Flying to see my mom, I was seated next to a2 man with a warm smile. He asked whether I was going home. I said yes and3 that I would be with my mom for the New Year, the first time without Dad. His smile didn't4 but became soft. He nodded not with5 but with recognition, "I lost my dad a few years ago."

At that moment, my fellow seatmate and I were6 by shared experiences. He was all ears as I told him how my dad had been humorous and willing to7, reminding us not everyone sees the world the same way. With such personality, a love of travel came8 to my father.

Belvaev's idea began with observing pedestrians caught in rainstorms. While driving through Saint Petersburg, he noticed streetlamps illuminating crowds sheltering from sudden downpours. This inspired hisconcept: integrating waterproof canopies (伞篷) into existing lampposts. "If streetlights already mark walking paths," he reasoned, "why not equip them to automatically protect people from rain?" The design uses basic sensors to detect rainfall, triggering the umbrella mechanism without complex technology. This practical adaptation transforms urban infrastructure into weather-responsive shelters.

The Lampbrella looks like a normal streetlamp but has a foldable umbrella. A motor inside opens or closes it when needed. Rain sensors trigger the system during showers, giving instant shelter. The umbrella folds back when rain stops, keeping the design simple but practical for weather protection.

The Lampbrella combines rain sensors with a 360°motion detector. This full-circle sensor scans for people standing beneath it. If no movement is detected for three minutes, the umbrella automatically folds up. The dual detection system prevents wasted energy by keeping the canopy closed during dry periods, while ensuring instant shelter activates only when both rain and users are present.

According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belvaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

When he was young, Kadur was attracted by Corbett's tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life's goal: to take photos of nature's wonders and share them.

At 12, Kadur borrowed his father's camera — a "magic box" that froze time. His father, a scientist who studies insects, got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally taking photos of small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Afterwards, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling.

In Brownsville, Kadur explored the cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they started a documentary project together, Bax withdrew (退出) from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, carried on the project on his own. He later spent three years in India's Western Ghats, filming species like the "smoke cat" for the first time. His first film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats' biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status.

Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audience chances to know about a rarely-seen natural world, calling on them to protect its weak wildlife. "Visual art has told stories for thousands of years. Now we're doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance." said Kadur, "I think the influence of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations."

The Palace Museum is becoming waste-free as the 720,000-square-meter structure has managed (reduce) the number of rubbish bins to 110 sets in areas open to the public. This is a decrease from 310 sets (record) in January 2020, when a zero-waste campaign (launch), said the museum.

While protecting features of the six-century-old historical relic, the action also helps visitors and tourists get into habit of creating less waste. Up to now, four types of rubbish bins have been equipped following Beijing's regulations on the management of household waste. Cleaning staff also check them to make sure all rubbish is (correct) sorted, which is later transported to different destinations for disposal (处理). The museum also recycled more than 32,000 plastic (bottle) to make cultural and creative products between June 2021 and October 2023, (mean) a reduction in carbon emission by 931 kilograms.

By launching the campaign, the Palace Museum is taking a careful, science-based way to waste management. The target is to minimize the production of waste needs to be buried or burned and bring the amount of such waste as close zero as possible.

So far, about 3,000 museum staff members, 40,000 tourist guides, and 21 million visitors (participate) in the campaign.

My grandfather, however, saw it differently. He often told me, "This tower is not just stone and metal. It is our3." When he learned that the town planned to tear it down for a parking lot, he refused to stay4. At 78, with weak legs but a strong will, he began visiting every household,5 people to save the tower. Many thought he was wasting his time. "It's too old to fix," they said. "Let it go."

But Grandpa didn't6. He organized a small group of volunteers, including me. We cleaned the fallen leaves, repaired the wooden stairs, and slowly,7 by piece, brought life back to the tower. A local history teacher joined us, sharing stories of the tower's role during wartime. A retired painter offered to8 the faded murals (壁画) on the walls. Word spread, and soon, more and more villagers came to help. Some donated money, some brought tools, and others simply9 us coffee on cold mornings.

After six months of hard work, the clock began ticking again. On the day of the opening, the whole town gathered. The mayor10 a speech, thanking Grandpa for his determination. But Grandpa just smiled and said, "A town without its memory is like a tree without11. We don't protect the past because it's useful. We protect it because it's12."

