During the summer vacation, I was cleaning the garage when I discovered a mysterious old wooden box covered in dust. It looked very1, and I couldn't remember ever seeing it before. My2 was immediately awakened. What could be inside?

The box was locked, and no key was in sight. I shook it gently, and something inside made a3 sound. I spent the next hour searching for the key everywhere until I finally found a small, rusted one hidden in an old drawer. With4 hands, I inserted the key. It turned with a click!

I held my breath and opened the lid. To my5, there were no treasures or ancient maps. Instead, the box was filled with a collection of small,6 objects: a faded postcard, a smooth blue stone, a broken watch, and a bundle of letters tied with a ribbon. For a moment, I felt a touch of7.

But then I began to examine them closely. The postcard, sent by my grandfather to my grandmother, carried words of deep8 and love. The stone was from the beach where they first met; the watch, though broken, marked the time of their tenth anniversary. Each object was a chapter, a precious9 from their life together. These simple items witnessed their10, challenges, and everlasting love.

My initial disappointment vanished, replaced by a feeling of great11. I had not found material wealth, but something far more12 — a living history of love and dedication. I was deeply moved by the13 and warmth these ordinary objects held.

I carefully returned everything to the box, now regarding it not as a locked container, but as a sacred family14. That day, I made a decision to start my own collection, not of valuable things, but of moments and memories that truly matter. This experience taught me that the greatest treasures in life are often15 — they are the values, the stories, and the love that we carry forward.

Do you often study with headphones on? Or feel a sudden energy boost when your favorite song comes on? Music is far more than just entertainment; it's a powerful force that shapes our feelings, thoughts, and even actions in many ways.

This is the most common use of music. A fast-paced song can make you feel excited and ready for a workout, while a gentle melody can help you calm down after a long day. When you feel sad, listening to a song that understands your feelings can be a great comfort. It's like having a friend who always knows what to say.

Music Serves as a Focus Tool.

For many students, music is a necessary study partner. This type of music, often without lyrics, creates a steady background atmosphere. It helps block out distracting noises like conversations or traffic, allowing you to concentrate better on your homework.

Music Builds Social Connection.

Music brings people together. Think about school concerts or parties. Sharing a taste in music can be the start of a friendship. It acts as a universal language that helps us connect with others and feel part of a group.

Music Brings Back Memories.

Have you ever heard a song from your childhood and suddenly been flooded with clear memories? Music has a strong connection to memory. Setting facts or vocabulary to a simple tune can make them much easier to remember. Try singing your next history timeline to a melody!

Music Boosts Motivation.

Finally, music is a fantastic motivator. Need to clean your room or finish a long run? Some upbeat music can be the answer. So next time you face a boring task, turn on some energetic music. You might be surprised at how much faster it gets done.

A. Music regulates our emotions.

B. Music shapes our identity and culture.

C. This is why it can be a valuable learning aid.

D. It provides a rhythm that makes work lighter.

E. It improves your mood and reduces the feeling of fatigue.

F. In these settings, shared musical experiences create a sense of unity.

G. Specifically, classical or light music is often chosen for this purpose.

While heatwaves have long been associated with short-term increases in premature deaths, this study breaks new ground by examining their long-term health consequences. The research team from the University of Hong Kong analyzed data from 25,000 Chinese adults, using comprehensive medical tests including blood pressure, inflammation markers, cholesterol levels, and organ function assessments to determine biological age. By comparing this with chronological age, researchers established a clear link between heatwave exposure and accelerated aging.

The findings demonstrate that the cumulative number of heatwave days has the most substantial impact on biological aging. Although the observed effect over the two-year study period appears moderate, scientists warn that the lifelong cumulative impact could be profound. Dr. Cui Guo, the lead researcher, emphasized that "if heatwave exposure accumulates over decades, the health impact will be much more severe than our current findings suggest." She further cautioned that as climate change makes heatwaves more frequent and prolonged, future health consequences are likely to intensify.

Professor Paul Beggs of Macquarie University, while not involved in the study, characterized these findings as transformative. "Many have assumed they survived heatwaves unharmed," he noted. "This research reveals that heat exposure actually influences our aging rate."

