Growing up in Norway, I was easily exposed to the wilderness. Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born. I spent hours skiing in the mountains, camping under stars, and starting campfires with frozen fingers.

At 14, I made a brave decision — to ski across Greenland. Most people doubted me. I was just under 5 feet tall and looked more like a child than an explorer. But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger. "You must be strong and smart," be told me over and over.

To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland.

Encouraged, at 15, I decided my next goal was Antarctica. My father helped me make plans. My mother, though cautious, eventually supported me. When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole. I stood in silence, tears freezing on my cheeks. I sent Lars a chick emoji — at last, the "polar egg" hatched.

These days, a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle is often a (common) accepted part of modern-day living, but this kind of lifestyle can come with serious health risks. So, what can you do about it? A new study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise has an answer.

In the study, 11 healthy, middle-aged and older adults (invite) to sit in a lab for eight hours for five days. On one day, they sat for the full eight hours, only (get) up for bathroom breaks. On the other days, the researchers tried different (strategy) for preventing the participants from sitting long, their goal being to discover what the (little) amount of walking we could do to reduce the harmful effects of sitting long.

they found was that a five-minute walk every half an hour was able to significantly reduce blood sugar levels and (tired), and improved the participants' mood. That said, they saw that even short walks — such a one-minute walk every hour — still reduced blood pressure in the participants.

it comes to breaking out of a sedentary lifestyle, it can be hard to know where (begin). But this study provides a stepping stone to discovering how best to feel the full benefits of movement.

It's no secret that the internet is home to some shady characters, but staying safe online doesn't require you to turn your internet off. Instead, stay mindful and take a look at these easy tips on internet safety.

When it comes to online safety, it goes without saying that you should never share your passwords, banking information, or address online. Keep in mind that identity theft isn't the only risk. For example, information about your relationships could be used to figure out answers to your security questions or even give hackers (黑客) a tip-off when it comes to guessing your password.

Double-check any links before you click.

When checking your email or looking through social media, make sure you know and trust any links before you click on them. One way to tell if a link is safe is to run a mouse over it. Check to make sure the preview link matches the site it should be from. You can verify (证实) the correct site link by googling the company name.

Create and use complex passwords.

You should always use complex passwords to improve internet safety. If you need some help coming up with a secure password, here are some tips. Make it at least 15 characters long-longer, if possible. Don't use sequences of numbers or letters, like "qwerty."

Back up your data.

Most Macs and PCs have the option to let you back up your data, and it's worthwhile taking the time to do it every so often. Data backups can be a lifesaver if your computer gets infected with a virus.

A. Be careful who you chat with.

B. Mix up letters, numbers, and symbols.

C. Don't share your personal information.

D. This will show a preview of the full link.

E. This tip includes links sent to you by friends.

F. You can restore your computer to its original state.

G. Some details are riskier to share than you'd expect.

Research shows that a teacher's posture can be important in successful classroom behaviour management and that, when trying to convey a message, how you put your point across can carry much more significance than the point itself.

In a 2018 study, Teachers' Strategy of Positioning in Teaching Young Learners by Novi Rahayu Resuningrum, of YARSI University in Indonesia, it was said that if you use a strong posture and confident body language, you show your students that you're approachable, that you support their learning and that you aren't posing a threat for them to act out against. What's more, the study showed that this positioning is an element that needs to be considered carefully before teaching, or when you plan the lesson, to be able to teach effectively in terms of time and method.

But what is a "confident" body position? And what else do you need to know about the signals that your body is giving out around behaviour management?

For a start, trying to look tough will almost certainly fail, says Esther Miltiadous, a body language expert who works with the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. The organisation is set up by teachers to train colleagues to act properly. "Trying to look authoritative by having a military posture, with your chest out and shoulders back, can be really tiring on the body, and it's also quite aggressive (咄咄逼人的)," she explains.

The first thing many will think of is the different writing system. Indeed none of the State Department's hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet (字母表) used by most European languages. Chinese stands out for its difficulty. Arabic is alphabet, with just a couple of dozen letters. Its two complications are that letters change shape depending on where they appear in a word (beginning, middle, end or alone) and that short vowels (元音) are not written.

A second way languages can be hard is with sound distinctions that do not exist in the learner's language. In Hindi, the t-and d-sounds can be retroflex (卷舌音的) or not, making two different letters that can distinguish two different words (moti with a retroflex means "fat, thick" and with a non-retroflex t means "pearl").

The words obviously matter too. Most European languages share an ancestor and so their words, too, often come in related pairs. If you know water in Spanish is agua, it is easy to figure out Italian aqua and English aquatic. Languages unrelated to European ones will lack linguistic (语言的) similarity in vocabulary.

Grammar can further complicate foreign language learning. Therefore, the overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system, sounds, words and grammar. These come in different percentages: one professor of Chinese has called it the most difficult language he has ever learned to write and the easiest he has learned to speak.

