Every morning on the island of Oahu, students at Pu' öhala Elementary gather on a field as towering mountains watch them from the mist. Their day starts with songs in ‘ölelo Hawai'i, the islands' native language, restating values of respect and justice that their teachers hope will guide them through their education, and throughout their lives.

Like most kids their age, they're not concerned about the significance of the language they're learning. Still, they have a weighty responsibility: to receive the torch (火炬) and ensure the security of ‘ölelo Hawai' i for future generations.

It was only 50 years ago that the language was on the edge of extinction. Though the situation is much improved, in many ways ‘ölelo Hawai' i is still on life support. Teachers say there's a huge enthusiasm for school kids to learn the language, but as they grow up, they're encouraged to focus on "more useful" subjects and use English, which are believed to assist them in achieving success in their work. In 2016, there were 18, 610 Hawaiian speakers on the islands.

"One hundred thousand is the approximate number of speakers needed to consider the language safe, " says Solomon, professor of Hawaiian language at University of Hawai'i at Manoa. "The idea is that there are enough people passing it on to the next generation, socializing their children to use the language in all domains of life, to express all thoughts and needs and desires. "

Fortunately, the kids of Pu' öhala Elementary will take the responsibility to continue the work of the current young adults defending the language, expanding access to ‘ölelo Hawai'i in part through TikTok and Instagram, and making the language a practical skill in adulthood. These youth, along with those committed to recovering the language from previous generations, share their hopes for the better.

   It was July 2019 and my mum Rebecca was taking me on a 120km walking holiday from Portugal to Spain as a special treat for my 10th birthday. One day, while walking along the coastal path staring out at the Atlantic ocean, I chatted away to Mum. "When Lexi turns.10,are you going to take her on a trip like this?" I asked, referring to my seven-year-old sister. Mum said Lexi had already asked to go to Svalbard in the north of Norway because she was crazy about polar bears.
   Although I was still on my first special trip, I'd been learning about ancient civilizations at school and knew I'd love to see some relics in the flesh. So I continued saying, "Why don't I go to Egypt while you're in Svalbard with Lexi?", adding that my dad, Olaf, could take me there. "Great, but I'm not paying for it." Muim replied, chuckling. "That's fine. I'll pay,"I said, "I'll save up my pocket money and get a job."
   So that's exactly what I did. Though I was too young to do any other paid work, I had my own solution. I started saving my $10-a-week pocket money. Also, I washed my parents'car or mowed the lawn for extra cash.
   In 2020, we moved to Perth. One day, I saw a pamphlet（小册子） in the letter box advertising a job delivering catalogues. When I told Mum I wanted to do it, she tried to put me off the idea, reminding me that the work was tiring and time-consuming. But when seeing the determination in my eyes, she agreed to call them. Thankfully, my young age didn't bother them-I got the job. On a Monday, a mountain of catalogues were dropped off at our house, which shocked me a lot. I told myself to calm down and dedicated to work. It took me nine hours to sort through them. At first, I used my bike and carried the catalogues in my backpack to deliver them to 430 houses in my area.

Growing up on a farm, Tori James spent much of her early years outdoors, building shelters and playing in muddy streams. She 1  herself as an ambitious and adventurous child and owes the Duke of Edinburgh Award to her love for 2 . James says she could never have 3  that one day she might be the youngest British woman to 4  the peak of Mount Everest.

Today, James is a（n）5  adventurer. Alongside her successful climb of the world's 6  peak in 2007, she was a member of the first all-female team to 7  a tiring 650-kilometre ski race to the Magnetic North Pole in 2005, and in 2014 she set the 8  for the longest non-stop open-sea kayak crossing in UK waters.

Yet ahead of her first exploration at the age of 18, James had 9  her ability to last a month out in the cold without the comfort of a hot bath. "It's only by 10  our comfort zone that we understand our true potential," she explains, "That's when the 11  happens."

James encourages would-be adventurers not to be 12  by the conventional image of the rugged （粗犷的）， hardy explorer. "I am such a believer that, with the right support and skills, everyone can bring 13  to an exploration," she adds, "Sometimes, it's only out in the field that someone's 14  talents emerge, 15  in the process of exploration."

How to Deal with Awkward Silences

We all know what it's like when a conversation dies off and you're left to sit in silence.  Thankfully, filling these silences isn't as difficult as it may seem. Read on to learn how to initiate small talk and deal with awkward silences.

• Think of topics ahead of time.

Before attending a social event, think of a few "go-to" topics to jumpstart a dead conversation. This will help you to fill the silences instead of struggling for words in the moment. Recent news, local events, popular books and television shows are all good fallback options. 

