Adler began helping his neighbors after the nonprofit project: HOMES gave a presentation at his local Rotary Club. Adler recalls the representative saying — "Too many seniors and disabled individuals need ramps, but they can't afford them." That's when Adler reached out to his friends so that they could start building ramps for neighbors in need.

"I feel this is my calling, and I'd like to start a crew," he told his friend Karen Scott, who was eager to jump in and help.

Adler's group of volunteers has only grown with time. Now when he pulls up to a house for an installation, he has about a dozen people by his side to transport lumber (木材), work the saws, and assemble the deck.

"It's turned into an amazing service," said Adler. "I really enjoy the process and the teamwork, and figuring out the best solution for people in need."

When a recipient (接收者) can afford it, they are only charged with the cost of the materials. If they can't cover the cost, project: HOMES steps in to pay the full price.

Adler and his team of volunteers have transformed lives by building over 500 accessibility ramps for households in need. Adler has gone from building one ramp per weekend to completing three, sometimes four ramps each week across the Tri-Cities area.

71-year-old Jaunita Barnes is one of the 500 neighbors that Adler has helped through project: HOMES. After a stroke and heart attack, Barnes found it difficult to navigate the stairs with her walker. She was confined to her home for months — getting groceries delivered and calling doctors to her door — until Adler and his team stepped in to help.

"Now I can go where I need to go," said Barnes. "Adler and the others are truly nice."

The HB-3 robot was inspired by how beetles (甲虫) move. It uses special materials that bend slightly when electricity is applied. These tiny movements allow it to walk with extreme precision — sometimes adjusting by just a billionth of a meter! The robot's built-in camera and computer let it "see" objects, plan paths, and perform tasks without human help. It also carries its own battery, lasting long enough to work freely in spaces up to 1.6 meters wide.

What makes the HB-3 stand out lies in its capacity to operate independently in environments such as sealed (密封的) laboratories, enclosed spaces filled with dangerous substances, or areas where dangerous materials are present. For instance, it managed to construct a functional electronic circuit within a space too small for human hands, placing parts like resistors and LEDs with 87% accuracy. Additionally, the robot has the ability to change its tools, using various devices suitable for different tasks. Researchers believe that in the future it could potentially repair machinery, or provide assistance in medical operations.

However, the HB-3 works slower than older models — taking about seven minutes to finish a task — because its small computer isn't powerful enough. The robot also struggles to judge depth accurately without extra cameras. While it placed parts correctly 87% of the time, mistakes still happen. Additionally, the current version hasn't been tested in extreme heat, radiation, or other dangerous conditions it might face in real-world jobs.

Engineers plan to make the HB-3 faster by upgrading its computer and adding side cameras for better 3D vision. Scientists believe that by combining beetle-inspired movement, wireless freedom, and smart tools, the HB-3 could change how we handle delicate tasks in factories, hospitals, and even space missions. As one researcher said, "Sometimes nature already has the best solutions — we just need to copy them at the right size."

The study involved 172 people with an average age of 67 without memory problems. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of the hippocampus at the beginning of the study and again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked the amount of gum disease.

Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. Conversely, for people with severe gum disease, the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.

"These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth," Yamaguchi said. "The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate prosthetic ones."

Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. Another limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be generalizable to other locations.

In 1405, a huge fleet of more than 300 ships manned by over 27,800 men set sail from Liujia Harbor near Suzhou on a distant voyage under the command of Zheng He. The fleet sailed along China's coast to Champa close to Vietnam and after crossing the South China Sea, visited Java, Sumatra and reached Sri Lanka finally. On the way back, it sailed along the west coast of India and returned home in 1407.

In all, he had made calls at over 30 countries and territories. No matter what country he visited, he called on the ruler of the land, presenting to him valuable gifts to express China's sincere desire to develop friendly relations. They sent the emperor zebras, giraffes, shells, elephant ivory and rhinoceros-horn medicine.

The voyages by Zheng He strengthened the friendly relations between China and other countries in Asia and Africa and led to cultural and economic exchange between them. Therefore, his expeditions could rightfully be called "one of greatest achievements in mankind's history of navigation".

A. Zheng served as commander of the fleet.

B. The response of the rulers was very generous.

C. On board the ships were large quantities of goods.

D. The Great Ming Empire launched a series of marine activities.

E. On each voyage, Zheng He acted as the representative of the Ming court.

F. All this had taken place about half a century before Columbus' voyage to America.

G. Zheng He's second and third voyages taken shortly after, followed the same route.

Several days ago, a random man called the4, reporting that Maggie was aggressive (富于攻击性的) and5 other dogs in the park. It just so happened that Maggie made6 with a group of crows in the park. Maggie would7 play around with them, and they would follow her on our8. When the police showed up to question me about the report, she was playing with her crow friends. They saw Maggie9 crows and saw her "catch" one by touching it with her nose and then turn around to10 with that crow chasing her in return. It was so11 that she was playing and not using her teeth to bite the12 at all.

The policemen told me it was the first time they had ever13 such a thing that a dog played with crows like that. They could definitely tell that the man made a14 report. Whether they were aware of it or not, the crows potentially saved Maggie's life. What an unforgettable15 and it reminded me not to draw conclusions based on appearances or prejudices, but rather to make fair judgments through actual observation and understanding.

The digital age has brought about a significant transformation in the way we communicate. (promote) by the rapid development of mobile devices and social media platforms, instant communication has become the norm. However, with this convenience comes new set of challenges.

Take the case of language evolution (演变), for instance. Abbreviations and emojis, which are widely used in digital communication, (change) the way we write and speak so far. These new forms of expression allow us to convey our thoughts quickly and effectively in the digital field. For example, "LOL" (stand) for "laugh out loud" has become a common way to express (amuse) in online conversations.

Moreover, the over-reliance on digital communication (tool) has affected our face-to-face communication skills. Many people find difficult to maintain eye contact or engage in a meaningful conversation without the aid of their smartphones. This phenomenon is particularly concerning among the younger generation, are growing up in a digital-first environment.

Added to this, the digital world is full of misinformation. In the era of "false news" and "alternative facts," it has become (extreme) important for users to be able to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources. Without proper media literacy, we are likely (mislead) by false information, which can have serious consequences in our personal and social lives.

It seemed like the semester was dragging by at the middle school where I taught English as a Second Language. One particular sixth grader, Pablo, was struggling with fluency in reading, so after class I suggested that he get extra practice by reading aloud to his mom while she prepared dinner each evening. This was something I routinely encouraged my struggling students to do. I explained that it didn't matter if she understood enough English to know what he was reading.

Imagine my surprise when Pablo responded by starting to cry. He exclaimed, "My mom can't cook dinner!" Then he sobbed long and hard. Eventually, he calmed down enough to tell me, through his tears, that his mom was only able to cry in her bed when he got home every afternoon. He said that he was caring for his six-month-old baby brother by himself from the time he got home each day. His mother, it seemed, had an abscessed (脓肿的) tooth and was in unbearable pain. He explained that they didn't have enough money to get it fixed, and that there was no insurance and no way for her to go to a dentist. This child's heart was broken for his mom.

I was speechless! He was still crying when he left me that day, and I promised him I would try to help. As I taught my afternoon classes, I kept asking myself how I could help this student who was hurting so badly because his mother was hurting. How could I help his mother when we didn't even speak the same language? I realized it was no wonder he couldn't focus on reading with all that was going on in his young life.

The next day, I sent a note, which a friend helped me translate, to Pablo's mother asking if she would like me to help her. Meanwhile, I had been doing some networking among my friends, asking if anyone would give me some advice.
