A large tomb dating back approximately 5,000 years was discovered at the Wangzhuang ruins in the city of Yongcheng, Central China's Henan Province, providing new sample for studying the critical period of the origins of Chinese civilization, Dawenkou culture period (4300 BC-2500 BC), a culture of the late Neolithic Age.

It is reported that 45 Dawenkou culture tombs were newly discovered at the Wangzhuang site, 27 of have already been excavated. Some of these tombs appear(belong) to high-ranking officials, presenting a number of valuable artifacts and pig jawbones representing wealth and making it one of the (large) and most artifact-rich tombs found from the Dawenkou culture.

It is interesting to note that the tomb was(intentional) damaged by ancient enemy forces. Only a small number of human bones were found in the tomb, with no complete human skeleton (discover). This discovery provides new evidence for the development trace in ancient kingdoms across various regions during the (form) of Chinese civilization around 5,000 years ago.

So far, the Wangzhuang site has yielded over 1,000 artifacts. Based the shapes of the findings, the cultural characteristics of the site are complex, with the main(remain) belonging to the Dawenkou culture.

Currently, the excavation of the site is still underway. The cultural relics unearthed from the tomb have now been cleaned up, and the next step (be) to extract (提取) them for more detailed research.

Set concrete academic goals. If you just want to "do better" in school, does that mean an A? Or a B? Are you just trying to pass? Sit down and set specific benchmarks for yourself. You might say you want to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, or that you want to get at least an A — in history this year.

Study efficiently. Avoid cramming and focus on creating your own understanding. It's easy to just sit in front of your book and read passively without really absorbing the information. If you find it most efficient to focus on one subject at a time, do that. If bouncing between a few similar subjects helps you stay on task, that's fine, too.

This will help you commit the material to memory. It's better to spend 10-15 minutes studying every night than to try and stuff everything into one study session the night before the big test. Research has shown that stuffing is one of the least efficient ways to prepare for a test, so avoid it at all costs.

Take care of your body. Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. You cannot stay motivated if you're so physically under the weather that your body can't focus. Get 8 hours of sleep — especially on school nights.

A. Stay focused with mindfulness tricks.

B. Study in a way that makes the most sense to you.

C. It's easier to stay motivated if you have specific goals.

D. Review everything you learned at the end of each study session.

E. It's a lot easier to stay motivated if you know you're going to relax eventually.

F. Eat a diverse, healthy diet and get plenty of physical activity to ensure you' re in tip-top shape.

G. You're not alone, but doing well in school will set you up to have the life you want down the road.

In a new review article published in Translational Psychiatry, researchers propose a novel assumption to understand the antidepressant effects of exercise. They believe that the process may hinge on motivation, which is very important for relieving a number of symptoms of depression, such as anhedonia (a lack of interest or joy in life's experiences), low energy and "brain fog".

The team summarised research papers exploring the mechanisms (机制) of depression in both humans and animals and concluded that depression, especially anhedonia, is associated with increased inflammation (炎症) caused by the body's immune response. Importantly, inflammation is also linked to disrupting dopamine transmission. These biological changes may represent key processes leading to changes in motivation, and in particular a lower willingness to make physical or mental effort.

Meanwhile, exercise reduces inflammation, boosts dopamine function, and enhances motivation. The researchers believe that this could be an important reason as to why exercise has an antidepressant effect. The team hope that this understanding of how exercise reduces symptoms of depression will help to inform the development of new treatment strategies— such as personalised exercise programmes.

Dr Emily Hird (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) said, "Understanding the mechanisms behind the antidepressant effects of physical activity in depression could also inform our understanding of the mechanisms causing depression and the development of novel intervention strategies, in particular, personalised intervention, and social prescribing."

"It would be important to investigate any potential barrier to exercise," Dr Hird added. "Addressing barriers to exercise— particularly in people with depression— is crucial, as regular physical activity may be able to relieve symptoms, enhance mood and empower individuals on their path to recovery. As part of this, finding strategies to encourage exercise is key."

To investigate, researchers from INRAE and CNRS, France, filmed 18 female domestic chickens from two breeds, as they performed routine behaviors on a French farm. They also filmed the birds while being captured and held by a human, and while being rewarded with an appealing food.

The researchers analyzed the position of their facial feathers and the color of the exposed skin on their faces in seven contexts that differed in their emotional valence (效价) and level of excitement. For example, birds preen their feathers when they are relaxed and content, whereas receiving a rewarding food generally causes excitement and happiness, and being captured is an exciting but fearful experience.

The results suggested that the position of the head feathers and the color of the skin varied between contexts. Fluffing (抖松) head feathers were mainly associated with a state of contentment, whereas flushing indicated that the birds were positively excited or fearful.

