she was 6, her mom asked her if she could give some of her hair products to a child in homeless shelters. While (准备) the products, she gained a new idea on hair. She saw how challenging it could be for some people to do their hair in a way that made them feel (自信的). Since she really loves her hair and enjoys experimenting with (各种各样的) styles, she wanted any kid with hair like hers to have that same opportunity. (事实上), it started as a GoFundMe page. As support came in, the (项目) grew, and they used the donations to create complete hair kits.

"The most (有意义的) part is being able to give back and really help others. Even though I'm a kid, I know I can make a big difference." she said. She also (鼓励) other people to dream something and go for it. She believes that (令人惊叹的) things can happen if you follow your dreams, stay devoted, and put in the effort.

On Oct 24, a middle school in Gaomi, Shandong province, held a fall sports festival themed "Value Food, Build Dreams."

Some students as farmers, showed different kinds of crops and performed a harvest dance. Some brought DIY farming. Some dressed like vendors selling vegetables. Teachers even real farm machinery onto the playground.

these creative activities, students learned what daily rural life was like. It also helped them appreciate hard work and taught them to save food and money.

"Not at the table, Leo," his father said gently but4. "Let's just talk."

Leo sighed and put his phone away. He felt a bit5. What could they possibly talk about? He stared at his plate, counting the seconds.

Seeing his disappointment, his mother smiled. "Why don't we all6 the best and worst part of our week?"

Leo thought it was a childish game. But with nothing else to do, he7. His mother went first, talking about a funny mistake at work. Then his8 shared a story about helping a lost neighbor.

When it was Leo's9, he hesitated. He planned to say "nothing much."10 then, he remembered the math test he finally passed11 struggling for weeks. He mentioned it quietly.

To his surprise, his parents' faces lit up with great12. "That's wonderful, son! We knew you could do it!" his father said, clapping him on the back.

The conversation continued. They13 dreams, books, and even the silly thing their cat did. Leo found14 laughing, really laughing. He wasn't checking the time anymore. He was15 enjoying himself at that moment.

Later, as he helped clear the table, Leo realized something. For the past hour, he hadn't thought about his phone once. The dinner, which he had thought would be endless, flew by. He felt a warm connection he hadn't felt in a long time.

How to Build Better Habits

A good habit can help us work efficiently. To build better habits, you can try these three methods.

________ Need to turn your entire routine upside down to develop a good habit? No, it's more likely to leave you feeling tired. So, start by deciding which habit you want to build and breaking it into small steps. For example, if your goal is to walk 10,000 steps every day, start at 2,000 or 5,000 steps, depending on your physical activity level, and gradually work your way up.

Make good habits easy. Making a habit convenient makes you much more likely to stick with it. ________ So, if you're trying to form a good habit, make sure to set up your environment in a way that reduces obstacles (障碍) and makes it convenient and easy. For example, if you want to get into the habit of jogging in the morning, prepare your workout clothes the night before.

________ Mark each day you follow through with the habit in a diary, a habit tracker app, or a calendar, which can help you stay motivated and accountable. Also, don't forget to celebrate progress and even the smallest achievement. ________

①Are you a curious person? If you're often thirsty for learning more about something, then you probably are. But as American researcher Perry Zurn points out, ________. There are at least three styles of curiosity: "busybodies," "hunters" and "dancers."

② "Busybodies" like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics. They're not chasing (追求) any certain goal. Rather, they're just interested in the world around them. "Hunters," however, go after specific (具体的) answers. They follow a clear path to reach their goals. "Dancers" jump at new ideas or combine (结合) old ones in new ways. They prefer to take the road less traveled.

③Zurn and his team went on to see how these curiosity styles play out in real life. They focused on the readers of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia (维基百科). Their research included 482,000 people from 50 countries. For each person, the team looked at how many different topics he or she read about and how closely those topics were connected. For example, did someone look up Pierre Perifel and then read about his new film, The Bad Guys 2? Or did he or she jump from the film director to pu' er tea?

④The results showed that all three types of curious minds exist (存在) among today's internet users. "Busybodies" read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. "Hunters" cared more about science and technology. Interestingly, they were more likely to feel stressed after their curious hunt than the other two types. That's probably because they had a stronger drive to fill in the blanks in their knowledge.

⑤Zurn says we are each born with a natural curiosity style. However, our style isn't set in stone. We can develop the other two styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently. That's good news. After all, curiosity works best when all three styles exist in one mind.

①Imagine walking through a quiet Australian grassland. Suddenly, you hear a tiny, strange "Ooom" sound. That sound might belong to one of the rarest birds in the world—the Plains-wanderer (领鹑)! Scientists in Australia have just used AI to locate these birds. This discovery will help protect the endangered birds.

②Plains-wanderers are tiny, only about 15 centimeters tall. When they feel frightened, they crouch down (蹲下) to hide or run instead of flying. "There is no bird like it in the world." said a scientist. They are very picky about their habitats (栖息地). These tiny birds live in grasslands, but not just any grassland. There can't be too much grass or too little. For this reason, scientists sometimes call them the "Goldilocks" of animals.

③Plains-wanderers used to be common in eastern Australia. But over the years, farms and cities have taken over their home. Now, there are only 250 to 1,000 birds left in the wild.

④To protect these rare birds, scientists first needed to know where they were. They worked together and decided to "listen" for the birds. Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual "Ooom" sound, and this was the key to locating them.

⑤The researchers set up 35 recording devices to catch these sounds. The devices collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings. Humans could not check all of it, so the team used AI to help. The AI detected (识别) calls from two locations, and scientists later confirmed (证实) the findings. One scientist said it felt like "finding gold." It is the first time in over 30 years that the bird has been found west of Melbourne.

⑥Now, scientists will work with landowners to protect these birds and their grasslands. And they are still listening, hoping to find even more of these "Goldilocks" birds.

My trip to China felt like a fantasy movie. I had read comments online about trips to China before, yet the travelling experience still surprised me.

My first big surprise happened in Suzhou. Many people call Suzhou the "Venice of the East," so I pictured a small town with quiet canals (运河). As soon as I stepped out of the railway station, I was ________. Suzhou was so huge and modern! Tall glass buildings stood beside old waterways and wooden boats. It felt strange to see both a "village" and a "city" in one place. This contrast made me look at the city with fresh eyes.

Later, I saw an even stronger contrast in Beijing. The hutongs showed the traditional side of the city. These narrow alleys were crowded and full of life. A short walk away, modern skyscrapers rose into the sky. People say many hutongs are disappearing each year. How lucky I was to visit them!

After these surprises, I faced a challenge: the language barrier. Simple words like "toilet" or "passport" were not always understood. Translation apps became my closest friends. They helped most of the time, though sometimes the results were funny.

Still, I met people who spoke fluent English in the most unexpected moments. A stranger at the Summer Palace helped me during heavy rain. A young man in an Apple Store in Shanghai sounded like a native speaker. Sometimes, I almost forgot I was abroad. These moments showed a friendly side of China.

In the end, this trip gave me many stories to remember. I enjoyed every moment, and I really can't wait to go back to China!

Do you often buy new clothes just because they are fashionable? What will you do with your old or unused clothes? Just throw them away? Or put them into the rubbish bin? These clothes go into landfills. This is bad for our world. Here is how YOU can help!
