In recent years, food obsessives (吃货) have4 a new video type, which has launched personalities with millions of5. This is called mukbang, which originated from the Korean words "meokneun" (eating) and "bang-song" (broadcast). If you're6 the video type, you'll know it's often the live footage of a host eating food in front of a(n)7 while he/she is interacting with their audience. The trend first8 in South Korea, where the videos became9 via live stream channels.

It was unheard of in the United States until 2015,10. Fine Brothers Entertainment upload their video of popular YouTube stars responding to the Korean eating shows. It received11 from viewers and Google searches of the term skyrocketed with people12 to learn more about mukbang.

Mukbang developed quickly in America and many content creators started13 this type of video. The trend has not come without14, however, many say that mukbang might lead to eating disorders, and that some viewers could15 develop unhealthy eating habits. So such viewers should stop watching the videos.

To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.

As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.

So what's the solution? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.

Again, there was a terrible sound of thunder. He tried to focus on the novel, but the sudden sound of the doorbell interrupted (打断) him. It couldn't be his parents. He looked at the wall clock—it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon. The doorbell sounded again. "Who's there?" he shouted. There was no reply. The doorbell sounded again. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without checking who it is.

"Should I answer the bell or not?" thought Karthik. He decided to first prepare himself for an unpleasant encounter (遭遇). He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (棒球棒), which he hid behind the door in case he needed it. But still, he needed to make sure who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, "Who's at the door?" There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps, either. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other. Suddenly, there was a loud cry. "Karthik! Karthik! Why don't you open the door?"

"There is no doubt about it; it's Dad," Karthik shouted and rushed forward to open the door.

"Why are you holding a baseball bat?" asked Karthik's father. For a moment, the boy seemed at a loss for words. Then his father gave him a big smile, perhaps understanding Karthik's predicament (窘境).

The recent opening of a new exhibition building at the Sanxingdui Museum, in Guanghan, in Sichuan province, made the place instant tourist hot spot. The bronze heads, golden masks, holy trees and various statues reveal the (mystery) faces of a culture dating back more than 3,000 years.

For those who cannot make it to Guanghan, the extensive site of Sanxingdui is located, an immersive exhibition (equip) with digital technology, titled Hello Sanxingdui, offers an alternative means to be awed by the magnificence of this Bronze Age culture. It is running at the Longfu Art Museum in Beijing until Feb 29.

It provides a time-travel experience for both an educational and artistic appeal. The journey begins a brief timeline of texts, photos and videos, showing how Sanxingdui was first discovered in the 1920s, when objects were (original) found by farmers digging an irrigation ditch (灌溉沟渠); it (highlight) the important moments in the past century's continued archaeological efforts, to reveal the myths surrounding Sanxingdui and the secrets yet (uncover).

Images of these objects found at Sanxingdui and their patterns have been digitalized, animated projected on screens, leading the audience into the ancient kingdom of Shu, a (civilize) that was brilliant for centuries in the southwest during the Zhou Dynasty, and disappeared suddenly, leaving many myths and legends.

Ding dong! I looked up from the couch. Who in the world could that be? My body was troubled with illness, so I'd1myself away. Friends telephoned, texted, emailed and sent cards. I didn't2, thinking that I had nothing to offer anyone in the miserable condition I was in.

I3got up and opened the door to a flower delivery. As I put the flowers on my dining table, I was struck by its4. It was comprised of solitary blossoms of many varieties that shouldn't really5yet somehow did. The mystery flowers had come in a blue jar, without a card.

The more I understood what the flowers were13, the more I started to remember the woman who might have14them before I separated myself from everyone and everything. My friends knew I was still that woman, with15beyond my health.

After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.

They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market.

A. They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.

B. Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.

C. Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.

D. However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.

E. Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.

Quite simply, there has never been a player like Messi who could continue, week in and week out, to defy the limits of the sport and continually surprise the entire sports world. Even athletes from other sports have expressed their disbelief at Messi's exploits on the field. NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant has said that Messi is the "greatest athlete that I've ever seen".

When we watch Messi on the field, it is easy to assume that Messi is simply a genius to play soccer at levels never before seen. Carlos Tévez, Messi's teammate on the Argentinean national team, says that "Messi is from another planet".

