Much of this is encoded as natural instinct. When a baby is born, it needn't be taught how to breathe or cry —this is hard-wired into our DNA. We know that when tired we need to sleep and when hungry we need to eat. The same goes for animals. Within two hours of being born, a foal attempts its first steps with little guidance from its parent, all from instinct.

As well as our basic instincts, our genetics can carry more complex abilities, knowledge and reflexes. Findings have also hinted that our facial expressions could be hard-wired behaviors. Babies start to smile at around two — again, this isn't specifically taught. Although they may take in the expressions of people around, it's hard to test if they connect emotion to the faces they see. However, a 2019 study showed that athletes who had been born blind made the same disheartened expressions when losing as athletes with sight, suggesting that facial expressions may not be learnt from watching others.

While genetics play a part, infants are also heavily influenced during their time in the womb (子宫). Mothers who eat strong-tasting foods such as garlic can affect children's taste buds, giving them a fancy for the same tastes later in life. Taste and smell are important triggers that babies look for when first feeding, as the mother's milk will carry the same flavors experienced in the womb. This pre-birth taste sampling increases their chances of survival.

Generational memory could also explain why certain people are naturally gifted in areas like music or sport. Actually, the existence of it is hard to prove, since so many environmental and outside factors change behaviour and personality, especially with young minds, which are easily developed. However, the theory is starting to be taken more seriously, and studies involving short-generation life forms such as nematode worms are making significant breakthroughs. We may soon have undeniable proof that our genetics pass down more than we think.

Four months into my climbing journey, I had an accident while bouldering (攀岩). I'm not sure what exactly happened, but I believe, my foot missed a hold on the way down. I didn't land properly and injured my lower back. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I feared that I would never return to rock climbing or bouldering and said to Nick sadly, "A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn't let that happen."

It took nearly three months before I felt strong enough to give it another try. Nick was supportive throughout the process. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick down. He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely.

Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits.

The physicist John Hopfield used ideas from physics to study a particular type of neural network, now called the Hopfield network (HNN), which explained how neuron systems interact to produce stable memories. During the 1980s, Geoffrey Hinton and his colleagues built on Hopfield's ideas to create a new class of model. Unlike Hopfield networks that could store patterns and correct errors in patterns, the new model could generate new patterns, thereby planting the seeds of the modern generative AI revolution.

Hinton was also part of another breakthrough that happened in the 1980s, which is a key algorithm (算法) that makes it possible to select weights based on the performance of the network on a training data set. However, it remained challenging to train artificial neural networks with many layers. In the 2000s, Hinton and his co-workers cleverly discovered an approach, and the deep learning revolution began.

The Nobel Prize in Physics shows how ideas from physics contributed to the rise of deep learning. Now deep learning has begun to pay back to physics by enabling accurate and fast simulations (模拟) of systems ranging from molecules and materials all the way to the entire Earth's climate. By awarding the Nobel Prize in Physics to Hopfield and Hinton, the prize committee has signaled its hope in humanity's potential to use these advances to promote human well-being and to build a sustainable world.

The four mountain climbers were still breathing heavily as they looked out into the distance. The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back.

As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face.

"What is it, Jason?" Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked.

"Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way," Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere.

"But it's so warm and sunny here. I don't think the storm is coming this way," Sofia said, more in hope than expectation.

However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, "If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff. The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast."

The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly.

To write his own medical text, Li Shizhen referenced over 800 medical texts, countless books on history and geography, and works of literature. He even studied the complete works of many ancient poets, from he selected a surprising number of verses about medicine. However, the greatest issue he encountered was the widespread (disagree) in the use of drug names. Realizing field research is (importance) than extensive reading, in 1565, Li travelled far and wide into the mountains and wilderness. He covered what are today's provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu, and many other places.

After over a decade of field research, Li (successful) completed the first draft of his masterpiece, Bencao Gangmu, or the Compendium of Materia Medica in 1578. He revised work at least three times right up until his death in 1593.