If you want to learn a language just for fun, start with Swedish. If you want to learn an impressive number, stay in Europe. But if you really want to impress, boosting your brain power to master Chinese is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman.

Beginning her research in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park in 1960, the 26-year-old Goodall brought a fresh perspective to animal behavior studies. With no formal scientific training, she pioneered a compassionate, non-invasive approach to observing chimpanzees. She broke scientific conventions by giving the chimpanzees names like "David Greybeard" instead of numbers, allowing her to document their individual personalities and complex emotional lives. Her patience and dedication led to revolutionary discoveries, including her observation of chimpanzees using and making tools — a capability once thought unique to humans.

Goodall's most famous discovery came when she witnessed David Greybeard modifying a twig to "fish" for termites. This finding, along with her records of chimpanzees exhibiting behaviors such as hunting, warfare, and displaying emotions like grief and joy, fundamentally challenged the boundaries between humans and other animals. Her methods, initially criticized by some scientists, ultimately revolutionized the field of primatology and established a new paradigm for animal behavior research.

Beyond her scientific contributions, Goodall transformed into a global conservation leader. She established the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and founded the "Roots & Shoots" youth program in 1991, empowering young people in over 100 countries to take action for people, animals, and the environment. Honored as a UN Messenger of Peace and receiving numerous awards, including the presidential Medal of Freedom, Goodall's true legacy lies in the enduring hope she instilled in millions worldwide. She proved that one person's dedication can indeed change the world.

T-Centralen Station

Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm has no shortage of striking subway stations, but perhaps the most recognizable is T-Centralen station. Known as the "blue platform," this cave-like stop is decorated with plant patterns painted on raw granite rock (花岗岩) by artist Per-Olof Ulvedt. The station is one of the first in the city to host works of art.

Toledo Station

Naples, Italy

Toledo station offers a futuristic look. The station has become a source of inspiration for photographers thanks to its underground room dominated by Crater de Luz, a sculpture by architect Oscar Tusquets Blanca, which passes through each level of the station. The walls are covered in a mosaic (马赛克) of white, blue, gold, and black tiles (瓷砖).

Old City Hall Station

New York, City the US

Though it hasn't been in use since 1945, the Old City Hall stop is still one of the most beautiful stations in the New York City subway system. Among the standout features are the skillfully tiled archways by Spanish architect Rafael Guastavino, as well as the arched ceilings, skylights, and colorful glass windows.

Arts et Métiers Station

Paris, France

Arts et Métiers station lies below Paris's surface like a submarine (潜水艇). As you step inside, your eye is drawn to massive gears (齿轮) hanging from the ceiling and portholes filled with imagery from the 19th century. The station was updated in 1994 by Belgian comic book artist François Schuiten, who drew inspiration from the science fiction works of Jules Verne and the nearby Musée des Arts et Métiers, an industrial design museum featuring inventions from the 18^th and 19th centuries.

The Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, is a hot tourist attraction. Built in 1420, the palace recorded lives of important people through various relics and documents. The Forbidden City made a two-day broadcast (celebrate) its 600th birthday in April, 2020. The museum can provide a large amount of (value) material for today's historical research, as well as inspiration for literature and entertainment.

In addition a look at the history, the Forbidden City is also creative in terms of marketing. Over the last decade, the museum (produce) more than 10,000 cultural products featuring the imperial (皇家的) palace and (it) exhibits (展品), from fans, notebooks to apps and cosmetics (化妆品). The most popular products are the ones that feature the royal cats. The cat products are (real) inspired by the cats who call the Forbidden City home. More than 200 cats are living in the palace where they are being well (care) for. These small cute animals often walk around freely and pose cutely to make (visit) laugh, who sometimes can play with them.

"The real reason the Palace Museum has become so popular among people is that it keeps the right balance (平衡) among preserving (保留) history, sharing knowledge, and providing interesting interactive shows," Shan Jixiang, former director and curator (馆长) of museum, told China Daily.

We bought a baguette. As we ate, I noticed a girl in a queue smiling at us.

I met her again when she sat on a bench, enjoying her bread in front of a riverboat named Voyageur. Soon she boarded the boat. Then I noticed a colourful handbag on the3. The girl had left it!

She was on the upper deck (甲板)! I held up the bag and4 it to get her attention. When she noticed the bag, she opened her mouth5. But her face fell — the boat started to pull away from the dock (码头).

"We can6 it! The boat's next stop is Valence!" Gabriel came up.

"Great! But do you think we can7 ?" I asked.

Gabriel laughed. "We're going to find out!"

We set off. It was a race now:8 against the boat. If the boat beat us to Valence, we might9 have the chance to give back the bag.

