In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their impressions of university life. To my surprise, many of them said they were(disappoint).

After the controlled high school lives, they are having difficulty(enjoy) the free time in the university. They said in high school, they got up at 6 in the morning and studied until 10 at night. Most of their spare time was spent homework to pass the exams.

However, once they entered the university, they were not expected(devote) all their waking hours to studying. They should also take an(actively) part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their spare time between sports clubs, some of were very important for their(succeed) in the future.

As they had so many choices, they(feel) that no matter what they were doing, they should do something else. To these students, my advice is: learn to make decisions for(you).

But then, I needed him3. My husband had most of the knowledge I4. I don't know when it happened but our5 changed into six words. "Hi. Dad." "Hi, sweets. Here's Mom." Dad knew I always6 to ask questions about how to take care of kids.

I loved my dad, but I wondered if he had already7 everything I needed to know. Two summers ago, my husband, kids and I moved in a lake house with my8 for three weeks. Dad asked me to help him9 the bulkhead(舱壁).

It was10 labour. But as we put the new bulkhead together piece by piece, my dad knew11 what went where. "Dad, how do you know how to build it?"

His heavy mallet(木槌)12 in mid-air. "I spent a summer building them on the Jersey Shore." I thought I knew everything about his random13. But I never knew this.

As he carefully explained how to use the circular saw, I realized that maybe it's not that there's14 left to say. Maybe it's just that I've spent my life asking him the15 questions.

A few weeks later, I moved back. I called my parents.16 answered. "Hi, sweets. Here's Mom." "Wait, Dad, how are you?" We17 talking about his consulting job. To anyone else, it would sound like a18 conversation between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was19. A new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I20 to.

The language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and useful tools of non-verbal (非语言的) communication.. The following are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.

1.

Researchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes wrinkles (起皱纹). But a social, polite smile touches only our lips (嘴唇). The smile you are given is not in the eyes. For example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help , you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something.

2. Shy eyes

People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. What does little or no eye contact mean then?

3. Friendly eyes

When you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him:. This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye contact with the speaker.

4. "Shut" eyes

Covering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, "No problem.".

A. Empty eyes

B. Smiling eyes

C. Such behavior is seen with liars

D. You are listening to him carefully

E. Anything from shyness to nervousness

F. What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all

G. So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes

There have been a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. Luke rushed towards the forest where flames send out a terrible heat. There's no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Luke to come back to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce me his death in the forest. Suddenly, a fireman burst into my office and informed me that my dog Luke succeeded in saving four cats which were trapped by the flames. Luke seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe place. I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to pick up the rescued kittens, but Luke was not there. Then we heard the sound of a dog came from the forest barking furiously. The firemen followed the tracks of the dog until they found him barking loudly by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground.

That day, I was very proud of Luke for his two heroic actions. I paid a visit to the fireman accompanied with my adorable Luke. What a memorable scene when the fireman hugged Luke tightly to his chest! "One thousand thanks, Luke, for saving my life," the fireman said.

This true story of love and compassion shows us that pets are loving, caring and compassionate. We should love and protect them. Don'tbelittle them. Little animals can make enormous things for humans.

In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price—five dollars—was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.

Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.

Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered ( 风 化 的 ) door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, "But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?"

"I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. "People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should be kept for a while."

Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked into the sunlight. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought his mom would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben had an idea—he could raise money by selling used nail bags. He ran towards the sound and stopped at a construction site. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.

That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin (汽水罐).

Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Scroll is a representative work of realism in Chinese art. (paint) on a five-metre-long silk scroll, the painting provides an important insight into life in China in the 12h century. The ancient scroll, which is (current) kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing, gives the viewer an idea of what life was like for the people of Bianjing. seems that the most impressive aspect of the painting is Zhang's precise brushwork. The painting reveals a great deal about the 12th-century Chinese customs, clothing, transportation methods, business practices various buildings. At first sight, the overall scene of life in the capital city seems peaceful and cheerful. However, some (expert) suggest that on closer inspection, the painting actually exposes serious political and social problems. Some boats (carry) food do not seem to belong to the government, which (suggest) that the government has lost control of food supplies and transportation.

The details show that the crisis is developing in the city. As matter of fact, the Northern Song Dynasty was on the decline at that time. About 20 years after the painting (complete), it was overthrown.

With the Qingming Scroll, Zhang made an outstanding (contribute) to Chinese art and greatly influenced generations of future artists.

But occasionally, whether in a taxi or when meeting a friend's father, I found myself faced with a5 opener like, "Terrible season we're having, eh?" or simply, "Who do you support?" My heart sank, knowing my response would unavoidably6 them, despite their good intentions.

I realized that my7 had closed off many conversations, outings, and even potential friendships I might have8 enjoyed. Although I couldn't change the fact that I found football boring, I began to regret being a(n)9 .

During those matches, we sat close to the field, surrounded by families who had a genuine11 with the players. My kid's questions kept me somewhat12 in the game. Slowly, I started to13 for the Lions.