The study accounted for multiple individual factors including weight, smoking history, and pre-existing medical conditions. However, researchers acknowledged the lack of data on certain behavioral aspects such as outdoor exposure duration and personal air conditioning use, highlighting the need for further investigation. Additionally, since study participants were generally healthier than the broader population, the aging effects on more vulnerable groups may be even more pronounced.

This marks another breakthrough following Jiaolong's first manned dive under Arctic ice. "Previously, Jiaolong operated at a single underwater point. This time, we expanded its capacity by enabling cooperation with an ROV," said Fu Wentao, chief pilot of Jiaolong.

The first joint dive took place on August 14, testing underwater positioning and communication between the two devices. A second dive on August 15 involved close cooperation: the ROV filmed Jiaolong collecting seabed samples, while Jiaolong passed items like rocks to the ROV. They also recorded each other in the deep sea.

According to Li Dewei of the National Deep Sea Center, such cooperation creates a combined advantage that overcomes the limits of manned submersibles in large-scale sampling. He noted that combining human decision-making with machine precision is an inevitable trend in deep-sea exploration.

In another innovation, scientists used AI-based image recognition along with environmental DNA detection to identify deep-sea organisms. More than 10,000 deep-sea biological images supported the AI identification, while DNA data verified its accuracy.

The expedition, China's largest in the Arctic Ocean, ended in late September. It involved four research vessels and revealed clear differences in seabed organism density, diversity, and size across Arctic regions. These findings will help assess how climate change affects deep-sea ecosystems.

Born in Hefei in 1922, Yang's academic journey was distinguished from the start. He obtained his master's from Tsinghua University before crucially advancing his studies in the United States, earning his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948. His brilliant career included essential roles at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and culminated at Stony Brook University, where he served as Einstein Professor and founded its Institute for Theoretical Physics, remaining there until 1999.

Yang's contributions to physics were extraordinary and vital. In 1957, he and Tsung-Dao Lee proposed the revolutionary concept of parity nonconservation, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize, becoming the first Chinese-born scientists to receive this honor. Furthermore, the Yang-Mills gauge theory, which he introduced with Robert Mills, is acknowledged as a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics, as important as the work of Einstein and Maxwell. His work has had a profound and lasting influence on modern science.

Deeply devoted to his homeland, Yang played a key role in bridging Chinese and global science. His 1971 visit to China was a pioneering act that helped restart academic exchanges with the United States. He was deeply committed to supporting Chinese scholars, helping many pursue studies abroad.

In 1999, Yang made the significant decision to return to China and joined Tsinghua University. For over two decades, he dedicated himself to nurturing scientific talent, promoting international academic exchange, and strengthening China's basic sciences. His lifelong passion for his country and for education has left an enduring impact on China's scientific institutions and research landscape.

Truth Revealed: Dishwashers Save More Water

Many people mistakenly assume dishwashers consume excessive water. In reality, ENERGY STAR certified dishwashers use less than 4 gallons per cycle. In comparison, hand washing with a continuously running tap can waste about 4 gallons of water every two minutes. Experts from the Natural Resources Defense Council also confirm that modern dishwashers require only 3 to 5 gallons to clean a full load, making them far more efficient than hand washing.

Energy Efficiency: Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly

Beyond water conservation, dishwashers outperform hand washing in energy usage. By heating water in a concentrated manner, they utilize energy more efficiently than continuously heating running water during hand washing. Studies show that switching from hand washing to machine washing just four times a week can save up to $130 annually in electricity costs, demonstrating significant energy conservation.

Usage Tips: Maximizing Performance

To get the most out of your dishwasher, keep these points in mind:   

- Always run full loads to avoid waste   

- Scrape off large food residues instead of pre-rinsing   

- Consider upgrading to an ENERGY STAR certified model if your current unit is outdated

The data below clearly illustrates the differences between the two methods:

It was in the 1930s, and things were tough. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago.

Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have "French toast" ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn't pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.

Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn't have any food hidden away. When he didn't find any, he issued the cheque to Mum.

Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.

Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren't patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.

Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.