That experience taught me a valuable lesson. Cultural heritage is not just about old objects; it is the13 that connects us to those who came before. When we lose it, we lose a part of14. Protecting it requires not only money or technology, but more importantly,15 and love. And sometimes, one determined old man can make all the difference.

Living a healthy lifestyle doesn't require extreme diets or expensive gym memberships. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference. Here are some easy habits you can start today.

Start your day with water. After 7-8 hours of sleep, your body needs hydration. Drinking a glass of water right after waking up helps kick-start your metabolism and flush out toxins..

Move your body in short bursts. You don't need to exercise for an hour at a stretch. Studies show that three 10-minute walks throughout the day can be just as beneficial as a 30-minute workout.. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator also counts.

Eat the rainbow. Different colored fruits and vegetables provide different nutrients. For example, carrots are rich in vitamin A, while blueberries are full of antioxidants. A simple rule: fill half your plate with vegetables at lunch and dinner.

Prioritize sleep hygiene. Many people sacrifice sleep to study or work, but this backfires. Lack of sleep weakens your immune system and affects memory.. That means no screens for at least 30 minutes before bed, keeping your room dark and cool, and going to bed at the same time each night.

Practice mindful eating. In our busy lives, we often eat while watching videos or rushing between classes. This can lead to overeating.. Chew slowly, put your fork down between bites, and stop when you feel 80% full. This simple habit can help you enjoy food more and avoid weight gain.

Remember, perfection is not the goal. Even small steps forward are better than doing nothing. Start with one or two habits and build from there.

A. Try to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.

B. Instead, focus on whole, unprocessed foods.

C. Instead, try to eat without distractions.

D. You can replace sugary drinks with plain water.

E. A good goal is to eat at least five different colors every day.

F. Park your car farther away or get off the bus one stop early.

G. You can add lemon or cucumber for extra flavor.

Traditional solutions, such as mechanical recycling and incineration, have significant limitations. Recycling degrades plastic quality, and burning releases toxic gases. Scientists have therefore been searching for more efficient and eco-friendly alternatives. A promising breakthrough comes from an unexpected source: nature itself.

In 2016, researchers in Japan discovered a bacterium called Ideonella sakaiensis that could "eat" PET, a common type of plastic used in bottles and clothing. This bacterium produces two enzymes that break PET down into its basic chemical building blocks, which can then be used to create new, high-quality plastic. The entire process takes only a few days instead of centuries. Since then, scientists have engineered even more powerful versions of these enzymes, increasing their breakdown speed by 20%.

However, applying this technology on a large scale remains challenging. The enzymes work best at a specific temperature (around 30℃) and pH level. Furthermore, producing enough enzymes for industrial use is still expensive. Nevertheless, several start-ups are already testing pilot plants. Some researchers predict that within a decade, enzyme-based recycling could handle 50% of PET waste worldwide.

While this solution is not a magic cure for all plastic pollution, it offers real hope. As Dr. Sarah Chen, an environmental biotechnologist, puts it: "We cannot clean up the past without changing the present. But for the first time, we have a tool that turns waste back into a resource."

Traditionally, doctors examine X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs by eye, which can be time-consuming and sometimes leads to human error. AI systems, however, can be trained on thousands of medical images to recognize patterns that might be invisible to the human eye. For example, a study published in 2023 showed that an AI model detected breast cancer in mammograms with 94.5% accuracy, compared to 88.2% for human radiologists. Moreover, the AI completed its analysis in just 30 seconds, while a doctor might take several minutes.

But AI is not meant to replace doctors. Instead, it serves as a powerful assistant. Dr. Liu Wei, a radiologist at Beijing United Hospital, explains: "AI helps us double-check our findings. It catches things we might miss, especially when we are tired after a long day. This gives us more confidence in our diagnoses." In fact, many hospitals are now using AI as a second reader, reducing misdiagnosis rates by nearly 20%.

However, AI in medicine still faces challenges. One major issue is data privacy — patients' medical images contain sensitive information. Another is the "black box" problem: sometimes even the engineers who build AI systems cannot explain exactly how the AI reaches a decision. This makes some doctors hesitant to fully trust it. Despite these difficulties, researchers are working on more transparent and secure AI models. As technology improves, AI is likely to become a standard tool in hospitals worldwide, not to replace human care, but to strengthen it.

