Learning languages has many advantages, such as feeling confident when travelling abroad, making friends (international), being able to read books in the original (原版的), and a lot more, like studying and working in other (country). Most people live under the stereotype (刻板印象) that they lose (they) learning abilities with age. However, if (face) with a challenge when there is no other way except to learn the new foreign language, adult people can show great results. Before (decide) how to learn a new language, the first thing is to decide in which situation the language is to be used.

If the target is, for example, (travel) or find new business at some international events, a course focusing speaking practice is recommended. The basic vocabulary and conversational structures (结构), studied and practised heavily during a short period of time, may lead to the needed result, which might be the ability to communicate on the streets or support small business talk. Usually, the two or three months of study are enough to start communicating. However, if brought back shortly to the usual environment, the person might lose the majority of knowledge if there would not be any supporting practice afterwards. Unfortunately, without practical usage further development, the language abilities may go away as easily as they came. The language cannot (learn) once and forever.

When I was a little boy, I, together with my dog Doobie and parents, lived across a river from the main road. The only way to get to our house was across an aged, wooden1. We also lived right next to Camp Caesar which hosted summer camps throughout the season. One of the highlights was its public swimming pool. I have vivid memories of2 almost every day of my summers at that pool, arriving as soon as it3 at 1 pm and staying until its closure at 5 pm.4 my brothers and a lot of my friends would be there, too. We had so much fun laughing, playing, swimming and splashing (戏水).

One time,5, I went to the pool only to find it was packed with6. None of my friends were present but some older parents with their little children. I stayed for a short while but felt a sense of7. So, I decided to8 early and began walking home. As I approached the wooden bridge, suddenly I saw my friend who was never9 at the pool. He stood on the bridge with a big smile and a wagging (摆动)10. It was my beloved dog Doobie, patiently11 for my return. Overwhelmed with joy, I12 across the bridge to embrace him, and together we hurried down to the13 near our house to have a swim. We jumped into the cold, clear water, swimming playfully alongside each other. We splashed, played and chased. Doobie happily14 my loneliness with his doggie kisses and gentle love.

The summers in my childhood flew by so fast. During all of those15 spent swimming as a boy, I remember that day the most.

Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast-food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放).

More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled "low climate impact". Another group received a menu with red meat items-burgers labeled "high climate impact". A third control group received menus without climate labels.

Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. "These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting", says Wolfson.

While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive "low climate impact" labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to "high climate impact" labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is.

"An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them." Wolfson says, "So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins' for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices."

To be honest, it wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can't tell you the number of times that I heard, "Bob, if you'd just change your attitude, you would do a lot better." At that time, I didn't know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!

Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this "cause and effect" relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They're in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.

You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brande once said, "Act as if it were impossible to fail," and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don't wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.

In September, Ryder's father, Tim, put up a patio (露台) umbrella at the end of his driveway to provide some shelter. However, with the wind and rain here in New England, it didn't help much and Ryder still got wet and cold. Desperately, Tim who runs an electronics company, placed a post on Facebook, turning to his community to see if anyone could have an old bus hut (棚) which helps to protect Ryder from the bad weather.

After knowing about Ryder's problem, three local students in Bradford, Rhode Island, decided to build a new bus hut for Ryder during their construction lessons, worrying that snow would be falling soon and Ryder would have a rough time. They worked hard on the project for several weeks, learning new skills through YouTube to create the structure. About $300 worth of wood was donated and the rest of the materials were purchased by Tim for $600. The hut was so huge that it could accommodate both Ryder and one of his parents or a nurse comfortably, and was finally delivered to their home six weeks later on November 2.

"We were shocked. It was much bigger than we expected. Ryder loved it. He did like to go out in it every day before school," Tim said. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the bus shelter and thanked the teens for their hard work. This project brought his community together, showing that there is kindness in this world.

When she was just 17, Brittany Trilford (invite) to speak to world leaders about climate (气候) change. She said they should stop talking and act now (make) real changes. Brittany wanted to protect the (beautiful) environment she lived in-an environment that would be (serious) influenced by climate change. She wanted world leaders to know that young people felt angry because world leaders were not doing enough to protect the environment for future generations (几代人).

She (hope) that governments around the world would understand they needed to do and think of new and much (good) laws to help the serious situation. Young people didn't want more promises, they wanted action. They wanted to see (they) results. Promises were not enough.

One thing we all know now is that we are destroying (破坏) our environment. There is no Planet B, so please, let's all look this one. Brittany Trilford has done amazing (thing). It's our turn now.

A bike trip is a great way to explore nature and enjoy time with friends. To make it a (有趣) and safe experience, you need to plan ahead.

Start by checking your bike. A helmet helps you ride more safely, especially on busy roads.

Many students are (等待) for the weekend to start their first group ride. If you have (骑行) only around your neighborhood before, a longer trip may feel new and exciting.

Last (星期六), I joined a trip with my cousin. Before we left, we watched several (视频) online. We learned what to bring, how to save energy, and how to ride in a group.

It's okay to ride in the cold, but avoid going out in bad (天气), like heavy rain or strong wind.

Don't start a long trip (除非) you are ready. Pack water, snacks, and a small repair kit.

Bike trips may (听) easy, but with good planning, they become safe and enjoyable adventures.

Next Friday, our school will have a book sale for poor children. class is getting ready for it these days. Our English teacher gave us some useful about how to work well as a team. She said we check the books carefully before bringing them to school. Each of us will make our card with the name and price of a book on it. On that day, a long table will be placed the library. We hope to enjoy while helping others. In the afternoon, we together and share our feelings about this special activity.

Our house was noisier since my stepsister and stepmother moved in — Jen and Mum. I called her Mum, but the word felt1 — I still missed my own mother, who passed away long ago. So much had changed.

