According to a report on the traditional culture trend in 2021,(release) on Feb. 3 by Bilibili, an online video–sharing platform popular among younger people, more than 177 million of the platform's users were in favor of(video) featuring traditional culture.

That approval reflected the way the "China Chic" (中国风) phenomenon has been(warm) embraced by the younger generation in recent years.

China Chic, or guochao, features fancy designs mixedelements from traditional culture. It became widely known in 2018 after the sportswear brand Li–Ning took the fashion world by storm with its oriental–style designs at New York Fashion Week. That led toincreasing number of Chinese brands joining the trend and creating a wave of China Chic.

China Chic has changed from a consumption trend to a cultural phenomenon. The 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing can be seen as a good example ofyoung people have embraced China Chic. Young athletes(wear) sports clothing bearing Chinese elements, such as dragons and pandas.

China Chic expresses traditional culture with the language of pop culture, bringing it(close) to young people and making it more acceptable to them. Eager to show their personalities to the world, young people find national identity a good way to distinguish(they) from others, and culture is the perfect medium(explain) why young people are passionate about traditional culture.

Be adaptable and understanding. Keep an open mind and don't demand everything you're used to in your own city. This will put less pressure on your destination and its people.

Save water while on vacation by choosing short showers instead of baths and turning off the water while brushing teeth or shaving. Always research weather and trail conditions before hiking or taking a road trip to avoid getting lost or injured and having to get rescued, which can consume important public resources.

Respect natural places. Remember that marked hiking trails are there for a reason, usually to help preserve the surrounding environment. Keep your distance from wildlife and never feed or touch wild animals, for your own safety and for the safety of the animals themselves.

Find ways to give back. This can be as simple as picking up a piece of trash in the park or volunteering for a beach clean-up. Or take a trip where volunteering is the primary objective.

A. Support locals directly.

B. Be mindful of local resources.

C. Don't leave your sustainable habits at home.

D. So take out what you brought in and don't litter.

E. Here are some tips on being a sustainable traveler.

F. Consider the ways you can contribute to the local community.

G. However, if not managed properly, tourism can have incredibly negative impacts.

U. S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released a warning in August 2024 calling for a rapid recovery of parental well-being. Murthy along with scientists and parents sees that the current stress of parenting is seriously affecting the physical and mental health of caregivers. He states his concern over reports that most days, nearly half of all parents feel seriously stressed.

Data from a 2022 Household Pulse Survey found that the majority of parents — including 35% with children under 5 and 54% with children between 5 and 11 — have no formal child care support. This is undoubtedly driven, at least in part, by the rising costs and increasing lack of day care choices.

The research shows that focusing only on getting through the day with your kids is linked to more stress and harsher parenting behaviors. When a mom or dad is in survival mode, they tend to be more likely to shout demands and criticize their children's behavior, as opposed (相反的) to thinking through the impacts of these behaviors. Stressed-out parents are quicker to criticize little things that get in the way of achieving immediate goals, such as spilling flour on the floor. And they are slower to notice and acknowledge their child's strengths, such as their interest in helping in the kitchen.

However, bringing joy back to parenting this holiday season — and any time of the year — is more straightforward than most recipes on Pinterest, a social platform. The secret is taking the pressure off surviving the moment and refocusing on the future you want to create.

She was born on April 3,1934, in London, England. From childhood, Jane Goodall was fascinated by animals and spent hours observing them in their natural habitats. Whatever difficulties she encounters, Jane Goodall never gives up. After graduating from high school, Goodall worked as a secretary to save money for her trip to Africa she had always dreamed of visiting.

