Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn't completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning. As the next three floors were added, builders purposefully built them with one side higher than the other to try to correct the lean. This resulted in the tower leaning in the opposite direction

Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over. For hundreds of years, the tower was indeed falling. It would lean one more inch about every 20 years. In the end, in 1990, it was closed to the public for fear that a large group of people at the top would weigh enough to make it fall down.

From 1990 to 2001, engineers from around the world helped balance the tower After several unsuccessful attempts at a solution, engineers finally came up with a plan that worked. They slowly removed ground under the high side of the tower. When they had finished, they had returned it to the position it held in about 1838—the tower had been straightened by nearly 16 inches. Except a sudden great disaster, such as a earthquake, engineers believe the tower is safe for another 300 years now.

We have had our share of storms in the past years — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren't fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear.

Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don't forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand.

We're ready for the next storm, but we wouldn't have learned to do all those things if we hadn't encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons.

Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready, not when the storm arrives.

The letter reads, "Good afternoon. This letter is regarding your vocation two weeks ago and how you let me take care of your dogs. I'd just like to give you a letter of thanks. As you know, I'm a lonely old man without a wife or a kid. To add to that, two years ago, my dad died of cancer. After his death, I was left alone in my home. You don't see me outside often anymore. Every day was spent just sitting around and wondering what I have done for this world until I met Smokey, Oreo and Jennifer. Your pets are the cutest, funniest and most troublesome (in a good way, don't worry) individuals. They gave me the motivation to restart my life again. I started waking up early in the mornings. I began to take walks outside with your pets for the first time in years. Whenever I felt sad, they would bark or rub against my leg and make me laugh. The highlight of their stay was when I took them to the park. It was the longest time I've spent outside in a while. It didn't just bring back pet interaction; I also met other people, started talking and made some friends. I was so happy to finally be able to interact with others again, and feel like I'm part of the human race. Anyway, thank you so much. You brought back meaning to my life. That's all that matters."

Many Reddit users felt emotional reading the letter and shared their responses online. One commented, "We all get busy with our lives and don't realize the power a small act of kindness can do."

Mount Teide

Mount Teide, a famous volcano, is the tallest peak (峰) in Spain and a UNESCO world heritage site. Several routes can lead one to the peak of Mount Teide. While permits are required to hike the mountain, you can have an easier choice—an eight-minute cable car (缆车) that takes you far enough up the top for appreciating views. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and a jacket as it can get cold.

Siam Park

The famous Siam Park was named as the best water park in the world for the second year in a row. You can visit the park at any time of the year, as the pools are heated to a comfortable 24 Celsius. Be sure to choose a sunny day for your visit if you're heading over in winter.

Casa de Los Balcones

A visit to the Casa de Los Balcones might be a great idea if you're looking for a first class cultural adventure. It's a 17th century house with fine carved wooden balconies. The inside has a typical patio (露台) that shows the islands' handmade traditions.

Playa de Benijo

Playa de Benijo is one of the fascinating beaches in Tenerife. The surface is a large area of black sand with rocky areas mixed in between.

Chinese characters are so (amaze) that even many foreigners are crazy about them. In the past three decades, Richard Sears (focus) on one thing: telling many stories behind Chinese characters. His interest in Chinese language and characters dates back to 1972. He built a website in 2002 and named it Chinese Etymology (词源), provides visitors with opportunities to check the development of Chinese characters in a variety of forms for free. Because of this well-received website, he became Uncle Hanzi, a nickname (昵称) which (give) by Chinese netizens.

In September, Sears set up (he) studio in Nanjing as part of the local government's plan to promote Chinese culture. (help) both Chinese and foreign learners have a better understanding of Chinese characters, the studio tells stories behind Chinese characters the aid of technology. They have made over 60 videos in English with Chinese subtitles for Bilibili, a popular video website among young people.

(watch) the videos not only brings fun but also makes people know more about Chinese characters, leaving them a deep (impress). With the tireless efforts of people like Richard Sears and the government's support, more people will appreciate the beauty of Chinese characters (full).

Then, last February, I was invited by my friends to go6 in Colorado. My first response was to7. I didn't want to get on a plane, fasten sticks on my feet or slide down a mountain. The mere thought of meeting new people8 me. But I had a sense that this journey might be the brilliant sunlight I9 needed. I finally agreed.