"Would you take Jen skating?" Dad gently pushed her forward.

"I guess." I sighed, remembering2 my dad taught me to build a snowman on Thanksgiving—step by step, with so much care.

"Thanks. We'll make that snowman later," he3.

"Here!" Mum offered some cookies as we took our skates. "No, thanks," I turned without looking at her. I still couldn't help feeling it was4 who changed everything.

Out in the street, it was freezing. Jen and I just walked5. It was so quiet that I had to say something, "Did you often go skating?"

Jen6 her head. "Not really. Mum and I always visited lovely turkeys on a farm."

"No turkey farms here," I replied. "Too cold."

Jen sighed, looking at me7.

Until then I realised that I never cared how8 Jen was. She not only had a new stepbrother and a stepfather, but a new town and home. She had more9 than me.

Suddenly, I didn't feel sorry for myself10 I got something more important to do—thinking of some way to help Jen.

Soon Jen and I were back in our yard, playing with snow. We made a small snowball and topped it11 a bigger one as the head and the body of a snow turkey.

Then Jen built a fan behind it, making a perfect tail.

Our parents came out. Jen ran to them, laughing, "Can you tell what it is?"

"Certainly," smiled Mum. "It's the biggest snow turkey I've seen."

Mum came up. "Thanks for12 Jen." She tied a scarf around me. Something warm touched me and I began understanding how much she cared about13 in our new family.

Our neighbours stopped by, "Did you make that yourselves?"

"Yep. It's a family14," I answered, and Dad smiled.

Yes. A tradition was just what our new family needed. It was already helping to15 all of our different pieces together.

Life keeps changing. While some changes are exciting, others may make us feel nervous. ________ Whether you like them or not, changes cannot be avoided. Having a good understanding of them may make it easier for us to deal with changes.

What are life changes?

Many new things happen in life. Some are good choices you make, like joining a team or meeting friends. ________ They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or the death of your beloved one. Smaller changes might include having a new teacher or adapting to parents' new work schedules. All these can create strong emotions, but that's normal.

________

Changes can be difficult because we can't predict results. Emily Hanlon, a psychologist (心理学家), says, "Our brains like familiar things because they feel safe. When something changes, like starting a new school or moving to a new home, it can feel like stepping into the unknown. This makes us anxious because we don't know what's coming." Changes can also be hard if you don't feel quite ready for them or you are not in control of whatever is happening.

Can change be a good thing?

________ Trying new things helps discover what you like and dislike, such as tasting new ice cream flavors to find favorites. Changes also help us grow and learn skills. Hanlon says, "Though changes can be scary, they often bring new experiences, friendships, and strengths. So face the changes and believe in yourself."

So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn't come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn't go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time, many scientists didn't even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn't see much need to explore the deep sea.

However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered.

Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing. Everything is completely dark, and the pressure is much greater than that on the surface.

Though we have the difficulties, it's important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth's temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O₂) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.

Visitors could spend days exploring China's ancient treasures. These places of interest are amazing, but what really attracts tourists is the perfect mix of old tradition and modern culture, especially through movies like Ne Zha 2—a popular cartoon film which has made people interested in China's traditional stories and how they are being told in a new and modern way.

In December 2024, China made it much easier for people from 54 countries to visit without a visa. They can now stay for up to 10 days. With a 112% increase in visa-free travel in 2024, it's clear that China's travel business is doing very well. Now foreign visitors can stay to visit those popular tourist spots related to "Ne Zha"!

The success of the film has made many people interested in places shown in the story. For example, Chentangzhuang in Tianjin is connected to Ne Zha's hometown Chentang Pass in the film. Now, it is seeing a lot more tourists. This shows that movies are now an important part of how people decide where to travel. In Yibin, a city in Sichuan Province, there are ancient temples that are built to remember Ne Zha. They have attracted many people, causing a 34% rise in hotel bookings.

If you think this cultural tourism growth won't last long, think again. Programs like "China Travel with Chinese Films" are becoming more successful, and people around the world are showing more interest in popular Chinese movies like Ne Zha 2. This makes China a top choice for travellers around the world. China is not just sharing its history—it's sharing its stories, and the world loves it.

Let me give you some background. My name's Don. I'm fifteen and I go to Blueway Comprehensive School. Mike is the same age and goes to the local grammar school, but we've been friends since junior school. We've been birdwatching together since we were 11. We do it every week. We read about it and use the Internet to learn about birds, and we're members of a club for birdwatchers, too.

At 6:45 I walked to Market Cross. Soon I saw him standing on the side of the road.

"Hi, Mike. What's this about?" I asked at once.

"Just wait a moment until we're away from the crowd and I'll tell you," he answered mysteriously (神秘地). We walked over to the yard and sat on a bench.

"After this week of good weather followed by last night's storm, I thought there might be some good birds about," he said.

"And were there?" I asked. A smile played over Mike's face. "Yes, osprey (鱼鹰)." He said very quietly. "What!?" I shouted. "Osprey, and we'd better keep it secret." he said again. I sat looking at him with my mouth open.

I should explain. An osprey is a big hunting bird, which catches fish. There weren't any in Britain because they'd been hunted too much. In 1954 a pair nested in Scotland. They were protected by society because lots of people wanted osprey eggs for their collections. We've never seen one in our village.

Mike continued, "So, shall we go birdwatching tomorrow morning?"

"But do you think it'll be there?" I asked.

"Birdwatcher!" he said. By which he meant that if I was a birdwatcher, I should know that nobody could say what a bird would or wouldn't do at a particular (特别的) time.

"So, are you coming?"

"Oh…oh…all right." I said, knowing my parents would be very angry. They thought I spent too much time birdwatching.
