Jane threw down a1 challenge to Chandler: swimming to the other side of the pool without2 for air. It's a game the couple had played so many times. With excitement, Chandler eagerly3 the challenge.

However, as he4 the far end of the pool and remained underwater, what began as fun took a5. Bubbles (气泡)appeared at the water's surface,6 regarded as part of the game at first. Yet, as seconds turned into worrying minutes, the cheerful atmosphere changed into7—Chandler's parents realized how8 the situation was.

His mom Emily grew anxious and called out to her husband Wilson in alarm. In the beginning, Jane couldn't quite understand Emily's9. But as Wilson ran to10 Chandler out of the water, Jane saw his grey skin and blue lips and realized something was deathly wrong. Her mind went blank and she didn't know what to do.

A few days later, Chandler completely recovered. Since then, he and Jane have been trying their best to raise people's15 of the danger of drowning (溺水).

It can be tough to get into and stick with an exercise routine.

Break it up.

Fitness professionals have changed their tune on this over the years. Everything counts towards those weekly activity targets, as long as the intensity is high enough. You can spend 5 minutes climbing the stairs in your home a few times.

Increase slowly.

Jumping into a busy and intense exercise routine can set you up for mental and physical burnout. Beginning where you are comfortable and slowly increasing the duration and intensity over a period of weeks or months. Getting on an exercise program or finding a personal trainer can help with this progression.

Exercise is as important as any other activity. And while small bouts are good, you'll also probably get to a point where you want to do longer durations. And that's where looking at your schedule, finding a time that works during your day, and adding it to your calendar will help.

Consider high-intensity interval training.

It calls for a shorter duration of exercise than traditional workouts, resulting in less time commitment and fewer injuries overall. Plus, it can be done without equipment in your home. Finding a personal trainer to help you structure its workout can be a great help.

Do "Non-exercise" exercise.

Do you count playing with your kids and cleaning the house as exercise? You should — because they can all count towards your movement quota. Look at those everyday activities as opportunities to help you get fit and keep moving.

A. Schedule it.

B. Phone a friend.

C. It puts you at risk of injury, too.

D. There are health benefits to accumulating activity.

E. Here are some tips for you to begin and be motivated.

F. You can also stand up from your desk and do a set of squats (深蹲).

G. High-intensity interval training can be great for beginners, including overweight people.

They are Mary E. Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell from America, and Shimon Sakaguchi from Japan. They find a special kind of cell (细胞). These cells are like the "police" in our body. They help the system know "us" and stop it from fighting us. This is very important. Without these "police" cells, our body may get ill.

A long time ago, people think this system only works in one place in our body. But Shimon Sakaguchi does not think so. In 1995, he finds these "police" cells. He calls them regulatory T cells. At first, many people do not believe him. Then, in 2001, Mary E. Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell find a key gene (基因). They call it Foxp3. They find that if this gene is not good, people can get very ill. Two years later, Shimon Sakaguchi shows that this Foxp3 gene is very important for the "police" cells to work well.

The work of these three scientists helps many sick people. Now, doctors are thinking of new ways to help people with some long-time illnesses. They can use these "police" cells to make the body's system better. This can also help people after an organ transplant (器官移植). Their finding is a big change in how we see our body.

The first change is about the brain's ability to learn and remember. When we exercise, our heart sends more blood to the brain, carrying oxygen and important food. This helps the brain cells grow and become stronger. Scientists have found that a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory, gets larger in people who exercise often. This means these people may find it easier to learn new things and get higher scores on tests.

Besides a better memory, exercise is also a powerful way to improve our mood. During and after physical activity, the brain produces more "feel-good" chemicals. These natural brain chemicals help to reduce feelings of worry and stress. You don't need to run a long way to get the result. Even a short walk or some simple sports can make you feel more relaxed and happy.

So, how can you add more exercise to your life? You don't have to be an athlete. The key is to find an activity you enjoy. It could be walking or riding a bike to school, joining a dance club, or just playing ball games with friends in the park. Try to be active for at least 30 minutes most days.

