Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you're 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother's advice didn't work.

On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn't even speak the language? My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.

When the teacher introduced me to the class as the "American girl", 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn't speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn't sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren't sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.

It was a cold December evening as I walked along the street. Suddenly, a high-speed bus2 a small car. The driver was pinned in his seat by the force of the3.

There have been many theories about why humans sleep, from a way to rest after the day's activities to simply a way to fill time until we can do something useful. . The body repairs itself just as well when we are sitting quietly. And we wouldn't need to catch up on sleep during the day if it were just to fill empty time at night. One of the major problems with sleep insufficiency is a resulting decline in cognitive (认知) ability.. We will find ourselves struggling with memory, learning, planning and reasoning.

A lack of sleep can actually have severe effects on our mood and performance of everyday tasks. Sleep can be divided into two broad stages: non-rapid eye movement (NREM), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. . When this is occurring, this is the time when we sleep the deepest. Without NREM sleep, our ability to form declarative memories, such as learning to associate pairs of words, can be seriously impaired. . It is also the time of peak growth hormone (荷尔蒙) release in the body. This stage is important for cell reproduction and repair.

. Some scientists argue that it allows our brains a safe place to practice dealing with situations or emotions that we might not encounter during our daily lives. Others think that it might be a way to unlearn memories, or to process unwanted feelings or emotions. However, no one knows the real answer.

A. The majority of our sleep is NREM.

B. The purpose of REM sleep is unclear.

C. But all of these ideas are somewhat imperfect.

D. Our brains just don't work properly without sleep.

E. Scientists managed to discover the secret of sleep.

F. People don't know the role NREM plays in improving our health.

G. Deep sleep is important for turning short-term memories into long-term storage.

Phillip Zimbardo was a researcher at Stanford University. In 1972, he recruited (招募) 24 mentally healthy, male, college students for an experiment taking place in a fake (假的) prison in the basement of Stanford. These participants were randomly divided into 2 groups: prison guards and prisoners. The guards received a uniform and mirrored sunglasses to wear for the job. Then, after being sent home, the prisoners were publicly arrested at their homes on a Sunday morning. They were processed at a real police station before being transported to the ‘prison'.

No one could have predicted what would happen next. The guards weren't given any specific instructions on how to behave. Yet, very soon they began acting in extreme ways: they prevented prisoners from eating, took away their bedding, forced them to remove their clothes, and even punished them with chores such as cleaning toilets with their bare hands. As well as this, the prisoners were submitting to the guards - even though they knew that they hadn't actually done anything wrong and weren't even in a real prison!

After just thirty-six hours, a prisoner had to be removed from the study as he had sunk into a deep depression with fits of anger and uncontrollable crying. A few days later, other prisoners displayed similar symptoms. The guards also continued to abuse them. It was at this point that Zimbardo was told to stop the experiment. It was shut down after just six days.

This experiment demonstrates the power of the situation in influencing how we act. Good people, just like you or me, are capable of evil acts. However, the power of the situation doesn't always have to be bad: it can also be a force for good.

Of course, we could never repeat this experiment for ethical (伦理的) reasons. This means that we need to assess how valid Zimbardo's conclusions really are. For example, demand characteristics - how the guards assumed they should act - may have significantly shaped their behaviour.

With over 6.3 million queries processed every second, Google's search results hold immense influence over public knowledge and perception. Users tend to focus only on the first few links, limiting their exposure to diverse viewpoints. This dynamic raises the issue of "filter bubbles", where users may be trapped in a cycle that strengthens their existing beliefs. Critics argue that the algorithms (算法) used by Google contribute significantly to this problem, presenting a limited selection of information based on users' preferences.

Mark Williams-Cook, founder of AlsoAsked, emphasizes the technical limitations of search engines and the misunderstandings surrounding them. He references internal Google documents revealing that the company often relies on user engagement data rather than comprehending content. This practice can promote confirmation bias, leading users towards information that aligns with their views, similar to a child choosing an unhealthy diet based only on preference.

Google acknowledges the complexity of its search system and emphasizes ongoing efforts to enhance its algorithms to tackle these issues. While the company declares that it provides a range of viewpoints, the reality remains that most users do not go beyond the top search results, which limits their exposure to diverse perspectives.

Critics believe Google should better educate users about how its search engine functions, as a clearer understanding of these processes could foster critical consumption of information. As Google evolves into an "answer engine" that provides direct information, the challenge of ensuring balanced and informative content remains crucial for public knowledge.