You have heard about tea's health benefits, but not all the news（be） good. The latest study, led by Farhad Islami, from the American Cancer Society, has found that（drink）too hot tea may double your risk of esophagus（食道）cancer.

While previous studies have found a link hot drinks and this type of cancer, this is the first study to（accurate）figure out the temperature at which a hot liquid becomes risky. Dr. Islami and his colleagues find that the constant damage of stomach（cause）by swallowing the hot liquids may speed up the growth of cancer. While the（result）are unsettling, it may help you to know that out of the more than 49,000 tea drinkers in study, only 317 developed esophagus cancer. In other words, the overall risk is still small.

The study has also showed that although black and green teas have antioxidants（抗氧化剂） can help reduce cancer risk, there are other unknown compounds（化合物）in the teas that may have a harmful effect on your body when they（make）too hot. Before drinking hot teas, is wise to wait until they cool down.

In 2006, Doyne took a trip in Nepal, Asia. Having grown up in New Jersey, Doyne was2 to see so many orphaned children living on the streets. One day, she saw a little girl named Hema carrying3 to and from the village. She earned two dollars a day to support herself. She later found out that there were 80 million children across the globe living like Hema. She thought to herself, "4 the 80 million. What if I start with Hema?" It was then that she decided to take Hema under her wing and pay for her education.

But helping Hema was not enough for Doyne. Doyne used her5   to buy an acre of land. Then, she built the kids a home, the Kopila Valley Children's Home.

Now, the Do Something Foundation is doing something for Doyne. The organization provides resources and support for teens that want to make a(n)6 in the world. On Thursday night, the foundation7 Doyne the $100,000 prize winner of the 2009 Do Something Award.

The Kopila Valley Children's Home8 opened its doors in 2008. Doyne, now 22 years old, has helped more than 700 other orphans find families. She also9 a program that provides scholarships for10families to send their children to school. The children learn basic skills such as sewing and cooking. They also grow their own food in their garden and raise farm animals.

Doyne11 that she didn't have it all12 when she first arrived in Nepal. "I just felt that there was something there for me," she said. Her parents were13 of her.14 it was a challenge to persuade other adults that an 18-year-old girl could complete such a big project, Doyne never gave up on fund raising. In just over a year, she had enough money to build her dream home.

Doyne's story is a good15 that although we cannot solve all the world's problems on our own, we can take the first step of solving one problem.

With winter approaching, people begin to complain about cold weather. There' s plenty to love about cold weather. And there' s plenty of evidence that cooler temperatures can be part of a healthy life.

First, cooler temperatures can help you lose weight. It can also help you sleep better. You might feel uncomfortable at first if you cool your bedroom down. But if you, for example, switch your bedroom temperature from 72 down to 62 degrees gradually over a few weeks, your body will adjust.

I have long kept my winter house temperature at 62 degrees. How did I find that number? Well, I experimented on myself about eight years ago. I started at 66 and turned it down one degree every few days until 60. I found when the temperature was colder than 62, I couldn't focus. But 62 was perfect. Another benefit for me was that it also kept me clear-headed while working at home.

Interestingly, science also says 62 degrees is the magic number for brainwork. It said 62 degrees was the temperature at which the schoolboy subjects of the study functioned perfect. And while we' re speaking of work and school, other research shows that people study better when the weather outside is "bad".

But according to a Harvard Health Letter from 2010, proper cold temperatures could be good for skin because it trains blood vessels in the skin to be responsive. So, rosy cheeks ! There' s no reason to be afraid of winter weather. Hug it and you, too, can enjoy the season.

A. I recently read a 1972 study.

B. And you'll save money on energy costs as well.

C. Many people like to use cold water to wash their face.

D. At that time, I worked at home and liked warm temperature.

E. Most of us think cold weather leads to dry skin and wrinkling.

F. The reason was that I hated spending money on heating bills.

G. But if you' re active and healthy, it doesn't have to be a negative thing.

This strange case got the attention of David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University. He asked his graduate student Justin Kruger to help figure out what was going on. They found that almost everyone thinks their abilities (like social skills or thinking skills) are good, but some people mistakenly believe their abilities are much better than they really are. This wrong sense of confidence is now called the "Dunning-Kruger effect."

