that paper cutting is one of Chinese traditional cultures.

Sitting atop the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Yunnan Province, Azheke is a remote village populated by over 400 residents from the Hani ethnic group. The name of the village, Azheke, translates to "a place bamboo grows" in the Hani language.

Azheke is surrounded by its own (mystery) atmosphere. Wooden signs hang from trees alongside stone paths (lead) to the village, warning visitors to be cautious of unknown dangers in its forest. Further up, a row of stone fountains labeled "The Sacred Mountain Water" (peaceful) feed into the stone basins below before flowing into the network of canals.

Twenty years ago, Azheke was just a far-off village struggling with poverty, underdeveloped transportation and outdated farming practices. Today, that same isolation tells different story.

Azheke (ride) the 21st-century wave of eco-tourism and become a popular destination. But other tourism hot spots where the hunger for money flattens out the local culture and leaves residents behind, the village's path to prosperity has been built through the "Azheke Plan", which makes the villagers both the owners and beneficiaries of the local tourism resources and provides (reward) to those who preserve the heritage.

The "Azheke Plan" has become a model of rural tourism and heritage protection can work together to create meaningful experiences for the world to enjoy. With plans (introduce) the Azheke model in more remote regions in the near future, a new path is being paved for sustainable rural revitalization nationwide.

I recall an occasion when I was planning a3, and one center resident asked how using a map and compass4 people to find the way in the hills — so I showed him how to5them. Next day, when we set off, he6 the map, checked the compass and led us towards the peak. I had done this hill several times before and conditions were7.

We started on the path, then headed up onto the open hillside and stepped onto the wide and flat plateau (高原). I watched him adjust the8 with the compass, no need to9, for he did it exactly right. He used the map and compass10, and led us right to the top. He was so11 that he had been able to do this.

People with alcohol use disorder often12 low self-worth. I believe the chance to successfully take responsibility for13 a group up this hill really helped this individual on his way to14, and even perhaps gave him the15 to be able to take on tasks and jobs in everyday life.

At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I'd say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do.

But recently, I've found myself recalling how my friend's voice broke through loneliness.Particularly during a season that's supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look-specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I've sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it's become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them.There's a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.

It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can't convey. It's a small act of presence, a way to say, "I'm thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human."

In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They're a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. It's just a friend's "hi" in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.

A. In fact, I'm a late adopter of voice messaging.

B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can't see their faces.

C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.

D. When we reach out, we can better understand others' difficulties.

E. Sometimes, connection doesn't have to be grand to be meaningful.

F. I think better in writing, I'd tell myself, holding on to my text messages.

G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.

Children start paying attention to gender differences much earlier than some parents realize, according to psychologist Christia Brown, "Society emphasizes that gender is important really early in a kid's life," she says. "We label it a lot in our language — we use gender as nouns all the time. So we frequently say ‘oh, there's that girl' or ‘come on boys, let's go get in the car.'" Research suggests children's recognition of gender is more due to adults pointing it out than any inborn awareness of it.

Gendered toys credit certain types of skills and strengths to one gender or the other. So, when a child only plays with toys marketed for their gender, they learn a certain set of skills but do not engage as much in other types of learning. This can lead to imbalanced development in boys and girls as they grow older.

The biggest concern around buying gendered toys is that they can impact how children see themselves. Gendered representation imposes (强加于) society's ideas of what they should like and do instead of letting them choose for themselves what their interests and hobbies are. This can have influence on what that child decides to study in school and ultimately choose as a career.

Many retailers have made real progress over the last few years, dropping gender labels in stores and online — a new research shows a 70% decrease in the use of online gender navigation options since 2012 — but there's still work to do to challenge the stereotyped (老一套的) ways that toys are often packaged and promoted.

Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be categorized by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children's bikes. There would still be dress-up dolls and monster toy trucks in that world, but instead of being just pink or blue, they would come in every color of the rainbow. Toy choices should be based on kids' personal interests, and not on their gender.

Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out competitor,ultimately costing them first place in the race. Through thick and thin, Dion and Gobi survived together and had no intentions of parting ways at the finish line. Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful. He later donated all extra funds to stray dog rescue organizations. However, disaster struck: Gobi went missing in Urumqi while awaiting an official approval to leave China.

Despite the language barrier and the city's 3 million population, Dion immediately flew back to search for her. By then, their heartwarming story had gained international media coverage, inspiring hundreds of Chinese volunteers to join in his search. Thankfully, Gobi was found. The reunion did more than bring them back together; it helped people of different cultures grow closer together as well.

The pair now live happily in Tucson. Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi's story — the children's book tells a visual story through Gobi's eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion's upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles.

When I was a secondary school student, the small park near our school was my favorite place. It was more than just a park; it was our secret playground and a peaceful corner full of joy. Every afternoon after class, my friends and I would run there happily, laughing and chatting as if we had no worries at all.

The park was always quiet and tidy. I enjoyed the fresh air, green trees and beautiful flowers there. But I didn't know when things started to get worse there. Rubbish was everywhere, especially around the rubbish bins. Plastic bags, bottles and food waste made the park dirty. Every time I saw that, I felt sad and helpless.

One morning, on my way to school, I saw the park messier than ever. I felt I had to do something. During the break, I talked with my three best friends, Lewis, Stephen and Alice, about it. "The park is so dirty now," I said sadly. "I really want to clean it up this weekend. Would you like to join me?" Stephen, one of my friends, frowned and looked a little worried. "I'd love to help, but I'm afraid it won't make much difference. Some people will just litter again soon," he said in a low voice. He was not really against the plan, but he was not confident enough.

Hearing that, I looked at him seriously and said, "Even small actions can help. If we don't do anything, the park will only get dirtier. Maybe our work can encourage others to stop littering too." Lewis nodded and said, "I believe people will notice our effort. We can also put up posters to remind everyone to protect the park." Alice added gently, "It's our park. If we don't take care of it, no one else will." Stephen thought for a while and finally nodded firmly. "You're right. Let's do it together. I'll try my best." To my joy, he completely changed his mind and became ready to take action with us.
