Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming.

It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry.

The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field.

Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices.

A. Vertical farming has a rich history.

B. One solution is indoor vertical farming.

C. The practice isn't as simple as it sounds.

D. Most vertical farms can grow all year round.

E. That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon.

F. Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides.

G. This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts.

But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. "Who can I look up to?" I wondered. "Who can I learn from?" I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I'd meet these women, but their success gave me hope.

Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn't have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day!

That was in 2022. We've spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They're rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here's the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn't the only one excited. Vicky was excited too-because she's always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I'd thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I'd gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.

I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We're all here to help each other grow.

Holiday World

It is a family park in the sense that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that other parks often can't match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, so parents appreciate the park's family-friendly policy of free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.

Lake Compounce

Lake Compounce, being one of America's more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it fell on hard times and was in danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company came to its rescue with huge infusions (注入) of cash. The transformed park with its new rides is attracting many new fans.

Knott's Berry Farm

As one of America's favourite theme parks, Knott's has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, Ghost Rider or the Xcelerator. Ghost Rider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something a little less exciting, go to Camp Snoopy or visit the heart of Knott's, Ghost Town, for a glance (一瞥) of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings — many transported from mining towns — Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.

Islands of Adventure

In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure (IOA) is divided into themed "lands". Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions guaranteed (保证) to set the heart racing. Its roller coasters are state-of-the-art fun. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven't truly lived until you've experienced The Incredible Hulk's wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that's flying out of control.

An exhibition at the Xi'an Beilin Museum is showing Chinese calligraphy (书法), has been regarded as both an art and a way to build character for (century).

Calligraphy is one of most valued cultural treasures in China, showing not only skill but also personality.

"At the exhibition, we hope (show) how old handwriting can come alive with digital technology," said a guide. "Visitors can see ancient stones beside modern screens, clearly showing the mix of tradition and innovation, and bringing new inspiration."

For thousands of years, handwriting (consider) as a way to record history and improve one's mind. Today, many of these works, kept through digital scanning and 3D modeling, regularly appear in online exhibitions. They are now open people everywhere, sometimes just by (click) a mouse.

Some coworkers told me, "You know what? I just feel more at3 when I watch these little guys." Before long, the caterpillars formed bright green chrysalises (蛹). At first I thought they had4, but then I saw movement — the butterflies were coming out. It was5.

That gave me an idea: Why not build a small butterfly house? Surprisingly, the toughest men I knew started asking me, "When will you6 the butterflies?" On the special day, over a hundred people7 to watch. We expected a wild flutter (飞舞), but instead the butterflies moved8. People stretched out their hands, and when a butterfly landed, they felt the most delicate little9.

The joy was unforgettable. The next year, we raised 120 monarchs. Last year, 350. This year we hope for more than 600. Looking back, I don't just remember the numbers; I remember how this project10 all of us.

For me, the most important thing wasn't the job itself but the people. I wanted them to know I11 about them. Watching the butterflies reminded me that life isn't only about getting things done. It's also about12 change and growth.

Like the monarchs, we also go through stages. From struggle to strength, from fear to hope, each of us can13 into something new. The process is slow, but the result is14. Just as the butterflies15 the sky, we also find freedom in transformation.

The English language is spoken by millions of people worldwide and is famous for its many curiosities. From unusual spelling rules to surprising vocabulary, it offers learners both fun and challenges.

Hundreds of new words are added to dictionaries every year. In 2020 alone, more than 500 were included in Merriam-Webster. This shows that language grows together with them.

Letters also play curious roles. "E" is by far the most common, appearing in about 11% of all words. It occurs in "the," the most used word, and in verbs like "be." With so many appearances, it is naturally the most typed letter on keyboards.

Pronunciation brings even greater challenges. The combination "ough," for example, can be pronounced in ten different ways. In one sentence——"A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough"——all of them appear. These irregularities remind learners that English spelling has never been fully unified.

Culture adds more surprises. The United States, for instance, has never declared English its official national language, even though it dominates daily life.This shows that a language's influence depends more on practice than on law.

English continues to evolve. Dictionaries expand every year, old words gain new meanings, and learners everywhere adapt to its changes.

A. That is why "E" is called the king of letters.

B. Such a fact may surprise many language learners.

C. This mix of rules and exceptions puzzles learners.

D. The letter "E" is mainly used in specific writing.

E. These examples show how English language affects culture.

F. New words often reflect culture, science, and technology.

G. As a result, English stays one of the most active languages in history.

In Amazonas alone, about 15 million hectares of forest have thus been protected. The costs are low, but the benefits are great: Fish numbers have gone up again, and animals such as giant otters, manatees, and Amazon river turtles have also increased. These achievements highlight the special strengths of local people. Permanently present in these landscapes, they have the strongest interest and ability to keep resources safe, becoming the "unsung heroes" of conservation. The model also shows a good mix of scientific knowledge and traditional practice: while protecting biodiversity (生物多样性), it also increases family income through sustainable harvests.

However, there are challenges. At present, all the costs are dealt with by the volunteer watch groups themselves. Depending only on unpaid work cannot last long. To solve this, systems such as Payments for Environmental Services (PES) should be used so that communities can be properly paid.

The researchers urge greater recognition and financial support from governments and civil society. Supporting community-based conservation is not only an ecological necessity but also a matter of social justice (公平). By empowering those already engaged in frontline conservation, society can safeguard biodiversity, strengthen local economies, and ensure a better future for the next generations.