But his mother, though weak, refused to let him give up. "Your father wanted you to finish school," she whispered from her hospital bed. Those words stayed with Alex. He decided to fight. Every morning, he woke up at 5:00 a.m. to prepare breakfast, then walked his sister to the neighbor's house before running to school. After school, he worked three hours at a local grocery store. Evenings were for homework, often done by candlelight when electricity was cut off.

The hardest part was not the tiredness, but the loneliness. His classmates were hanging out or playing sports, while Alex was rushing between work and home. Sometimes he felt like giving up. One night, he found an old notebook of his father's, filled with drawings of birds. On the last page, his father had written: "A bird learns to fly not because it is brave, but because it has no choice." Alex realized that he, too, had no choice but to keep going.

Slowly, things improved. His mother recovered enough to walk again. A teacher learned about his situation and helped him apply for a scholarship. Alex's grades, which had fallen to the bottom of his class, began to rise. By the end of the year, he was among the top ten students. Four years later, he became the first in his family to attend university, studying medicine to help others like his mother.

Now a doctor, Alex often tells his patients: "Difficulties are not walls. They are just heavy doors. They will open if you keep pushing."

For thousands of years, people have looked to the starry sky and wondered what, or who, is out there. In the early 1600s, Galileo was the first (use) his telescope to explore the sky and since then, telescopes (improve) continually.

One major breakthrough came in 1990, when the Hubble Space Telescope (launch). That Hubble is based in space allows it to see further than ground-based telescopes, and it allows scientists to learn more about the universe. Hubble (observe) have played a crucial role in the discovery of the (mystery) dark energy. Hubble was followed by the Kepler Space Telescope in 2009. Kepler' scientific goal is to search for Earth-size planets (orbit) other stars. life on other planets does exist is yet to be proved, but the signs are promising: Kepler has detected many suitable planets that are almost the same size as the Earth.

In recent years, China has developed advanced telescopes as well. One example is the innovative FAST, is the largest single⁃dish radio telescope in the world. With a dish the size of 30 football fields, FAST is able to carry monitoring with extraordinary sensitivity. One of its scientific goals is to detect communication signals between the stars in the universe.

It is clear that telescopes are crucial tools for space exploration and that developing the required technology will help astronomers all over the world make exciting discovery. How much we will learn from the telescopes is merely limited by (we) imagination.

This is wrong, as was the rapper's motto. I don't believe that eradicating bad feelings is the path to a good life. We have an opportunity here to judge the benefits of negative emotions and experiences instead of trying to push them away.

Negative emotions exist to keep us safe. The main negative emotions include sadness, anger, fear and disgust (厌恶). We experienced them in an unconscious way in response to environmental stimuli (刺激). You never say to yourself, Hey, I think I'll feel afraid now—you just feel it and react with fight or flight, which can save your life. Disgust similarly warns us unconsciously of potential illness.

Negative emotions can also make us more effective in our day-to-day activities. In an article in the journal Psychological Review, two evolutionary psychologists argue that sadness—and even depression—have existed in the face of evolution (进化) because they bring cognitive benefits. Sadness can make us more productive at work by improving focus and helping us learn from mistakes. This is how failure, by means of the resulting negative emotions, can help lead to later success.

Finally, negative emotions make us stronger for when there is a true emergency. Research shows that "stress vaccination training" — in which people learn to cope with anger, fear and anxiety by being brought up to stimuli that cause these feelings — is effective in creating emotional toughness.

In sum, if we want a life full of deep meaning, true love, and emotional strength, it's going to involve the risk of discomfort, fight and loss. This means there will be sadness, fear, anger and disgust. If we remove negative emotions and experiences from our lives, we will be poorer and weaker for having done so.

"Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world," says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.

Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth's workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members' research projects. "It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem," Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. "We do a disservice (伤害) to ourselves to think that scientists can't be artistic and that art can't be used to communicate scientific ideas," Mazon says.

That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks current science communication initiatives rely too often on public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. "Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts," he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says.

Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The gap between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We're all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share.

Alvin's heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scene. He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he decided to make Luna's wish come true too. So he posted the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.

