On behalf of his hometown team from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Rozimemet Turghun, an 18-year-old teenager whose parents made a living from herding, (stand) among more than 4,000 competitors at the second Vocational Skills Competition.

Although he didn't win a medal in the mobile robotics competition, his (enthusiastic) never faded. When he was in hometown, he developed a preference for repairing household electronics. Even instructions, he was able to repair electronic stuff like lamps and radios. After (leave) senior high school, he studied at Aksu Technical College.

The chance came last year, Zhao Pengfei, vice-dean of the electrical and mechanical engineering department, started organizing a team for a skills competition. Rozimemet Turghun's (impress) abilities caught Zhao's eye. He (choose) to join the team, and focused on technologies (relate) to industrial robot applications. The competition was (obvious) a challenge for someone with little experience with computers. Rozimemet Turghun acquired the skills, memorized the position of each part and practiced each step, day and night.

One month later, he and his teammate won a bronze during the Xinjiang tryout for the second Vocational Skills Competition. They surprised everyone by completing a mobile robot in just 2 hours and 12 minutes, achievement that would have been beyond his wildest dreams. He hoped to sharpen his skills and step onto even broader stages.

As I grew older, my dreams of playing basketball in college and maybe even the NBA4 due to a series of injuries. Joining the Army to fund my education would have been a workable5, but for a semi-truck accident, which6 me to quit that dream as well. Despite these hardships, I remained7 and kept working hard.

As I reflect on my journey, I must8 that moments of doubt once held me back. The pain and damage to my body were unbearable, and I was9 of what the future held. At my10 point, I weighed over 300 pounds and formed a terrible lifestyle. It wasn't until I hit rock bottom that I realized the crucial role that11 played in overcoming adversity.

Unexpectedly, these12 led me to a career in sales and business where I learnt to hold firm, to13 rejection, and to keep pushing forward, which14 the way for starting my own advisory firm. It's been a challenging journey, but I have transformed my struggles into15, persevered through the tough times and come out stronger on the other side.

We've all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back by what, maybe three to five minutes? Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you'd really rather avoid.

In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn't really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you're grateful for the inconvenience.

While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.

"I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn't do it." said Dhruv's mom Dr. Mantri. "I decided to change the way he looked at numbers," she said. "An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid." In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.

She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround, that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.

IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. "It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them." She added.

By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. "He is so confident now and I am so proud," she said, with Dhruv adding "I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."

Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk.

When I was just a 6-year-old kid, my mother would frequently take me to our local community centre to play with my friends of similar age.

At that time, my mother was a preschool teacher and also one of the volunteers for children's services in the community. She not only loved me, but also loved every child in our community. She always believed that loneliness does not belong to children, and playing together can develop a healthy state in children. Therefore, she always tried her best to bring me along to participate in these various fun activities for children.

We children chased on the lawn (草坪), played hide-and-seek games, and played various animal games. We burst into excited shouts. Our joyful laughter was everywhere, and every time we didn't want to be separated, we looked forward to the next time like this coming again quickly. Looking back now, this is the most unforgettable period of my childhood.

One sunny afternoon, when we were playing outside, one of my friends brought a visiting relative, who clung to (紧紧抓住) his cousin like a shadow, eyes wide with nervousness. The unfamiliar boy immediately caught our attention, and we gathered around to observe him, teasing (逗弄) him to speak. That boy was very shy, with his head down and a red face.

He had a speech impediment (障碍) and couldn't get his mouth to cooperate. He couldn't even say the name of the town where he lived. I had never seen someone stutter (结巴) like that. I thought he must have been joking, so I laughed. My friend shot me a concerned glance, but my giggles (咯咯笑) continued. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mother looking at me with an expression that I'd never seen before. It was a mix of horror, anger, and shame, all focused on me, which stopped my laughing instantly.

Even as temperatures kept dropping in China's northeastern "ice city" of Harbin, excitement rose among a group of swimmers who enjoy jumping into (freeze) waters.

The daily event, known as ice swimming, is winter tradition in Harbin. Swimmers train daily throughout the year (get) their bodies ready for the unusual swim.

One of the swimmers was Chen Xia. She came from Zhejiang province about 1,700 kilometres further south. She decided to jump into the river even though she had a cold. Chen said in the city she lives, the winter waters are warmer than those in Harbin. She said the experience strengthened her (confident) in winter swimming. She has been taking part in the activity for about 20 years.

