The bright spot of red was what first caught Randy Jackson's attention on December 16, 2018, as he hiked the remote fields behind his ranch (牧场) in Patagonia, Arizona, near the U.S.-Mexico border. Jackson walked toward it with his dog, and found it to be a weathered balloon entangled (缠住) in the dry grass, with a string attached to something.

It was a note. "Dayami," it read on one side, in a child's writing. A hand-drawn bow accompanied the word. Jackson flipped the paper over. It was a numbered list, all in Spanish. Although his Spanish wasn't very good, he could see it was a Christmas list.

Jackson was charmed. He guessed that a child might have tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Jackson had sent aloft (空中), but he still hoped he could find the girl who had sent this one.

It would be difficult, but Jackson had a few clues (线索). About 20 miles to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico, with a population of about a quarter million. "Based on the prevailing (盛行的) wind, that's surely where it came from," he thought.

Jackson brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They determined that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes, and art supplies, among other things.

Jackson then posted about it on social media, attaching photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl's family. A few days passed with no leads; Jackson worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2018, he decided to send a private message to Radio XENY, an AM radio station based in Nogales. To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away. Jackson's wife helped explain the situation on the phone, and got the promise that Radio XENY would air the story, and arrange a meeting between them and Dayami's family, as soon as Dayami was found.

Standing in a field edged by rolling hills, two days before the first tour date in late September, Ba Nong, the frontman of the Chinese band Varihnaz, looked over the yellowed remnants of the rice stalks (黄色稻茬) he (spend) the past few months tending. "The land gets to rest, and I get to go play," he said.

Ba Nong, a 44-year-old farmer and (music) from rural Guangxi, hopes his music inspires people to break free from mainstream expectations. He and his band Varihnaz gained national attention on "The Big Band". Despite potential success, they chose to prioritize their lifestyle, even (drop) out of the competition's final rounds to avoid interfering with harvest.

Ba Nong worked as a graphic designer in Guangzhou but (grow) disillusioned (幻想破灭) and moved back home in 2012 to pursue organic farming and revive local (tradition). He connected with two like- minded individuals online-another farmer and bricklayer or from rural Guangxi-and reformed the unconventional band Varibnaz, meaning "fields filled with fragrant flowers" the language of Guangxi's Zhuang ethnic minority. Their song "Big Dream" resonated (共鸣) with audiences, who thought the group offered a refreshing break from China's hyper-commercialized popular entertainers with music about a simpler,   (slow) way of life, an alternative to the intense competition of modern Chinese life, although they, faced criticism for romanticizing rural life. Ba Nong promotes a mindset of authenticity and staying true to oneself. During their tour, they educated audiences about (nature) farming and sold their own rice.

he's disappointed that their fame hasn't led to widespread lifestyle reassessment, he's content with their achievements and is prepared to return to farming if their fame fades.

This panel worked on the guidelines for almost two years. It was the first to consider dietary needs based on financial situation, race and culture. Fatima, an obesity expert, said that considering these new elements will help make sure that the guidance reflects and includes various population groups.

Several of them showed links between ultra-processed foods and being overweight or obesity. But the nutrition experts said the evidence was too limited to make recommendations. The panel also didn't change recommendations about alcohol. The current guidelines are two drinks or less a day for men and one for women. The nutrition panel described a healthy diet for people beginning at two years old.

The diets of most Americans don't meet the current guidelines. More than half of American adults have one or more diet-related health condition. The report also notes that nutrition-related long-term health conditions will continue to threaten health throughout their life.

The dietary guidelines are updated every five years. Related government officials will then hold a public meeting to discuss the recommendations before they are finally released. All this makes it possible for Americans to attach importance to the dietary guidelines.

​​​​​​​A. The panel considered more than 40 studies.

B. For a healthy diet, people should eat more beans.

C. The last time the guidance was updated was in 2020.

D. The public has 60 days to comment on the guidance.

E. 18 million individuals have insecure sources of food.

F. It is high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains and fish.

G. We should also note that there's something missing in the guideline.

Even so, the overall market is still tiny. Non-alcoholic beverages make up a sliver (少量) of Britain's alcoholic drink market, at just 3%. That is comparable to the share in France and America but far behind that in Germany (16%) or Spain (11%). Sales growth of alcohol-free drinks would need to exceed 40% each year to come close to raising their market share above 10% by 2030.

