The room was filled with anger. We couldn't stay together for a single minute8 a phone call came. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her cover (被子), sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through9. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I even didn't notice Lily had10. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."

Travelling can certainly cause a lot of stress, which can take different forms for different people. By learning them you can enjoy your trip to the fullest.

Understand where your anxiety comes. To cope with your travel anxiety, you need to have a good understanding of the things that actually cause it. Find specifically what is making you feel anxious about your trip.

Plan out your trip in as much detail as possible. One of the reasons for anxiety is that you're being taken out of your comfort zone and won't have full control over everything. It's equally important to think of alternative plans (替换方案) of action for anything that could not go as planned.

The success of the project, which has been praised by the UN Environment Programme as an "eco-pioneer", sets an example for successful desertification control and ecosystem improvement based on effective government policies, supported by investment (投资) in the eco-industry and combined with the efforts of local farmers. These three aspects are key to the success of the "Kubuqi model".

Elion, a private ecology and investment company, has invested about 38 billion yuan ($5.82 billion) in the Kubuqi desert-greening project since 1988 helping to lift about 102,000 local farmers out of poverty. For example, the locals grow a drought-tolerant (耐旱) plant, Chinese licorice (甘草), which is the most used herb in traditional Chinese medicine. The plant helps enrich the desert soil. Besides, Cistanche, another type of drought-tolerant herb, was introduced after the successful planting of licorice. Under the company's guidance and with the local government's support, the local people benefit from the "environmental wealth".

More companies should be encouraged to apply the "Kubuqi model" in other desert control projects in Inner Mongolia and neighboring Gansu province, where the climate conditions are similar but not quite the same, so as to further gain experience and enrich the model in practice. Showing it can be successfully applied in other areas will help promote the model worldwide.

Can you remember the expression you had on your face? Most people will press their lips together and frown (皱眉) when they are doing something they find difficult. This is normally seen as a sign of effort. Now we've found that it can also say more than that.

A recent study at the University of Portsmouth in England suggests that the human expression of effort and frustration is our way of asking others for help.

Scientists at the university gave children and chimpanzees (黑猩猩) an impossible puzzle to work out. When the children couldn't work out the puzzle, their faces expressed determination and effort. The chimpanzees' did not.

Humans and chimpanzees have many facial expressions that share the same meaning. A human smile is the same as a chimpanzee showing its teeth in happiness.

Scientists believe that over time, humans have evolved to use this facial expression to ask for help. We have also learned to respond to it by offering help.

According to Dr. Albert Mehrabian, a well-known professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, only 7% of human communication happens through words and 55% is through body language. Therefore, understanding expressions is second nature to human beings.

With this in mind, next time you see a person with a frustrated expression, listen to your heart and stop to lend them a hand.

Cameron performed his first good deed on January 1st, 2014, with the simple act of greeting a waitress at a cafe he visited. The next day he bought food and drinks for some homeless people. Cameron's good small deeds have been recorded in an online diary, like taking out the garbage for an elderly neighbor or spending a few hours helping a disabled lady pick out a dress for a party. What's more, the young man has also spent close to £4,000 of his own money, buying gifts for children in need.

Cameron has created a series of some cards, which he has called "Cards for Kindness". Each card suggests a simple act of kindness — things like giving a stranger a hug or making peace with an enemy, which is to encourage others to perform good deeds.

Cameron's generosity has not gone unnoticed. To reward the young man as he nears the end of his journey, pizza chain Domino's recently awarded him a year's supply of free pizza. Not surprisingly, the big-hearted young man has decided to use the gift to hold special pizza days for charity. His kind deeds have also won him a competition for the job of "National Philanthropy (慈善事业) Manager".

Sally's birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents' struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, during the break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. "Are you going to have a birthday party this year?" Jane asked, sensing Sally's sadness. "No," Sally sighed and replied sadly, "there's just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties."

She smiled weakly, trying to conceal (掩饰) her extreme disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was scared by Jane's strange actions and turned towards Sarah. "What did she say?" Sally asked. However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.

"What is happening?" Sally wondered anxiously. "Are they keeping something from me?" As Sally's birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with their other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. "Jane has never kept secrets from me before," Sally thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding?

        In 2004, FIFA formally (announce) to the world that soccer originates in Zibo, Shandong province, China. Maybe few people know that this sport is called Cuju in ancient China.

