Choosing a major in college is an important decision. It's one of the first big independent decisions of your academic and professional life. Here is some practical advice.

To begin with, don't choose a major merely based on money, otherwise mistakes will happen. Can you see yourself investing the next 40 years in this career without gelling bored? Actually choosing a major with high-paying career won't guarantee you a high-paying job. It depends on position openings and your competitors when you graduate.

You want to pick something that interests you, but you need to be sure you won't get sick of it as time progresses. A hobby is a pursuit outside one's regular occupation for relaxation while passion comforts you and drives you crazy at the same time. It isn't relaxing. It inserts itself into your life. When you choose to study your hobby and build your life around it, it can lose its appeal and won't be relaxing.

Additionally, never choose a major by feeling instead of research. Being interested in a major isn't enough. Researching the field will ensure you to choose a right major. If you know someone in the field, ask them for some information. Besides, consider the entire journey you'll pursue-the coursework, the major demands, the school time you'll need, and the available job prospects. 

Lastly, don't always depend on your parents. The opinions of your family aren't something to ignore.  If anyone wants to help you in choosing a major and you completely agree with their opinions, then go with it. But if you want your future to go in any other direction, speak up. The only way to get the best outcome is to shape your own future.

A. However, the choice is ultimately yours.

B. Next, a hobby is never meant to be your priority.

C.  Besides, keep a balance between hobbies and relaxation.

D.  Typically, people will confuse their hobbies with their passions.

E.  You should also consider your passions, dislikes, and happiness.

F. Remember collcgc is an investment of both your lime and money.

G. If you're passionate about a major after research, follow your heart.

Scientists have discovered a new way of administering oxygen to the blood which could allow people to stay alive without breathing. The proccdure, which works by injecting oxygen molecules (分子) enclosed in fauly molecules directly into the bloodstream, could extend an extra 30 minutes of life when they cannot breathe.

John Kheir, a doctor of the Boston Children's Hospital, was inspired to begin his groundbreaking research after he experienced a patient's tragic death, according to Science Daily. He was operating on a young girl whose pneumonia led to deadly brain damage after doctors were unable to place her on a breathing machine in lime to save her.

In response, Dr Kheir started working on the idea of inserting oxygen directly into the blood. Early experiments showed that the intervention could in theory be very successful, he said, "We drew each other's blood, mixed it in a test tube with the microparticles, and watched blue blood turn immediately red, right before our eyes. IIowever, injecting pure oxygen into the bloodstream in gas form failed miscrably when it was allcmpled 100 years ago, as it formed dangerous bubbles in he veins (静脉) .

Much of Dr Kheir's research therefore involved finding a substance which could surround the oxygen and allow it to be suspended in a liquid for injection into the body. He found that using fatty molecules was the best way to keep oxygen after using sound waves to trap the two substances together into small particles that can only be seen with the help of a microscope. The particles were then made up into a liquid which is very heavily oxygenated—carrying "three to four limes the oxygen content of our own red blood cells", according to Dr Kheir.

When used on humans, the oxygen could probably last for up to 30 minutes, though injecting it for any longer could damage the patient's blood. "This is a short-term oxygen substitute—a way to safely inject oxygen gas to support patients during a critical few minutes," Dr Kheir said. He added that he thought the technique could become routine for doctors dealing with emergency situations.

For a long time, geologists have been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth's history-a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting (漂) , leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain.

But where did Argoland actually go? 

The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments (碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn't really disappeared but survived as a "very extended and fragmented collection" under the islands to the east of Indonesia.

Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent's geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.

Tracking the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island's wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find marsupials and cockatoos—animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations.

The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.

A few years ago, we celebrated frankenstein's 200th birthday. This famous book, written by Brilish novelist Mary Shellcy (1797-1851), is rightly known as the first work of science fiction. Frankenstein is the name of a doctor who creates a creature from human body parts. The doctor's ambitions for his work are noble, but his experiment has disastrous results.

Shelley was writing in an age when science was beginning to have a great impact on the world. People had different attitudes toward science back then. Some found it inspiring—they thought of the progress medicine was making in curing common illnesses. But others found it a little frightening—it was changing life, making it a lot less familiar.