To study this, Dunning and Kruger did experiments with college students. In one test, they asked students questions about grammar, logic and jokes. Then they had the students guess their scores and how they did compared to others. The students who scored the lowest overestimated their abilities the most. For example, those at the bottom thought they did better than two-thirds of the other students!

It's common for people to overestimate their abilities. But the problem with unskilled people is that they not only make bad choices — they also can't tell they're making mistakes. In a year-long study, good students could better guess their future exam scores if they got feedback (反馈) on their grades. But poor students still didn't realize they were doing badly, even when they got clear, repeated feedback. Instead of thinking about their mistakes, they insisted they were right. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man (1871): "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."

Interestingly, very smart people also can't assess their abilities accurately. Just as D and F students overestimate their skills, A students underestimate theirs. The difference is: if given helpful feedback, skilled people can adjust their self-assessment — but unskilled people can't.

One in three UK consumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date, but 60% (4.2 million tons) of the £12.5 billion-worth of food we throw away each year is safe to eat.

The researchers, whose findings were published in ACS Sensors, say the sensors could also finally replace the use-by date, which is now widely used to tell if food is fresh and eatable.

The sensors cost two US cents each to make. Known as "paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS)", they sense spoilage gases like ammonia (a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell) in meat and fish products. The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone, and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.

Lead author Dr. Firat Guder, of Imperial's Department of Bioengineering, said, "Although they're designed to keep us safe, use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away. They don't always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage, even when an item is within its use-by date.

"These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years. Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste."

The authors hope that PEGS could have applications (应用) beyond food processing, like sensing chemicals in agriculture, air quality, and detecting disease markers in breath.

On meeting Oh Go Seng, the first thing that strikes you is the bright light in his eyes. He wears his 79 years very lightly, looking in far better shape than many people half his age.

Mr. Oh grew up together with his family in Sungei Tengah, a local kampong or village. In the 1980s, however, these kampongs were knocked down, to make way for new high-rise buildings. Most kampong residents were offered new homes by the government, but Mr. Oh was unable to get a place of his own. His brother, however, did get a government flat and Mr. Oh was invited to live there, but he eventually moved out as he said he did not want to bother the family. So, he headed back to a forest close to where his old home once stood and started to spend nights in a shelter.

Upon getting close to the shelter, you see ashes in the doorway from the open fire that Mr. Oh would cook on. The garden near his tent is where he would grow his own food. The towering jackfruit tree over his tent, he says, provided enough shade, and he never felt uncomfortable.

Loneliness was never a problem either, he says. He kept himself busy taking care of his garden, although that, he adds, was made easy by the good growing conditions. The worst aspect of living in the forest, he says, was the mice. They would find their way into his shelter and bite holes in his clothes.

In February this year — on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Oh was given a new home to live in. He now works as a driver, transporting foreign workers from one job to another, and sometimes does gardening work, he says.

An orange firework burst overhead. "Where do the sparkles go after they fall out of the sky?" Annika asked her family. "Do you know?"

Her little brother, Ben, gurgled and waved his tiny fist. "Great question," her mom said as she offered Annika a slice of watermelon. Her dad said, "Hmm," and adjusted his camera's lens.

Annika flopped down on the blanket her mom had spread on the grass. A white-and-gold firework blossomed high above the trees, and they heard a pop-pop-bang! echo down by the lake. Annika tipped her head all the way back. She watched the sparkles drip like glittering spray from a fountain before they disappeared into the dark. Kids were running between blankets all over the hilltop, kicking soccer balls, waving streamers.

This was her favorite day of the whole summer.

Do the sparkles turn into stars? Annika wondered. Do they land in the treetops? Do they puddle up at the bottom of the lake in a mound of glitter?

Two red fireworks shot across the sky like comets and burst into bright white lights that blinked on and off. Ben screamed happily and threw one of his shoes across the blanket. Her mom laughed and put it back on his foot. Her dad said, "Wow, look at that one!" and took a photo.

"Can I go look for sparkles?" asked Annika.

"When the show is over, honey," her mom said.