In Vilnius, I found comfort in a website, which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours. These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours, each morning setting out to explore the city's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sent Stephen photos each night. Our guide, Ieva, shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travelers from various backgrounds, including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced my grandmother's footsteps in Jewish Vilnius, visiting places she might have known. These tours, full of surprises, were perfect for a solo traveler, offering connection and flexibility. On my last day, Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation.

I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I navigated apartment lockboxes, shopped in local supermarkets, and cooked, activities I was once less skillful at. In Poland, I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours, adapting to larger groups. I walked over 20,000 steps daily, often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals. In Lodz, I took a private tour with Milena, who helped me find my family's history, including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war.

Stephen was hospitalized just before I returned, and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow, but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly, benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own.

In the quiet town of Willow Creek, lived a young woman named Sarah. Sarah was an artist, known for her paintings of landscapes and animals, but beneath her calm appearance, she struggled with anxiety and depression. The pressures of her job and the isolation she often felt had a negative impact on her mental health, and she spent many days feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the world around her.

One afternoon, as Sarah was leaving the local art gallery, she noticed a small, scruffy dog sitting by the door. It looked lost, hungry, and a little scared. Sarah's heart softened as she approached the dog, offering it a piece of her sandwich. The dog wagged its tail and sniffed at the food, but instead of eating, it sat down next to her, as if asking for something more. Feeling an instinctive (直觉的)pull, Sarah decided to take the dog home with her, naming it Sunny.

Over the next few weeks, Sunny became Sarah's constant companion. Every morning, he would greet her with an excited bark and a wagging tail. Sarah soon discovered that Sunny was not just a pet, but a therapy dog. Whenever she felt her anxiety starting to set in, Sunny would push her hand with his nose or curl up beside her, offering her the comfort of his presence. His gentle behavior and unconditional love helped Sarah feel less alone, and for the first time in months, she began to feel like she had a purpose.

One evening, Sarah decided to take Sunny for a walk through the woods near a popular campsite. The sun was setting, and the air was fresh and cool. As they walked deeper into the forest, Sarah's mind wandered to the dark thoughts she had been battling for so long. Suddenly, Sunny stopped in his tracks and started barking furiously, looking alertly at a thick patch of bushes. Sarah felt a surge of panic, wondering what had startled (惊吓)him. But before she could react, Sunny dashed toward the bushes, pulling Sarah along with him.

My Views on Learning on Bilibili

"Directed by Yang Yu, widely known as Jiaozi, the film Ne Zha 2, a massive hit in Chinese cinemas, (break) box office records consistently since its debut, with the box office for the period from Jan. 28 to Feb, 13 (reach) an astonishing 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion)," the China Film Administration announced Wednesday.

(root) in Chinese mythology, Ne Zha 2 retells ancient stories with a modern twist. Born with unique powers, Ne Zha finds (he) as an outcast (被排斥的人) who is feared and even hated. Fated by prophecy (预言) to bring destruction to the world, the boy must choose good and evil.

In addition to the high quality of the animation and its fascinating account, the film also delivers a powerful visual experience. Besides, the success of the first Ne Zha film in 2019,    became the highest-grossing animated film in China at the time, provided solid foundation for the sequel. An associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration noted that the established popularity of Ne Zha, alongside strong IP (recognize), played a critical role in attracting large audiences to expect the sequel.

The movie's representation of complex relationships, especially familial bonds and friendships, empathizes with audiences, (particular) during the Spring Festival, a time when family reunions are a central theme. For many, the film's themes of self-identity, overcoming obstacles, finding one's purpose mirror the personal challenges they face in their own lives.

So, in order to see if no social life would make me more3, I decided to cut out my social life4. For a whole month, I5 all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks, dinners,6 and other non-work related events.

On the first day, I had to deal with some strong7. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I began to8 moments of rest and even boredom throughout the day. Such moments are crucial for9. I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.

However, such10 would be a concern if I remained isolated for too long. While one month of no social life did not impact my relationships with11 clients, if I continued, it might12 my ability to build new ones.

It occurred to me that I can't cut out an area of life in order to lift another - a(n)13 with people is linked to our work and helps us deal with life's ups and downs. We should not strive for a work-life balance.14, we should try to bring our social life into our work. Perhaps the secret to a successful career is learning to15 the two.