Wider availability and better products will naturally help the market to grow. But so would fixing a specific problem in the British market. According to standards set by the Department of Health and Social Care, drinks must contain less than 0.05% alcohol by volume (aby) to be considered alcohol-free. That is less than the alcohol content of burger rolls or ripe bananas. It is also much less than incomparable markets. The 0.5% aby beers made by Big Drop, a British craft brewer, are officially deemed (认为) non-alcoholic in America, Australia and Germany but not at home.

This strict standard has two consequences. One is for competition. Obeying the guidance is hard for smaller brands in particular; producing drinks at 0.05% aby or less requires expensive equipment to extract (提取) the alcohol. Some don't even bother trying. Nearly one-third of the drinks sold and labeled (标明) as alcohol-free in Britain ignore the official guidance.That leads to the second consequence: confusion. More than half of respondents in a poll (民意调查) by Opinium, a research firm, said there was a lack of clarity over the suitability of non-alcoholic products for pregnant women, drivers and people who don't drink for religious reasons.

The government, keen to give more options to people who drink to excess (过量), has launched a consultation (磋商) on updating its rules so that drinks with 0.5% aby can legally reach the alcohol-free standard. A labeling change is not going to make the market go crazy but it would bring Britain into line with other countries. And it might make it even easier to order something non-alcoholic next time you are at the bar.

The establishment of online reading platforms and the setup of overseas localization and development ecosystems have led to Chinese online literature continuously expanding its global influence. It is now described as one of the world's four major cultural phenomena, along with US Hollywood movies, Japanese animation and South Korean TV dramas.

Featuring magnificent imagination, fascinating plots and compelling (扣人心弦) stories, it is drawing a growing mass of readers from all over the world. According to a report released by the China. Writers Association last April, Chinese online literature has captivated (迷住) nearly 200 million active overseas users, 80 percent of whom are Generation Z readers — those born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s-from most countries and regions worldwide. Another report released by the China Audio-Video and Digital Publishing Association in December revealed that in 2023, China's online literature industry earned 4.35 billion yuan ($597 million) from international markets, up 7 percent year-on-year.

"The charm of Chinese online literature is boundless. It goes beyond the limitations of traditional literature, breaking cultural barriers to resonate (共鸣) with readers around the world. As someone from faraway Italy, I've found deep emotional connection and inspiration in these works. Themes like the pursuit of dreams and the fight for justice are universal, uniting people across cultures," said Carlo Maria Rossi, a stage designer and creative director from Rome and a big fan of the popular Chinese web novel Lord of Mysteries.

Currently, Chinese online literature is crossing more boundaries and exploring a new path of going global. With a focus on "global co-creation on intellectual property", online literature writers from different nations and regions are joining hands in developing their web novel IPs, creating a new wave of the globalization of literature while promoting cultural understanding and exchanges.

Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village wasarchaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren't many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.

They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated (解放) from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.

My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outery from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged (浸没), time would stop, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.

I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would pause, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.

We should have known that it wouldn't last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there's something so tragic about growing up: your perspective on the people and life around you changes; you always struggle to reach a mirror, only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day and find a different person staring back out at you.

One cold winter's day, three boys were wandering the street. The oldest was Henry, who always was in trouble himself, and tried to get others into trouble. Another boy, James, was also a naughty one. Both of the two often got scoldings from their fathers for making trouble. The youngest, whose name was George, was a very good boy. He wished to do right, but was very much wanting in courage.

As they were passing by a schoolhouse, Henry suddenly came up with an idea. "How fun it would be to throw a snowball at the schoolroom door and make the teacher and the students all jump!" he said excitedly.

"Ha! You would jump, if you should do that. If the teacher did not catch you and punish you, he would tell your father, and you would get a scolding then. 'That would make you jump higher than the students, I think. "James replied.

"Why, we would get off already before the teacher could come to the door so that he could not tell who we are." Henry said as his eyes fell on George, who was looking at them in silence. Henry smiled cunningly(狡猾的) and continued, " Here is a snowball just as hard as ice, and George would throw it at the door as fast as he could."

"Give it to him and see. I guess he would not dare to throw it." James said. "James, do you think George is a coward(胆小鬼)? You do not know him as well as I do!" Henry said with eyebrows uplifted, staring at George provocatively(挑衅地). Then he held the snowball and lifted it up. "George, take the snowball, and show James that you are not such a coward as he thinks you are." After saying this, he passed the snowball to George.

Para 1:

Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated.

