I grew up in a house full of books, free to explore anything, as long as I returned it. But that's harder now. My parents, in their 80s, still live in Manhattan, while I'm in Los Angeles. The book I grabbed was a novel by S. A. Cosby. At first, I was surprised my father knew of him, but why not? For as long as I can remember, he's been a regular at his neighborhood bookstore. He used to say he wouldn't mind aging as long as he could read. Even now, I often find him with a book, though I fear he's begun to fall out of the narrative (叙述).

I didn't read the book until I was back in Southern California. I didn't want my father to know I had the book. I didn't want him to feel any stress about it, though the two of us have been talking books ever since I was 12. I didn't want to know what he might or might not recall.

Opening it felt like opening a conversation with my father, retracing his steps and reading through his eyes. I enjoyed the novel, though that's beside the point. What struck me most was a plotline about feeling sad for one's parents, a process I'm beginning to understand. When I finished, I ran my fingers over my father's mark on the cover, those letters he'd pressed into the cover with a hand-held metal press, spelling out a name the same as mine. Then I slipped the book into my suitcase, certain to return it next time I visit.

He played skiing, tennis, soccer, and many more. Sam was a kid who loved to play, and his parents had no particular athletic ambitions for him. It was nearing his teens that he began to focus more on basketball. In his mid-thirties, an age by which many professional basketball players are typically retired, Sam was still in the national basketball team.

Top athletes like Jack at the peak of their abilities do spend more time on focused, deliberate practice than their peers (同龄人). But scientists also find that potential champions typically devote less time to deliberate practice in childhood, but more to "sampling" various activities.

In a world that demands people to specialize early, we face a challenge to keep the benefits of diverse experiences and delayed concentration. There's a need for those with Jack's early focus. — People who start with many different things and accept various experiences. People with range.

A. There was no time to waste.

B. And it was all going according to plan.

C. The growing complexity of the world also calls for more Sams.

D. But it didn't seem to hold back his development in the long run.

E. In reality, the Sam's path to success is far more common, yet less told.

F. In contrast to Jack, Sam didn't show significant sporting talent until later.

G. Unlike the swimming talent, Sam's early years were filled with a variety of sports.

What does China look like from the sky? You can find the answer by (watch) the documentary (纪录片), Aerial China. It shows us our country's beautiful (nature) views. 

The documentary has 34 episodes (集). Each episode tells about a different place. The (one) season includes six episodes. It took more than 300 people one year (finish) Season 1. It's (say) that 16 helicopters and 57 drones (无人机) have flown over 150,000 kilometers to finish making the documentary. 

When you watch the documentary, you will be surprised by the amazing views of nature. You can enjoy the beautiful villages in Jiangxi. You can enjoy grassland in Xinjiang. 

But the amazing views are not the only thing Aerial China wants to show (we). Yu Le is the chief (direct) of the documentary. He said, "The more you know your motherland, the more you will love it. Then you will feel strongly responsible for protecting it. That's I made the documentary."

When the game started, I would take out my5. Most of the time, I'd be texting or daydreaming. Sometimes, my texting would be interrupted (打断) when the home team6. I knew they scored because everyone jumped up and7, even the women. I started to wonder. Why was I the only one NOT8 myself? Would I like this sport if I gave it a9? What if I tried to change my10?

I decided to11have a try—for my husband's sake, if not for my own. It took a few games, but soon I12who our latest player was, who had been traded and from where. When the other team scored, I felt13with the rest of my crowd. Soon I was asking questions like "What's a hat trick?"

My husband couldn't14it when he saw me getting involved (参与). I was surprised myself! We went to the next game and15going often. Today, one would never guess I hadn't grown up with hockey.

Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh. When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.

There are many common methods used to cook fish. First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.

A. Do not buy it.

B. The easiest is to steam it.

C. It just requires a little knowledge.

D. When buying fish, you should first smell it.

E. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

There could be several reasons for the long disappearances of the birds on the list. Maybe there have been no studies in areas where they live. Maybe people don't know where or how to find them. Maybe there are changes to their natural homes because of human activities.

This year, four expeditions (考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds. If any of these lost birds are found, ways can be found to protect them and help their populations grow. This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing.

In one video, for example, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word dongxi. He translated each part separately into "east west". And he introduced one theory (说法) about how dongxi came to mean "things". He told people that all marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west. So when you would say "qu mai dongxi". you'd be saying, "I'm going to buy things."

Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in Chinese traditional costume, which are quite welcome among his 40, 000 followers.

"Many of my followers are learning Chinese," Boris said. "But sadly, they know little about Chinese culture and the country."

Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that developed. But after he got a scholarship (奖学金) to study in China in 2019, his view changed. "China has entered a new period, but many people's impressions of China are still stuck in the1970s," Boris said. "That's why I started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture in 2019."

Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs online. But making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.

"I can understand and read every word in the poem," Boris said. "But to touch readers, I need to use proper feelings while reading." So he needed to look for much background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.

Though shooting these vlogs takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging the differences between two cultures. "This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will spare no efforts to do my part."

I had always thought of my neighborhood as a peaceful and friendly place. However, all that changed when Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way that blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick up my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look and said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him.

As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I could barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog, but he refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive.

One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I found that Mr. Thompson's car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door shut right in front of me. After that, we didn't talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly neighborhood ties are gone.

One day, as I was mowing the lawn（修剪草坪）in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a heavy box along his driveway.

