Today was my first day back in San Francisco after (camp) in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it (definite) feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild (it) after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.

My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town,it is now a centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an art (move) called the "Mission School" started here. It's influenced by graffiti art and comic art.

In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum showed the historical changes in California.I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold (discover) near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300,000 people came from all over the world (seek) their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different (country) and cultures. When these immigrants left their countries, actually they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.

At the park, Freddy and his classmates saw many different kinds of4. They were very beautiful. Then they went to5 a bird show. The birds performed(表演)so6. Freddy loved the show a lot.

Many people often lack energy and feel tired. If you are one of them, take the following suggestions to become an energetic person and make use of your full potential.

Manage your stress. If you are upset by emotions that result from stress, you will likely find that you have run out of energy. To control your stress, consider talking things out with a close friend or perhaps consulting a psychiatrist.

Take a nap when it is possible. Although you might be busy every day, there is always some time to get a few minutes of shut-eye. Don't sleep too long, or you might experience difficulty in falling asleep normally that night, which will throw off your whole sleep schedule.

Foods that have too much sugar can lead to glucose fluctuations (血糖波动) which then cause energy levels to decrease. Many people suffer from low energy due to a lack of protein. For fast and effective energy change, you can eat a few handfuls of nuts.

Schedule your time in a practical, realistic manner. Being too busy can decrease your productivity and do harm to your mental health. So try to get one day of relaxation a week.

Exercise out. Exercising out ensures sound sleep at night, and it helps oxygen to circulate, providing the cells with higher amounts of energy to burn. It also leaves you feeling refreshed and full of energy.

A. Eat less.

B. Sing alone or get up and dance.

C. Consider what you eat and drink.

D. Naps should be a maximum of 30 minutes.

E. In other words, emotions caused by stress eat up your energy.

F. This allows your body to get enough rest and gain energy for next week.

G. One highly effective way to become energetic is doing exercise regularly.

Cambodian people first came to the 38th District when they escaped from being killed by the Khmer Rouge during the 1970s. Cambodian traditions are kept alive in the celebration of the Cambodian New Year in April, which features (以……为特色) native food, religious events, and traditional Cambodian dances, with their costumes and beautiful movements. The Hmong people, who came to the 38th District because of the war in Vietnam, celebrate their New Year in December. Wearing colorful costumes, singing native songs and playing native instruments, the Hmong celebrate New Year by performing ceremonies to honor the dead and the spirits of nature.The tradition of the Indo­Americans in the District is kept through their social, professional and political clubs, and by wearing their traditional dress and performing folk dances from India. The Chamorro people, first from the Mariana Islands and Guam in the Pacific, hold an annual cultural fair in Long Beach; central to the Chamorran tradition is respect for elders, religious beliefs, storytelling, dancing, canoemaking, and the production of tools. Marking the end of slavery, Juneteenth was first celebrated on June 19 in Galveston, Texas, in 1865. Today African­Americans in Long Beach celebrate the holiday with choir performances, African dances and displays of African art products.

Individual events also help to combine many races and nationalities in the 38th District. Kidsday recognizes the outstanding achievements of 100 to 200 Downey youth in academic, athletic and community­based activities. Other 38th District events include the annual Downey Youth Fishing Day and the Anaheim International Festival street fair. The Long Beach Municipal Band is also important to the 38th District and so is Long Beach's sister city of Sochi, Russia.

Gradually, her health broke down, and she began to think that she could never work any more, but after a long rest in England, she came back to America and did something far greater than teaching. She went through the whole country where she first observed the inhumane treatment of the mentally ill. During Dorothea's traveling for nearly two years throughout the state, and meeting similar conditions, she always spoke kindly to the ill-treated, but she spoke wrathfully to the men who ill-treated them. In January 1843, she submitted to the Massachusetts legislature (立法机关) a detailed report of her fully documented findings.

In the next 40 years Dorothea inspired legislators in 15 US states and in Canada to establish state hospitals for the mentally ill. Her continuous efforts directly affected the building of 32 institutions in the United States. When the Civil War broke out, she went straight to Washington and offered to nurse the soldiers without pay. She hired houses to keep supplies in and bought an ambulance. She gave her time, strength and money to her country.

Dorothea Dix has been called the most useful woman of America. She is an, American educator, social reformer and humanitarian whose devotion to the welfare of the mentally ill led to widespread reforms in the United States and abroad.

Not much is known about Gellar's character on the show, except for the fact that she is playing Kristin Ramsey, an expert who moves to Los Angeles to find the person who started the wildfires. She spoke to Fox News Digital about her big return to TV, and explained why she thought she was drawn to projects featuring monsters (怪物).

"For me, it's always about the stories, and in talking today, we have discovered that the superhuman allows you to tell the most human stories because it really allows you to use these monsters to explore emotions, fears and anxieties that you can't experience in other worlds," Gellar explained.