With a black-and-white cloth snake in hand, 7-year-old Chen Kaiming had already become a social media star at the 2025 China Central Television Spring Festival Gala, the highly anticipated annual event airs on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

The Yingge dance, often (refer) to as the "Chinese battle dance," is folk art form that originated in Guangdong Province in south China, (combine) elements of opera, dance and martial arts. Yingge dance performances are said (inspire) by the story of The Water Margin, one of China's Four Great Classical Novels. In 2006, Puning Yingge dance was recognized as part of China's national intangible cultural heritage.

Over the past two years, Yingge dance (gain) popularity on social media, with videos of (energy) performances attracting millions of views. During major festivals, the sound of Yingge drums fills cities and villages, contributing a lively atmosphere.

Today, Yingge has woven (it) into the fabric of life for the people of the Chaoshan region, with many towns and streets boasting their own Yingge team. Local communities and cultural institutions are working together to train new generations of dancers. "Whenever the Yingge drums sounded on Chinese New Year's Day, my son would joyfully follow the team, shouting with excitement," Chen Kaiming's father told newspaper Guangming Daily. "Yingge dance relies on (wide) participation from younger generations," said Lin Lunlun, former President of Hanshan Normal University in Guangdong.

Practice mindfulness

HFA often comes from a stream of "what if" thoughts: what if I can't get through this presentation? What if I don't pass this test? What if they don't like me? What if I've made a huge mistake? These looping questions can feel overwhelming. Practice regular mindfulness exercises to break this cycle.

Most of us know we should set them, yet putting them into practice can be easier said than done. People with HFA often struggle to say "No", leading to overcommitment and stress. Take time to understand your needs. Learning to prioritize tasks and setting clear limits can prevent burnout and help maintain a healthier balance.

Challenge perfectionism

But this is based on your own high standards, the goalposts are always moving. Remind yourself that mistakes are part of growth, that every small step counts, and that your worth is not dependent on a flawless performance. Instead of striving for perfection, aim for progress.

Schedule relaxation time

For someone with HFA, relaxation might feel like a waste of time when you could be striving toward productivity and perfection. But treat relaxation as essential, just as you would schedule work or personal commitments. Engaging in enjoyable activities can help shift your focus away from stressors, foster a sense of calm, and boost overall well-being.

A. Set realistic boundaries.

B. Practice agreed boundaries.

C. Set aside time for genuine relaxation and hobbies.

D. Boundaries are about saying "yes" to yourself and your needs.

E. With strategies and support, it's possible to manage these challenges.

F. Techniques such as deep breathing can help shift your focus to the present moment.

G. We often believe that if we do everything flawlessly, we'll finally feel secure, or achieve our goals.

The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its "fingertip", and reads by using a combination of the information from the camera and the sensors. "This is a hard problem for roboticists as there's a lot of image processing that needs to be done to remove motion blur (模糊) which is time-and energy-consuming," said Parth Potdar from Cambridge's Department of Engineering.

"There are existing robotic Braille readers, but they only read one letter at a time, which is not how humans read," said Potdar. "Existing robotic Braille readers work in a relatively static way: they touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up from the surface, move over, lower onto the next letter pattern, and so on. We want something that's more realistic and far more efficient."

The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to "deblur" the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters. They trained the algorithms on a set of sharp images of Braille with fake blur applied. After the algorithms had learned to deblur the letters, they used a computer vision model to detect and classify each character.

Once the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87%accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader.

"Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface textures or slippage in robotic manipulation," said Potdar.

In the future, the researchers are hoping to scale the technology to the size of a humanoid hand.

To find out the real reason, the team carried out a first set of experiments in an insect flight area. The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线的) cameras equipped with motion capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders (生物分类的目) that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to make sure different insects all showed similar responses to light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde, Costa Rica, the researchers put heavy cameras, lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild.

The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (倾斜) in an attempt to turn their backs towards it. This behavior, known as a "dorsal light response", normally helps insects to remain on an unchanging path of flight that is properly lined to the horizon.

Artificial light that arrives from a point source causes them to fly in unpredictable patterns as they try to turn their backs to what they are mistaking for the sky.

Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned first: artificial light confuses insects' ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles.

I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were weak and helpless and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with it, some were happy to see us, and some were not.

I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, would have been listening to the hit song in their late 20s.

Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.

Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), lasting 50 years of a couple's life.

And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.

When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn't struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their 20s might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.

I now know that music-based treatment reduce the need for antipsychotic medication (抗精神病药物) in more than 60 percent of people living with dementia. I don't know what my My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: "Because I love your stories. If you're willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this."

Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18,1775, to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse's mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny, and unlikely to be anyone else's choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere's horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, "Great. Now, write it again." I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn't win, I wouldn't care.
