I'd always been the responsible one in our friendship. Jake was brilliant but sometimes seemed absent-minded. As his best friend since kindergarten, it somehow became my job to keep him on track. People even joked that I was his personal assistant — always the one carrying backup pens and reminding him of due dates. But in most cases, I was shy, and my heart beat fast and my palms sweated when I spoke in public.

Jake's creativity, however, was amazing. One time, he came up with the idea of building a mini solar-powered car. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he sketched out the design on a piece of paper, his pencil moving so fast that I could barely keep up. I watched in amazement as he carefully assembled the parts, his fingers skillfully connecting wires and attaching tiny motors. When the car finally moved under the sunlight, his face lit up with pride. His success was a mix of pure joy and a bit of disbelief — he had never imagined his unique ideas could be so well-received.

His idea won him special innovation awards and honors at school, and he was featured in the local newspaper. Despite his forgetfulness in daily life, his mind was always buzzing with brilliant ideas that had the potential to change things.

When our school announced the science fair, I knew right away we had to join. Jake had the creative ideas, and I could make sure everything actually got done. We decided to build a smart alarm clock — Jake would design the app, and I would take care of the building.

Weeks passed, and Jake kept coming up with cool new features to add. Meanwhile, I spent every afternoon in the garage, putting pieces together, and double-checking our model. The night before the fair, just as I was testing the final version, Jake texted: "Forgot to tell you: I've got invited to an art camp tomorrow. You can present without me, right? "

Hiking offers all the cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits of walking, but the rough road does more to strengthen the leg and core muscles, which in turn boosts balance and stability. If you want to build upper-body strength, you can wear a weighted backpack and use trekking poles.

One small 2015 study found that people who walked in nature for 90 minutes were less likely to be at a risk factor for depression — than those who walked in an urban environment. Even short hikes can reduce tension and improve mood.

Choosing the right trail can make your experience more enjoyable. Some trails are easy and suitable for beginners, while others are more challenging. Many experienced hikers suggest starting with well-marked paths before attempting more difficult routes.

While the rewards are great, hiking does carry some risks. Taking a few simple safety precautions can help to ensure you get back safe and sound. Hiking alone can be peaceful, but it is often safer to go with a group or a friend. Leave a note on your car dashboard with your route so if you're not back by sunset, rangers will know where to find you. To avoid injury, don't push yourself too hard or fast through more challenging trails.

A. Spending time in nature is linked to lower stress.

B. It also generally burns more calories than walking.

C. Wearing proper hiking shoes can improve comfort.

D. A growing number of people prefer to hit the trails.

E. Remember: the point is to see the views and smell the flowers.

F. Checking the trail's difficulty in advance is vital to ensure a suitable trip.

G. Unlike run, hiking lets people slow down and admire their surroundings.

"I was absolutely thrilled to learn that such a thing even existed, that you can generate your own power and be more independent, " said Ms. Berg, a retiree who installed several panels on the balcony of her Berlin apartment by herself.

Each lightweight panel produces only enough electricity to charge a laptop or run a small refrigerator. But in homes across Germany, they are powering a quiet transformation, bringing the green revolution into the hands of people without requiring them to make a large investment, find an electrician or use heavy tools.

Over 500, 000 of the systems have already been set up across Germany, and new laws that relaxed rules around solar panel installation have contributed to a boom in use.

"We are seeing a continuous increase in solar installations in particular, " said Klaus Müller, president of the agency. "Compared to the total capacity at the end of 2023, almost 10 percent more solar capacity was added. Of that, two-thirds was installed on buildings, which includes balcony systems. "

"Some of the solar panels sold in Germany are made by European companies, but most are produced in China, " said Nicholas, an analyst with Rystad Energy. "Small-scale panels have benefited from the same economies of scale that China's solar manufacturing system has at its disposal. "

"We are seeing more diversity, more older people and more women, " said Christian, founder of an enterprise that promotes small-scale solar use. A growing user group is young people with families who are concerned about climate change.