Since its first publication in 1596, the book (receive) world-wide recognition. British naturalist Charles Darwin thought of the book an "ancient Chinese encyclopedia." In 2011, the book (list) on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. In 2017, an international conference was held in Beijing (celebrate) Li's 500th birthday.

Today, there are a (grow) number of international exchanges centering on Li Shizhen and his book, and many people around the world can still find the wisdom of human development in this ancient classic.

Several months ago, I was ready to book the trip. To get3, though, I needed a plan. For me, one of the4 things I wanted to see was the Antarctic5, which survives in the worst environment on Earth. So I6 my trip to Antarctica based on the best time to see baby penguins (企鹅).

Read aloud and out loud. When reading a poem, it is important to remember that it is not just words on a page, but is meant to be heard or read aloud. This experience allows the reader to feel it, which strengthens the appreciation of the piece.

Approaching poetry with an attitude of finding connections between the poem and one's own life can be a valuable tool for appreciating the poem more. Connecting to the emotions, memories and even the same life experiences can help to relate more to the poem and in turn, truly appreciate it.

Pair poetry with other art forms. Pairing poetry with other art forms is another great way to appreciate poetry. Combining poetry with music, painting, sculpture, dance, film and theatre can assist in inviting a wider audience to engage with poetry. Pairing poetry with other art forms allows poetry to be explored in innovative formats.

Develop a sense of critical thinking. Possessing a critical eye when reading a poem allows readers to appreciate the art of poetry in a more meaningful way. In this way, readers can take a journey through the poem and come to their own conclusions. As readers begin to review their own thoughts and ideas in relation to the poem, they begin to appreciate it even more as a result.

A. Find connections.

B. Change the context of the poem.

C. It helps you to understand the emotion that the poet is trying to express.

D. Developing an understanding of the use of literary techniques is also beneficial.

E. Engaging in deep analysis of a poem allows the reader to really become part of it.

F. Therefore, this opens up the means to appreciate a poem in a completely new way.

G. Having a discussion around a poem allows readers to bring out these messages.

A recent study indicates that soon people who love a view — but hate the heat — will be able to have it both ways. The study presents a new window coating that could let in sunlight and keep out the heat.

Window films and heat-blocking coatings are not a new concept. So, what's new about this coating? It's all about the angles. Because windows are placed vertically (垂直地), sunlight hits them at different angles throughout the day. If a given coating only blocks ultraviolet light at a 90-degree angle, it is only useful at the time of day at which the sun hits the glass at that angle. "The angle between the sunshine and the window is always changing. Our coating maintains functionality and efficiency wherever the sun's position is in the sky," said the lead author of the study.

Instead of trying to use trial and error, which could take years, the scientists used AI machine-learning model assisted by quantum (量子的) computing to figure out the way to create an ideal window coating. The coating can remain clear and keep a room cool at any given hour of the day, regardless of the angle at which the sunlight is hitting the window.

There are endless numbers of practical applications for this new window coating, from commercial use to home use, and even for use in the cars. It will certainly lower energy use as people all over the world turn off their air conditioners and electric fans and still enjoy the view.

However, Over the last three decades, the number of cows Molina and his family raise per hectare in the Amazon has nearly doubled, and milk production has increased. The reason is that they have transformed their farm into a completely different environment.

"This is the best hotel for a cow. With controlled temperatures and very good quality food, the cows sleep peacefully." Molina said. The controlled temperatures are provided by trees. In 1993, the Molinas planted trees and plants across their farm, which now offer shade to cool the cows. The seed pods (种荚) and leaves from these trees give the cows protein-rich nutrition.

As Molina walks through the farm, he picks up some black, soft soil, similar to coffee grounds. The trees on the farm support bacteria that "fix" nitrogen, enriching the soil without the need for chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer production contributes to about 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Molina explains that they no longer need to use nitrogen fertilizers, saving money and reducing climate pollution. Additionally, the trees provide shade that cools the area and helps keep moisture in the soil. This has reduced the farm's need for irrigation, helping it to get through recent regional droughts.

By adopting these practices, the Molina family has increased the productivity of cows and dairy farms while minimizing environmental harm, proving that eco-friendly farming can help protect both the land and the climate.

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.
