, learning English online is actually a great way for English learners. 

As we all know, English is referred to as an international language,  (wide) used in global affairs. No matter  kind of English people are speaking, native speakers have no trouble (understand) the words like "petrol" "subway" "apartment" "pants" "semester" and other words despite the small differences in vocabulary. However, Chinese, which is increasingly popular around the world, is regarded as the most (demand) language, especially for non-native learners. Firstly, even the commonly-used Pu Tong Hua in China is hard enough to learn, let alone (variety) of dialects. Secondly, Chinese characters are abstract symbols for them. The writing system, dating back to the Shang Dynasty when people carved something with specific meanings  bones or shells, is like strange pictures. However, based on the common  (appreciate) of these characters, some classic works are still read now and by this means we can know more about the ups and downs in ancient times. Besides, calligraphy is also an art form closely (relate) to Chinese culture. (bridge) the gap between cultures, the two languages both play an equally important role, for  we should work hard on it, especially as students. 

Emily and Zoe had been best friends since second grade. They went to the same school, played on the same soccer team, and even wore matching bracelets (手链). Everyone around them said they were like two sides of the same coin. They believed nothing could come between them. But things started to change when a new girl Daisy came to their class.

One day, their teacher, Mr. Lynn, announced a big group project. "Pick a partner," he said. Emily immediately turned to Zoe, expecting her usual smile and a quick "yes." But to her surprise. Zoe was already talking to Daisy. "I'm going to work with Daisy this time," Zoe said to Emily, almost too casually. Emily felt like the air had been knocked out of her. She nodded and forced a smile, but inside, she was confused and hurt. That night, she stared at her phone screen, hoping for a message that never came.

Over the next few days, she avoided Zoe. Their texts stopped, they no longer sat together during lunch, and the bracelets they once wore daily were now left at home. Even during class, Emily found it hard to focus, her mind replaying the moment when Zoe chose someone else.

Weeks passed. The school organized a three-day camping trip in the mountains. Students were divided into several groups. Emily and Zoe ended up in the same one, along with Daisy and two other classmates. Though they barely spoke, they worked together to put up tents and gather firewood. Their conversations were limited to short, polite exchanges — nothing like before.

On the second night, dark clouds rolled in and heavy rain soon followed. Everyone rushed into their own tents. Emily quickly discovered that hers was leaking. Cold and upset, she went outside, seeking for help. The wind howled around her, and each raindrop felt like a tiny needle against her skin.

Electric vehicle giant BYD recently launched a new charging system in China, gaining it an advantageous position in the world's auto market. The automaker advertised its system, named "Super e-Platform", as one that can charge its latest models in just five minutes, (allow) them to travel up to 400 kilometers.

Assigned a 10C rating, e-platform can reach full charge in just six minutes. The C-rate is an industry measurement standard a 1C rating means the battery can be fully charged in one hour. Therefore, a 10C rating indicates the battery can achieve full charge in one-tenth of an hour, which (equal) six minutes.

"We've always been in (pursue) of speedy charging," BYD founder Wang Chuanfu said "The new battery's peak charging power can reach 1,000 kilowatts. This is the first time in the industry that the unit of megawatt (兆瓦) (achieve) on charging power."

The e-platform works by delivering a large current (电流) to the charging car, high currents tend to generate heat that damages EV batteries. To get around this, BYD says it (massive) reduced the internal resistance inside the battery.

This technology is currently only available in China, and the company has yet (confirm) whether it will make it available internationally. If (popularize), BYD's new charging platform represents a major innovation that could help transform the electric car market.

I've never been fond of cold water. If the2 isn't to my liking, I'm not going to3 myself from the pool's edge like a missile (导弹). I'm the type of person who4 their time easing into the water, lowering myself step-by-step, and5 my body to get used to the icy depths.

My complicated relationship with water is6 my dad, who I don't think has ever looked7 he dived. I wasn't raised on the river like he was. Shortly after I was born, we8 to central Florida, far away from the rapids of my father's youth.

When we finally made it to the La Mina Falls, I was worn out. My dad was already knee-deep in the water and9 fast, while I was resting on a rock. He paused, looking over at me and10, perhaps for the first time, that I had11 him into the forest, He waved his hand at me, and I12 my shoes. I knew if l touched the water with my toe in the first place, I wouldn't get in. So, I jumped into the13 water, not completely without hesitation, where a14 combination of accomplishment and regret washed over me.

When I broke the surface, I15 my dad staring at me. "Your grandfather brought me here once when I was a kid." His voice faded away into the water.

