In the small town of Millfield, at Cedarwood Middle School, Jake, a lanky and soft-spoken boy with thick glasses, was an easy target for bullies. His passion for astronomy set him apart from his peers. Instead of playing football or video games, he spent his free time stargazing and reading books about galaxies and constellations. Every day at lunch, as Jake sat alone at a corner table, devouring a homemade sandwich and scribbling notes about the latest celestial event he'd read about, a group led by Mark, the school's self- proclaimed "cool kid," would pass by.

Mark, tall with a confident swagger, loved the attention he got from his friends. With a smile on his face, he'd lean over Jake's table and pick up his astronomy notebook. "What's this? More of your space nonsense?" he'd sneer, waving the notebook in the air. His friends would snicker, and Jake would blush, reaching out timidly to get his notebook back. "Leave me alone," Jake would mumble, his voice barely above a whisper. "Or what? You'll call your alien friends to attack me?" Mark would laugh, and the group would walk away, leaving Jake feeling humiliated.

Ms. Thompson, Jake's science teacher, noticed the situation but could only do so much to stop it during class. "Boys, be respectful," she'd say whenever she caught Mark teasing Jake. But once out of her sight, the bullying continued.

One day, the school announced a science fair with the theme "Innovation s for the Future." Students were encouraged to create projects that could change the world. Mark, seeing it as a chance to show off, immediately started planning a project with his friends. Jake, on the other hand, decided to combine his love for astronomy with his dream of making a difference. He began working on a model of a sustainable space colony, spending hours after school in the science lab, building and perfecting his creation.

When the day of the science fair arrived, students and parents crowded into the gymnasium to view the projects. Mark's group presented a flashy but rather simplistic model of a self- driving car. Jake, nervous but determined, set up his space colony model, complete with detailed explanations of how it would generate energy and recycle resources.

As the judges walked around to evaluate the projects, Mark and his friends watched with smug expressions, convinced they would win. But when the results were about to be announced, everyone held their breath in anticipation.

A freight train loaded with home appliances (depart) from Qingdao of East China's Shandong province on Tuesday morning, (push) the total number of China-Europe freight train trips past 110,000, according to China State Railway Group, operator of the service. The train, carried 55 containers filled with goods such as LCD displays and refrigerators (value) at nearly 20 million yuan ($2.75 million), is bound Moscow and expected to arrive in 17 days. this event marked a major milestone for China-Europe rail services was obvious. Since the services began in 2011, the cumulative value of goods transported via the China-Europe freight (exceed) $450 billion. the service is a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative, it underscores the high demand and resilience of the rail link. The rapidly (expand) China-Europe freight service network has become a crucial link in global supply chains.

As we gathered at the starting point on that sunny but breezy morning, we2 our bikes nervously, checking the gears and brakes one last time. "Are you sure you won't get annoyed if I3 a bit slower?" she asked, her eyes filled with a mix of excitement and worry. She had only started4 on weekends a month ago. "Of course not," I reassured her with a smile.

When the starting horn5, Lily pedaled off steadily. At first, I stayed right beside her, chatting and enjoying the scenery. But as the road opened up and the wind seemed to push me forward, my competitive side took over. I gradually6 my speed, thinking she would catch up. After a few miles, I looked back, and Lily was no longer in my line of sight. I kept going, pushing myself harder, and crossed the finish line in a7 time of just under an hour. I felt a rush of pride, despite not having trained intensively.

Lily arrived at the finish line almost twenty minutes later, her face red and tired. She was clearly8, feeling that she had let me down. I couldn't believe she thought that way. I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for even finishing the race.

Determined to improve, Lily made a plan. She decided to cycle to work three times a week and9 to participate in more cycling events. I watched her10 early in the morning, even when it was foggy or drizzling. I saw her face strong headwinds and deal with flat tires on the11 country roads. There were times when she was12 by steep hills and wanted to give up, but she never did.

Finally, the day of the big regional cycling race came. This time, I made up my mind to stay with her. We pedaled side by side, encouraging each other. When we were about to reach the finish line, Lily found some extra strength and13 ahead. She crossed the line just a few seconds before me, her eyes shining with joy and14. She had not only overcome her own self - doubt but also achieved a goal she once thought was impossible. Her15 legs from hours of cycling didn't seem to bother her at all; all that mattered was the sense of accomplishment she felt.

The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs.

Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures.

Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot.

With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home.
​​​​​​​

A. However, it's important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well.

B. Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma.

