Recently, a traditional village in China has been transformed into a modern eco-resort that offers many activities and spaces. Architects Jones and Jack from HIMMdesign have redesigned the Saeseur eco-tourist village (use) the "One Belt, One Road" strategy. This strategy (focus) on connections and cooperation between China and other countries.

(locate) near Chongqing city, the project is the starting point of the Silk Road economic belt. Chongqing is also key point for the 21st-century Oceanic Silk Road connects China's inland areas with the rest of the world. Combining an element from local architecture and taking advantage of a special landscape, the team divided the various buildings and facilities into categories housing, entertainment, art etc.

The design combines traditional and modern elements, with references to the silk industry and raw silk production. The silk clothes and (relate) production in Chongqing are the inspirational elements for this project. The main idea is (keep) the existing forms of the villages and existing homes give a modern decoration. Included are a multi-media center, wellness and spa facilities, art (gallery), green homes, a hotel and childcare facilities.

Many businessmen often underestimate the importance of nonverbal communication — which is often half the message. Imagine how much more effective your next meeting with your boss could be if only you give your nonverbal communication a little attention. These four tips can help you avoid that common mistake so you can use your body language to gain an advantage in your career.

Triple Nod to Show You're Engaged

One way you can do this non-verbally is to use the triple head nod. Three quick, small nods in a row is the nonverbal sign for "tell me more" or "I hear you, explain." It is a great way to show that you are interested and involved.

Don't Underestimate the Power of the Hands

Our hands speak volumes about who we are. Our brain pays attention to hands more than any other body part because we have evolved to look at them as a safety tool to make sure people won't attack us. Whenever you have meetings, keep your hands above the table.

Stop Using Nervous Behaviors

Learn to stop displaying nervous body language so you don't risk appearing anxious or incompetent. The most common behaviors are: wringing hands, rubbing arms, biting lips.

Ask a friend to tell you if they notice you're displaying any of the above behaviors. Once you know what they are, you can take actions to stop them.

Mirror Other People

Professionals who mirror clients' body language are more successful than those who don't. If you're a fast-talker, slowing down your speech to match the person you're talking to helps put you on the same level. Copying someone's closed off body language or negative tone will only increase the tension between you.

A. Of course, only follow positive behaviors.

B. Hold your body in a similar way as they do.

C. Show you are interested in the people you speak with.

D. Focus on keeping your body there unless you need to use it.

E. You'll be able to use the crucial tool for delivering messages.

F. Sometimes it can be hard to identify what your signs of anxiety are.

G. Most people plan what they will say, but they ignore their body language.

Currently, about a third of the world's farmland is used to grow vegetable oils. This area is expanding, contributing to deforestation, global warming and wildlife loss. According to Thomas Wanger from Westlake University in Hangzhou, China, the environmental impact of six main oil crops — soya, palm, rapeseed, sunflower, peanut, and olive — results in an estimated 1.2 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, primarily due to fertilizer use and deforestation.

Wanger's team explored the environmental benefits of replacing some of these crops with Camellia oleifera. This plant can yield up to 2.8 tonnes of oil per hectare, second only to palm oil, and can grow in poor soil and on steep hillsides. Camellia oil is rich in oleic acid (油酸), which may lower heart disease risk and has a higher smoke point than many oils, reducing harmful chemical formation during cooking.

If camellia were grown on 11% of the land currently used for other oil crops, it could produce the same oil volume while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions by 14%, water use by 5%, land use by 7%, and pesticide use by 9%. However, these figures would depend on how camellia is grown, says Wanger, "The benefits depend strongly on where it is planted and to replace what."

Government action would probably be needed to encourage a camellia oil market, says Wanger. "The price currently is very high, and so I think the consumer might be a bit hesitant." "The commercial reality is that new oil crops won't achieve a large market share unless production can compete in the market," says Christopher at Alternative Fuels Consultancy.

Walker, from Britain, came to China in 2015, drawn by martial arts. While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he developed a curiosity about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of intensive Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine. Now a graduate student specializing in acupuncture, he has treated over a thousand patients. "He is skilled in heartbeat diagnosis (诊断) and acupuncture," says his teacher, Professor Yu Dongdong. "He can practise independently."