More than a third of bullying (欺凌) takes place online, and the numbers are on the rise, according to a report by the United Nations' educational organization UNESCO. TietoEVRY developed the Polite Type font as a new tool to deal with online bullying among kids, pointing out harmful language and causing users to pick kinder words.

As users try to write hurtful English words, the font will automatically replace them. Writing "I hate you" would, for example, result in the milder "I disagree with you" when Polite Type is used on the computer. Sentences such as "you are ugly" is replaced with "you are not traditionally beautiful" while rude words are blurred (使模糊) completely. The company says it is the first example where a blur has been used as a symbol in a font package. Racial slurs (种族歧视语) are replaced with the racial group the slur is related to, rather than blurring the word entirely.

The vocabulary of the font was co-created with teenagers from Finland. The font's library of words was chosen to include language from different origins, religions, and world views, and will make adjustments as more people and businesses use it. In the future, TietoEVRY suggests that machine learning could be used to teach the font to understand how language is used. Polite Type can be now downloaded and used for free.

"We want bullies to rethink the words they use and the actual meaning behind them," said Kia Haring, global head of communication and sustainability at TietoEVRY. "I hope that our cause acts as a wake-up call for all audiences to consider how bullying could be handled."

Past researchers had been able to print simple tissues (生物组织) without blood vessels (血管), the team said. The new development is the first time "anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart filled with cells, blood vessels and so on," Tal Dvir of Tel Aviv University told The Jerusalem Post.

Dvir and his team reported the findings Monday in Advanced Science. The heart, about the size of a rabbit's, is too small for a human, but the process used to create it shows the potential for one day being able to 3D-print pieces and maybe full transplants (移植), the team said. Because the heart is made from the patient's own biological material, it reduces the chance that the transplant would fail, according to the research paper. The team used fatty tissues, then separated and "reprogrammed" the materials. The cells that become heart cells were then created.

The development is being praised as a "major breakthrough" in medicine and one that could help battle heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medicines to prevent their side effects," Tel Aviv University said in a statement. "Instead, the needed hearts, lungs etc. will be printed, fully personalized for every patient." The research is still a long way off from clearing the way to transplant the 3D-printed hearts into humans, the team says.

Dvir told the news organization Bloomberg that the heart the team printed will need another month before cells develop full to beat. Tests on animals would need to be done before the technology could be tried in humans, he added. It would take a whole day and billions, rather than millions, of cells to print a human heart, Dvir told Bloomberg.

But Dvir remains hopeful. "Maybe, in 10 years, such printers will be seen and used in the finest hospitals around the world," he told The Times of Israel.

★★★★★Would definitely recommend! Robert M.

Highly recommend! An experience we will never forget!

★★Is extraordinary. Wanda L.

Everything. Didn't expect the trail to be so narrow. A bit scary at times but the horses and staff were well-trained.

Frank, a six-year-old boy, was interested in playing piano, so his mother found him a tutor. He showed great passion at the very beginning. However, bored with day-after-day practice, Frank couldn't tolerate sitting at the piano. Sometimes when he was required to play a bit difficult melodies, the results were not exactly graceful flowing music, even though he tried his best. Gradually, his enthusiasm began to fade away.

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, his mother took the boy to a Paderewski concert. When they reached the entrance of the theatre where the concert was held, they saw a crowd of music lovers stream into the hall. The little boy was awed by what he saw and he felt a little thrilled. They then walked in with the crowds and found their places. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.

Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose to his feet and eventually explored his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE." When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing. The mother glanced around the hall and her little son was nowhere to be seen. Feeling desperate and trembling with fear, she fished in the bag for her phone and was about to call the police when suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway (斯坦威钢琴) on stage.

Paragraph 1:

The mother saw her little boy sitting at the key-board, playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

At that moment, Paderewski made his entrance and sat beside the boy, whispering "Don't quit. Keep playing."

In addition to a traditional guide dog, the visually impaired (视障人士) will soon have another option (aid) with their daily life — a robot guide dog.

The six-legged robot guide dog developed by the School of Mechanical Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, now (test), can navigate users to destinations without running into barriers. It is equipped with voice interaction capabilities and can recognize traffic light signals, traditional guide dogs cannot do.

According to data from the China Association of Persons with Visual Disabilities, there are (current) about 17.31 million visually impaired people in China. They face diverse inconveniences and demand (assist) for daily routines.

Guide dogs are important life partners not everyone is lucky enough to have a traditional companion. There are only about 400 guide dogs in China. People have to wait for a long time after applying a guide dog.

(define) as a type of navigation robot, research in robot guide dogs (date) back to June 2021, when the robots were developed and expected to serve the visually impaired in daily trips and travel at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

China's walking robots (develop) in recent years. Their basic components can now be produced at good quality and a low price.

When our English teacher announced a speech contest, my heart2. However, a weak voice within3 me to take a risk. With much4, I signed up.

