Foraging can create a deep connection to nature. Janani Sivarajah, a researcher on city foraging, says it brings people together, connects people to the land, and brings people back to their roots. Dan Scott agrees, believing that teaching people about edible plants makes them more likely to protect nature while foraging.

Foraging is the oldest way of getting food and is becoming very popular again. It is common among people who care about the environment and want to avoid pesticides and industrial food systems. However, its popularity has led to rules in some US national parks to limit how much people can gather.

The effect of foraging on the environment is complicated. Foraging can use up local resources that wildlife needs, particularly when it is done to sell for money. Laws show these worries, so foraging is not allowed in some Canadian parks, and the UK's National Trust warns against taking too much. Sustainable foraging means taking only small amounts for yourself. But Dan Scott admits that if thousands of people foraged on the beach, it would not be sustainable.

Health risks are another important thing to think about. Sivarajah warns that plants in cities can absorb harmful metals from car pollution. Seaweed has high levels of substances like arsenic and lead. The biggest danger, however, comes from picking the wrong thing. For example, he is very clear that looking for mushrooms needs learning from an expert, not just books, because deadly poisonous types exist. His advice is joining a group and learning from experienced people.

During her college years, Jennifer studied human biology, health, and society, while also volunteering as a doctor and firefighter. She noticed that many people badly needed to get healthcare, which inspired her to create the EMS Equity Project. This project helped patients in Ithaca find healthcare resources. These. experiences led her to go for a job in medicine, and she finally joined Weill Cornell Medical College.

At the White Coat Ceremony, Jennifer and her classmates received their white coats and stethoscopes (听诊器). The ceremony marked the start of their medical education. Jennifer, who would be the first in her family to become a doctor, saw the white coat as a symbol (象征) of her responsibility for providing comfort and care to others. She believed that medicine was not just about learning but also about being kind to others.

The ceremony was also a reminder that becoming a doctor requires both professional knowledge and a sense of balance in life. As Dr Joseph Safdieh, a medical educator at Weill Cornell Medicine, said, students should aim to be the best one of themselves as doctors, not someone else. Students, with their different backgrounds and experiences, are ready to take on the challenges of the medical field.

April

Spring is when New York shows its softer side. The weather is mild and the streets are calm — before the summer crowds come. In April, it feels like you have the city to yourself. After a long, cold winter being holed up in your apartment, you can walk through the park and watch the flowers bloom.

August

If you want to live like a New Yorker, head to Rockaway Beach, Queens, in August. This is where the locals escape the hot damp summer heat, especially when the Hamptons and Fire Island are too packed. Rockaway has a long stretch of sand, so you can take your pick. If you want to catch a wave, sign up for surf lessons at Locals Surf School.

September

September is the month that makes me fall in love with the city. It's sunny and warm, and there are fewer crowds once the kids go back to school after Labor Day. Though there are signs of fall, mainly in the cooler nights, you don't need to wear anything above a light sweater. This pleasant weather is ideal for a picnic in Brooklyn.

October

In October, the city becomes one big food festival. No really, there are open-air markets all across the five boroughs. If you want to try food from around the world, Queens Night Market should be at the top of your list. To see some cooks in action, get tickets to the New York City Wine & Food Festival that takes place in mid-October.

Jane threw down a1 challenge to Chandler: swimming to the other side of the pool without2 for air. It's a game the couple had played so many times. With excitement, Chandler eagerly3 the challenge.

However, as he4 the far end of the pool and remained underwater, what began as fun took a5. Bubbles (气泡)appeared at the water's surface,6 regarded as part of the game at first. Yet, as seconds turned into worrying minutes, the cheerful atmosphere changed into7—Chandler's parents realized how8 the situation was.

His mom Emily grew anxious and called out to her husband Wilson in alarm. In the beginning, Jane couldn't quite understand Emily's9. But as Wilson ran to10 Chandler out of the water, Jane saw his grey skin and blue lips and realized something was deathly wrong. Her mind went blank and she didn't know what to do.