In 1960, Goodall's life took a significant turn when receiving an invitation from renowned archaeologist Louis Leakey to study chimpanzees in Tanzania. With little formal scientific training, she began a journey that would revolutionize our understanding of these magnificent creatures. Living in the remote Gombe Stream National Park, Goodall spent decades observing and documenting the behavior of chimpanzees. She discovered chimpanzees use tools, have complex social structures, and exhibit emotions similar to humans. Her groundbreaking research challenged long-held beliefs about the uniqueness of human beings and opened up new ways of study in the field of primatology (灵长类动物学)。

Goodall's contributions extend far beyond her scientific research. She is a passionate advocate for conservation and animal welfare. She has established numerous conservation projects worldwide, focusing on protecting chimpanzees and their habitats. She also works to promote environmental education and sustainable development, inspiring the next generation to protect our planet.

At present, Goodall continues to travel internationally, working as the UN Messenger of Peace and inspiring people to protect ecology. Awarded numerous honors for her lifelong commitment, she remains a towering figure in both science and activism.

In short, Jane Goodall's life is a shining example of what can be achieved through deep love for animals and nature and firm determination faced with huge challenges and difficulties. She is truly an admirable figure, and her story will continue to inspire generations to come.

It was the day after Christmas in 2018. My children had gone back to their homes, and my husband had passed away a few years earlier so I was alone. I was in the kitchen making my breakfast when I suddenly dropped to the floor. I couldn't move. I lay on the floor for seven hours before someone found me.

When the paramedics finally arrived, I realized I couldn't stand on my own and I couldn't walk. I began an uncharted journey to gain the necessary strength to walk again.

When I arrived at the assisted-living facility I would now call "home," I was extremely weak and anemic. And I couldn't walk. I started with three nourishing meals a day in a dining room filled with strangers whom I would soon call "family." I rested between meals until, several months later, I had enough strength to start learning to walk again. But now I needed to find a physical therapist who could help me. I didn't know where to begin.

One evening in the dining room someone suggested that I call the physical therapist Phil, who had helped her eighty-eight-year-old father get back on his feet. "He's amazing," she said. "It took three people initially to get my dad out of bed, and now he uses only a walker to get around." I couldn't say "yes" fast enough.

Phil called back that night. "Let's give it a try," he said. "Let's see what we can do."

Every day, I lay in bed while Phil pushed, pulled, and strengthened my legs so that I could stand once again. And with every push, pull, and stretch, a voice inside me shouted, "Lola, you can do it! Don't you dare give up!" I had climbed many mountains in my seventy-eight years of life, and I knew that this would be one of the most difficult comebacks to a somewhat normal life.

During the summer vacation, I was cleaning the garage when I discovered a mysterious old wooden box covered in dust. It looked very1, and I couldn't remember ever seeing it before. My2 was immediately awakened. What could be inside?

The box was locked, and no key was in sight. I shook it gently, and something inside made a3 sound. I spent the next hour searching for the key everywhere until I finally found a small, rusted one hidden in an old drawer. With4 hands, I inserted the key. It turned with a click!

I held my breath and opened the lid. To my5, there were no treasures or ancient maps. Instead, the box was filled with a collection of small,6 objects: a faded postcard, a smooth blue stone, a broken watch, and a bundle of letters tied with a ribbon. For a moment, I felt a touch of7.

But then I began to examine them closely. The postcard, sent by my grandfather to my grandmother, carried words of deep8 and love. The stone was from the beach where they first met; the watch, though broken, marked the time of their tenth anniversary. Each object was a chapter, a precious9 from their life together. These simple items witnessed their10, challenges, and everlasting love.

My initial disappointment vanished, replaced by a feeling of great11. I had not found material wealth, but something far more12 — a living history of love and dedication. I was deeply moved by the13 and warmth these ordinary objects held.

I carefully returned everything to the box, now regarding it not as a locked container, but as a sacred family14. That day, I made a decision to start my own collection, not of valuable things, but of moments and memories that truly matter. This experience taught me that the greatest treasures in life are often15 — they are the values, the stories, and the love that we carry forward.

Do you often study with headphones on? Or feel a sudden energy boost when your favorite song comes on? Music is far more than just entertainment; it's a powerful force that shapes our feelings, thoughts, and even actions in many ways.