But is that where Lionel Messi's talent comes from? Is he a sort of Superman with supernatural soccer abilities? Our journey into the life story of Lionel Messi will show that Messi's rising to fame is the result of a life of struggle and sacrifice. We will see how an undersized boy from Argentina defied the odds and overcame numerous obstacles to become one of soccer's most important players… of all time.

Javier Mascherano, Messi's current Barcelona and Argentina teammate, says that "although he may not be human, it's good that Messi still thinks he is". Lionel Messi's modesty, shyness and quiet public behaviours spring from his own recognition of his humanity, characterized by a life of sacrifice.

After the plane landed, I took out my laptop and logged onto the airport WiFi so I could read the critique myself. It was harsh and thorough, pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data which we'd gathered from other studies.

The fallout was swift and intense. I received a flood of emails and messages. Some were from supportive colleagues, but many were harshly critical of our work. I felt deeply embarrassed by the criticism.

We wrote a draft response, correcting the apparent errors in the data set and defending our methods. We decided against publishing our response, however, after receiving feedback from peer reviewers.

When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable, I formally offered my resignation (辞职) to my department head. He didn't accept it, saying a resignation wasn't needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.

The experience helped me grow as a scientist. I learned that it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can't expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions.

In the end, the reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process—and one that shouldn't be viewed only through a negative lens. Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve. Honest mistakes happen, and researchers should be encouraged, not punished, for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work.

The MP3 has become a new fashion on campus. I had long dreamed of owning a MP3. The more MP3 owners were on campus, the stronger my desire (渴望) became. Finally, during one of my monthly visits home, I begged my parents to let me buy one, "Dad, Mom, I ... I want to buy a MP3 ... , the one for …"

I swallowed (吞咽) the rest of my words. Did I really need to explain what a MP3 was? Surely everybody knew!

At first there was no response from my parents. But my little brother replied eagerly, "Me too!"

Then finally my dad spoke, "What! What is it for? This little stuff breaks down soon after you get it! It's an absolutely useless expense (花费) …"

Then, I had an idea. When the summer vacation came, I lied to my parents that I couldn't stay at home, because the school had supplementary (附加的) programs. As a result, I earned my money for a new MP3 through my part-time job.

I was at home the night before my new school when Mom came into my room. She sat on my bed, and patted me on the shoulder. Then she handed me a small box. "Take this. Don't tell your father ... Now, study hard, okay?" she said softly.

"Mom, how did you ... ?" I asked.

"It's from my own savings. Your father doesn't know." I sat alone for a long time with my new MP3, weeping (哭泣) silently.

When I went back to school, I decided to give up my part-time job so that I could study harder for my parents, for my dream. My motivation (动机) to study has never been so strong.

Adam, a freshman at senior high school, was a little (confuse) about his first week. First, he wondered which courses he wanted (take).

(luck), the school adviser helped him a lot. One of the courses he chose is Chinese, because he hopes he can speak it (fluent) after graduation. He also signed up advanced literature because he likes English and he is good at it. Besides, he wanted to join the school football team, the coach told him that he didn't play well enough. he felt unhappy, he didn't lose heart and decided to practice (play) football so that he could join it next year. Instead, Adam (join) a volunteer club to do his best to help the homeless in the community.

As a freshman, Adam met with some (difficulty), but he didn't quit. He tried his best to study harder to get well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.

The first few weeks were2. There was so much new information to take in, and the homework was3 than in junior high. I felt a little4 and homesick sometimes. One day, our head teacher noticed my5. She said to me, "It's okay to feel this way. Everyone needs time to6. Why not try to join a club? It's a good way to meet people."

I took her7 I signed up for the basketball club because I loved sports. At the first practice, I was8 to see that many guys were friendly and welcomed me. We practiced together and soon I9 several good friends. Through basketball, I learned the importance of10 and teamwork. My new friends and I also studied together. We11each other with difficult problems.

Now, I feel much more12 about my school life. I've learned that challenges are a13 of growth. When I look back, I'm14 for that difficult beginning because it taught me how to15 problems and ask for help.

Write it down.. Make a note on your notebook. Always be sure to write down any homework for school so you won't forget anything.

Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to work. Never do your homework in front of the TV. It will take twice as long to get the homework done., log off your computer (unless you will need it for your homework) and close the door.

