One warm Saturday afternoon, Ella looked out the back door window, wishing she could play on her favorite swing (秋千) in the backyard. She hadn't played there for a whole week because a bee had stung her, and the memory still made her heart race. She took a deep breath and finally opened the door, ready to face her fear. As soon as she stepped outside, a big bumblebee (大黄蜂), even bigger than her thumb, appeared. Its yellow and black body was covered with soft, fuzzy hair that shone in the sunlight, and its wings made a low humming sound as it hovered near the flowers.

Ella stepped outside carefully, holding her breath and hoping the bee wouldn't notice her. After just three steps, the bee flew straight toward her. It moved quickly but didn't seem aggressive. It hovered in the air right in front of her nose, only a few inches away.

Ella's heart beat fast. She stepped back and crouched down. "Please, don't sting (蛰) me!" she cried. Ella wanted to run, but her legs wouldn't move.

To her astonishment, the bee replied, "I am a guard bee."

Ella was so surprised that the bee could speak that she momentarily forgot her fear. "What are you guarding?" she asked cautiously. "I just want to play on my swing."

The bumblebee hovered around Ella's head and said, "I'm not stopping you from going anywhere. I'm here to guard you."

Ella wasn't convinced. "Last week, a bee stung me for no reason. I really wish you wouldn't follow me. What if you hurt me by accident?" she said, with her uneasy eyes fixed on the insect.

"That must have been a terrible mistake." the bee said, landing on a nearby leaf. "We only sting when we feel truly threatened. I promise. I'm here to protect you. not to harm you."

Barby Keel, a 90-year-old woman from Sussex, the UK, (devote) over 50 years to running the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary (避难所). This shelter offers a safe haven to wide variety of animals. including cats, dogs, pigs, and horses, most of were taken in after their previous owners could no longer keep them.

Her (remark) journey started in the 1970s when a soldier asked her to temporarily care for his dog. She later adopted the animal, an act that started her lifelong mission (rescue) creatures in need. What began as a small effort has expanded into a large sanctuary, now home to over 600 animals.

Despite her advanced age and having battled cancer three times, Barby has no (intend) of retiring. She works tirelessly, always (put) her animals' well-being first. As a non-profit organization, the sanctuary opens to the public for free every Sunday. An on-site shop selling pet food provides (addition) support.

Apart from the strong community backing, Barby expresses deep gratitude the dedicated volunteers. She finds the work challenging but deeply fulfilling.    is her profound love and dedication that fuel her ongoing efforts to create a better world for animals.

One rainy afternoon, her art teacher, Mr. Harris,6 a painting she had left behind. "This is7," he said, pointing to the powerful lines of a bird breaking free from a cage. He encouraged her to enter a city-wide art8.9, Elena hesitated. "I have no proper materials," she whispered shyly. Mr. Harris smiled. "Talent isn't about the tools: it's about the heart behind them."

For weeks, Elena poured her10 into her entry (参赛作品). She painted the story of her family's11 — the tired but hopeful eyes of her mother, the strong hands of her father, and the lively colors of their dreams. When the results were announced, Elena's painting won the first prize: a scholarship to the art school she admired and a set of professional art12.

Tears filled her eyes13 she realized that limitations had never defined her potential; they had only14 her determination. Her journey taught her that even the15 brushes can create wonders, if guided by courage and hope.

Art can often seem inaccessible because it has been stereotyped (老套的) in popular culture as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy. . Anyone can come to appreciate art with a little bit of time and effort. Here are some helpful methods to appreciate art.

Understand the historical context of the time when the art was produced. , and this can give you a window into their unique perspective. Throughout history, powerful groups and individuals often asked artists to create works that promoted their ideas. This practice influenced who the art was designed for.

. If you're looking at a painting, knowing what genre it belongs to can be helpful. Genres are essentially categories that are used to classify art. In painting, the established and well-known genres are landscape, portrait, genre paintings (which are paintings of scenes from ordinary life), history, and still life.

Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece. Art movements were surges (增长) in popularity of certain ways of creating art. . They may be all in the same region. They may all have a similar style or subject matter. Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist might have made certain choices.

Read up on the life and perspective of the artist. Learning a bit about the artist who created a piece can help shed light on it in a variety of ways. — why they made certain artistic decisions, or chose to make the work at all in the first place.