Science plays a bigger part in our lives than it did two centuries ago. Today, science has brought us great things like the internet, but also nuclear weapons, which, if used in large numbers, could kill off our species. Science still therefore creates the mixed feelings it did in Shelley's day. It's because Shelley saw both the promise and the danger of science that she's still an influence today.

In fact, he subtitle of the book, The Modern Prometheus (普罗米修斯), shows how important myth (神话) was to the writer. Prometheus, a figure from classical Creek mythology, written by ancient Creek playwright Sophocles, steals fire from the gods and gives it to people, an act for which he is terribly punished.

Shelley's husband, the famous poet Percy Shelley, wrote about him in Prometheus Unbound. In the poem, he is a revolutionary hero, who triumphs over the gods. In Mary Shelley's book, however, her modern Prometheus, Dr Frankenstein, is a highly controversial figure, who sacrifices his home and life for his crazy addiction to his creation.

In short, Mary Shelley's book is not just a scary and moving slory, but a philosophical tale that, even after 200 years, still speaks to modern readers.

2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World

Our global team spent the year researching, visiting, and vetting the entries to bring you a definitive directory of the best new restaurants.

La Semilla—Atlanta

This little tropical area serves up some of the tastiest plant-based dishes in the city. Married duo Sophia Marchese and chef Reid Trapani filled the space with unique personal touches, such as vintage decoration and hand-painted banana leaves on the bar's ceiling. Marchese selects drinks matching the place. Trapani's dishes pay honor to Marchese's Cuban heritage and his travels to Latin America. The star of the menu may be the soup made with local lion's-mane mushrooms.

Le Doyenne—Saint-Vrain, France

Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varielies of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry's cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.

Mi Compa Chava—Mexico City

Scafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night's damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today's. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco's creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.

Vilas—Bangkok

Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai? For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok's most acclaimed Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok's landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he gets ideas from King Chulalongkorn's 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients and cooking lechniques he added to the royal cookbooks.

It is natural for us teenagers to feel upset.  Here I am offering some useful suggestions.

Move your body.

Have you ever noticed that you feel happier and have a sense of achievement after a good workout? That's because working out creates endorphins — body chemicals that make us feel happy. No matter how low you are feeling, your mood will get a well-deserved boost (改善) after a workout. Exercise also helps you keep your heart in shape, makes you stronger and helps you stay at a healthy weight. And exercise is totally fun — and it's great for your self-esteem, too.

Talk about it.

Friends' ears can be a great source of support since you're all in the same boat. And don't forget your mom — she was once a teenager as well and may understand more than you realize. Even talking to your pet can help — just saying things out loud can help you see things differently and calm you down.

Laugh a lot.

Humour can rescue you from an upset moment or make you feel better when you're in an unpleasant mood. No matter what's going on, the ability to laugh at yourself and your situation is really important. It's true! Using your smile muscles tells your brain to make more endorphins and that boosts your mood.

Cry — it's okay!

Sometimes the only way to get out of your feelings is to cry — so go ahead! Shut yourself in your room and cry your eyes out! No one says you have to be happy all the time. 

A Why not pack up your suitcase and take a trip?

B. We can't say enough good things about exercise.

C. But still we should find ways to manage our feelings.

D. So smile at whatever is happening and choose to be happy.

E. And do you know just smiling can help better your mood?

F. When you are done, you'll be ready to face the world again.

G. Don't hold in all those feelings until you are ready to explode.

No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early 1900s. Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace. Here are some information about jazz.

Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz. The popularity of this music spread. From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was better than the rest. His name was Louis Armstrong.

Louis Armstrong was a born musician. He was not only talented but also hard-working. He also had a good sense of humor and a big, good-natured smile. These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame. After he became famous, he traveled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.

Louis Armstrong was bornin1900 in New Orleans. His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and Louis lived with his mother. How hard their life was can readily be imagined. And yet Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, "My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I accepted it. Whatever happened has been beautiful to me. I love everybody."