The study is the first to investigate facial displays of emotion in chickens, and suggests that domestic hens use facial expressions to show their emotions, much like humans and other mammals do. These findings offer a window into the emotional experiences of domestic birds, which could be used to improve the welfare of farmed poultry (家禽), the researchers say.

The skin flushing on the face of the domestic birds is a window into their emotions. The intensity of the flushing varies within a few seconds depending on the emotional situations they experience, the researchers add.

In 1998, embracing the challenge with determination and a deep-seated desire to revive a crucial part of their country and family history, Sebastiāo and Lelia established the Instituto Terra, an environmental group dedicated to the sustainability of the Valley of the River Doce. It became a ship through which they would sail on a difficult journey to heal the land and in many ways, themselves.

The couple, along with their team, embarked on a journey to replant and rebuild the1,754-acre plot of land. Slowly, the barren desert that Sebastiāo returned to began to transform, was blossoming into the lush paradise that had once existed only in his memories.

Now, the region stands as a testament to what can be achieved with dedication and a dream. It is recognized as a Private Natural Heritage Reserve, a sanctuary where nature has been given the space and support to reclaim its rightful place.

The once-barren cattle farm is not only thriving but has also become a shelter for hundreds of species of animals and plants. The land, now vibrant and alive, hosts 293 species of trees, 172 species of birds, 33 species of mammals, and 15 species of reptiles and amphibians, many of which are endangered and have found a safe refuge in this refreshed environment.

Sebastiāo reflects on the transformation, sharing, "All the insects and birds and fish returned, and, thanks to this increase of the trees, I, too, was reborn— this was the most important moment."

Lucy opened her sleepy eyes and looked out of the window at the field below. "No!" she cried, now fully awake. Maya, the cow was in Mama's daisy patch (雏菊花田).

"I must have forgotten to close the gate last night," Lucy thought as she pulled a shirt over her head. Mama was planning to sell daisy bouquets (花束) at the fair next week. But Maya was eating the flowers.

Lucy hurried outside and grabbed (抓) the lead rope hanging on the door. "Why can't you stay in the field?" she called to Maya as she headed across the yard to the daisy patch. Maya didn't listen. She just stood in the patch eating the beautiful flowers. "When I grow up, I'll be an artist and paint pictures all day," Lucy thought. "I'll never own a cow. Too much trouble."

Just as Lucy was about to put the lead rope around Maya's neck, the family dog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. The cow couldn't stand Red. She took off, running through the daisies and across the yard. Lucy tried to stop Maya, but the cow was too fast. She finally ran through the open gate and into the field.

"Thank goodness!" Lucy said as she closed the gate and tightened the latch (插紧门闩). She turned to look at the flower garden. What a mess! Half of the daisies were either eaten or stepped on.

Hearing the noise, Mama came out of the house. "What's going on?" she asked. She looked sadly at her garden. "I forgot to lock the gate and Maya ran in," Lucy said. "I'm so sorry, Mama." "I know you are." Mama walked up to Lucy and gave her a hug (拥抱). "You learned an important lesson today."

Lucy's heart was heavy as she went back into the house. She had to think of a way to make it up to her mother. A painting on the wall caught Lucy's eye. "That's it," she smiled.

My brother is someone inspired (鼓舞) not only me but also everyone else he met. As an older brother, he seemed (know) everything. I could come to my brother with any issue or worry, and he would always know (exact) what to do.

My brother is very brilliant (聪颖的), and this was quite obvious at a very young age. He was (talent) in school from the very beginning. He was even able to master (精通) more than four languages. When I was younger, I (see) him only in the light of an older brother; however, as I grew older, our relationship developed into something more like best friends.

My brother inspired me to be (good) than the person I was yesterday. Because of him, I wish to go to university as he did. Because of him, I wish to inspire my little (brother) to be the best they can be, just as he did.

I think I'm very (luck) to have my brother as my best friend. He had a tremendous (巨大的) impact everyone he met. No matter where he is, his inspiration has always stayed with (I) and continuously pushes me to be the best I can be.

A few years after dropping out of college and getting married, she had two kids and thus was just busy with4, and that college diploma (文凭) seemed far away. Now a grandmother of 17, Joyce said while she didn't think much about returning to5, it was always a6. In 2019 when Joyce showed7 in the college education she left behind, things were much8 for her. With the help of her adult children, Joyce, who was too old to9, began taking online classes using a computer for the first time. In four years of taking classes, Joyce was on10 only once, when Northern Illinois University11 students doing well after the first semester.

Now, she will return in person to finish the12 that began nearly 70 years ago, with a13 for others, like her younger self. "Don't give up. Even if you do quit, go back," Joyce said. "It's there for you. Just14 it. Sometimes you get15 because it's taking so long, but there's light at the end of the tunnel."