"They say they want to make a contribution, " Mr. Christian said. "Even if it amounts to savings of less than €100 a year, they will gladly take it because it's for the next generation. "

Ms. Khazan's goal is to transform herself, over the course of one year, from a disagreeable introvert into a sunnier, livelier, more friendly extrovert. An enjoyable life seems well worth a bit of effort. She forces herself to take risks in improvisational comedy. She sets about throwing parties. She practices mindfulness. She feeds the homeless.

While exploring "the science and promise of personality change", the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self. She admits joylessness and short-temper. Her openness has the effect of getting readers on her side. We're supporting her and, to be honest, we're supporting ourselves, too.

Yet let's say we can: Let's say we manage to adjust our big-five personality qualities so that we enhance our positive parts and reduce our deficiencies. How would we even know? One of the difficulties that any self-reformer faces is in measuring how much change his or her efforts have achieved. Ms. Khazan gets around this problem by regularly assessing her personality via a particular academic website. She uses the site's free questionnaire, takes the test again and tracks the changes regularly.

There is a lot of common sense here. Fake it until you make it. Your emotions follow your actions. Also: Other people are paying less attention to you than you imagine. It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan's stories, though rich in funny real-life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it's an entertaining read — and encouraging too.

Sara stops walking and points excitedly over the drystone wall into the field beyond. There, walking among the wandering sheep, is a lapwing, the official bird of the North Pennines. "They are brilliant," Sara says, a smile across her face as she watches the small bird peck grass. Early spring marks the return of lapwings to Teesdale, where Sara's family has lived for two decades.

Sara is out for one of her regular walks for inspiration, making drafts and mental notes to help her with her work. She specializes in making life-size bird sculptures out of wire, and some of her sculptures are installed on a nature road around Durham Wildlife Trust's reserve at Low Barns near Bishop Auckland.

"It's about drawing attention to certain birds," she says, adding: "A lot of the birds I've made have been endangered or are on the red list."

"I'm very conscious the birds that come up here are dropping in number. The environmental impact of what we do on birds is pretty severe, so anything I can do that makes people feel emotion or interest when they look at a sculpture is good for the environment."

Sara has science degrees from Aberystwyth, Sheffield and Durham, including one in zoology. But she also has a lifelong love of art and passion for creating things. Chirpy, one of the birds she made, recently spent a few weeks in London as part of the Royal Society of British Artists annual exhibition.

"It was an absolute treat to go down and they displayed him beautifully," Sara says, "People said to me ‘can you bear to let him go' and I was thinking ‘yeah, absolutely', because that' s the point of making these things."

A taste of The Sound of Music

Guests staying at the Hotel Hyperion can have a three-course meal inspired by The Sound of Music — thanks to Michael Daus, the executive chef of Gaumenfreund, the hotel's on-site restaurant. Part art, part sculpture, and part deconstruction, each component of the meal is a nod to the movie, Alpine culture, or the original Trapp family.

Take a singing bicycle tour

Ideal for a family, Maria's Bicycles offers a 3. 5-hour singing bicycle tour through all the major movie locations. Photo stops include the Mozart Bridge (where Maria and the children point at their favorite sights), Mirabell Gardens (from the famous "Do-Re-Mi" song), and the Felsenreitschule — the theater where the family sings "So Long" after winning the 1938 Salzburg Summer Festival.

Stay at Schloss Leopoldskron

Fans can check into Schloss Leopoldskron where scenes were filmed, including when viewers see Baron von Trapp and Baroness Schraeder drink pink lemonade, Maria and the children fall out of their boat, and Maria return from the abbey. However, the Venetian ballroom, staircase, and main foyer were reproduced in Hollywood.

Recreate a famous scene

Visitors to Salzburg can also take the Mönchsberg elevator or walk three miles to the Winkler Terrace, located by the Modern Museum of Salzburg. Fans can recreate the "Do-Re-Mi" scene. The view of the Salzach River and the old city center make a perfect backdrop for an Instagram-worthy snapshot.
