The Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, has been  (official) listed as a UN floating holiday in its calendar of conferences and meetings as from 2024.

The UN General Assembly, in a resolution (决议), acknowledges the significance of the Lunar New Year,  is observed in many UN member states, and invites the UN bodies at headquarters and other duty  (station), where observed, to avoid holding meetings on the Lunar New Year.

The resolution,  (adopt) on Friday without a vote, encourages this arrangement to be considered when drafting future calendars of conferences and meetings.

Dai Bing, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, said after the adoption of the resolution that the Spring Festival, not only bears the ideas of the Chinese civilization of peace and harmony but also (carry) the common values of humanity such as harmonious family, social inclusion and sound relationship between man nature.

Dai said China's effort (promote) the Spring Festival as a UN holiday is a practical step toward (realize) its Global Civilization Initiative.

The resolution serves  a showcase of the influence of Chinese civilization and aims to enhance interactions between different civilizations worldwide. It also reflects the values of  (diverse) and inclusion promoted by the United Nations, he said.

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet Angel. He knew it was a long trip to where Angel lived, so he packed his 1 with bread and a six-pack of root beer and he started his 2 .

When he had 3 three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just 4 some pigeons blankly. The boy sat down next to her and 5 his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked 6 , so he offered her some bread. She 7 accepted it and smiled at him. Her 8 was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he 9 her a root beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was 10 ! They sat there all afternoon 11 and smiling, but they never said a word.

As it grew12 , the boy realized how13 he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he14 , ran back to the old woman and gave her a15 . She gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was16 by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so17 ?" He replied, "I had18 with Angel." But before his mother could19 , he added, "You know what? She's got the most20 smile I've ever seen!"

How do we stay motivated once we have committed ourselves to action?  Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.

Have self-belief

When you are faced with a setback, don't just let it defeat you. Remember that you have already overcome other obstacles. Believing in your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator. You know you can solve the problem facing you because you have done it before.

Setting goals

The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals. A long-termgoal will be the ultimate dream —let's say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.

Happiness is a choice

Don't let problems, difficulties, or setbacks get you down. They are temporary, and with a bit of effort and organization, they will be solved. Choose to stay happy, to be contented, and motivated. Remember that happiness should not be a final goal.

Keep your motives in mind

Periodically, it is good to step back and take a critical look at what you are doing and why. This will help you to see whether your motives are the same as they were at the start of your venture.  Doing something for the wrong motives, especially those that fall outside the law, can be a source of much worry and certainly will lead to motivation being affected.

A．You'll be easier to work with.

B．Self-motivation requires effort.

C．It must be the way you lead your life.

D．Believe in yourself and your abilities.

E．Don't let motives slip after your failure.

F．Our dreams are usually a bit uncertain and unclear.

G．Motives can change not always for the right reasons.

Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. All over the world, as soon as light filters over the horizon, songbirds start singing. They sing to defend their territory and to impress potential mates.

"Why birds sing is relatively well-answered," says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much? "For some reason," Adam says, birds have "a crazy drive to sing." This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous.

"As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself," she says. "Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody."

In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may not have much choice. They may have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal muscles the regular exercise they need to produce top-quality song.

These findings could be related to human voice s too. "If you apply the bird results to the humans," says Adam, "anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience a loss in vocal performance."

To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed a series of experiments on zebra finches —little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks.

Through these experiments. Adam's conclusion is that "songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don't sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that's bad."

This may help explain songbirds' constant singing. It's a kind of daily vocal practice to keep their instruments in tip-top shape. It's a good rule to live by, whether you're a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one's heart out.

Waste heat is a worldwide energy problem most people have probably never heard about. Every machine and power station, even renewable energy like wind and solar, creates heat that is simply lost in the atmosphere. Thankfully, scientists and engineers are devoted to capturing heat and transforming it into useful electricity.