In short, exercise is not just about building a healthy body. It is also one of the most effective ways to build a healthier, happier, and smarter brain. Next time when you need a break from study, perhaps going out for some exercise is the best choice.

Collecting As a Hobby

Collecting must be one of the most varied of human activities, and it's one that many psychologists find fascinating.

Some people collect because they want to make money. This could be called an instrumental reason for collecting. They'll look for, say, antiques that they can buy cheaply and expect to sell at a profit. But there may well be a psychological element, too—buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of achievement.

Another motive for collecting is the desire to find something special. Some may spend their whole lives in a hunt for this. Psychologically, this can give a purpose to a life that otherwise feels aimless. There is a danger, though, that if the individual is ever lucky enough to find what they're looking for, rather than celebrating their success, they may feel empty, now that the goal that drove them on has gone.

If you think about collecting postage stamps, another potential reason is its educational value. Stamp collecting opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps. In the past, and nowadays, too, a popular form of collecting, was trainspotting. This might involve trying to see every locomotive (火车头) of a particular type, using published data that identify each one, and ticking off each engine as it is seen. As a by-product, many train spotters become very knowledgeable about railway operations, or the technical specifications of different engine types.

Not all collectors are interested in learning from their hobbies. Some people collect because of the need for a sense of control. Stamp collectors, for instance, arrange their stamps in albums very neatly according to their preferred principles.

All hobbies give pleasure, but the common factor in collecting is usually passion. Collecting can be totally appealing, and can give a strong sense of personal achievement. To non-collectors it may appear a strange way of spending time, but potentially, collecting has a lot going for it.

Ship cats are not a recent phenomenon. They have been serving on ships for almost as long as humans have been going to sea. Ancient Egyptians depicted them hunting from boats sailing down the Nile.

Cats' hunting skills on land made them valuable companions at sea. Rats and mice caused major problems on ships. Cats were a cheap and effective solution to these problems — and they were also good company. On long voyages, they could provide a vessel's crew with affection and softness in the harsh environment of a ship.

Not surprisingly, sailors developed plenty of beliefs around cat behavior. Seamen preparing to sail considered it good luck when cats chose to board their vessels. An even worse omen (预兆)? The sight of two cats fighting on a pier could be forewarning that those setting sail would die.

Though cats are known for their dislikes to water, their biology makes them surprisingly suited to life at sea. Unlike human sailors who drank lemon juice to prevent scurvy, cats can make their own vitamin C. Cats are also able to obtain most of the water they need from their prey, so they do not require a lot of potable water as human sailors do.

The long run of the ship cat was ended by stricter international quarantine laws imposed. Many countries required a lengthy quarantine period for disembarking cats. If local officials caught one sneaking off a ship, the captain could be fined or even placed under arrest.

A. But it was a dreadful sign indeed when a cat decided to jump ship.

B. Therefore, they can survive on a diet that lacks fruits and vegetables.

C. They polluted and consumed food, chewed through equipment, and spread disease.

D. And the cats made their way across the Mediterranean aboard Greek trading vessels.

E. And in the UK, the cats supplied to the Royal Navy even received a weekly allowance.

F. Since the beginning of the WWII, however, most navies of the world have adopted a similar policy.

G. However, following the end of the WWII, the special position that cats held on Navy ships began to decline.

Of course, artists themselves contributed to this myth. "Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some paranormal power." Whole movements of art have centered on the supposedly otherworldly nature of art. For example, the Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and divine themes in their works.

Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct.

But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton's major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜), Newton found that white light is actually composed of all the colors of the rainbow. He even provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had taken a beautiful and magical experience and reduced it to the simple refraction of beams of light through the prism of a raindrop. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory.

More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by "unweaving the rainbow." His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. He also gave the world another opportunity to experience the sublime (绝妙的东西). Newton's discovery paved the way for the development of the science of spectroscopy (光谱学), a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars.

But the "Age of Authenticity" does not seem to have made us happier. Quite the reverse. One possible explanation for this paradox is that the lowering of self-control is an understandable but significant error in our collective thinking, and it takes us in exactly the wrong direction where happiness is concerned. Understanding how this happened can help you be happier in your own life.

