Max reached a workplace for his inaugural interview. He had previously resided with his parents. He was exasperated by his parents' reproaches for every minor action he took at home.

While awaiting the interview, he pondered, "Only if I achieve success in today's interview will I bid farewell to my parents' abode and establish myself in the sprawling metropolis, which will enable me to evade the constant barrage of my parents' complaints about trivial matters." He began to reminisce about the minor issues his parents used to berate him for — How his mother would request him to make his bed after he awoke. If he left the bathroom door ajar, his mother would demand that he close the door and, prior to that, ensure that the faucet was properly turned off. How his father would insist that he switch off the fan or light switch before he departed. How his mother would perpetually blame him for not placing items in their designated spots.

While contemplating all these matters, he questioned, "Why should I heed their utterances? Why should I comply with all these demands? If I secure employment, I shall assuredly depart from their domicile." As he glanced around, Max observed that numerous candidates were seated in the office. He noticed that the light in the office was still illuminated and it was ten o'clock in the morning. Recalling his father's admonitions, he rose and switched off the light. When he espied water dripping from the water cooler situated in the office, he proceeded to properly turn off the tap.

It was the moment to ascend to the second floor for the interview, and everyone proceeded upstairs in sequence. On the way up the staircase, a chair was positioned in the path, and the other candidates circumvented it, but Max removed it, placed it aside, and continued on to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he observed the candidates preceding him entering and exiting swiftly. After conversing with these individuals, he discovered that the interviewers had not posed any questions to them.

More than a dozen international students could not hide their excitement the hot weather, after completing a three-hour bike ride along the central axis(中轴线) of Beijing, each rushing to high-five their team leader.

At a session in India in late July, 2024, the UNESCO listed the 700-year-old Beijing Central Axis, (refer) to as the "spine of the city's culture", on the World Heritage List. The Beijing Central Axis, the best-preserved example of traditional central axis architecture in China, extending 7. 8 km from Yongding Gate in the south to the Bell and Drum Towers in the north. (true) amazed by the historic architecture along the central axis, "This journey has been so (impress)," said Callum Deighton, a student from the University of York, Britain. He was among a group of students from different countries that joined a cycling course offered by the Peking University Summer School International 2024. During one-month course in July, students had the opportunity (gain) cycling knowledge and skills, while joining cycle tours to explore the ancient beauty of Beijing.

Lu Fuquan, their team leader and instructor from Peking University, has been a cycling enthusiast for many years, is also fond of Beijing's historical and cultural heritage. He has planned six cycling routes for the course led students on a two-wheeled exploration of the ancient capital.

Recently, the course (attract) 130 international students, including those Britain, France, Canada, Australia, Japan and Singapore.

For every trustworthy website, there is tons of information that's inaccurate, unreliable or just crazy. For the inexperienced journalist or researcher, such sites can 1 a wide range of possible problems. With that in mind, here are five ways to tell if a website is 2.

● Look for Established Institutions

The internet is full of websites that were 3 five minutes ago. What you want are sites associated with 4 institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organization or universities.

● Consult Sites with Expertise (专门知识)

You wouldn't go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point: 5 websites that specialize in the kind of information you're seeking. 6, if you're writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites, such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

● 7 Commercial Sites

Sites run by companies and business—their websites usually end in. com—are often trying to sell you something. And if they're trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they're presenting will be tilted (偏向) 8 their product. That's not to say commercial sites should be 9 entirely. But be cautious.

● Check the 10

As a reporter, you need the most up-to-date information available, so if a website seems old, it's probably best to keep distance from it. One way to check: Look for a "last 11" date on the page or site.

● Check the Links

Respected 12 often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you're researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. Enter the following text into the Google search field, 13 "[WEBSITE]" with the domain (域名) of the site you're researching: link: http://www.[WEBSITE].com. For example, link: http://www.baidu.com.

The search 14 will show you which websites link to the one you're researching. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that's a good 15. Then it seems that you don't need to worry about them too much

"Compared with traditional search engines like Google, TikTok's powerful algorithm and visual presentation are what I love the most," said a20-year-old girl Dana from the Czech Republic.

Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. "All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly," said Dana.

"On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt," said Dana, adding that a written review of a restaurant can't capture its sense of atmosphere, food or drinks.

Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. "Nevertheless, when forming my personal opinion on heated topics, I prefer to use Google to gather more information from reputable media sources and organizations," she added.

Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos.

"Even if people aren't interested in, say, TikTok, I think what we are going to start to see is more visual during online searches," Sheares told ABC News.

A. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to Google.

B. Young people like to try Internet-famous restaurants.

C. TikTok's funny videos also make some kids addicted.

D. He formed a Gen Z focus group to discuss their searching habits.

E. But TikTok's personalized videos helped her out of the situation.

F. Being able to see scenes of real people also makes Dana feel trust in them.

G. Now, it has become one of the biggest search engines among young people.

"We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish'," says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.

The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.

A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.

The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.

But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn't expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction's highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It's the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.

In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917—2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke's 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.

"My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea," Liu said. "That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe."

But no matter how far away Liu's imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on "hard science". Liu's works aren't simply daydreams.

One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a "career aptitude (才能) test". There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios (场景), like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest — and don't worry — there are no right or wrong answers.

One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant's overall work personality. This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions.

The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level, but you can look at higher-level careers as well, which is very useful for high school students. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like toaim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there.

In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now!

Mrs Arlene usually woke up early on weekends to tidy up the house and make breakfast for her son, Allen. But the house was unusually quiet today. The worried boy rolled down the bed and went to knock on her door.

"Mom, are you all right?" Allen asked anxiously.

"Sweetheart," Mom replied weakly. "I'm afraid I've got a bad cold. Could you make breakfast for yourself and watch cartoons while I stay in bed?"

"Take it easy, Mom," Allen said. "I'm a big boy now. I can take care of myself!"

Allen went to the kitchen and found the instant noodles. He put them in two bowls and poured enough boiling water over them. After about two minutes, he returned to Mom's bedroom with the noodles.

Mom tried the noodles and said cheerfully. "It is so delicious! My boy is a better cook than me!"

Encouraged by Mom's words, Allen decided to give Mom a bigger surprise: to do the laundry. When Allen was a little boy, he had enjoyed watching Mom do laundry. But he had never been allowed to do it, since Mom was worried that he might mess things up.

Allen went to the bathroom to get the laundry basket, in which his mother's favorite white night gown (睡衣) was mixed with other clothes and a pair of red socks. He put all of them inside the washing machine. Before he closed the door and pressed the big button"START"， he put in some washing powder.

"It is so easy," Allen said with pride after the machine started to spin.

Allen was watching cartoons when he heard the washing machine send out an alarm, indicating that the laundry was finished. He opened the door and took out the clothes one by one. Each of them looked clean. But when he pulled out a pink dress, he immediately realized that he had messed things up: The white gown had been turned into a pink one by the socks!

back in my seat, I'm so excited that I'm about to travel along the railway that was called "impossible" by many foreign experts. The train runs fast and across the "roof of the world".

It took years to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which is a record of all Chinese people's efforts to the most difficult challenges. The first to catch my eye is the Qingshuihe Bridge. To damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges were built between Golmud and Lhasa. at over 5,000 metres above sea level, Tanggula Station is the highest railway station in the world. Several oxygen-making stations were to make people stay healthy. As we pass Cuona Lake, a sense of pride and wells up in my heart.Along the lake we built a twenty-kilometre wall to the lake from construction waste.

I'm proud that we built our "impossible" railway. It truly is an "Sky Railway".

When you come across such sudden callers, you are 4 to sense it as an action of intruding (入侵) into your comfort zone, or you might 5 it as a lovely shining moment of life. We6 — the second option, with no hesitation. After all, we've never stopped feeling urgent to strengthen the relationship with our sparrows more and more each day.

We can't stop 7 and celebrating their dance from our window. We fed them with the 8 on our tablecloth after every meal. And we have 9 them with every kind of bases and stands on our terrace (露台).

10, they feel at ease in our backyard. And that has led them to11 courage to slip into our house. Perhaps because they have the feeling that we don't consider them 12, but friendly neighbors, who only leave some wastes from time to time.

The presence of our dear sparrow holds magical consistency with real life. And we've been having lovely sparrows coming over lately, whose presence draws us out of our dull daily routines and13 the hidden beauty and charm.

Like different human beings, these sparrows often take different forms. We've met sparrows like those, of all shapes and colors. And they're everywhere. Perhaps all of them are willing to draw our14  making us know they are there. They only ask from us not to be afraid of them or feel uneasy to their15.