This is the most common use of music. A fast-paced song can make you feel excited and ready for a workout, while a gentle melody can help you calm down after a long day. When you feel sad, listening to a song that understands your feelings can be a great comfort. It's like having a friend who always knows what to say.

Music Serves as a Focus Tool.

For many students, music is a necessary study partner. This type of music, often without lyrics, creates a steady background atmosphere. It helps block out distracting noises like conversations or traffic, allowing you to concentrate better on your homework.

Music Builds Social Connection.

Music brings people together. Think about school concerts or parties. Sharing a taste in music can be the start of a friendship. It acts as a universal language that helps us connect with others and feel part of a group.

Music Brings Back Memories.

Have you ever heard a song from your childhood and suddenly been flooded with clear memories? Music has a strong connection to memory. Setting facts or vocabulary to a simple tune can make them much easier to remember. Try singing your next history timeline to a melody!

Music Boosts Motivation.

Finally, music is a fantastic motivator. Need to clean your room or finish a long run? Some upbeat music can be the answer. So next time you face a boring task, turn on some energetic music. You might be surprised at how much faster it gets done.

A. Music regulates our emotions.

B. Music shapes our identity and culture.

C. This is why it can be a valuable learning aid.

D. It provides a rhythm that makes work lighter.

E. It improves your mood and reduces the feeling of fatigue.

F. In these settings, shared musical experiences create a sense of unity.

G. Specifically, classical or light music is often chosen for this purpose.

While heatwaves have long been associated with short-term increases in premature deaths, this study breaks new ground by examining their long-term health consequences. The research team from the University of Hong Kong analyzed data from 25,000 Chinese adults, using comprehensive medical tests including blood pressure, inflammation markers, cholesterol levels, and organ function assessments to determine biological age. By comparing this with chronological age, researchers established a clear link between heatwave exposure and accelerated aging.

The findings demonstrate that the cumulative number of heatwave days has the most substantial impact on biological aging. Although the observed effect over the two-year study period appears moderate, scientists warn that the lifelong cumulative impact could be profound. Dr. Cui Guo, the lead researcher, emphasized that "if heatwave exposure accumulates over decades, the health impact will be much more severe than our current findings suggest." She further cautioned that as climate change makes heatwaves more frequent and prolonged, future health consequences are likely to intensify.

Professor Paul Beggs of Macquarie University, while not involved in the study, characterized these findings as transformative. "Many have assumed they survived heatwaves unharmed," he noted. "This research reveals that heat exposure actually influences our aging rate."

The study accounted for multiple individual factors including weight, smoking history, and pre-existing medical conditions. However, researchers acknowledged the lack of data on certain behavioral aspects such as outdoor exposure duration and personal air conditioning use, highlighting the need for further investigation. Additionally, since study participants were generally healthier than the broader population, the aging effects on more vulnerable groups may be even more pronounced.

This marks another breakthrough following Jiaolong's first manned dive under Arctic ice. "Previously, Jiaolong operated at a single underwater point. This time, we expanded its capacity by enabling cooperation with an ROV," said Fu Wentao, chief pilot of Jiaolong.

The first joint dive took place on August 14, testing underwater positioning and communication between the two devices. A second dive on August 15 involved close cooperation: the ROV filmed Jiaolong collecting seabed samples, while Jiaolong passed items like rocks to the ROV. They also recorded each other in the deep sea.

According to Li Dewei of the National Deep Sea Center, such cooperation creates a combined advantage that overcomes the limits of manned submersibles in large-scale sampling. He noted that combining human decision-making with machine precision is an inevitable trend in deep-sea exploration.

In another innovation, scientists used AI-based image recognition along with environmental DNA detection to identify deep-sea organisms. More than 10,000 deep-sea biological images supported the AI identification, while DNA data verified its accuracy.

The expedition, China's largest in the Arctic Ocean, ended in late September. It involved four research vessels and revealed clear differences in seabed organism density, diversity, and size across Arctic regions. These findings will help assess how climate change affects deep-sea ecosystems.