The preparation was laborious. I worked hard on my script, endlessly5 it. While practicing in front of the mirror, I was troubled by a trembling voice and sweaty palms.

On the day of the6, my knees felt like jelly as I waited backstage. But when I stepped onto the stage and saw the7 gazes of my teacher and some classmates, something changed. I took a deep breath and began.

Surprisingly, the words came out8, and with each sentence, my confidence9. After I finished, there was a brief silence before the audience10 applause.

I didn't win, but that didn't matter. This11 was a turning point. It made me understand that I had more capabilities than I'd believed. Subsequently, I engaged in class discussions, joined the drama club, and12 for presentations.

This journey of facing my13 and leaving my comfort zone has been14 to my growth. It has shown me that with determination and a bit of courage, we can conquer our insecurities and uncover our hidden15.

Privacy is a priority to consider. Chinese people are vigilant (警惕) about protecting personal information. They fear strangers might misuse their face photos, perhaps in advertisements or for creating false identities.. Therefore they are extremely cautious as they don't want their pictures exploited without permission.

. Influenced by traditional Chinese culture, people are rather reserved in self-presentation. They prefer expressing themselves subtly rather than via face photos. Also, they are concerned about others' opinions and wish to avoid negative remarks about their appearance.. They think showing faces may draw excessive attention and criticism.

Psychological factors play a part. Some individuals lack confidence in their looks and believe other images can better convey their inner qualities. Using non-face photos can add an air of mystery and make them more appealing in social interactions..

Habits and traditions also matter. In the early days of the Chinese Internet, platforms like QQ provided default avatars (头像). Unlike Western platforms with a strong real-name culture, Chinese ones offer more flexibility.. This has influenced the choice of profile pictures, allowing people to select avatars according to their preferences rather than being restricted to face photos. It makes them more likely to choose symbolic pictures. They thus have more freedom to use other pictures as avatars.

A. Cultural elements have an impact

B. This has led to a different pattern of avatar selection

C. All these lead them to be careful about using face photos

D. This gives them a chance to create a unique virtual identity

E. They believe non-face photos can better protect their privacy

F. They feel that face photos might make them stand out too much

G. They are afraid that their photos might be used for illegal activities

Major food-producing regions like Argentina, Spain, and the Black Sea are among those most affected, alongside politically unstable nations like South Sudan. Every year, nearly 400, 000 square miles of productive land degrade globally. The UN Convention to Combat Desertification, in place for 30 years, seeks to reverse this trend, but progress remains limited.

Saudi Arabia, host of the summit and the world's largest oil exporter, has a complicated role. While it favoured international agreements to combat climate change, it has also worked to weaken commitments to reduce fossil fuel dependency and limit plastic pollution. These actions highlight the tension between environmental goals and economic interests.

The report outlined measures to build resilience, such as rethinking agricultural practices. For example, regions with long histories of water scarcity, like Los Angeles, are exploring ways to grow less water-intensive crops. However, such adaptations may prove challenging for many large urban areas worldwide.

Drylands, which cover more than 40% of Earth's land outside Antarctica, experience persistent moisture deficits. Europe has been particularly affected, with over 95% of its land becoming drier in recent decades. While some regions, like Central Africa and India, may see increased rainfall due to heavier bursts of precipitation (降水) in a warming climate, no current drylands are expected to become consistently humid in the near future.

The report warns that the ecological impacts of the drying trend may be irreversible within human timescales. Many organisms adapted to current conditions may not survive the rapid changes, emphasizing the urgency of global action to address this crisis.

Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the "timeless classic" is anything but permanent. "What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water", she argues. Classics come and go.

Take other celebrated works of art for example. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo's "David" had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artist's sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous "Venus de Milo" was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about "Venus de Medici", a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of.

Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastian Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach's compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville's masterpiece "Moby Dick" was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.

"The status of classics" depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence.

A newspaper comments: Putting an end to the requirement that parents sign the homework of their children eases the burden on many parents, as otherwise they would have to do primary school homework after a hard day's work. But there are worries that if parents stop signing their children's homework, the children will not get good grades.

However, the most efficient way for children to study is to cultivate their willingness to learn and do their own studies. When doing homework, students practice and hopefully apply what they have learned. True teachers are supposed to check students' homework and identify their mistakes. But some parents correct their children's mistakes by themselves when signing the homework.

It is students' duty to do their homework, be responsible for their studies and correct their mistakes. Parents supervising their homework, checking their answers and dealing with the harder problems will only make children less aware of their mistakes and encourage them to wait for their parents' help when they face any problems.

Children have to manage their own learning and develop the ability to study by themselves, as competence will not be achieved if a student simply repeats rigid tasks in which he is assisted at school by teachers and at home by parents.

An experiment conducted by American psychologist Walter Mischel in the 1960s proved that children with better self-discipline performed better in their studies and relationships.

There is little doubt that parents' supervision can make children's homework better. But it does not give children the chance to solve problems independently.