Be sincere in your words

Sincerity is the foundation of a great compliment. People can usually tell whether a compliment is genuine or not. . Instead, take the time to find something you truly admire about the person. For example, if you say, "Your hard work on this project really shows. I can see how much effort you've put in," it will be much more meaningful than a casual, insincere "Good job."

A compliment will feel more special when it's clear you've noticed something that really matters to the person you're talking to. For example, if your mother-in-law spends a lot of time cultivating her beautiful flower garden, you could compliment her on her excellent eye for color. Complimenting someone on what they're really good at is a sure way to bring a smile to his or her face every time.

Link to their goals or values

If you know what a person values or what their goals are, you can tailor your compliment accordingly. . For instance, if your friend is passionate about environmental protection and has organized a recycling campaign, you can say, "I really admire your dedication to protecting the environment. This recycling campaign is making a real difference, and it shows how much you care."

Add a positive prediction

Ending your compliment with a positive prediction can make it even more powerful. . For example, "You have a real talent for public speaking. I'm sure you'll be a great speaker in the future and inspire many people."

By following these steps, you'll become a master at making others feel valued and appreciated.

A. Admire their personal achievements

B. Avoid giving forced or insincere compliments

C. It gives the person something to look forward to

D. Don't compliment someone just in complicated words

E. This can make your compliment more relevant and meaningful

F. However, not everyone knows how to give effective compliments

G. A compliment should be in line with the situation and your goals

For companies, the appeal of influencer marketing (营销) lies in its capability to target specific audiences through content creators, alongside consumers' rising social media engagement. Influencer Marketing Hub notes 86% of brands globally plan to invest in influencer campaigns in 2025, up from 37% in 2017, with nearly a quarter committing over 40% of their marketing budgets to such efforts.

However, the influencer boom presents challenges. Goldman Sachs reveals only 4% of influencers earn over $100,000 annually. AI-generated "virtual influencers" like Aitana López - a computer-designed fitness expert with 330,000 Instagram followers - threaten to flood feeds (信息流) further. While small creators with modest (不算多的) followings may earn side income, few can quit their regular jobs. Market overcrowding also makes online fame unstable. Joe Gagliese of Viral Nation warns that even viral moments don't guarantee lasting success: "If influencers don't take advantage of the momentum (势头), someone else will."

Consumer exhaustion adds another hurdle. A 2023 McKinsey survey found 68% of global fashion consumers were critical about the massive amount of sponsored content. Anita Balchandani of McKinsey notes influencers initially gained attention as "trusted" voices, but maintaining veracity alongside paid promotions is now crucial. Seeking this balance is key to staying relevant in an overcrowded market.

Ultimately, while the appeal of influencer careers remains, the reality is tough: as the industry grows, so does the gap between the fascinating dream and real sustainability.

One of the most impressive features of DeepSeek is its ability to analyze vast amounts of data in real time. For example, in healthcare, it has been used to predict disease outbreaks by analyzing patterns in patient data. In finance, it has helped banks find fraud with very high accuracy. Yet, these advancements come with a price. It raises concerns about privacy and consent (允许). Who owns the data being used, and how can we ensure it is not misused?

Another area where DeepSeek has shown promise is in natural language processing (NLP). Its ability to understand and generate human language has made it a valuable tool for translation services. However, critics argue that this technology could be weaponized to spread misinformation or influence public opinions. The recent controversy over AI-generated deepfake videos is also a reminder of the potential dangers.

Despite these challenges, people who support DeepSeek argue that its benefits far outweigh the risks. They point to its potential to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, such as climate change and poverty. For instance, DeepSeek has been used to make smarter cities consume less energy, reducing carbon emissions significantly. In agriculture, it has helped farmers increase crop yields by analyzing soil data.

The debate about DeepSeek's ethical influences is far from settled. Some call for stricter regulations to prevent misuse, while others believe that innovation should not be stopped because of fear. As we move forward, one thing is clear: the future of AI will depend on our ability to pursue balance between progress and responsibility.

A group of seven horses and six soldiers from the Household Cavalry based at Hyde Park barracks (兵营) were on a routine exercise in Belgravia when the chaos erupted. Four soldiers were thrown from their horses and five animals got loose. Three soldiers received hospital treatment, ending up with no sign of serious injuries.

Two horses were seen running loose near Aldwych. One horse crashed into a parked taxi outside the Clermont hotel on Buckingham Palace Road, smashing the windows. A woman passenger, a housewife on her trip back from shopping, had her right arm severely cut. The other horse bumped into a parked double-decker bus, breaking the windscreen.