• Ask open-ended questions.

Ask questions that have more than one possible answer.  They help avoid resulting in short response. For example, instead of asking, "Did you like your high school?", you could ask, "What did you like about your high school?"

•

As with any good conversation, the biggest key is to listen. If they respond to your question with a short statement such as "Yes"or "No", that might indicate that they aren't comfortable talking about a particular subject. Instead, talk about something that you know they're interested in. For example, "I heard you won your football game the other night. I'd love to hear about it."

• Give a compliment （表扬）.

 For example, you could say, "I really like your shirt. Where did you get it?" This could move the conversation in another direction while making the other person feel good. Stick to saying nice things if you're trying to make small talk.

A. Keep the conversation flowing.

B. It also allows you to spend more time together.

C. Listen carefully and respond to their reactions.

D. There's only one word to describe it: awkward.

E. This is always a safe bet, as long as it's appropriate.

F. Such questions are likely to get the person talking more.

G. However, avoid some subjects that may cause arguments.

When people think of word innovators throughout history, male writers likely come to mind. Shakespeare is credited with inventing more than 1,700 words, including "bedroom", "courtship" and "swagger". Charles Dickens is said to have first used the words "butterfingers" and "doormat", and Dr. Seuss reportedly came up with "nerd".

But despite contributions from famous writers, historians say another group has an even greater impact on the development of language: teenage girls. Women lead up to 90 percent of linguistic （语言的） changes, as sociolinguist William Labov observed in the early 2000s. In fact, he wrote, women are often linguistically ahead of men "by a full generation".

Now women are leading the charge online. Though Oxford University Press'2023 word of the year, "rizz", meaning charm, was coined by a man, several runners-up, including "situationship" and "swiftie" were inspired or first used by women. The term "goblin mode", which refers to lazy behavior, was Oxford's 2022 word of the year and appears to have been first used by a woman on Twitter in 

2009.

It's often impossible to tell who first used new words. But whether or not young girls invent new phrases, they are more likely to be early adopters of the latest lingo（术语）， says University of Toronto linguist Sali Tagliamonte, "They're pushing changes forward."

There are a handful of possible reasons why girls lead lexical （词汇的） innovation. According to Gretchen McCulloch, author of Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language, women tend to be more socially aware. They have larger social circles and may be exposed to more language diversity. And because women tend to be caregivers, boys usually learn language from their mothers, whereas women and girls learn words from other women.

Almost all new parents struggle to get enough sleep while caring for their newborns. For some penguin （企鹅） parents, though, periods of sleep are especially short.

Researchers recently found that Chinstrap penguins only sleep for about four seconds at a time in order to protect their eggs and newborn chicks. They do this thousands of times throughout the day. The short "microsleeps" total around 11 hours each day. The microsleeps appear to be enough to keep the parents going for many weeks.

Niels Rattenborg, a sleep researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Germany, said, "What's surprising is that the penguins are able to function okay and successfully raise their young."

Chinstrap penguins usually lay their eggs in November in nests made up of small rocks. Mated （交配的） pairs share parenting responsibilities. One parent usually watches the eggs and chicks alone while the other goes off fishing for family meals. Adult penguins don't face many natural enemies in the mating season. But large birds called brown skuas eat the penguin eggs and small chicks. Other adult penguins may also try to steal the small rocks from the nests, so penguin parents must always be on guard.

For the first time, scientists followed the sleeping behavior of Chinstrap penguins. They did this by attaching devices that measure brain waves. They collected data on 14 adults over 11 days on King George Island off the coast of Antarctica.

Won Young Lee, a biologist at the Korean Polar Research Institute, thought of the idea for the study when he saw mating penguins often blinking （眨） their eyes and possibly sleeping. But the team needed to record brain waves to confirm the animals were sleeping. "For these penguins, microsleeps have some restorative functions," he said. He added that they would not survive without it.

The researchers didn't collect sleep data outside the mating season. But they suspect that the penguins may sleep for longer periods at other times of the year.

The memory of one particular summer evening is still burned in my brain as if it were yesterday. There was nothing but wide-open fields for miles and miles around our rural Minnesota home. We never saw strangers not ever and here on this hot evening was a real live one walking up our driveway.

A young man, a slightly-built hitchhiker （搭便车的人） approached our door. He knew there was a storm coming, and he desperately needed shelter. Not wanting to intrude on our home and family, he asked my dad if he could sleep in our basement for the night for protection from the rain. Instead of saying yes, my dad loaded us all up in the 1959 Chevrolet: five kids, my mum, and the man.