Negative emotions are an unavoidable part of the human experience. They can arise in various situations. , they serve important functions. Understanding how to tackle these feelings is vital for emotional well-being.

Breathing exercises for immediate relief

. When faced with overwhelming feelings, you can take a few moments to focus on your breath to help calm your mind and body. Techniques such as deep breathing or the 4-7-8method can reduce feelings of anxiety and promote relaxation. Regular practice of breathing exercises can also contribute to long-term emotional regulation.

Mindfulness meditation (冥想) for emotional regulation

It is a powerful practice for emotional regulation and managing negative emotions. By focusing on the present moment and observing thoughts and feelings without judgment, individuals can nurse a sense of calm. This practice helps in recognizing negative emotions as they arise, allowing for a more balanced response rather than an impulsive (冲动的) reaction. .

Physical activity to channel emotions

Engaging in physical activity is a great way to channel negative emotions and promote mental well-being. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifers, helping to ease feelings of sadness and anxiety. , physical activity provides an outlet for emotional expression. Regular exercise can also improve sleep quality and reduce stress, leading to a more balanced emotional state.

They can be beneficial in managing negative emotions and fostering a positive mindset. By imagining a peaceful scene or a desired outcome, individuals can shift their focus away from negative feelings. These techniques allow the mind to create a sense of calm and control, which can reduce anxiety and stress, creating a positive mental environment that supports emotional healing.

A. Using visualization techniques.

B. Strengthening emotional intelligence.

C. While they may make us uncomfortable.

D. These emotions can arise from various situations.

E. Whether it's going for a run, practicing yoga or even dancing.

F. They are an effective way to achieve immediate relief from negative emotions.

G. It not only aids in managing emotions but also promotes overall mental well-being.

Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain-scanning electrodes and tiny eye-tracking cameras to mice. They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day, such as observing them during sleep. (Fun fact: mice can sleep with their eyes open.)

The study revealed two distinct substages during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, a critical period for memory formation. One substage replayed new memories, coinciding with narrowed pupils. The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils. The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages, the mice's ability to remember new information was limited considerably.

The research identified a transition stage between these two substages, which serves as an intermediate (中间的) period that separates new learning from old knowledge. The results suggest that the brain can multitask distinct cognitive processes during sleep to facilitate continuous learning without interference. It's like new learning, old knowledge, new learning, old knowledge, shifting slowly throughout sleep.

The implications of the study are far-reaching: such a non-invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory, for example. The study also supports the hypothesis (假说) that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information. Catastrophic forgetting, known in AI, is an area where machines still fall behind biology. What's more, the findings provide a potential solution for preventing catastrophic interference while enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks.

Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains, similar studies need to be conducted in humans to verify these results.

The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. "Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have," said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, "but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes."

To do the analysis, Edwin categorized the cognitive demands of 305 occupations in Norway. More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. "There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching," Edwin said, "as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers' understandings of students' different situations and teachers' empathy."

Having a routine job with little mental stimulation during your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is linked to a 66% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment and a 37% greater risk of dementia after the age of 70, when compared with having an occupation — that requires more complex thinking. "The occupational environment is vital in promoting cognitive well-being." said Edwin. "Similarly, just like we can use physical exercise to grow and maintain our muscles, exercising our brain through more challenging work assignments seems to help fight dementia."

"While I'd guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits," Edwin added.

So, what exactly makes some people more attractive to mosquitoes than others? Science reveals that a variety of factors might make you more preferable to mosquitoes, from your skin microorganisms and carbon dioxide emitted in your breath to the color of clothing you're wearing, with colors like red, orange, and black being the most attractive to mosquitoes. But in the end, much of the variation in mosquito preference comes down to two factors: our natural and distinctive body smell and genetics. Only the females bite humans and they do it to get a "blood meal", absorbing proteins from our blood to produce their eggs. They use their palps (触须) to detect carbon dioxide and the distinctive smell. That means people whose body systems work at a faster pace and emit more carbon dioxide including those who are pregnant, exercising, or drinking alcohol tend to be more attractive to mosquitoes.

The question of whether mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type is controversial. One hypothesis suggests that blood type may also help determine mosquito preference. If that's the case, what blood type do mosquitoes like? The hypothesis said that the major mosquito vector of dengue virus (登革病毒) preferred people with type O blood to those with other blood types.

However, separate research notes that experimental and laboratory data evaluating whether blood type makes one person more or less attractive to mosquitoes has fueled a lot of assumptions. But the result is contradictory. Instead the researchers report that the likelihood of being a "mosquito magnet" has more to do with skin odors and microorganisms than blood type.