       Cuju is often written as ts'u-chü and translates literally as "kick-ball". The name served as a catch-all (笼统语）to describe a number of different (version) of a game in which the ball was kicked.

       Cuju involved a great degree of complexity and developed over time. It could be played in a team or (individual), and was often played for purely aesthetic (美学的) reasons. The non-competitive version was called baida, with a range of skills that players sought(master). Competitive Cuju featured two teamsobject was to outscore one another.

       A number of books on Cuju were written in the past centuries,some of which have survived. They offer a fascinating insight a wide range of kicks that could be used, as well as the various movements and body postures involved.

     It is little played today except as a minor tourist(attract) and on ceremonial occasions,its vibrant history lives on. In current China, many people choose this game as a way to exercise while (experience) China's traditional culture. Cuju was listed into first batch of China's intangible cultural heritage in 2006

It was 1930, when many people were out of work, money was tight and people suffered a lot. Still, the streets were4 with energy and color. As he walked through Harlem, Jacob looked hard at the people, the churches, and barber shops and so on. He5 those images in his mind, along with the images of paintings he saw in the6.

Jacob came from a poor family so his mother wanted him to aim for something more7. But Jacob's teacher, Alston, in an art program saw that he was talented. Alston8 him how to use paints to make stage sets.

As time passed, Alston let Jacob rent work space in his own studio. That was an exciting place for a young black man9 to become an artist. Many creative people10 there to talk about art, literature and history. From their11, Jacob learned that history books often ignored the accomplishments of African Americans. He decided to paint a series of pictures describing the story of a black hero. He12 Toussaint, who had helped free his people from French ruling.

Many people admired Jacob's pictures, but he needed13 admiration. To help his family, he often had to work at jobs that14 him away from painting. Then something encouraging happened. An artist named Augusta got Jacob a job. For eighteen months, Jacob was given a(n)15 to paint pictures. For the first time, he felt like a professional artist.

The invention of the mobile phone and mobile technology was incredible. Here we highlight the most common ones that technology is changing our lives today.

● Mobile technology has changed how we communicate.

The advancement of technology has made communication unbelievably fast and convenient.

In the past, writing a letter or finding a wired telephone was the best way to communicate remotely with someone. You can send them a message on social media, text them, video chat, email, or put a call through.

● Mobile technology creates the "Everything" device.

With many businesses mobile technologies have brought about, there are some products that they have made out of date. Now just one device has replaced the portable (便携式的) music player, alarm clock, GPS, calculator, camera, flashlight, calendar and much more.

● Mobile technology leads to ever-present distraction.

In many places, it's a common sight to see just about everyone with a mobile phone within arm's reach. In the first two ways listed above, that can be useful. As mobile technologies have become more and more widespread in today's society, research has begun to connect heavy day-to-day use with a number of side effects, the majority of which are related to mental health.

We should accept that mobile technologies are here to stay and improve our lives for the better in spite of its shortcomings. In my opinion, its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages.

A. We cannot ignore its disadvantages.

B. All in all, mobile devices greatly benefit our lives.

C. However, instant access is not always a good thing.

D. While these things do still exist, they are no longer absolutely essential.

E. Nowadays, you are blessed with more efficient options at your fingertips.

F. The conventional way of doing shopping has also changed beyond imagination.

G. Since then, advances in mobile technology have shaped our lives in various ways.

Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?

In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.

A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.

Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."

The new review, by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester, says zoos have made great improvements in recent years, but closer observation of animal behaviour - a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment, developed in farming - could show even more about their state of mind.

An animal's positioning of its body, facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited, calm, interested, nervous, relaxed, etc.

"Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals, and they will often recognise an animal's state of mind by its behaviour and body language," said Dr. Paul Rose, of the University of Exeter.

"What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this, carried out over time.

"Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos. For example, lions have a lot of facial expressions, and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind. This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets, feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept."

Dr. Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and is now examining how the swans (天鹅) there might show their state of mind through their behavioural expression.

"We're looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat, which could show what they're feeling." he said. "When they're unsure, they appear to move less and be more careful, and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies."

The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos. "Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years, and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals," Dr. Rose said.

The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.

There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of all, there are no huts (棚屋) or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to make my own route with GPS and maps.

In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there're not many places to shelter from it because there are hardly any trees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear (装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.