Meanwhile, Leticia, the mother of four-year-old Luna, had no idea that such an effort was underway. It had been a hard year for them. On a particularly tough day last December, Leticia told Luna to send her wishes to Santa by balloon. The girl was excited. Leticia helped her write down her wishes, put the note into a Christmas red balloon and took her out to release her wishes on the chilly windy morning.

One day in January, a friend called Leticia, "Someone found Luna's balloon." Her jaw dropped. Then she logged on to Facebook and saw Alvin's post and more netizens trying to help. Leticia was deeply touched and called Alvin. When Alvin told her how much it would mean to him to fulfill the girl' wishes, she agreed to let him meet Luna. Back in Louisiana, Alvin got busy collecting toys from his newfound Facebook community.

On a morning in April, just as chilly and windy as the day when Luna waved goodbye to her balloon, Alvin made a trip to their house. He presented all the gifts, including a puppy. Luna cried with delight. Later, they sat down together to share homemade breakfast. They all felt as if they had known each other forever. Having received so much generosity, Leticia and Luna expressed their gratitude and intended to pay it forward.

One late afternoon, Tina was driving on a highway when a severe (严重的)snowstorm hit without warning before. In a short time, the heavy snow, coupled with the strong wind, turned everything into white and made the road extremely dangerous.

Tina later found out that this kind of storm is called a "Saskatchewan screamer", which comes on extremely fast with high winds. It's really frightening and deadly to be caught in such extreme weather.

Unable to see the road clearly, Tina had to stop her car and call 911. The operator (接线员)told her that phone calls for help kept flooding in and all the rescuers (救援人员)had been called out. She suggested that Tina should wait out the storm in her car rather than risk driving on or going out. She took Tina's information and told her that an officer would call her back. Tina waited anxiously for almost two hours, but nobody called her yet to check in. "The storm showed no sign of stopping. What was worse, it was getting dark. I couldn't see anything outside the car since the snow had covered all the windows. The wind was still howling and the temperature was getting lower and lower in the car. I had no idea whom I could turn to for help," Tina later wrote in a Facebook post. "Alone and cold，I began to panic, worrying about getting hit by an oncoming car, getting buried in a snowbank, having my tailpipe (排气管) blocked by the snow...I was really worried I couldn't ever make it home to my family."

That was when Tina realized that it was no use waiting passively for help. She decided to do something herself. So she took out her cellphone, logged on to the Google Map and determined her location. She found online a neighborhood Facebook group for the area that she was passing through and shared a comment about her trouble with her location marked on the map. Then all she could do next was sitting in the car, praying someone could make a response to her as early as possible.

Fortunately, Tina's request reached 80-year-old retired rescuer Frank.

I wanted to do something special for my 15-year-old son, has always been a perfect boy. He worked all the summer to earn enough money to buy (he) a new bicycle instead of asking for money from me. Then he spent hours and hours on it. I loved my son so much I bought him a pair of sunglasses and gloves. When my son rode the bicycle with them, he looked very cool. He dreamed taking part in a race and winning.

On November 10th, my birthday, when I went to the kitchen to start the milk and bread in the morning, I found beautiful guitar on the table, beside which was a card, (say) "Happy birthday to my wonderful mother. "I was surprised and then began to sob. I remembered once I (joke) to my family that I wanted to learn playing the guitar to make my life colorful. I had forgotten it, but my son remembered. He took it (serious), and bought me one as a birthday gift. When I wondered my son could buy this expensive gift, soon I realized that my son had sold his bicycle (get) me the guitar.

When he was 16, Molai began to notice something3 happening around his home. A flood had hit the area earlier that year and the4 it caused had driven away a number of birds.5, the number of snakes had declined (减少) as well. He6 that it was because there weren't enough trees to protect them from the7. The solution, of course, was to plant trees so the animals could look for8 during the daytime. He turned to the9 department (部门) for help but was told that nothing would grow there. However, Molai went looking on his own and10a nearby island where he began to plant trees.

11 young plants in the dry season was12for a lone boy. Molai built at the13 of each sapling (幼树) a bamboo platform, where he placed earthen pots with small holes to14 rainwater. The water would then drip (滴落) on the plants below.

Molai15 to plant trees for the next 37 years. His efforts have resulted in 1,360 acres of naturally-grown land that has become home to many plants and animals.