"I think it's a really important conversation that people will be along for the ride, but then realize what the meaning is behind all of it," she added. Gellar's co-star, Rodrigo, agreed with her, saying he hoped audiences could look at the deeper meanings behind the monsters on the show and realize they were all metaphors (隐喻) to discuss in our own inner monsters."

Gellar recently told SFX Magazine she was very proud of the show.

Dear Susan,

I have some exciting news to share with you.

As temperatures rise throughout China, farmers have launched the spring plowing season, an essential part of the country's agricultural calendar. Spring plowing, known as chun geng in Chinese, (set) the foundation for the year's grain production.

In the North China Plain, wheat is a major crop, farmers have been busy preparing the soil, carefully tested and certified by local agricultural stations, a good harvest. Meanwhile, in southern provinces, farmers are transplanting young plants into waterlogged fields.

Recently, Chinese authorities have (steady) promoted the development of new-quality productive forces in agriculture, targeting smart agriculture as a technological breakthrough to enhance efficiency in farming. One good example is Henan's "Central-China Agricultural Valley" project, which (equip) with monitoring stations and satellites. It constantly collects data related to grain growth sends it to an analytic system, providing timely (guide) for farmers.

The Chinese are holding firmly onto (they) rice bowls and behind this, agricultural technology is playing an increasingly important role. Technological contributions now represent notable 60% of agricultural growth in 2023. Song Lili, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua. "With (limit) farmland, innovation is vital to ensure stable grain production."

Set daily goals. Every day should be a little bit more successful than the day before. Set yourself small daily goals to guide you toward your larger and more aspirational goals. For example, if your goal is to write a book, set a daily goal of writing a single page.They also provide a small reward for completing them, and they provide a sense of progress that can feel very satisfying and motivating.

. Try your best to create an environment that encourages and cultivates your work. The most productive people in history have always been those who have some method of ridding themselves of excess anxiety and stress. Studies suggest that increased mental clarity has been shown to improve almost every aspect of productivity..

Stop the procrastinating habit. People procrastinate for different reasons. Some find it overwhelming to deal with significant life challenges or significant life changes. Procrastination can often be a way of coping with these challenges by giving them a "later" date.. Once you understand why you procrastinate, you can take steps to overcome it.

A. Make Your Task More Enjoyable.

B. Establish an Environment that Nurtures Work.

C. For example, listening to music or reading a book can help clear your mind.

D. It can also be due to low energy, lack of ambition, and sometimes, even laziness.

E. Daily goals can help reduce procrastination because they are clear and easy to see.

F. By setting small goals, you can gradually build up your confidence and motivation.

G. The key is to identify the root cause of your procrastination, so that you can address it head-on.

At first thought, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesn't do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though.

Today's instant electronic memos — such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages — are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation (称呼语) and the signoff (签收); we already know the "to" and "from." Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read — and respond to — on the go.

The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring great convince to people. They can deal with them at about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these messages are very brief, they're suitable for smart phone typing.

Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral — you read them, then they're gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.

So, e-mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition (过度) like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old one completely; it just adds new alternatives.

Andrew Gallup, a yawn expert from the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute, explains that a natural yawn has nothing to do with boosting oxygen levels. Instead, it may make you feel more awake and seems to be caused by rises in brain temperature. One study, from Baylor University, suggests that catching a yawn is all about empathy (共情) — the ability to feel the emotions of others. The study shows that people who struggle to empathize with others are less likely to find a yawn catching.

It's not just humans who yawn, though. Scientists have studied the behaviour in chimps (黑猩猩), wolves, sheep, sea animals and pet dogs. Do animals feel empathy too? A study of lions in South Africa found that after yawning, they would synchronize their movements. This shows that a gaping mouth could be a way for the big cats to feel each other's feelings, which is particularly important for highly social species such as lions. By copying each other, yawning may actually increase the awareness of a group as a whole.

Gallup says that this behaviour might have developed to keep groups of humans safe. Seeing a person yawning might therefore cause an observer to pay more attention. Gallup conducted a study to test this theory. He showed a number of people pictures of snakes, which are seen as a threat, and frogs, which are not, before and after they had watched a video of others yawning. While watching the video didn't affect their ability to spot the non-threatening frogs, they were much better at spotting threatening snakes after watching others yawn.

So the next time someone yawns, don't assume it's because they're bored. A yawn can mean many things, from showing empathy to communicating with others, or even protecting them from danger.

Susan had a secret: she loved robots. She had helped her dad in his workshop and knew a lot about motors, but her friends didn't know this.

One day, she heard Alex and Jacob talking about their robot, Robbie. They were preparing for a big competition but Robbie wasn't working properly. Susan was surprised by their courage, as they always seemed unpopular among the boys. She felt bad for them and wanted to help.

On the school bus home, Susan sat behind Alex and Jacob, who were still trying to fix their robot. "This is impossible! The legs move before you press the switch and stop after you press the switch!" Alex said, looking at Robbie's legs, which were not moving right. "The competition is only eight days away!" Jacob looked sad. He thought they were going to lose.