Do homework as early as possible. Don't leave homework to die last minute. Start as soon as you get home., the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don't have a pile of (一堆) homework the next day.

.Think about how long it will take you to complete each homework subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.

Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stop-ping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break. Just make sure it's quick (no more than 15 minutes). Do not turn on the TV, or you'll never go back and finish your homework.

A. Use your time wisely

B. The earlier you start your homework

C. Begin with your hardest homework

D. You can take a walk or find something to eat

E. Shut off your cell phone

F. After short breaks,return to finish up the last of your work

G. Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework

However, others think social media can be a good tool. It lets teens connect with friends easily: for example, they can video chat with a friend who moved away, or share funny jokes in a small group. It also helps them learn about the world — like watching short videos about animals, or reading posts from scientists talking about space. What's more, it lets them show their creativity (创造力)：some teens draw on phone apps and share works, or write short stories about weekends and post them. Banning (禁止) it completely may only make them more curious — they might sneak (偷偷摸摸) to use it without parents knowing — or hide what they do online, which is riskier.

The key is balance (平衡). Parents should talk openly with kids about online safety — like telling them not to share home address or phone number with strangers — and set fair rules. For example, agree teens use social media 1 hour a day, and not during homework time or before bed. Schools can also teach skills to use the internet well: like showing how to check if a news story is real (by looking at trusted websites), or what to do if someone is rude online (block (屏蔽) them and tell a teacher).

One day, an elderly lady visited the store. At first sight, I was drawn to her. She was neatly (整洁地) dressed and had a graceful presence, looking polite and friendly. She lived in a senior citizen apartment nearby and wanted to buy some chairs for her garden. After a short search, I found some chairs that met her needs. She bought two chairs and asked if I could help send them to her home just a stone's throw away. Recognizing her old age, I agreed and carried the chairs to her building.

Upon arrival, she welcomed me warmly and showed me where to place the chairs. Before I could thank her for shopping in my parents' store, she shocked me by placing a handful of candy in my hand. Then, to my amazement, she gave me an educational book. I politely rejected it, explaining that I couldn't accept any presents. However, she put the book in my hand and said with a smile, "If your parents don't want you to have this, just don't tell them. Let me tell them instead." We both laughed, and I thanked her sincerely. I decided to follow her advice, and she told my parents that she had given me a book as a reward for my hard work. With the book, I learned a lot and started my lifelong love for reading.

Reflecting on this experience, I often think of the elderly lady and hope she will live a joyful life surrounded by loved ones forever. Her generosity and humor have left a lasting impression on me.

When I got to school on the morning of the first day, I realized how large the school was and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. And then a kind senior showed up and guided me to my classroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Jimmy. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher.

After finishing four classes, I didn't feel too bad. However, the fifth class changed everything. I didn't feel ready after all. My literature teacher is Mr. Smith. He told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this term. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was anxious.

The courses in high school seem like they're going to get much harder, but they haven't yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting.

The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds and the seniors, having a totally different experience that I had never had before was really exciting.

Now, I'm really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I'm meeting new people.

Sylvia came to her grandmother's farm a year ago. The air in the countryside felt free, soft and sweet. Every day she would spend some time in the woods nearby. Some birds even came close to her, singing around.

One day in the evening, a tall young man carrying a gun approached their farm house. He was lost and asked for a night's stay. Sylvia's grandma agreed.

The young man introduced himself as an ornithologist (鸟类学家), who collected bird specimens (标本). "I have over 100 kinds of specimens in my study." Sylvia felt her heart trembling as she imagined so many birds being shot.

"Sylvia knows a lot about birds, too." her grandmother said proudly. The young man became thrilled. "I have followed a rare white heron (鹭) in this direction for two days. Have you seen it?" he asked Sylvia. Sylvia's heart gave a wild beat. She had seen the strange bird on the other side of the woods. "I would give $100 to whoever showed me where the white heron is." But Sylvia was silent.

That night, the young man had fallen asleep, but Sylvia was broad awake. Her mind was alternatively visited by the bird specimens and the wished-for treasures 100 dollars could buy.

When dawn was breaking, Sylvia quietly left her house and finally reached an old pine tree. Sylvia climbed to the top. Below her, a white heron was smoothing its feathers at leisure and cried to its mate nearby. Sylvia couldn't help sighing at such harmony, knowing it was her calling to sustain…