Yu Xiaofeng lives in Harbin, a city that (sit) near the border with Russia. The 61-year-old said winter swimming in the city dates back the 1970s. At that time, locals saw Russian Orthodox religious (宗教的) believers being baptized (给……施洗礼) in the river. Later in 1983, an official winter swimming group (establish) in Harbin.

The city also holds an ongoing winter celebration known for (it) huge, detailed ice and snow sculptures. Winter swimming is considered a sport in China. But it gained popularity much (fast) in Harbin than in other parts of the country. Today, Yu said the city is considered a "holy land" for winter swimming.

Mirady Acosta , a 63-year-old architect who represents the Hospital for Soft Toys, said the3 came from a teacher named Lilian Gluck. In 2017, she did not want to throw her children's toys out or let them4. She decided to wash them,5 them up and donate them to children staying in the University Hospital of Caracas.

The effort was6. So, a few months later, she opened the Hospital for Soft Toys at her home. It is a nonprofit foundation that also7 and repairs other toys. The foundation receives donations from other countries that can8 school supplies, shoes, food and candy.

The toys are9 to hospitals and schools in poor areas, but also to homes for older people-anyone who needs a little bit of10.

Each11 doll comes with a message12 its new owner to recycle it when they no longer want it.

Lower caffeine, fewer side effects

Tea has less caffeine than coffee.. A cup of tea usually has 20 to 60 milligrams of caffeine, while coffee has 80 to 100 milligrams. If you're sensitive to caffeine, tea is a better choice. Plus, herbal teas like chamomile have no caffeine and can help you relax.

A powerhouse of antioxidants(抗氧化剂)

Tea is packed with antioxidants.. They can help protect your body from diseases like heart problems and cancer. Green tea has a lot of a special antioxidant called EGCG, which is great for your cells and can even help you age more slowly. Black tea has other good chemicals that help keep your heart healthy.

Different types of aircraft operate under various air traffic regulations. Commercial jets typically fly at higher altitudes due to their size and engine capabilities, which allows them to avoid turbulence (湍流) and optimize fuel efficiency. In contrast, smaller private planes usually fly at altitudes below 25,000 feet. This altitude difference is partly due to the limited capabilities of smaller aircraft and the need to maintain safe distances from commercial traffic.

The positive aspect of these regulations is that they enhance safety in the skies. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ensures that aircraft maintain vertical (垂直的) separation from each other at flying altitudes. This reduces the risk of mid-air collisions (碰撞). Additionally, operating at higher altitudes allows planes to avoid weather disturbances, such as thunderstorms and turbulence, further improving passenger comfort and safety.

On the negative side, altitude restrictions can limit the operational flexibility of some aircraft. Smaller planes may be restricted by regulatory limits, which can hinder (阻碍) their flight paths and efficiency. According to a study by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in 2019, lower operating altitudes can increase exposure to obstacles such as buildings and terrain, raising safety concerns for private pilots.

To optimize flight safety and efficiency, pilots should adhere to regulatory altitude limits based on their aircraft type. They should also consider factors such as weather conditions and airspace restrictions. For private pilots, flying in controlled airspace may require altitude adjustments to ensure obedience. It is essential for all pilots to stay informed about regulations from agencies like the FAA to make safe and informed flight decisions.

People with ADHD often struggle with focusing, organizing, and controlling their actions. AI tools can help them do tasks faster. But experts say these tools should not replace traditional treatments for ADHD, like learning organizational skills or taking medicine. John Mitchell, a professor at Duke University, says AI should be used as "one tool in a toolbox" He compares it to a life preserver in water; it helps you stay afloat but doesn't teach you how to swim.

Becky also uses ChatGPT for shopping and meal planning, which are tasks that can be hard for people with ADHD. She shares her methods on TikTok to help others.

Bram de Buyser, a software engineer, created Goblin tools, which helps with making to-do lists. He says he's not trying to cure ADHD but to help for a few minutes each day.

However, there are concerns about using AI. Russell Fulmer, a professor at Husson University, says the research on AI and ADHD is not clear yet. He worries that AI might not work well for everyone.

Valese Jones, who has ADHD, uses AI bots (机器人程序) for emails and proofreading. But she says the responses don't always show her true self or her culture.

Using AI chatbots has its benefits, like never being tired or needing sleep. But there are also privacy issues. When you use these bots, you give a lot of personal information to big companies.

In summary, AI tools can help people with ADHD manage tasks better, but they should be used carefully and not replace traditional treatments.