Michael Bock, a 62-year-old baker from Germany, presents the art of traditional bread in China. His Bakery in Beijing is neither brightly colored that seems beautiful, is it located in a busy downtown area, but authentic German bread baked attracts customers from all over the city.

Bock's father was a baker, but he did not wish for his son to follow in his footsteps. "Being a baker (mean) getting up early every day, hands in lye (碱水), carrying a 10-kg bag of flour…" Bock told Beijing Review.

Eager to work his own hands, Bock still chose the road that was foretold to be hard (resolute). At the age of 15, he became a young bread apprentice (学徒). To become a qualified professional baker in Germany, one must undergo occupational education and training, with learning skills both at school and on the job (need).

"Every week, I spent one day studying profession-related(theory) knowledge. The rest of the days, I would spend in a company learning practical knowledge and work-related regulations. After completing the corresponding hours of work and training, apprentices are required to take an examination they can become a bakery worker." Bock said.

To his delight, he has not lost popularity due to this " (rigid)". Instead, the bakery has attracted many faithful Chinese customers (have) a preference for German bread. "It has made me more convinced about my choice." he said.

However, the1 opportunities and resources there made it difficult to pursue my own growth, so I went to the United States for my Ph. D. and postdoc. I assumed success meant2 a position at a highly research-related institution.

But during my postdoc, I realized I needed to change my3. I am a father of two daughters, one of whom requires long-term medical care. My modest4 and limited benefits brought me financial instability and emotional5. Professional stress bled into my home life. In turn, the weight of my personal6 made professional setbacks more disastrous. Trapped in this7, I began to reconsider my career path.

I applied to several positions, and was delighted when I started to receive invitations to interview. The campus visits included teaching8, discussions about mentoring, and an emphasis on how I would9 research into a student-centered environment. Such requirements were10 but refreshing, helping confirm that I was heading in the right direction. The students' engagement and curiosity11 my passion for mentorship. And research didn't disappear — perspectives on it12.

I've learned to redefine13 after 2 years into my current position. It isn't14 about high-impact publications or grants (拨款). It's about asking meaningful research questions,15 opportunities for students to grow, and maintaining a balance between professional ambitions and personal well-being.

You should always remember you are not a teacher. Although you need to guarantee that your children are completing their homework without any mistakes, you shouldn't do the homework for them. If you do, your children won't be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help.

Besides, be cautious about rewarding children for good grades. If you abuse this, your children will only attempt to study for a reward. Getting bad grades, they'll feel like a failure. Thus, it's better to praise your children when they pass a test. This way, they'll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures.

If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study, both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore, place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children's development, like playing sports and watching movies.

Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children's lack of interest in study. It's very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested. Therefore, it's good to take the above tips into account. As a result, your children may find a genuine desire to study and do their own homework.

A. That's not necessarily the case.

B. It is teachers' duty to correct homework mistakes.

C. You may enroll them in various after-class courses.

D. If not, patiently show them how to do better next time.

E. Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research.

F. Vital as study is, it's not the only thing kids must focus on.

G. Even if they fail in exams, you'd better control your temper.

It suggests that individuals act based on the meanings they attach to objects, people, and situations. These meanings, in turn, are constructed and improved through social interactions. Symbols, such as language, gestures, and objects, are central to this process, as they provide the medium through which individuals understand and interpret the social world.

A symbol, in the context of symbolic interactionism, is anything that carries meaning beyond its literal form. It could be a word, gesture, object, or even a social role. Symbols are not naturally meaningful; rather, their meanings are socially constructed and learned through interaction. For example, a handshake is not just a physical act but a symbol of greeting, agreement, or friendship in many cultures. Compared with saying hello, shaking hands has more unexpected effects.

Symbols are essential for human communication and interaction. They allow individuals to convey complex ideas, emotions, and intentions in a way that is understood by others. Language, for instance, is a system of symbols that allows people to communicate abstract concepts like love, justice, and freedom. Without symbols, human interaction would be limited to immediate, visible experiences.

One of the most important ways symbols function in social interaction is through the construction of identity. Individuals employ symbols to express who they are and how they relate to the world around them. The clothes one wears are symbols, which signal one's profession, social status, or even personal beliefs and preferences. For example, a doctor's white coat symbolizes medical authority, while a business suit might symbolize professionalism.

So have you got the magic of symbols?

Flooding can be difficult to accurately predict, particularly riverine floods, due to a lack of resources and data related to flood history, water levels, and terrain (地形). AI use in weather forecasting is nothing new. Still, the rise of more powerful processors and larger data sets is allowing for new scales of prediction, including a new Nvidia digital Earth.

A small percentage of global rivers have streamflow gauges (测量仪) which can be used to warn people if the volume of water flowing through the river changes. When combined with other points such as the local terrain, settlements near the river, weather forecasting, and historical events on the same river, data can be used to predict flooding. Google researchers gathered as much global data as they could access and trained new AI models to analyze them. Afterwards, those models could then make predictions for those regions where data might be considerably limited or even nonexistent.

The team launched a Flood Hub platform, which provided access to forecasts in 20countries where flood forecasting had been difficult in the past. The platform collected seemingly unrelated information which was available locally, fed it into the AI system as a reminder, and ordered the AI to fill in the gaps and then classify data. So far Flood Hub has been expanded to 80 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europea, and the Americas, covering over 460 million people globally, particularly those in communities suffering from flooding. "Where possible, we also provide forecasts in Google Search and Google Maps and via Android warnings." the Google team declared.