Under his Chinese name "Wuyan." Bruno has become an online hit on the video-sharing platform Douyin, gathering over 900,000 followers. Balancing his roles as practitioner and internet celebrity, he presents local culture in fluent Henan dialect (方言), often alongside his local girlfriend. "Your grasp of the Henan dialect is even more authentic than mine," comments one follower. Apparently, his cultural involvement has endeared him to many. He also treated his grandmother's health problems with acupuncture, leading to her swift recovery.

With his growing fan base, Brano feels a responsibility. "Posting videos was just a pastime, but now I want to participate in more meaningful projects," he says. He plans to create bilingual videos promoting TCM and sharing stories of ancient Chinese medical experts. "I'm devoted to spreading awareness of TCM and its far-reaching cultural significance," he adds. Whether in China or Britain, he plans to devote himself to TCM. "I will do anything to help people through TCM. That's my calling."

Building on a child's wonder and curiosity about the natural world, Open OutDoors for Children connects students with national parks, providing learning opportunities that emphasize conservation, sustainability, and interpretation of the parks' cultural and historical resources. Here are a few spots to choose from.

Point Rayes National Seashore

Fourth graders will embrace the great outdoors at the seashore by visiting the native northern elephant seals and gray whales. Marine biologists and wildlife educators will provide students with the tools to engage in personal reflection on the migrations (迁徙) of the animals. Lessons will contain information from local groups and will be available in both English and Spanish.

Salam Maritime National Historic Site

Educators have developed an educational program to help students explore the local history and native experiences. By using natural and cultural resources, they encourage students to interpret the interconnected history of the region.

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn (沉默寡言的) after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent (缺席的) 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate, he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked my effort.

One night I felt so that I got down on my knees and asked for help. "Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you."

I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up (哽咽) and all my disappointment with and sadness about Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school but nothing has worked. It's out of my hands." I listened and, there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster said, "Thank you for your time," and.

Karl's next report card showed an obvious in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll (上荣誉榜). In his fourth year at high school, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I'd play a but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you."

I remember the day I first learned to ride a bike. From my point of view, it was a very adventurous yet fun experience. My grandfather, who had green fingers, was the one that taught me to ride and gave me a hand when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals (脚蹬) and start cycling. I kept his advice in mind. He also told me he would hold on to the back of the bike the whole time case I might fall off the bike. I made an assumption that he would do that, yet actually he didn't.

As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. When I was quite frightened, my mind went blank, and I just wanted to be off the bike. I forgot how to use the brakes (车闸). That caused me to fall off the bike. At sight of that, my grandfather came up and kept encouraging me to get up and try again. I admitted (feel) so nervous.

As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. I didn't make a (complain) and asked my grandfather, "I go on learning to ride today?" My grandfather said, "No, you needn't. So far you (finish) your training. Let's call it a day, shall we? You may as well rise early tomorrow morning." The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better and I became rather(energy) again. I did my best to prevent myself from falling down to the ground anymore. My strong determination was to make an effort to learn to ride my bike skillfully. (eventual), I managed (ride) the bike better.

Al-Attar got two fans at a market and used them to create small wind turbines (涡轮机) to produce electricity. His1 led others in the camp where he stayed to start calling him the "Newton of Gaza". That is2 the English scientist, Isaac Newton. Newton is3 his major4 discoveries in the fields of physics, mathematics and astronomy more than 300 years ago. A famous5 about Newton describes how an apple falling on his head led him to discover the6 of gravity (重力).

Al-Attar and his family are staying in a tent that is7 attached to (附着) a house. He was able to climb onto the roof to8 the two fans, one above the other. The wind could9 the fans, which produced small amounts of electricity. He then connected the fans to wires and built a charging station. Al-Attar also designed switches (开关) to10 a lighting system made out of wood.

Al-Attar tried to design the device but11 twice, and it took him a lot of time to develop a working system. He started developing it further, bit by bit,12 he was able to extend the wires through the room to the tent, so that the tent would have light. He was happy to be able to create something to help reduce "the suffering" of his family members. Now, he is just looking forward to the future when13 can improve in Gaza.