Our family consisted of three older children whose father had died young and three more children from the union of my mother and father. Our older brother Jerry was in the Navy, on a ship somewhere overseas. Our mum and dad worried about him.

We drove him 10 miles to the next town, where Dad bought the man a room for the night along with a hot evening meal. In the car after we dropped off the stranger, I heard my dad say to my mum, "I just hope that if Jerry ever needs anything, this kindness will be returned to him."

Weeks later, Dad told my uncle about the young man. My uncle suggested that perhaps my dad shouldn't have taken the risk of having a stranger in our car. My dad replied, "You are absolutely right. I should have invited him into our home."

I was a bad boy in a village in India. At least I was labeled that way because I had no interest in school or studies. I used bad language, hung around with other "bad" boys, skipped school and ran through the fields. No one thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. And I'd heard many people in our village talking. "Why bother going to school? These kids end up back on the farms anyway. He'll never amount to anything." My parents and teachers were disappointed with my average marks.

My mother envisioned a different future and knew the value of education to create a better life. By the time I entered the 12th grade, I had taken a good look at myself and realized the life I was creating. The bad boy image troubled me. I didn't believe I was a bad boy. I didn't want to be a bad boy. These realizations forced me to acknowledge that my mother was right — education was my only way out. I worked hard to finish my high school, and then I decided to apply for higher education in university. But this village bad boy faced too many challenges.

Firstly, my family had very limited money. In addition to that, my grades were not good. There was very little chance I'd gain admission to a university. Still, I took a chance and applied. The last day of admissions, I visited the university to check my result. I looked down the list, and there it was, "Parashram J. Patil". Finally, I'd been admitted. Now, it was the last day to pay, so I had to find money to cover my fees.

Success means different things for different people. Some may equate it with fame, some with wealth and still some with accomplishments. For me, it means (realize ) one's dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal there and then devote (you) to it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. In the process of struggling for it, you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting (make) you forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old proverb says that the (sweet) fruit is one that has undergone the bitterest experience.

There are several keys success. First of all, your goal must be (practice). It is well known that if you set your goal (extreme) high, you will not attain it. Next, you have to make detailed plan of doing it. You can take some (step) to realize it. Since the process is quite tough, you need to be diligent, patient and persevering. Faced with some difficulties or frustrations, you may meet with in the process, don't lose heart. You should repeat over and over that there is nothing you can't overcome. With this will and determination, success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel!

We were silently waiting on the platform in the late afternoon. There he was, my 50-year old 1 with his grey hair and there I was, a teenager girl in my jeans and T-shirt. His aged 2 still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene. I was wondering3 I was going to get through the next two days. "Why did I agree to be with my strange grandpa on a 4 ride from our city to another?" I asked myself.

No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather 5 to take a plane. 6 him, I loved to fly because I wanted to get to the destination as quickly as possible. No matter what anyone told my grandfather about the comfort and safety of flying, he refused to 7 a flight, saying, "It's not just the trip. It's the adventure of getting there. "

With my first step onto the train, the journey was already 8 what I expected. The train was modern and it was filled with 9  travelers. We all smiled and nodded to greet each other. 

My grandpa and I seated ourselves in the 10 car. While watching the scenery pass, we could enjoy food and drinks. 11  listening to my music, I became a willing audience and I learned family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn about. I felt I 12  him for the first time. I was 13  for our time together on the train.

You may hear the phrase — dress for success. . But does it matter what you wear for a workout? Listed below are four reasons why you should wear good quality workout clothing.

The Right Athletic Clothing Increases Confidence

The clothing you wear is going to make a difference if you believe it's going to help you perform better. Studies have shown the positive impact of wearing the right clothes for your workplace and this extends to sports and fitness too. . That is to say, if you like what you are wearing at the gym, there is a greater chance you will want to exercise.

Maybe you need a shirt that takes away moisture (水分) from the body so your morning jogs are more comfortable and you can stay out longer. However, a pair of running shoes would not be appropriate on the soccer field. Shoes made for running lack the flexibility and stability required for other sports, thus affecting your performance.

The Right Workout Equipment Adds Protection & Prevents Injuries

You may want a cap to cover your head and protect your face. You might want to use gloves in the gym to protect your hands while using improperly fitted equipment is a major cause of sports-related injuries. .

Well-Fitted Athletic Clothing Improves Freedom of Movement

. A tight shirt can restrict your movement. Even if you are able to swing or make other movements you will be affected if you are aware of the tightness around your body.

A. It will consequently turn pleasing workout into hospital visits

Researchers at the University of Arizona have been studying the effects of green light therapy on those suffering from migraine (偏头痛). In September, they completed their first clinical study and the results are very encouraging. They found that green light therapy is extremely beneficial to those who suffer from headaches. It not only reduces the intensity of the pain, but it also decreases its frequency by 60 percent, significantly improving patients' quality of life.