C. But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques.

D. Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches.

E. Determine the size of your garden based on the available space and the number of herbs you want to grow.

F. Also, consider the proximity to a water source, as regular watering is essential for herb growth.

G. Make sure to space the plants according to their mature size to prevent overcrowding.

These metrics are good at identifying influencers with a wide audience reach, but they struggle to distinguish between influencers who can drive actual sales and those who only generate surface-level engagement. For example, an influencer might have a high number of followers and a seemingly impressive engagement rate, but their audience may not be the right target for a particular brand's products. This means that a brand could invest heavily in an influencer campaign based on these metrics, only to see minimal return on investment.

This limitation may not be a major concern for brands that focus on increasing brand awareness in a broad sense. But for those aiming to achieve specific business goals, such as driving e-commerce sales or boosting product sign-ups, it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities.

In their current form, these effectiveness metrics have several drawbacks. First, follower count can be inflated through fake followers or bots, creating a false impression of an influencer's reach. Engagement rates can also be misleading, as some influencers may use tactics like "like-for-like" exchanges or buy fake comments to artificially boost numbers. Moreover, the concept of reach doesn't consider the quality of the audience reached. A large reach among an uninterested or mismatched audience is of little value to a brand.

To address these issues and provide brands with a more accurate understanding of an influencer's true value, several solutions can be considered. One approach is to analyze an influencer's audience demographics in more detail. Brands should look beyond basic metrics and study factors such as the age, gender, location, interests, and purchasing behavior of an influencer's followers. By doing so, they can determine whether the influencer's audience aligns with their target market.

Another key measure is to track the actual conversion rates resulting from influencer campaigns. Instead of relying solely on engagement and reach, brands should monitor how many clicks, purchases, or sign-ups an influencer drives. This data provides a more direct indication of an influencer's ability to generate business results. Additionally, brands can conduct A/B testing, comparing the performance of different influencers or influencer strategies, to identify the most effective approaches.

While these effectiveness metrics alone can't ensure the success of influencer marketing campaigns, implementing these improvements can make the evaluation process more reliable. This, in turn, helps brands make more informed decisions, optimize their marketing budgets, and achieve better results from influencer partnerships.

This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn't directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn't ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn't sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough, after two decades of indulgence.

Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there's no official "fried chicken addiction" listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research center mentions two main elements: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, making us feel good, while the unique blend of spices stimulates our taste buds, making us want more.

Now, I'm on Day 35 of my "fried-chicken-free" journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings and even felt a bit down at times, almost like going through a mild withdrawal. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I'm really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life.

That morning, we hiked through an ancient forest,2 northwestwards. Leaping from one rock to the next, we gradually arrived at the destination. Directly ahead was a wall of rock. Tom3 over a gap to the rock face, climbed up a while, and found a good position where he could use holds to support the next climber. He4 the rope firmly between himself and Barney, yelling, "Climb!"

Barney looked to his left with a slight5, then he moved slowly and cautiously forward. I watched his moves carefully, so I could use the same6 he used. But I was7, wondering what was taking him so long. Finally, it was my turn. I stepped up to the gap edge, began to move to the cliff.8, when I glanced down, I was absolutely terrified. The cliff plunged (猛跌) straight down for what looked like a thousand feet. Then my legs began to shake. "Come on," they encouraged.9, I willed myself across the gap, struggling to10 the pull of the abyss (深渊) below. When I finally reached them, my mouth was as dry as a11.

Enjoying a good12 at the top of the mountain, I felt proud that I had13 my fear. Hard work will14 eventually. Those who have reached the peak will find15 that exists as long as life lasts.

When you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap. For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or sewage (污水) — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.

Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small hydroelectric(水电的)power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to outside compost (堆肥)toilets. It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury houses with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders.

Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decide that an alternative lifestyle isn't a pipe dream, but a viable (可行的) option.

Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don't need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres and cement.

Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient but getting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities. Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America.

A. Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.

B. After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears.

C. This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably.

D. Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living.

E. Rather than building permanent homes, vans or mobile homes or even old shipping containers are other options.

F. They live in a huge variety of types of accommodation.

G. Apart from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid.

Today, millions of people around the world employ these same techniques. "They are closely associated with our mental health," says Janine Smith, the owner of a store that sells supplies for knitting and crocheting (用钩针编制). "I know that if I haven't knitted for a few days, I really miss it. It's like meditation."

Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that, ten years ago, surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.