A few days later, Chandler completely recovered. Since then, he and Jane have been trying their best to raise people's15 of the danger of drowning (溺水).

It can be tough to get into and stick with an exercise routine.

Break it up.

Fitness professionals have changed their tune on this over the years. Everything counts towards those weekly activity targets, as long as the intensity is high enough. You can spend 5 minutes climbing the stairs in your home a few times.

Increase slowly.

Jumping into a busy and intense exercise routine can set you up for mental and physical burnout. Beginning where you are comfortable and slowly increasing the duration and intensity over a period of weeks or months. Getting on an exercise program or finding a personal trainer can help with this progression.

Exercise is as important as any other activity. And while small bouts are good, you'll also probably get to a point where you want to do longer durations. And that's where looking at your schedule, finding a time that works during your day, and adding it to your calendar will help.

Consider high-intensity interval training.

It calls for a shorter duration of exercise than traditional workouts, resulting in less time commitment and fewer injuries overall. Plus, it can be done without equipment in your home. Finding a personal trainer to help you structure its workout can be a great help.

Do "Non-exercise" exercise.

Do you count playing with your kids and cleaning the house as exercise? You should — because they can all count towards your movement quota. Look at those everyday activities as opportunities to help you get fit and keep moving.

A. Schedule it.

B. Phone a friend.

C. It puts you at risk of injury, too.

D. There are health benefits to accumulating activity.

E. Here are some tips for you to begin and be motivated.

F. You can also stand up from your desk and do a set of squats (深蹲).

G. High-intensity interval training can be great for beginners, including overweight people.

They are Mary E. Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell from America, and Shimon Sakaguchi from Japan. They find a special kind of cell (细胞). These cells are like the "police" in our body. They help the system know "us" and stop it from fighting us. This is very important. Without these "police" cells, our body may get ill.

A long time ago, people think this system only works in one place in our body. But Shimon Sakaguchi does not think so. In 1995, he finds these "police" cells. He calls them regulatory T cells. At first, many people do not believe him. Then, in 2001, Mary E. Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell find a key gene (基因). They call it Foxp3. They find that if this gene is not good, people can get very ill. Two years later, Shimon Sakaguchi shows that this Foxp3 gene is very important for the "police" cells to work well.

The work of these three scientists helps many sick people. Now, doctors are thinking of new ways to help people with some long-time illnesses. They can use these "police" cells to make the body's system better. This can also help people after an organ transplant (器官移植). Their finding is a big change in how we see our body.

The first change is about the brain's ability to learn and remember. When we exercise, our heart sends more blood to the brain, carrying oxygen and important food. This helps the brain cells grow and become stronger. Scientists have found that a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory, gets larger in people who exercise often. This means these people may find it easier to learn new things and get higher scores on tests.

Besides a better memory, exercise is also a powerful way to improve our mood. During and after physical activity, the brain produces more "feel-good" chemicals. These natural brain chemicals help to reduce feelings of worry and stress. You don't need to run a long way to get the result. Even a short walk or some simple sports can make you feel more relaxed and happy.

So, how can you add more exercise to your life? You don't have to be an athlete. The key is to find an activity you enjoy. It could be walking or riding a bike to school, joining a dance club, or just playing ball games with friends in the park. Try to be active for at least 30 minutes most days.

In short, exercise is not just about building a healthy body. It is also one of the most effective ways to build a healthier, happier, and smarter brain. Next time when you need a break from study, perhaps going out for some exercise is the best choice.

I asked Joe what he wanted to see. I would never6 his response: "I would not mind finding a swing set (秋千)." That's when it7 me that while I thought I knew every inch of my college town, I had no idea8 to look.

9, I remembered the Venable Elementary School, something I'd10 countless times but never really noticed. We parked in the lot, empty on a Saturday, and I11 my son and watched him delightedly swing back and forth.

What did I learn on that trip? First, travel is great fun and often leads to12. But maybe greater happiness is just around the corner. Second, do not rely too much on your13. Do your best but stay14, and always remember what John Lennon said: Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans. Third, there is always a new way to15 things, no matter how much you think you know.