"People in this camp often call me the ‘Newton of Gaza'," Al-Attar said14. "Because I hope to15 my dream of becoming a scientist like Newton and creating things that will help not only the people of the Gaza Strip, but the whole world."

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities for their families' life. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his future life be given so much without having to do anything in return. - things older people have lost interest in because they are too common.

Scovel was actually born in Jining, Shandong province, in 1939 as the son of a doctor from America and later returned to the US. He came back to China in 1979 to take up a teaching position at Tianjin Foreign Studies University.

The former professor, who has written a book about the great changes that have taken place in China since reform and opening-up was introduced in 1978, took to the stage at the university's 60th anniversary celebration on Sept 28 to present a check for 2.2 million yuan ($300,000) to the university for his former student Yang Bin. The donation will go toward a kind of scholarship (奖学金) and awards for teachers, and adds to an earlier 2 million yuan donated by Yang in 2014. The cash was paid to students as awards for exhibiting exceptional leadership, athletic skills and a spirit of being helpful and generous. For the teaching awards, they have been named after Scovel and his wife Janene, who also taught at the university.

Zhou Honglei, the university's leader, recognized Scovel as "one of the first foreign professors to journey from the US to China". Scovel wrote a message for the university's 60th anniversary celebration, reflecting on the late 1970s when China began its journey of reform and opening-up. From 1979 on, Scovel only returned to the university in 2014 for its 50th anniversary.

In one of his writings, he remembered encountering a short political phrase put up on the wall promoting the then popular "four modernizations" on a billboard, which read, "Catch up with and overtake Japan by the Year 2000! " "Little did I know that not long after the new millennium (千年), China would far overtake Japan in terms of exports to the US," he said.

Scovel noted the significant changes in China since 1978. "Forty years ago, it was almost unimaginable that, in today's China, numerous people would have their own houses, have a car and that phones would be more common than fountain pens," he said.

"Geothermal (地热的) " power is based on the heat that comes from deep inside the earth. "Geo" means Earth and "thermal" means "heat". Earth's core, deep in the center of the planet, is about as hot as the sun's surface, and is expected to stay that way for billions of years. This heat slowly makes its way outward from the core. In some places, where the rocks have lots of holes in them, this heat comes out in different kinds of hot springs, with hot water and steam coming out naturally through the earth's surface. In areas like this, humans have been using the earth's heat for different purposes for hundreds of years.

In general, though geothermal energy requires drilling (钻孔) deep into the earth. There are many different ways of collecting the heat and different ways of using it. But these geothermal wells can easily produce huge amounts of heat and electricity for hundreds of years — all without pollution.

There is another positive side to geothermal energy — it can produce power day and night all year long. Solar power depends on the sun, and wind power depends on wind. That means that they are not constant. But energy from geothermal sources is always available (可获得的) . However, geothermal energy also faces a big challenge — drilling down deep enough to create a geothermal plant is hard, and it costs a lot of money. Some geothermal plants require drilling down more than 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) below the earth's surface. Drilling down even deeper can lead to much more heat and far more powerful energy sources.

The costs of all this drilling are a big part of what has limited geothermal projects. But now people are starting to think about a clever idea that could make geothermal energy far cheaper: using oil wells that are already there.

If given a mechanical (机械的) job to do, he would be set to work eagerly. When he was twelve, he became almost uncontrollably interested in clocks and watches. Soon he was repairing clocks and watches for friends.

In 1876, his wife died in childbirth. Henry suffered a blow and decided to get away from the farm as soon as he could. Three years later, he worked as a mechanic in Detroit. One day in 1877, when he first saw a steam-driven locomotive (蒸汽机车), Henry went to the locomotive driver and asked him plenty of questions about the engine's performance. From then on, Henry became crazy about steam engines. Later, with the help of an old co-worker, Henry got an engineer position at the Edison Detroit Electricity Company.

Although Henry quickly became chief engineer at the Detroit power factory, his interest in fuel engines took up his life. He spent most of his spare time trying to build an engine according to his own design. Henry went through the hard way to build an engine by hand from the beginning. It was two years before he succeeded in building a working car. It was unattractive-looking on bicycle wheels and driven by a rubber belt that connected the engine. Henry called it the "Quadricycle (四轮自行车)".