Annika wiggled her fingers like fireworks at Ben and said, "Ka-boom!"

After the show was done, all the families clapped. They talked about what a great fireworks show it was and wished each other a happy Fourth of July. Annika sighed. Her favorite day of the whole summer was almost over. Everyone started packing up to go.

Annika gathered the watermelon rinds and helped her mom fold the blanket. Annika's dad put away his camera and picked up Ben. Then Annika tugged her mother's sleeve. "May I go look for sparkles, please? Just for two minutes?"

"OK," Annika's mom said. "But stay where we can see you."

Annika ran to the edge of the field and looked around.

China has been actively developing (it) circular economy (循环经济) across all industries, turning waste into useful products, aiming to build a circular industrial system with its recycling industry (reach) a 5-trillion-yuan output value by year-end.

Chinese companies are using advanced technology to upgrade the industry. At a circular economy industrial park in Suzhou, Jiangsu, high-tech (facility) can handle around 500 tons of kitchen waste every day. "About 90 percent of kitchen waste can (recycle) into nutrient-rich soil for landscaping or composting (堆肥), or turned into biomass natural gas the city's gas grid (供气网)," said Huang Yuanchen, general manager of a local environmental company.

The secondhand market was once popular in the US and Europe is now also growing in China as green choice, covering home appliances, books, digital products, camping gear, and fitness equipment. Big discounts make them (afford) for more people to enjoy their hobbies.

"The secondhand economy boosts products circulation, unlocking new consumer needs helping the domestic economy," said Li Yongjian, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. " (promote) the circular economy, we must not only strengthen the industry but also raise public awareness and spread the idea of sustainable development." (Xinhua)

He and his wife had come up into my hometown for a2, but his wife had a medical emergency and was taken to the nearby hospital. Unwilling to3 the trip or make another long drive home, he decided to spend a few nights at the hotel to get closer to knowing his wife's situation. As I'm talking to him, he told me he was a veteran from Vietnam and he started to4 his time in the service, talking about his wartime friends and the5 they'd made during that hard time.

I was6 by this and kept talking to him about his experiences. As we talked, I stepped into the backroom to place an order for a pizza. When the food was7, the man started to excuse himself, claiming he didn't want to8 my meal. When I told him it was for him, he cried — for the first time someone had9 a hand of generosity to him.

Staying connected with close friends can be challenging when they live far away. You might feel helpless when a distant friend is going through a tough time. However, with some efforts, you can still provide meaningful support and strengthen your friendship.

"Physical distance can make us feel disconnected," Dr. Sophie Mort, a clinical psychologist says, "but being emotionally present is key." Here are four practical ways to show you care.

This simple act can bridge the physical gap between you. A care package is a powerful way to show you're thinking of them. It could include their favorite snacks, a heartfelt letter, or something that reminds you of a shared memory. "This gesture is especially meaningful during difficult times, offering comfort and a sense of connection," Dr. Mort adds.

Schedule regular video calls.

While not the same as meeting in person, regular video calls can create a sense of routine and provide quality time together. The key is to be fully present during the call. Avoid distractions and focus on the conversation. This intentional effort will make your friend feel valued.

Share an activity online.

To make your virtual meetings more engaging, try developing a shared hobby. You could do yoga together, cook the same recipe while on the call, or start a two-person book club. "These shared experiences create new topics for conversations and a stronger sense of doing things together," Dr. Mort suggests.

Work on a project together.

Whether you are working towards a fitness goal or planning an adventure, it gives you a shared purpose. It could be a fitness challenge where you track each other's progress, learning a new skill like painting, or even planning a future trip. Collaborating on something fun helps maintain a strong connection despite the distance.

Although miles apart, your friendship can continue to grow. With creativity and commitment, you can show that true friendship knows no boundaries.

A. Create a shared memory.

B. Send a Personal Care Package.

C. Therefore, it is crucial to find a time when you are both free and can give each other your full attention.

D. The physical distance may seem like a huge problem.

E. Starting a shared project gives you a common goal to be excited about.

F. This could be almost anything you both enjoy.

G. It's not about the form of communication, but the frequency.