According to the Migraine Research Foundation, migraine is the third most common illness in the world, affecting one billion worldwide, including men, women, and children. Additionally, it is the sixth most disabling illness in the world and more than 90 percent of the sufferers are unable to carry on with their normal activities during their sufferings. And when it is actually treated, medication overuse can lead to episodic (偶尔发生的) migraine turning chronic (慢性的).

According to Science Daily, the recent clinical study included 29 patients who suffer from episodic or chronic migraine. They have tried but failed in several traditional therapies including Botox injections and oral medications. In the study, participants spent two hours at home each day staring at a green-light LED. They did this for ten weeks, reporting the number and intensity of headaches they had.

Dr. Patwardhan, co-author of the study, said that the green light discharged by the LED greatly helps those who do not want to take medicine as well as those who do not respond to medications. "The beauty of this approach is the lack of associated side effects," Patwardhan explained. But that's not all. The participants also reported significant improvements in sleep quality and in the ability to perform everyday normal activities such as exercise and work. And none of them reported any side effects.

As the study reveals, green light treatment might be an unprecedented (前所未有的) alternative for migraine sufferers.

Towards the end of the 1985 sci-fi classic Back to the Future, the inventor Doc Brown announces "where we're going, we don't need roads as the car lifts into the air". While flying cars aren't yet filling our skies, many are in development. In October the Chinese XPeng X2 successfully completed the first public test flight of its two-seater flying car in Dubai.

The XPeng X2 lifts vertically off the ground using eight propellers (螺旋桨), without the need for a runway, and is therefore suitable for built-up city areas. The vehicle, designed to carry two passengers, is fully electric and its makers say it can rise through the air at around two meters per second and then reach speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. The XPeng X2 is equipped with AI automation — it can be set to self-drive. It learns how to avoid traffic, buildings and people. It does not produce any carbon dioxide emissions during flight and is a step forward in the pursuit of urban green transportation. It is suitable for future low-altitude city flights and is perfect for short-distance city journeys such as sightseeing and medical transportation.

Although the test flight lasted just 90 seconds, according to Dr. Liu, chief aviation specialist at Xpeng Aeroht, the technology is close to being ready for public use, but regulations on flying cars are still some way off. Liu believes that people will be able to use flying cars within limited regulated spaces in just five years. This lines up pretty well with the Chinese government's plan to put flying taxis on the market by

2025. The self-driving function presents further difficulties with regulation and also throws into question public acceptance. Many people are worried about the safety issues around self-driving cars on the ground, let alone vehicles that are flying around above their heads. However, Peng says it is safer for its flying car to be self-driving than to be driven by a human.

There are lots of flying cars in development now around the world and many of them actually fly, like Opener's "BlackFly", SkyDriver's "SD-03''and Klein Vision's "AirCar" — which made a successful 35-minute test flight between two cities in Slovakia in

2021.

Pamela Malhotra has always attached great importance to education. However, life always seemed to "get in the way" every time she tried to finish her bachelor's degree. The single mom was so devoted to working to support her two children that she repeatedly put her own education goals on hold, giving up her college program on two separate occasions over the years.

When he was just five years old, her son Bonifacio Malhotra noticed her struggling to get her degree, and he made a promise to help her. "I remember I just told my mom… one day, it's gonna be you and me," Bonifacio said. "We're going to gain our degrees at the same time." Those words proved to be predictable for the mom-and-son duo, who currently walked across the stage at the university to collect their bachelor's degrees together!

"That promise, he never allowed it to die," said Pamela. "He continuously confirmed that we're gonna do this." Their path to graduation wasn't easy, but Bonifacio stayed true to his promise and helped his mother along the way. The two hold two associate's degrees each, so in the fall of 2021 they registered together in bachelor-level online courses. They both found the classes challenging, but Bonifacio stepped up as the cheerleader his mother needed. "Mom, you've got to keep it going. I know you want to stop. We must keep going," Bonifacio recalled. "The main thing was just trying to get everything lined up and stay on top of all the work."

It took the Malhotras two years to finish their bachelor's degrees, hers in humanities and Bonifacio's in public safety administration. Pamela plans to stay at her job as a coordinator, and Bonifacio has accepted a job at university to help other students succeed in college, too.

Pamela said she was incredibly proud of her son's achievement, and she personally couldn't have reached her lifelong goal without the support of her family, especially him. "Between my son and my daughter, they were my greatest supporter," Pamela proudly said.
