Channel Islands National Park , California

Tourists find many ways to explore this group of five wild islands off the coast of Santa Barbara. Beginner-friendly paddling trips let visitors take in abundant sea caves and wildlife, such as gray whales and sea lions. Strong currents (洋流) and shifting weather make going with a guide a smart move.

Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska

This coast-meets-mountains reserve takes wildlife watching to the next level. Use the park's only maintained long path to the outlook over Harding Icefield for breathtaking views of this icy landscape. Along the way, keep an eye out for black bears, wolves and mountain goats. From a tour boat, look out for whales and dolphins among the waves and sea lions and seals on the beaches.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico

Brazilian free-tailed bats are a star attraction at this park. Each year, these bats make their way back from the winter grounds in Mexico to rest in the park's network of limestone (石灰岩) caves. August and September bring the best bat watching when the year's babies take to the skies with their parents. Around sunset, the bats leave the caves by the hundreds of thousands to eat insects.

North Cascades National Park, Washington

Known as the "American Alps", this park holds more than 400 miles of paths that take hikers and horseback riders to wildflower fields, old-growth forests, glacier viewpoints and remote lakes. One standout is the Desolation Peak Trail, which leads to a mountaintop cabin where Jack Kerouac, a famous 20th-century American novelist, spent a summer.

Disasters have the potential to set back a nation's development for years and even decades. However, my personal experiences have taught me that the extent of damage often depends on whether there is a culture of prevention within the affected society. .

I recall a time when I was living in an apartment building when a moderate earthquake struck. My reaction, after the immediate "drop, cover, hold on" reflexes (反射动作), was to hope that the building would prove to be structurally sound. As the shaking slowly stopped, I ran outside to wait for possible aftershocks. My fears, thankfully, did not happen. It had resisted the quake because it followed the country's building codes.

Occasions like this show the necessity of having updated building codes that include lessons learned from past disasters. Had the building not followed these updated codes, I may not have survived. This experience has only strengthened my belief in the value of prevention in mitigating the impact of disasters.

I have spent the past two years working on the Built Environment in Latin America and the Caribbean Project. The project has developed risk-informed policies and engineering techniques in the six countries that were selected for their particularly high exposure to earthquakes. This project fits perfectly with my professional and personal goals, as it combines my passion and experience in risk reduction. Like the third little pig in the tale of Three Little Pigs, who puts resilience (韧性) above convenience while building his house from bricks, I'm committed to building a framework of prevention and resilience, as I know that early action today can prevent problems tomorrow.

The Socratic Method, named after Socrates himself, is a form of cooperative dialogue where one person asks a series of open-ended questions to guide another person i toward insight and understanding. For example, imagine a teacher discussing ethics with students. Instead of explaining what is "right" or "wrong" the teacher might ask, "What does it mean to act ethically?" and follow up with questions like, "Why do we consider some actions fair and others unfair?" Through this questioning, students are led to think more critically and examine their own values and assumption rather than just accepting predetermined answers.

The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self- examination. When you ask yourself, for instance, "Why do you believe this?" or "What evidence supports your thinking?", you are encouraged to look inward, reflect on your reasoning, and consider whether your beliefs are truly your own or influenced by external. factors. This process of questioning leads to self-reflection, helping individuals better understand the underlying motivations behind their thoughts and actions.

Self- reflection is like hitting the pause button on life, which gives you a moment to step back and look closely at your own thoughts , feelings and experiences. An unexamined life, however, is one where people go through the motions without ever questioning the underlying beliefs, values, or motivations that drive their actions. Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts societal standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you're swept along by society's expectations, barely aware of your own desires, as if you're living in someone else's script without ever writing your own.

Scientists from the National University of Singapore observed that dolphins were able to acoustically (听觉上) scan objects underwater and pick matching objects visually. This demonstrated that a dolphin's sound echoes emitted off an object contained information about the object's shape. They then recorded dolphin echoes emitted when scanning an object underwater.

Based on their observations, the team built a sonar system that copied a dolphin's sonar. The sonar, which is about 25 cm in width and around the size of a dolphin's head, is designed to emit sharp click sounds similar to a dolphin's echolocation (回声定位). Three transmitters are used to send sounds from different directions. The researchers then processed the sounds from both dolphins and their sonar to visualize what the echoes revealed about the object's shape. To make the most of this new hardware, the team developed a novel processing algorithm (算法) that allowed the sonar to improve the visualization of the echoes. Based on the hypothesis that dolphins use prior information to process their echoes, the researchers included prior information in their algorithm.

The effectiveness of the software was demonstrated when it was able to visualize information from a dolphin's sonar echoes when scanning an object, as well as sonar signals produced by their sonar. A conventional approach to processing both sonar echoes resulted in noisy images. However, the novel processing approach gave better resolution and, therefore , sharper images. The software was also able to generate visualization with a mere three clicks from the sonar, allowing it to be operationally fast.

The new sonar processing method could have potential benefits in underwater commercial or military sonar. For example, it could be used to scan the seabed to search for features that can be used to aid navigation. The sonar's compactness (小巧) also makes it suitable for installation on underwater robots for ocean exploration.

"We'll be back in a couple of hours," my parents said to me. "OK," I replied uneasily as it was the first time that I had ever been alone at home. I had been looking forward to this for such a long time, but now all of a sudden it didn't seem so enjoyable. As they went out the door, I went to the window to wave them goodbye. They waved back at me, not understanding the fear that was inside me. As they pulled out of the driveway, all the usual safety was removed from the house. Then it all began.

It was just me and the house, facing all of the robbers and bad guys that might come after me because, of course, my parents weren't at home. I quickly ran through the house , turning each light on, so that I could go into each room without the fear of a witch (女巫) emerging from the shadows. Even so, I still felt uneasy in this empty house.

It had only been a few minutes since my parents had left and I thought I had had enough. Then. I decided, "I can watch TV and I'll be fine and have some fun." I turned on the TV and avoided any violent shows. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw headlights coming down the road in front of my house. "I'll just check to make sure they don't pull into my driveway," I said.

As the night wore on, I continued to check each car that passed by — just to be safe. Fortunately, there were no more problems and I even had a little fun watching TV. Then, the most terrible thing happened: One of the passing cars pulled in and began speeding down my driveway. As it got closer, I realized that it was an old rickety (摇摇晃晃的) truck, and a person that I had never seen before.