The first day, I was10 with Peter, an experienced coach. He sensed my fear, patiently removing it with a smile and jokes. I was absolutely terrified of11 myself, but his gentle encouragement kept me going. Then he said something that made me nod in recognition, "Jill, fear12 everything." Peter was talking about skiing, about how your muscles13 when you are afraid, often causing you to fall. And it's particularly true in life as well. When you permit fear to prevent you from doing what you love, life stops. With Peter's words in mind, I kept practicing.

By the end of the day, I'd improved enough to fly down hills that had scared me, a bright smile on my face and tears in my eyes. Tears were not from the cold but from14. I'd faced my fears on the mountain, and I knew15 the rest wouldn't be far behind.

Plan ahead and prepare. Arranging an-outdoor activity is necessary for leaving no trace and it makes the trip more enjoyable.. For example, if you weren't prepared for rain while camping, you might need to construct a structure out of natural materials, thereby impacting the landscape.

Leave what you find. Allow others a sense of discovery, and preserve (保护) the past. Leave rocks, plants, animals, and other objects as you find them. You especially shouldn't touch or move native species away from the location, or you may possibly harm their habitats or spread them to non-native locations.

Respect wildlife. Quick movements and loud noises cause stress for animals. They observe wildlife distantly to avoid disturbing (打扰) them. Keep garbage and food away from animals so they will not develop bad habits. They know the importance of keeping wildlife wild.

. Pack it in; pack it out. This simple yet effective saying encourages visitors to take their rubbish home with them. It makes sense to carry out of the wilderness the extra materials taken there by your group or others. Examine your campsite and accept the challenge of packing out all the rubbish and leftover food.

A. Deal with waste properly.

B. Take care of other visitors.

C. They drive animals sway from their habitats.

D. Thoughtful campers usually know the do's and don'ts well.

E. Leave nature be and take photos or appreciate it in the distance.

F. Poor planning may cause unexpected damage to the environment.

G. Thousands of such cases, however, affect the outdoor experience for all.

With the 2024 Olympics Games underway in Paris, new environmental efforts are coming into play. Observers will sit on chairs made of plastic recycled from local bins. This decision was made due to a lack of unused raw materials to make new seats, so the eco-construction firm Le Pave turned to make the seats out of waste. Around 11,000 seats will be made from recycled materials.

The plastic collection for Paris 2024 has been carried out in the region's schools, and over five million coloured bottle caps have been recovered. Moreover, 80% of the 100 tons of recycled plastic needed to make the seats come from the yellow bins collections. This is all part of the Paris 2024 "zero waste" strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular (循环的) economy.

The Olympic Games organizers are planning to make the Paris 2024 Games the greenest Olympic Games yet. They intend to employ acarbon-neutral approach that will reduce the climate impact of the Games by avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions and encouraging others to get involved. The Summer Games have emitted 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions in previous years. The Paris 2024 Games has set a carbon budget of 1.5 million tons which includes the emissions from construction, transportation and operations of the Games.

These plans are ambitious but are achievable. If Paris 2024 successfully reduces emissions and promotes a circular economy, it might set the standard for future Olympic and Paralympic Games, regardless of where they are held.

The machine uses cameras and sensors (传感器) to sense its environment. It is able to recognize (辨认出) traffic lights which traditional guide dogs are unable to recognize. The robot can communicate by listening to and speaking with a blind person. The robot also uses artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize voices and plan ways to go from place to place.

The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider than a real dog. It has six legs instead of four because the researchers say the extra legsenhanceits safety, making its movements smoother.

41-year-old Li Fei and 42-year-old Zhu Sibin are among the people with eye problems who are helping the Jiao Tong University team. They are testing the dog using Chinese-language instructions and providing their feedback (反馈) for the researchers to further develop the dog.

Li is completely blind while Zhu has little eyesight. Li normally uses a walking stick to walk. He said, "If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone."

Robot guide dogs are also under development in Australia and Britain. But China needs a lot of traditional guide dogs. There are just over 400 guide dogs in China for nearly 20 million blind people.

Many workplaces, restaurants and public areas do not welcome a usual guide dog like a Labrador. The supply of real dogs is limited (限制) by feeding and training needs. The production of robot guide dogs could be increased to an industrial level, especially in a center of making industry like China. The researchers think there could be a large market for robot dogs as there might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs.

But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. "When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.'" he said. "So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away."

Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38.

"I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself." he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym.

And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics.

For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. "There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good," he said. "And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins."
