Nobody had ever asked before. My hand1 rose to cover my mouth. But, as she looked at me, sincerely waiting for an answer, I2 she was not trying to be rude. "I never think about it," I truthfully replied. She nodded and3. I was left wondering if people looked at me and saw my gappy teeth.

Later that day at home, I began to4 my teeth again. I felt5. I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not gappy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have!

Of course, Mom6 everything. She has lived her entire life with gappy teeth, and tried to7 me that there was nothing to8. When I refused to listen, she told me I could get the surgery to close the gap if it was that important. "Let's be9, though," she said. "If everyone got surgeries to become pretty, everyone would be exactly the same. There is beauty in10."

Her words made me consider my teeth11. The thought of losing my gap was more terrible than the reality that people were going to notice it. I realized how important it was to me. It is part of my12 .

Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of "13." The14 is that no one is perfect. When all potential for ugliness is15, so is all of the potential for beauty.

So if that girl ever asked about my teeth again, I would truthfully answer, "You know? It's really cute."

Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies. Besides, when we're dealing with negative emotions, it's appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we're too tired to feel anything.

How can we break the bad cycle and get back our good night's sleep? Here are some practical strategies.

Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency.

Manage digital distractions. They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake. Try to make special tech-free times or zones in the bedroom. Use apps or tools that limit screen time or switch your device to nighttime mode to reduce blue light exposure.

When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep.

Above all, breaking the cycle of bedtime procrastination won't happen overnight, but every effort you make, every new habit you form, is a step in the right direction.

A. Our smart devices are double-edged swords.

B. So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination?

C. Identify the causes of it and start making changes.

D. Master stress and anxiety management techniques.

E. We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it.

F. As life goes tech-driven, we spend more time on screens.

G. What distracts us when we're supposed to be concentrating?

In Mali, where written records were historically rare, Griots became the keepers of oral history. Their knowledge is passed down through generations, ensuring that no detail is lost. Imagine having a living reference book that not only recites historical facts but sings them to you accompanied by the pleasing instruments.

What makes Griots truly fascinating is their double roles as both recorders and creators. They are not just record-keepers; they fill their tales with poetry, humor, and moral lessons. Griots are also inseparable from music, which serves as both a medium and a companion to their storytelling. Instruments are essentials of Griots' performances. These instruments don't merely accompany the words; they turn each story into an immersive (沉浸式的) experience.

In modern Mali, the role of Griots has developed, but their importance remains. Griots continue to be highly respected figures in their communities. They are often called upon for important life events such as weddings, naming ceremonies, etc., where their performances add depth and meaning to these important moments.

The Griot tradition also plays a critical role in Mali's music fields. Many of Mali's most celebrated musicians bend traditional storytelling with contemporary styles to reach global audiences. This integration has brought international attention to Mali's rich cultural heritage while ensuring that the Griot tradition remains dynamic and relevant.

Like many other cultural treasures, the Griot tradition faces challenges in the modern world, but efforts are being made to preserve this valuable heritage, from cultural festivals to educational programs that celebrate and teach the art of the Griot.

Known as "Dr. Tatiana", the professor2 physics tricks with endless energy and enthusiasm.3 of her experiments have received hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms，as she uses a range of4 objects in her experiments, from ping pong balls and toilet paper to bicycle wheels and hair dryers.

It's clear she knows what it takes to get young people5 about a hard science. But it isn't always that way. Two6 ago, when she first started7 college freshman classes she8 to attract her students attention. She says, "While teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students, first9 are important.10, I did not make it on the first day."

By the second semester, she found her11 her approach to make her large lecture halls feel12 and get her students engaged. "Talk to your students before and after class. When you teach your class, walk up and down the stairs rather than13 on the stage," she says, "And add demonstrations (示范), which help students connect the abstract concept with real life."

Erukhimova has earned more than just14 on social media; she was honored with a national award for her innovative15 programs.

One is that people care about their health. Plant-based ice creams contain less fat, so they are healthier. Environmental protection is also a reason. Since these ice creams are made from different kinds of plant milk, less water and energy are required in the production.

People used to think that plant-based ice creams tasted less delicious and less creamy. Thanks to recent technological innovations (创新), plant-based ice creams of new flavors are introduced. They taste just like the creamy and smooth ice creams made from cows' milk. As you can tell, the quality is really there, and people are becoming more and more interested in the new flavors.

With the growing popularity, the plant-based ice cream industry is making more money. Years ago, only a few companies produced plant-based ice creams.

A. But it's no longer the case.

B. The results might surprise you.

C. They are more popular now than ever before.

D. There are several reasons for the sharp growth.

E. Now more ice cream makers have entered the business.

"Embrace it. Roll with it," my husband, Lonny, says, "It's going to be like this for a while."

He is right. It's likely that life will continue to go forward before it slows down. But I remembered the still, quiet days that our family used to enjoy. I missed long walks through the park when we held the boys' little hands. I longed for (渴望) lazy Saturday afternoons under the tree in our backyard. I wanted to slip back a few years, when busyness was the exception and not the rule.

One night, after a particularly full day and evening games, our family gathered on the porch(门廊)for ice cream. Two parents, two teens, and three small boys piled on one old swing and a couple of rocking chairs. We were together, in one place, for a small slice of time.

The moon was full. The Mississippi River, flowing past our home, was smooth as glass. I wrapped my own arms around the son who sat on my lap and breathed deeply to inhale his little-boy scent(气味) — dirt and sweat. My heart was still and content(满足的).

I realized that while crazy is our new normal, happiness is as usual. They may look different from before, but they are still there—even if they're in the form of a single moment on the porch. Maybe I just need the eyes to see.

Here are some do-it-yourself gift ideas to try:

To your mother and dad:

You can clean the room, sing a song or write a letter to your mom and dad. You could also draw a picture if you like that.

To your teacher:

Sometimes students put their pocket money together and buy a teacher a holiday gift. Some kids would like to give their own gifts. You can send a nice card with the words of thanks inside. You might even write down the favorite thing you've learned in the teacher's class this year. It will make the teacher feel happy.

To the kids who need a friend:

The holidays are a good time to think about people who are lonely. Maybe there is someone in your class who doesn't seem to have any friends. Try to do something for this person. It could be giving a Christmas card or just chatting with him or her. It's a small thing, but it could mean a lot to him or her.

This Friday brought a mix of emotions — both excitement and disappointment — all because of a flyer (传单) from school. When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, "What's this?"

"A fly er for a five-day art camp," I explained. "But Emily can't go."

"Would you like to attend?" Mum asked. "You've always loved art." Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: "Tessa, you're the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships." I sighed.

Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. "Maybe next year."

"Maybe," I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons' pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile.

As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn't help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers… By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp.

I began by drawing the pine tree's strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, "You've done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper." "Thanks," I smiled, glancing up.

As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down — to get enough water and grow tall.

"You have a good eye, Tessa." With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye.

I paused my drawing, the pencil hovering above the paper. Roots don't grow down, but out... As I continued sketching the pine tree's needles on the paper, Mr. Weston's comment lingered in my mind. It was as if he was giving me a piece of advice without directly speaking about the art camp.