Pedaling hard, we quickly caught up to the Voyageur. When the boat disappeared10us, we felt confident enough to relax our pace.

Then it happened: pffft! Flat tire (轮胎漏气)! My heart sank.

We had to stop and took out the tools when the Voyageur was coming near. I saw the girl again. She noticed our11 and shook her head sadly.

After a quick12, we were back on our way. The boat pulled ahead. We watched13 as the boat disappeared around a bend.

Finally we arrived,14 the Voyageur had docked. We failed!

Gabriel suddenly shouted, "I see her!"

The girl was strolling towards us! "You followed my boat!" she smiled.

"No, your boat followed us," I15. "Until I got a flat tire, that is." I handed her the bag.

These knots were used to record events and information in ancient times. As time went by, Chinese knotting developed into a decorative art.

The materials for making Chinese knots are usually colorful silk threads. They can be made into different shapes like butterflies, flowers, and lucky symbols. Each knot has its own special meaning. For example, a double-coin knot represents wealth.

First, the crafter chooses the right silk threads according to the design. Then, different knotting techniques are used to create the basic shapes. Finally, the crafter combines these shapes to form a complete Chinese knot.

In the past, Chinese knots were often given as gifts during festivals. Today, they are not only popular in China but also loved by people around the world. They can be seen in many places, such as homes, shops, and art galleries.

Many schools and communities hold Chinese knotting classes to teach this traditional art to young people. In this way, more people can learn about Chinese knotting and help keep this cultural heritage alive.

A. Making a Chinese knot involves several steps.

B. In ancient times, people made simple knots with ropes.

C. People believe that they can bring good luck and happiness.

D. These threads are easy to shape and can be knotted in different ways.

E. Chinese knotting has become a symbol of Chinese traditional culture.

What is true is that the world's population doesn't stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate (速度). That's in part because in each generation there are more people who then have children than in the last generation.

Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In the 1920s, the world's population was under 2.5 billion. Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on the earth as there are now. Wow! Now that's a whole lot of people! Soon the world's population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on the earth equals too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources the world needs to feed, house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth's resources.

His biggest challenge came when he planned to make a film about a tennis player. Since no one would offer him money for a 2-hour film, Meng and his college friends tried to make a shorter one. They bought a second-hand camera and used old things instead of expensive equipment. They even made a shelf on their own to support the camera.

Meng and his friends worked hard, rain or shine. When filming the tennis player, they ran after him in the summer sun. If it rained and they couldn't film outside, they hung bed sheets (床单) on the walls in an empty room to set up a simple studio (摄影棚). This 12-minute film got much attention. The teachers and students in their college liked the music they created for it.

After that, Meng had another idea: to make a musical film. But musicals weren't popular in college, and many said it wouldn't work. Instead of listening to the doubts, Meng and his team spent weeks writing new songs and making a test video. To film the moving scenes, they fixed a smartphone on a skateboard and pushed it. The actors' hair was blowing in the wind while they were dancing and singing. The loud voice and laughter of the team filled the air.

Their musical film was well received and won several awards at a film festival. As Meng said, "Making films isn't about having the best equipment or famous actors. It's about finding new ways to tell your story. Our team is planning to make a special documentary about the environment. And I can't wait to write music for it."

— It's sunny today.

—I didn't sleep well last night. I had a headache.

Growing up in a small village in the care of my grandmother affected my childhood with a mix of love and simple pleasures. Every day after school, I'd hurry to Grandmother's welcoming home, greeted by the smell of freshly baked cookies and the warmth of the fireplace. We would spend hours together gardening, baking, and especially knitting (编织). Each birthday, Grandmother would gift me a hand-knitted sweater with bright colors and complex patterns, which I held dear.

Later, I moved to the city for my studies, leaving the countryside and Grandmother behind. Getting used to the exciting city life and burdened by an increasingly demanding academic schedule, I found myself unwilling to call Grandmother. Although the handmade sweater kept arriving each year, my appreciation for it decreased. The bright, old-fashioned patterns looked out of place among the modern and fashionable clothes of my classmates.

Before my 18th birthday, a package from Grandmother arrived on time again. Inside was Grandmother's latest creation. The sweater was as colorful as ever, with eye-catching designs, but it might cause embarrassment if I wore it in school. In a moment of disappointment, I threw the sweater aside. "Why couldn't Grandmother just be like my friends' relatives who gifted fashionable clothes or smart devices? Why does she stick to such an old-fashioned tradition?" I complained to my mother.

My mother was sad when she heard my words. "Your grandmother is getting older, and her eyesight is not so good as it used to be," she replied. "Despite this, she insists on keeping the birthday tradition alive." She continued, her voice trembling (颤抖), "She rejected my advice, spending months knitting that sweater. Every stitch (一针) is filled with her love for you. She could easily buy something from the store, but she chooses to make the sweater because it means something more."