From a psychological perspective, two brain systems govern self-management: the behavioral activation system, which drives reward-seeking, and the behavioral inhibition system, which avoids punishment. When activation rises or inhibition falls, self-control decreases; when inhibition rises or activation falls, self-control increases.

So which combination makes us happier overall — more of the behavioral activation system and less of the behavioral inhibition system, or the other way around? The answer is both. A team of eight psychologists showed this in a 2018 study on self-control in the Journal of Personality. The team fielded a series of undergraduate surveys. The researchers found that low levels of self-control were associated with the lowest levels of subjective well-being. Moving to a higher level of self-control increased the undergraduates' happiness. Interestingly, the researchers also discovered a complete lack of self-control was associated with slightly higher momentary well-being, which might lead to negative social consequences for others.

For your own well-being, and everyone's, increasing self-control might be much better than lowering it. If you want to increase your self-control, be aware of the forces around you that may lower the activity of the inhibition system in your brain and thus push you toward lower self-control, such as anonymity (匿名), and social power. If you're seeking to boost your self-control, shun any social media forum where your identity is hidden. If you possess an ability to publish material that many other people will read, see, or hear, you should ask yourself whether your desire to attract and retain an audience is leading you to abandon your privacy.

Aristotle once wrote that "virtues are formed in a man by his doing the actions." One important choice we have is to behave with either controlled grace or uncontrolled entitlement. Neither option is in reality more authentic than the other because, in becoming who we are through our choices, both paths are equally authentic; both embody who we've chosen to be as people. But only one path, that of controlled grace, leads to greater happiness for one and all.

"Are you doing that because it's National Stuttering Awareness Day?" I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: "So your stutter has magically disappeared?" I paused. I understood why he assumed this — I sounded quite fluent. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that's why I'd misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with.

Data shows four percent of all children stutter, while only one percent of them stutter into adulthood-a 75 percent drop. But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? Actually, though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, informing the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world.

Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There's no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no "recovering" from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. Some researchers have begun to argue that treatment for stutter shouldn't be centered around removing a person's stutter, but rather on reducing one's negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it.

As for me, I'd say that my stutter has not "magically disappeared" because I've simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I decided to tell the man, who was still looking at me hopefully: "______."

Over the past decade, campaigners, supported by environmental studies, (encourage) us to buy local foods. This reduces "food miles," refers to the distance food travels from producer to retailer. They argue that the higher the food miles, the greater the carbon emissions. Therefore, buying local food has a (low) carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the truth is more complex. We trust consider the entire farming process, including factors like fertilization and irrigation, not merely transportation.

In the quiet corner of the animal clinic, Dr. Emily Carter knelt beside Thunder, a rescue dog with a badly injured leg. (ease) his pain, she reached for a small jar containing a thick paste — a mixture made from Angelica sinensis (当归). "This is ancient wisdom meets modern care," she murmured, carefully applying the herbal remedy Thunder's wound. Day by day, her coworkers, (shock) by Thunder's rapid recovery, fell silent. Their initial skepticism was drowned by the amazing results.

My wallet tells the whole story of China's payment revolution. When I left the U. S. for Beijing in late 2008, my wallet (pack) with cash and credit cards. Back then, hailing a taxi or buying groceries meant counting bills or swiping cards. Today, my smartphone (handle) everything — from scanning QR codes at street markets to sharing restaurant bills, even (pay) rent. China's transformation into a cashless society hasn't just altered daily life here; it's redefining global standards for digital payments.

I asked Joe what he wanted to see. I would never6 his response: "I would not mind finding a swing set (秋千)." That's when it7 me that while I thought I knew every inch of my college town, I had no idea8 to look.

9, I remembered the Venable Elementary School, something I'd10 countless times but never really noticed. We parked in the lot, empty on a Saturday, and I11 my son and watched him delightedly swing back and forth.

What did I learn on that trip? First, travel is great fun and often leads to12. But maybe greater happiness is just around the corner. Second, do not rely too much on your13. Do your best but stay14, and always remember what John Lennon said: Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans. Third, there is always a new way to15 things, no matter how much you think you know.