A. Find out the genre of the painting

B. Predict the creator of the picture

C. It can help you understand their actions

D. However, this couldn't be further from the truth

E. An art school is basically just a group of artists

F. Artists often create works about major historical events

G. Normally, popular items are essential inspirations for them

A new study by the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University reveals that large language models trained on popular but low-quality social media content can suffer from a type of "brain rot", which is familiar to anyone who's scrolled X or TikTok for too long.

"We live in an era where information grows faster than our attention spans. And much of the information is designed to get clicks, not to share truth or depth," says Junyuan Hong, an assistant professor at the National University of Singapore. Hong and his team fed different types of text to two open-source large language models during pretraining. They tested the models with a mix of widely shared social media posts with exaggerated language like "wow", "look", or "today only". The researchers then used several different evaluation standards to measure the impact of this "junk" social media content on two open-source models.

          The models trained on junk text experienced a kind of AI brain rot — with cognitive decline including reduced reasoning abilities and degraded memory. According to two assessment methods, the models also became less consistent with ethical (道德的) standards and more inclined to show psychopathic (精神错乱的) characteristics.

These results are similar to research on humans, showing that low-quality online content has a harmful effect on people's cognitive abilities. Many model developers might think social media posts are a good source of training data. "Training content may look like expanding the amount of data," Hong explains. "But it can silently damage reasoning abilities, ethical awareness, and the ability to focus on long contexts."

The findings also suggest that AI systems built around social platforms might suffer from quality control issues if user-generated posts are used in training without an eye toward the integrity of the posts. Hong warns that AI-generated low-quality content spreading on social media taints the data for future models. Their research shows such "brain rot" cannot be fully reversed by subsequent clean training.

Part of the answer comes from optics (光学). Violet light has the shortest wavelength on the spectrum (光谱) of visible light, right next to the unseen ultraviolet (紫外光), which only our skin detects. With its short wavelength and high frequency, the color purple contains the highest energy of all visible light. Symbolically, we can think of purple as the border between the visible and the invisible. Evolution also favors purple. As hunters and gatherers, early humans were drawn to variations of purple for the purpose of detecting eatable ripe fruit against the backdrop of green leaves.

Purple's significance stems from these physical and natural traits, but our love for it goes beyond science. Robert N. Kraft, a cognitive psychology professor, analyzed interviews with purple lovers, along with experiments and cultural evidence. A key reason is that purple looks good on them-all interviewees noted their purple outfits receive admirations.

Purple offers many combination possibilities, with deep purple on one end and lighter lavenders on the other. More than half the people interviewed extolled the "great variety" of colors to choose from, and they enjoy choosing different shades to wear, while staying in the color world of purple. Studies looking at personal characteristics suggest that people who love purple appreciate freshness, enjoy being artistic, and are comfortable taking innovative approaches to the challenges of everyday life. However, as noted by color researcher Andrew Eliot, we are only at the beginning of strict experimentation on color and psychological functioning.

The primary way people express their love of purple is by wearing it, with every manner of clothing and accessories, including coats, shirts, pants, dresses, jewelry and computer bags. But this love is expressed in other ways, as well. Three of the people interviewed said that when they moved to a different house, they made themselves feel at home by painting at least one wall of their new house purple.

Instead of merely standing at the front of the classroom lecturing on Shakespeare's poetry or grammar, Keating had a unique way of making the words come alive. In his first class, he walked into the room, a twinkle in his eye, and led the boys out into the hallway. Pointing at the old, faded pictures of former students, he said, "Carpe diem (抓住当下), boys. Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary. These men were once just like you, with dreams and potential. Don't let this place bury your ambitions."

Keating's secret haven (港湾) "Whispers of the Bard" — a magical spot hidden from school authorities — was where he gathered students outdoors. Reciting poetry with great enthusiasm, he told them poetry is more than rhymes and meters: it's the soul's language, expressing our deepest desires and wildest dreams.

Keating encouraged students to find their own voice in great poets' works. For Neil Perry, who secretly loved the stage, Keating was a guiding star-he recognized Neil's potential, urged him not to let his father dim his passion, and helped him practice lines to express emotions. With Keating's consistent guidance, Neil grew more confident, daring to surpass (超出) his father's expectations.

Shy Todd Anderson, overshadowed by his brother, had a talent for uncovering literature's deeper meaning-something Keating noticed. Urging him to "open your treasure chest of a mind" and share his valuable interpretations without fear of standing out, Keating's encouragement helped Todd come out of his shell and find the courage to speak up.

Keating's encouragement was like a gentle wind that blew through the lives of these students, fanning the flames of their dreams and giving them the strength to pursue what they truly loved.