Thermophotovoltaic devices (热光电设备) are one promising way to use this waste heat. University of Michigan engineers have created a precisely machined thermophotovoltaic cell that could be used to generate electricity from surplus renewable power. The cells would use heat stored in molten salt and turn it into electricity on demand, in a form that is much cheaper than batteries, say its creators.

One of the factors important to any device's thermoelectric efficiency is its material. If higher electrical energy can be created with smaller temperature differences, then the materials are said to have a high ZT value. And a new material created by scientists in Vienna has broken the ZT value world record.

Any new thermoelectric material has to have a distinct advantage, and research is identifying a number of promising products. Pyroelectric films (热电薄膜) are aimed at waste heat emitted at less than 100 degrees Celsius (212 F) and can generate electricity when a material is either heated or cooled.

Low-temperature generation includes computers and cars, making pyroelectrics particularly useful for squeezing more energy out of electronic systems.

Another relative advantage is inexpensive materials. More abundant elements like tin, selenium, and magnesium are cheap and abundant, with high ZT values when combined in the right way. Their use could lead to greener car engines and industrial facilities.

And when it comes to personal electronics, thermoelectric could eventually see off traditional charging hardware. Chinese researchers have built a wristband that gathers body heat to power a LED and may be able to power smartwatches or other mobile devices in the future.

My passion for the field of dietetics (营养学) started at a very young age. Ever since I can remember, I have been dreaming of becoming a pastry chef.

I grew up being part of various sports teams. As I grew older, I noticed how food influenced my performance as an athlete. I started reading more about nutrition and signed up for an introductory nutrition course during my first year of college.

However, I noticed when I entered my dietetics classes, that I looked quite different from most students. I was the only ethnically diverse student in my classes.

My mom was born in Austria and my father in Iran. They met in Austria and moved to the U. S. before my brother and I were born. They exposed us to their own traditional cultural foods, and I grew up eating a fusion of Iranian and Austrian dishes.

I remember never having a taste for school cafeteria food, so I always requested my mom pack me lunch. She would pack me leftovers from dinner, such as a kuku sabzi, a Persian egg and herb frittata, or schnitzel with dartoffelsalat, a customary Austrian dish of fried breaded chicken. At times, I felt embarrassed about my meals, and would hide these from my peers to avoid the horrible question of, "Ew, what is that?" However, over time, and once I became a qualified RD (注册营养师), I realized my unique background allowed me to connect more deeply with others from different cultures.

I encouraged my clients (客户) to share what they grew up eating and what foods were customary to their unique upbringing. I developed nutrition recommendations for my clients that included traditional staples from their heritage culture. These experiences and my dual heritage background empowered me to encourage my clients and other RDs to proudly share their unique cultural foods, to stop feeling embarrassed, but instead embrace our differences and increase cultural awareness in the field of dietetics.

It was the last day of school, and the long year spent in fourth grade had finally come to an end. It had rained heavily all day, and by the afternoon it became chilly. The sun had dipped below the horizon (地平线) as I got home soaked (湿透) and cold. I rushed into my room and slipped into some dry clothes. Once I had changed, I joined my mother in the kitchen. She had already lit the fire to prepare supper.

The wood soon caught fire, and the warmth spread around the room. I tried to get closer to the fire as my body was shivering with the intense cold. My mother gently rubbed my back and said, "I am proud of you, my little hero," as I told her how my schoolwork had improved. I remember her bright smile and the joy in her eyes.

My mother started humming the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson. I immediately began to sing with my mother. We would always sing songs like this together. My mother knew how much I loved singing. She always felt sorry that she couldn't afford to pay for music classes for me.

Life was not easy for us during that period. I was living with my mother after she separated from my dad, which happened the year before when I was in third grade. Sometimes the nights were tedious (单调乏味的) and tiresome as we did not have a television and the batteries in our old radio would often run out. However, I enjoyed the 20 songs that my mother and I sang together. As she hummed the tune and I sang along, I dreamed of a world where performing on stage would be the pillar (支柱) of my life. The turning point of my childhood came after the end of fourth grade. Our neighbor moved away and left his old piano to us.