The London Ambulance Service received three calls from separate locations about the incident, with the first call reporting a soldier being thrown from a horse on Buckingham Palace Road. Civilian witnesses described the crazy scenes. One bystander said: "In front of Victoria station, I saw the horses come charging out of the bus station. They were running around in a total stampede (狂奔). People were running in all directions to avoid them."

The BBC reported that the noise of building machines in Belgravia might have initially panicked the animals. All the horses were eventually brought under control, with three caught on the road and the other two near Limehouse tunnel, around eight miles away.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival

Washington, D. C., March 20—April 14

Eleven species of flowering cherry tree surround the Tidal Basin facing the Potomac River in National Capital Park. Their scenic blooms draw some 1.5 million people during the four week celebration, which celebrates spring and international friendship. Events include a kite festival, parade, fireworks, and art installations.

International Cherry Blossom Festival

Macon, Georgia, March 15—24

Georgia's Macon-Bibb county has the largest concentration of cherry trees in any U. S. county—and boasts nearly one hundred times more than the National Mall in Washington, D. C. The area celebrates its blossoms with plant sales, a parade, concerts, and markets. The festival culminates with tethered hot air balloon rides and fireworks over downtown.

Wooster Square Cherry Blossom Festival

New Haven, Connecticut, April 14

The city's 70-odd cherry blossom trees—most planted in 1978—surround a rectangular park in downtown and form a tree tunnel over one block of Hughes Place. A single-day springtime celebration doesn't always coincide(同时发生) with the best blooms, but it does with the anniversary of the city's founding in 1638, and includes artist and author presentations, food vendors, and live music.

Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival

Marshfield, Missouri, April 25—28

Tiny Marshfield has a population of 7,300 that blooms with its cherry blossoms each April. Instead of a traditional spring or international cultural festival, this cherry blossom gathering is a showcase of Americana and Missouri heritage beneath the town's beautiful blooms.

My day started just like all the other days for the past 15 years where I get up, make some coffee, shower, get dressed, and leave for the train station at precisely 7:35 A.M. to arrive at work by 8:30．While on the train, I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I could read the newspaper in peace and quiet.

At work, I am always burdened with questions from co-workers, suppliers, telephone calls, and then those dreaded meetings, so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and start small talk.

I don't know why, but for some reason, when I got on the train today, it was unusually full. With hesitation, I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn't notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor.

Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown, I found myself wondering what this man was thinking about. What could be so important that he didn't even see me sitting next to him? I tried to forget about it and started to read my paper. However, for some strange reason, this "inner voice" kept prompting me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the "voice" as there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger.

As you probably guessed, I eventually broke down and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When he raised his head and turned his eyes toward me, I could see that he must have been really upset as he had red eyes and still had some tears rolling down the side of his face, despite his feeble attempt to wipe them away. I can't describe the sadness I felt seeing someone in so much pain.

We talked for about 20 minutes, and in the end, he seemed to be doing better. As we were leaving the train, he thanked me heartily for being an "angel" by taking the time to talk. I never did find out what was making his heart so heavy with pain, but I was glad I listened to the "voice" that day.

The Emei Kung Fu Girls, a female Kung Fu group consisting of nine Gen-Z members who are passionate about traditional Chinese martial arts, has gone viral on China's social media.

Ling Yun, the core member of the group, is also an inheritor of Emei martial arts, and other members are skilled in Emei Kung Fu techniques. Short (video) of them performing Emei martial arts have effectively promoted the intangible cultural heritage. In their first promotional video, they wear green uniforms and perform various Emei Kung Fu techniques against the backdrop of Mount Emei in southwest China's Sichuan Province, (demonstrate) the unique charm of Emei martial arts, which (date) back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

Ling, who began to learn martial arts at the age of 4, realized that preserving and spreading Emei martial arts culture couldn't rely (mere) on practitioners' training, and Emei Kung Fu should be promoted in a way that appeals to modern aesthetics (reach) both domestic and international audiences. Therefore, forming a group of versatile talents who could make Emei martial arts culture thrive in modern society became priority.

As a result, the Emei Kung Fu Girls group was officially launched at the (four) Emei Martial Arts Inheritance Conference on April 29,2024. The group has cracked the code of social media success by carving out its distinctive style. Their costumes strike a perfect balance between practicality and grace and combine traditional elements modern aesthetics, featuring ink-green and red color schemes, cloud patterns, and (innovate) cutting techniques.