Find the right place to study.

The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying. You should keep away from television sets and phone calls. Get all of your study materials together, so you will not be interrupted in the middle of your session.

Break down the tasks into smaller parts.

When you have gotten everything ready, list the items you need to study, and arrange them across several hours or days, depending on how big your load is. As a general rule, assign (分配) at least one hour to each subject. By doing this, you will be able to know more easily how long you need for each topic.

Schedule study breaks.

When you have listed all of your tasks and made a schedule, you should arrange study breaks. This will give your eyes some time to rest, and yourself a chance to go to the bathroom or have some coffee. Scheduled breaks will reduce the need for you to interrupt yourself to the lowest level during the study session.

Put your tasks in order of importance.

Just in case you run out of time to study, or if you think you do not have enough time to cover all topics, you should study in an order.

A. Each break may take about 15 minutes every two hours.

B. Learn to arrange the subjects in order of importance.

C. This means going to one place that will give you peace and quiet.

D. The key to efficient studying is following the schedule strictly.

E. You can find a way to test your knowledge by having a study partner.

F. If you have a broad subject, you will need to break it down into smaller parts.

G. To make the best use of your time, you need to learn how to study efficiently(高效地).

I thought back to his first day of kindergarten (幼儿园). How he ran in excitement to the bus as my heart broke, how his smiling face in the window caused my tears to flow. I thought about how hard it was to let go of his hand and let him fly on his own for the first time. But this time, I found it was even harder.

Kindergarten is paper and glue sticks. High school is computer projects and technology you don't understand. Kindergarten is Mother's Day gifts made with hand-prints. High school is a funny card and a "Love you, Ma." Kindergarten is emails to the teacher about his difficulty with math. High school is depending on him to ask for help in class. Kindergarten is afternoons at the park. High school is keys to the car. Kindergarten is excited talk about his day. High school is just "My day was fine, Ma."

Kindergarten is the beginning. High school is the beginning of the end. You know that your time with him at home will become less and less. The moments where your family will always feel complete at the end of the day are coming to an end. I've raised him to leave us. I've raised him to be independent (独立的), and I'm watching him pull away, one day at a time.

As I watched him board the bus to high school, my eyes filled with tears again and my heart ached more deeply than it did on his first day of kindergarten. The bus pulled away, and my eyes met his. He gave a quick wave (挥手) and mouthed, "Love you." And then he made a silly face, and he wanted his mom to go back into the house now and set her mind at rest. I waved back and laughed. High school, here we come.

Different views are held on the exact origin (起源) of the English saying "cat's whiskers". Some believe that the term, along with the similar "cat's meow", has its origin in girls' boarding schools of the 19th century. Others believe that the term was first brought to life by Thomas Dorgan, an artist who was active during the early years of the 20th century. What is generally agreed is that by the 1920s, both "cat's whiskers" and "cat's meow" were often used in the United States, and commonly used as a term among young people of college age.

Unlike other sayings that may sometimes carry positive or negative meanings depending on the setting, "cat's whiskers" is always used in a positive way. An employer (雇主) may use the term to refer to an employee who produces wonderful work. Proud parents may say this to their children when they perform well in a school play or win some type of competition. In each situation, "cat's whiskers" is used to show warm feelings for another person.

While not used as commonly as before, being the cat's whiskers is still generally understood to be a good thing. Younger people may sometimes have to receive an explanation of what the term means, which can lead to seeing the use of the saying in a funny way. Even those who consider the saying to be outdated and not worthy of use in public may still use the term to show love and respect in private settings.

However, I was soon to learn that "I can't" was not a choice in Mr. A's class.

Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, "Welcome! Smile! It's a great day to be alive!" It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the "I can't" student.

I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A's presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became "cool" to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn't know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).

Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn't become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, "Kate, smile! It's a great day to be alive!"

I really suggest being kind and outgoing. It is better to be really social and introduce yourself. You won't get any where being shy.

Your weight really doesn't matter. If you're really that uncomfortable with it, try working out.

Don't worry about your weight, and don't let it get you down. "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

Remember that. Concentrate on schoolwork. Be nice, polite, and stay strong. Don't wear the ‘in' clothes just because everybody else does. Wear clothes for YOU. Try babydoll tops and flats; they're very nice and work for almost all body types (类型).

Take it from me, the best thing for you to do is be nice to everyone. If someone isn't nice to you, don't take it personally. Try out for sports and clubs, and you'll soon make new friends.

Don't be nervous at all! Try keeping a smile on your face at school and keeping eye contact (目光接触) while talking to others. Say hi to as many people every day as long as it feels comfortable for you.