In reality, it is a "Flow", which is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrote in his book, "The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile."

Shauna Richardson knows just how true this is. The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she crocheted three seven-metre-long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. To complete the task, which required nearly 38 miles of wool, she says she had to "zone everything out and sustain a state of mind driven by rhythm and process."

But smaller projects will also get you there. Even a simple knitting or crochet pattern requires attentiveness to ensure that each stitch is made correctly. And if there's not enough challenge in the straightforward, you can make additions, from colour changes to textured stitches to highly complicated patterns.

The Cardiff research team found that even though most of the people surveyed were employed, three-quarters of those who knitted three or more times a week felt significantly more able to organise their thoughts and forget their problems.

Doing things against facts is a dangerous game, but you can picture a world in which, having chosen to start dealing with climate change properly in the 1990s, we would be just wrapping up the gentle path to net-zero emissions in time for a rapid AI increase fuelled by green power. Instead, we find ourselves at risk of running a 21st-century technology on a 20th-century energy supply.

If you live in the US, every time you use an AI model, around 20 per cent of the electricity required will be produced by burning coal. The explosive growth of AI makes this an even more pressing concern. According to one analysis, if Google chose to shift to an entirely AI-powered search business, its electricity consumption could match that of some countries.

Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence of rising power consumption from AI is all around. Microsoft is placing bets on nuclear plants to power its data centers, while the English government has promised to boost its national computing capacity by 50 per cent by 2025, which would help it keep pace with rapid AI developments in the world.

Thankfully, we may soon reach a turning point. As is reported, this year the global power department came close to reaching peak greenhouse gas emissions, as the switch from fossil (化石) fuels to clean and renewable sources is well underway. The question now is whether we can quicken the pace of decarbonisation(脱碳) to match the coming growth in energy consumption as AI becomes increasingly embedded in our society. Silicon Valley's intelligent machines may grab the headlines and the imagination, but the people really inventing the future are working on the energy sector.

She had no idea that, within days, millions of people would see her video, and her father's book would rise to the top of Amazon's Best Seller list.

Lloyd Richards first published Stone Maidens in 2012. It's a thriller about an FBI agent following a killer in Indiana and, by his daughter's account, it's quite attractive. However, his original release (出版) failed to drum up excitement.

It's a different world now, with social media making somebody and something rise to fame overnight. Richards, the daughter, decided to try her luck. "I saw how much time and effort and passion my dad put into his book. I know what a lovely storyteller he is," she told CNN. "He never stopped writing, and he always stayed positive."

Whether it was the interesting thriller, or the efforts of a proud daughter, the story of Lloyd Richards and Stone Maidens struck a chord.

Marguerite Richards posted the first TikTok about Stone Maidens about two weeks ago. It has since received 48 million views and numerous positive responses. After that, Richards posted more videos of her father, delighting in his unexpected success.

"My dad wasn't really sure what TikTok is, but he has been so pleased and grateful," Richards says. The experience has breathed new life into a labor of love. Now, Lloyd Richards has more than 360,000 TikTok followers and a brand-new story to tell. He has plans for the future, too.

In a world where time was the most valuable currency, a man named Henry lived a life of monotonous (单调乏味的) routine. Every day was a mirror image of the last, filled with the tick-tock of the clock that dictated his every move. Henry was a skilled watchmaker, and his creations were admired for their precision and beauty. However, the irony (讽刺) of his profession was not lost on him; despite his ability to control the measure of time, he felt as if time was controlling him.

To make matters worse, there harbored a deep regret in his heart — his son Richard, who worked in another city, seldom contacted him. They were literally strangers living far apart.

One day, an elderly woman visited Henry's shop, seeking a watch with a peculiar request. She wanted a timepiece that did not tell the exact time but rather reminded the wearer of the fleeting and temporary nature of life. "This watch is also for my son, who once did something associated with the concept of time, but he…" she suddenly paused, and obviously there was a slump in her throat. But she quickly composed herself and told Henry she would come for the watch one month later.

Intrigued (感觉着迷的), Henry accepted the challenge, pouring his soul into the creation of a unique watch. He designed it with no numbers, only two hands — one moving rapidly and the other so slowly it was almost still.

As he completed the watch, he found himself fascinated by its unconventional design. The hands seemed to dance around the face, a visual metaphor for the passage of time. The more he observed it, the more it made him reflect on his own life. He realized that in his pursuit of perfection and order, he had forgotten to live and appreciate the present moment.
