International Women's Day, (celebrate) on March 8th every year, is a global day honoring women's social, economic, cultural and (politics) achievements. It also calls for action to speed up gender (equal). The day reminds us of women's great contributions in history and modern society.

The idea for this special day started in the early 1900s, women fought for their rights to work, vote and fair treatment. Today, it is (wide) celebrated around the world. From mothers and teachers scientists and leaders, women play vital roles in society. We celebrate (pioneer) like Marie Curie and heroes like Malala Yousafzai, who fights for girls' education.

However, International Women's Day is not just about looking back. It is also about looking forward. It reminds us that there is still work (build) a world where everyone has equal chances and respect, whatever their gender. We can all be part of this change. As students, we can learn from great women, speak up against unfairness value the women around us. Together, we can build equal, inclusive and bright future for all.

On my first day, I felt a bit4. I didn't know if my small5 would truly help anyone. However, as I began sorting through donated shoes, I noticed the6 of the full-time workers. They weren't forced to wear a smile, but they did anyway. Their7 was infectious. It made me realize that helping others isn't just a8; it's a source of happiness.

One afternoon, I helped a young mother9 a backpack for her son's first day of school. When she saw the10 supplies inside, her eyes filled with tears. She thanked me for the11, but I felt like I was the one who had12 something.

In our busy lives, we often focus on learning how to speak well to express our ideas. Active listening is a skill that can improve your relationships and help you learn better. Here are some tips to become a better listener.

Put away distractions

To listen actively, you must give the speaker your full attention. When you are looking at your screen, you are telling the other person that they are not important. Put your phone in your pocket and look at the person who is talking.

Show that you are listening

Nod your head, smile, and maintain eye contact. Verbal encouragement is also helpful. Simple words like "I see" or "Go on" encourage the speaker to continue. These small signals show that you are listening attentively and following their train of thought.

Don't interrupt

It is natural to want to jump in with your own opinion or a similar story. Interrupting breaks the speaker's train of thought. Wait until they have finished their point before you ask questions or share your views.

Summarize what you heard

When the person finishes speaking, try to repeat the main idea back to them in your own words. You might say, "So, what you are saying is… " It also gives the speaker a chance to clarify if you misunderstood something.

A. However, try to hold back.

B. Use body language to indicate you are engaged.

C. Listening is a natural talent that cannot be taught.

D. However, listening is just as important as speaking.

E. This confirms that you truly understood the message.

F. You should also try to solve their problems immediately.

G. This means putting down your phone or closing your book.

With e-waste rising five times faster than recycling rates, new solutions to the problem can't come soon enough. Aquafade could be one — a fully water-dissolving plastic (可溶于水的塑料) that dissolves completely in about six hours when placed in water. It could be used to pack electronics and dissolved when the electronic is no longer wanted, making it easier to recycle the most valuable parts and reducing the amount of e-waste. "For most electronic products, when they're being recycled, it's the disassembly (拆卸) that's the real trouble, and really needs a large amount of human resources," said Samuel Wangsaputra, one of the inventors of Aquafade.

"One night I was doing the dishes, and I was looking at a dishwasher bag," Wangsaputra said, attracted by the water-dissolving film. "And I thought, where does the film go? So I tried one, just in water, and it fully disappeared." And now Wangsaputra has found a material called Aquafade. It is only applied to the outer shell, making the product water resistant (有抵抗力的) up to five meters for 30 minutes. "But once you take off just one part from the product and you put it in water. Five to six hours later, it will dilute, and what's left is milky water and the most valuable parts of the electronics," said Wangsaputra.

The first commercial application for Aquafade is likely to be as the casing for LED wristbands worn at concerts. While they are currently more focused on single-use electronics, they would eventually like to see Aquafade shells used on all kinds of devices. For now, Aquafade is double the cost of regular plastics, but Wangsaputra said wholesale production will make it cheaper.

In the study, participants reported their usual bedtimes and wake-up times on both weekdays and weekends, allowing researchers to work out their "weekend catch-up sleep" — the difference between average weekend sleep and weekday sleep. Each subject was also asked about their emotional well-being. Researchers found teenagers and young adults who made up for lost sleep on weekends showed a lower risk of being depressive.

The scientists recommend that teenagers get between 8 and 10 hours of sleep every night, but agree that perfect sleep schedules are often unrealistic for teens considering school, homework, extracurricular activities, social lives and — for many — part-time jobs. Biology plays a major role in the problem of lack of sleep among teenagers. During the teenage years, circadian rhythms — the body's internal clock — move later, making it harder for teens to fall asleep early. "Instead of getting up early in the morning, you're going to become more of a night owl," Casement, the lead author of the study, explained. "And sleep onset keeps holding over until age 18 to 20. After that, you will get up early as usual again."

"Depression is one of the leading causes of disability among people aged 16 to 24," Casement noted. In this context, disability refers broadly to damaged daily functioning, including difficulty in attending school or work, frequent absences or lateness. "It makes that age range of particular interest in trying to understand risk factors for being depressive and how those might relate to delivery of interventions (干预措施)," Casement added.

"I'm sorry," he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. "I thought I had enough."

The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. "You're short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?"

People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. "I... I don't need these. They were for my grandson, but..."

I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. "I'll pay for it," I said. "Please keep the cookies."

The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. "No, Miss, I couldn't..."

"It's fine," I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. "Consider it a gift for your grandson."

He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. "You don't know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn't arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you."

A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. "He wanted to share one with you," the man said.

That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I'd ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope.

Spring Break in Japan

Model United Nations (MUN)

Under the guidance of Annie Choi, the MUN program continues its tradition of competitive travel. While the exact destinations for the coming year are being decided, common places for delegates include Washington D. C., New York, and many other international cities. These experiences help students move beyond their comfort zones and greatly improve their ability to speak in public.

Winter Eco-Adventure in Central America

Happening from December 27 to January 4, this trip to Panama and Costa Rica is led by math teacher Nick Scheftic. It combines natural eco-sights with physical activities, such as swimming in the sea, surfing, and climbing through the rainforest. Importantly, students on this trip have a special chance to get both high school and college credits.

Students who want to take part in these global trips are encouraged to attend information meetings and plan early, because many students are interested and the number of places is limited.

I never thought a photo could break my world. But last Friday, it did.

The photo was me — at age six, crying on a tricycle (三轮车), wearing a silly rainbow helmet (头盔) my mom had bought. I looked like a frightened turtle. The problem? My mom had posted it on her social media with the words, "My little guy's first crash! Some things never change!"

My phone wouldn't stop buzzing. "Dude, your mom's post is funny." "Is that really you?" "Rainbow helmet!" By the time I got home, the photo had been shared over a hundred times. I stood in the kitchen, holding my phone out to her, my face burning.

"Mom, take it down. Now."

She looked up from chopping vegetables, confused. "What? It's just a cute picture."

"It's not cute. Everyone at school is laughing at me."

"They're laughing with you, sweetie."

"No, they're not." My voice cracked. "You don't get it. You never get it!"

She put down the knife, her expression shifting. "I didn't mean to embarrass you. But it's just a silly old photo —"

"It's not silly to me!" I shouted. "Everything I do ends up online. Nothing is mine anymore. Not even my own childhood."

The kitchen fell silent. My mom's hand froze on the counter, her face unreadable. I turned and walked out, grabbing my jacket. "I'm going for a walk," I muttered, and the door closed behind me before she could respond.
