The wind so swift, the sky so wide, apes wail and cry;

Water so clear and beach so white, birds wheel and fly.

The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower;

The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour.

A thousand miles from home, I'm grieved at autumn's plight;

I'll now and then for years, alone I'm on this height,

Living in times so hard, at frosted hair I pine;

Cast down by poverty, I have to give up wine.

(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)

When Du Fu (712-770) wrote this poem, he was 56 years old and was suffering from illness and poverty. Standing in front of autumn scenery, he recalled his life.

From the first line, we can tell that Du was not in a good mood. The key phrase is "apes wail and cry" (猿啸哀)—only sad ears can hear sad sounds. Then the poet sees a forest of trees that are losing their leaves while the Yangtze River rolls on. The poet uses natural scenery to represent his own sadness.

Despite being a talented scholar, Du's career was still a failure. With little money, he and his family constantly lived in hardship. So what he saw were showers and waves of sadness. Travelling should be fun when you have money and health. Sadly, Du had neither. Du travelled because he needed to keep himself alive. He went to different places to stay with relatives and friends, or to find temporary work. A life full of worries and sorrow turned his hair grey. What's worse, he couldn't even afford the wine he needed to numb (麻痹) his sad feelings. That makes the poem even sadder.

This poem could be seen as the conclusion of a life that was full of ups and downs. Two years after writing this poem, Du passed away.

Scientists from Singapore raised the question whether eating foods rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂) could influence one's eye health. Given the fact that grapes are full of antioxidants, they made an experiment that was joined in by 34 adults. Half of them had one and a half cups of grapes each day while the others had a placebo (安慰剂) snack, which tasted like grapes but had no antioxidants. The trial lasted 16 weeks. As planned, all participants were blinded: the 34 adults were unaware of whether they were eating the grapes or the placebo snack.

Subsequent analysis revealed that those who ate grapes showed a marked increase in antioxidant capacity and a higher macular pigment optical density (MPOD) (黄斑色素光学密度). The macular pigment plays a crucial role in eye protection against blue light, a lot of which is extensively emitted by digital screens such as those of computers and smartphones. Dr Jung Eun Kim, a researcher of the study, explained that their study was the first to find that eating grapes could improve one's eye health.

Eye health should not be taken for granted. It is important to take action to take good care of one's eyes. Besides eating foods rich in antioxidants, individuals who often face the screen should adopt protective habits. It is important to take breaks once in a while. Experts commonly recommend the 20-20-20 rule: for every 20 minutes in front of a screen, one should spend 20 seconds looking at something 20 feet away.

Nobody likes making mistakes. But no one is perfect. Unless you learn from mistakes correctly, they will move you1.

If you have made mistakes that hurt other people, it is important to offer a sincere apology in person. A good apology will probably make the other person forgive you. If you2 to apologize, the person hurt by you will hold it against you.

Mistakes happen for different reasons. To avoid repeating them, you need to understand the main reason. For example, you may have made a mistake by7 some unkind words. If you make mistakes because you are tired, try to get more sleep, and8 you are stressed, look for ways to relax and keep away from the stress of work.

You should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes, but at the same time, you should9 your mind to learn from them. If you repeat the same mistakes, it shows you aren't making progress and they cause repeated suffering. Often mistakes are caused by bad habits. To avoid making the same mistakes, you need to10 these bad habits. The sooner, the better.

In ancient China, there was a wise man called Zhuge Liang. One day, Zhuge Liang found himself in a difficult s. Sima Yi's army was coming and Zhuge Liang's support was still far away. There were not enough soldiers in West City. But Zhuge Liang thought of a method to solve this problem.

Several s were ordered to open the city gates and clean the roads. Zhuge Liang himself went up the city wall and began to play his favourite music softly there and seemed relaxed.

When Sima Yi's army arrived, they saw the open gates and e streets. Only a few old soldiers were working as cleaners. Sima Yi's army couldn't believe their eyes. They doubted what they saw, so they didn't e the city. Zhuge Liang told them that the city was empty and that they were welcome. But Sima Yi thought it was a trick, because Zhuge Liang had never taken any uncertain plans. He wouldn't trust Zhuge Liang.

After some time, Sima Yi made a decision to leave. Zhuge Liang s in saving the whole city.

Recently, she shared a video of making a velvet flower online and the video soon got many likes. Murong's artwork was made of 4,000 pieces of cocoon fiber in 12 days, but generally, it only takes two to three days to make a common one. For beginners, it's still a big challenge. . "I started to learn about it five or six years ago from some TV shows, but I found it's useless," she said. An inheritor carefully showed how to make velvet flowers in that TV show. Buying materials is another problem. Velvet flowers making needs copper wires. One key step is to choose the size. With little experience, Murong had to learn from failures and tried again and again.

When Murong became a skilled craftswoman, she opened an online store to sell the materials and her products. By doing this, Murong hoped more people would love velvet flowers making.

A. Velvet flowers making is an endangered folk art.

B. Murong at first tried to learn from online videos.

C. Even one millimeter (一毫米) will lead to a different shape.

D. It means good luck and best wishes.

E. Finally, she found a one-hour TV program.

I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students' exams. The school found out that the old "pass/fail system" wasn't helping students' motivation (积极性). If you passed, then great, but those students who didn't pass often felt like failures. So now students who don't pass the exams will not see a big red F on their papers; they see a "Not yet" instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. They haven't reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way.

This kind of thinking is part of what experts call "having a growth mindset". People with a growth mindset don't concentrate on failure. They aren't worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call "a fixed mindset". These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don't go right. They don't think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.

But don't worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset.      ★      Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can't or you haven't and realize that you just can't or haven't yet. Once you start doing this, you'll wonder why you didn't do it before. It's one small but very powerful word.