"Umm, how did you connect the wires from the switch?" Susan asked quietly over their shoulders. Alex turned and gave her a cautious look. Susan smiled and asked, "Did you connect the NO wire or the NC wire to the motor?" The boys stared at her as if she had just landed from Mars.

Susan gently took the robot and pointed out the wire connected to the motor. "Here's the problem!" She explained that it was the NC wire. It means the circuit (电路) is Normally Closed. She then pulled a loose wire out of the robot and explained that it was the NO wire, which means Normally Open. "If you connect this wire instead, Robbie will walk when you press the switch." Susan handed the robot back to Alex, who was staring at her with his mouth open.

"Change the wires and see," she said before getting off the bus. Ten minutes later, her phone rang. It was Jacob: "Your idea worked, and we're wondering if you could come over and help improve our Robbie." Susan smiled. She knew she had made the right choice.

Currently under construction off the country's northeast coast, the Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport will eventually cover 8-square-mile island with four runways and a 969,000 sq ft passenger terminal, according to an airport statement. Its operators aim (handle) 80 million passengers per year across 540,000 flights, with the first phase due to open in 2035. "The country's largest offshore airport is rising slowly from the sea level like the sunrise in the east," (read) a post by Dalian Jinzhou Bay International on Chinese social media platform WeChat. Once (accomplish), it will become the world's largest airport on an artificial island, surpassing both Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) and Japan's Kansai Airport (KIX). "There have been great challenges to the construction," Li Xiang, chief engineer of Dalian Airport Construction and Development Co., Ltd., told state-run local media in October, "as not only does the project have complex geological conditions and high drilling difficulty, high demand in quality with a tight construction schedule is another challenge we have to take into account."

As it is, it is the city of Dalian, with a population of 7.5 million, has long been a transport hub due to its proximity to Japan and South Korea. Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport, the city's international airport, has been operating for nearly a century, has already met its maximum capacity and (expand) several times these years, according to YiCai Global, a state-linked newspaper. The city started site selection and (demonstrate) work on the new airport in 2003, but construction only began in earnest a few years ago. China's aviation (boom) fast, new airports are a key part and surprisingly, the country is on track to pass the United States and become the world's largest air travel market.

Reggie didn't like it, but his friend Michael hated it more and decided things had to be3. He proposed the Day of Silence: in honour of Reggie, they should set aside one day for4 people, when everyone would have to wear earplugs (耳塞).

People liked the5. When the day arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears, in a spirit of great6. That morning was filled with jokes and laughter. But, as the hours passed, people became aware of how7 life was when one couldn't hear anything.

However, that was nothing compared to the greatest8 of the day: Reggie was amazing! Just using his9 body language, he was the best to communicate with everyone. People paid more attention to what Reggie was saying, and were10 by his intelligence. They realized all Reggie needed was a little more11 to enable communication. That was the only12.

So on the Day of Silence, Reggie's true13 became known. And everyone realised you have to give people a chance to show how14 they are. They also learn that you couldn't hear the slightest thing until you truly15.

We all know the feeling — you want to check what someone you care about has been up to on social media, and suddenly you find you are denied access to their feeds. It's an instant start of mixed emotions and speculations — When did this happen? Did I do anything wrong? What are they attempting to hide from me?

And that's what half of Chinese parents have to deal with when they try to browse their children's WeChat Moments, also known as "Friends' Circle", as suggested by a recent survey released by Tencent, the Chinese Internet giant. According to the report, entitled Annual White Paper on Family Affection on WeChat Moments, about 52 percent of WeChat users aged 18 to 29 block their parents on Moments, a major feature on the platform that allows users to share everything they like with their WeChat contacts.

About 62 percent of the young interviewees said that parents "are neurotic about everything", along with reasons such as fear of parents' disapproval, rejection to parents' nagging (唠叨), and seeking privacy. "My parents don't know Moments very well, so I just told them I don't use it anymore," said Qin Jianping, a 28-year-old son. He added that his parents had been leaving comments requesting updates on his dating status on every post he made on Moments since he broke up with his girlfriend two years ago. Xie Yun, a 26- year-old daughter, said that while she didn't block her parents entirely, they were in a specific group to which she only shares positive posts. "I don't want my parents to see minor setbacks in my life," she said, adding that once her parents saw a Moments picture of her hand getting slightly burned while cooking, and they traveled all the way to her city to make sure she was all right.

The report also found that more than 49 percent of Chinese parents use WeChat as a main channel to communicate with their children. Roughly 36 percent of the parents who took the survey said they checked every post made by their children. When asked how they would react to being blocked, some parents said they would initiate a conversation with their children to find out the reason, while others said they wouldn't care. And some parents just outsmart their kids in this hide-and-seek game online. "I didn't realize I was blocked until I compared what I could see on my phone to what my son's aunt could see," said Chen, a mother of a 27-year-old son. "I chose to remain silent on this and now I'm following my son's posts through his aunt."
