High school is a critical stage for building academic foundations and lifelong learning skills. While many students spend hours studying, only those with effective habits achieve steady progress.

High school life is full of various extracurricular activities and competitions, which may hold back your regular study. A consistent study schedule is key to keeping learning on track — dedicate 30-45 minutes of focused study daily. This small daily commitment can train your brain to concentrate more easily over time. Besides, prioritize tasks wisely: focus on difficult subjects when energetic and finish key tasks first to boost efficiency.

Every student has unique preferences for a productive study environment. A tidy and personalized space helps you get into the learning zone faster. Keep your desk tidy with only essential supplies to stay focused and reduce stress.

Note-taking is more than copying classroom content; well-structured notes boost study efficiency. Try these techniques in your daily study routine, such as separating main points from details, using mind maps, and highlighting key information for easy review.

Set specific and achievable goals instead of vague plans. Memory fades over time, and without active revision, you can lose up to 70% of new information within 24 hours. Regular revision counteracts this natural forgetting process. Meanwhile, don't ignore self-care. Aim for 8 to 9 hours of sleep every night to keep your energy high. Taking part in school sports can help you focus better, and eating healthy snacks can keep your energy up while studying.

A. Stick to a regular schedule and prioritize tasks.

B. Focus on easy subjects first to save time and energy.

C. Copy all classroom content to avoid missing key points.

D. These essential study habits help you study smarter and reduce stress.

E. Adopt practical note-taking methods to make your notes well-structured.

F. Spend 10-15 minutes reviewing notes after studying to reinforce memory.

G. Choose a quiet study area or play soft background music based on your preference.

One of the most immediate dangers is choking from tapioca pearls. A 2019 study documented a case where a teenager needed emergency surgery to remove a pearl stuck in her airway. The study identified 16 similar choking incidents in medical literature. The pearls' size and common use of wide straws encourage swallowing without proper chewing, creating a real risk, especially for children.

The well-documented high sugar level is another major concern. A typical serving can contain shockingly high amounts of sugar, sometimes exceeding 50 grams. This far surpasses the World Health Organization's recommended daily intake of free sugars. Regular consumption is strongly linked to an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Some national food agencies have even categorized bubble tea as a "sugar-sweetened beverage" subject to public health warnings.

Beyond sugar, the drink often contains considerable amounts of caffeine and food additives. The caffeine, primarily from tea base, can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and palpitations, especially in young people. A 2023 Taiwanese study found that some bubble teas contained enough caffeine to exceed the recommended daily limit for adolescents in just one serving. Furthermore, additives like thickeners and artificial flavors, while approved for use, raise questions about long-term health effects when consumed frequently.

While an occasional bubble tea is unlikely to cause harm, the combination of choking risks, extreme sugar content, and potential overconsumption of caffeine and additives presents a serious public health challenge. Understanding these hidden risks is crucial for making informed choices, particularly for younger, frequent consumers.

Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria's smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. Ogbole says they are working hard to end the seasonal food shortage in Nigeria. "It is just farming anytime during the year, meaning we can plant crops anytime during the year, and we can harvest anytime during the year."

But setting up the aeroponics farm was not easy. It required more than $180,000. And people in Abeokuta boycotted this nontraditional method of farming. It took a lot of effort to change those people's minds about it. In fact, in Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 million hectares required for food security. In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation that worries traditional farmers. Aeroponics, however, does not require traditional farm work or much land. Nutrients for the plants are controlled by a recycling system, greatly increasing productivity.

Dr. Phillip Ojo, Director-General of the National Agricultural Seeds Council, says the government welcomes the new farming method. Ojo notes that with aeroponics, farmers can quickly increase planting materials.

The agricultural industry represents about 40 percent of Nigeria's economy. The government wants to greatly expand this percentage. For now, most farmers lack the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They also need access to high-quality seeds to guarantee (保证) better harvests. Technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.

At the age of 44, she started a new donated milk center. That year, Tiruppur's Government Medical College Hospital asked her team for help to provide milk to premature, abandoned babies or those whose mothers couldn't feed them due to illness. Many migrant workers in Tiruppur's textile industry, who make up half of the 60,000 workers and live a hard life, often abandon their babies.

Initially unaware of these babies' difficult situations, Kumar was deeply moved after seeing a 600-gram baby in the newborn care unit. She resolved to collect breast milk wherever possible. Making use of her network, she collects milk even from 300 km away in Bangalore, and provides expensive pumps and pouches to donating mothers.

Convincing women to donate was tough; some families opposed it. Kumar avoids pushing them, but some women secretly donate milk without their family's knowledge. Once, a man contacted her, and his wife donated 117 litres of milk over nine months. The hospital says 25% of babies in the newborn care unit benefit from the donated milk.

Today, Kumar's donated milk center has become a great support for countless weak babies in Tiruppur. What started as a personal journey to fill the emptiness in her own life has grown into a mission that brings warmth and hope to families in need.

Lijiang Ancient Town

The Lijiang Ancient Town has been a major commercial, political and cultural center of the Naxi people for over eight centuries. It is well-known for the Naxi people's native Dongba culture and their deep spiritual connection to nature. Snow-capped mountain vistas, ancient architecture and streets, clear canals and waterways, together with the Naxi people and their distinct culture, combine to make Lijiang leave a lasting cultural value to humankind.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Looking north from the Lijiang Ancient Town 15 kilometers away, the snow-covered mountain surrounded by clouds looks like a jade dragon lying in the clouds, hence the name Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It is a natural habitat for rare animals and wild plants, and in fact, one fourth of all plants in China can be found here, growing in different temperature levels and creating varied views.

Stone Forest, Kunming

Located in Shilin Yi autonomous county of Kunming, Yunnan's capital, the Stone Forest scenic area is famous for its unique karst landscape and long complex geological history. Listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, it covers 350 square kilometers near Kunming, with tree-shaped stalagmite-like rocks formed 270 million years ago, known as the "Sculpture Museum of Nature".

Honghe Hani Rice Terraces

The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, a cultural heritage site, is located in Yuanyang county, Honghe prefecture. Covering about 666.67 square kilometers with a history of more than 1,300 years, it is the product of a special farming method and reflects the Hani people's unique traditions and religious views. It was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2013.

It was 2009 when I'd just finished graduate school. Acting as an assistant music professor at several colleges while also working with a couple of nonprofits, I was constantly on the move. Even though I loved each place I worked, I always felt like a passing stranger-never truly getting to know anyone, never quite belonging to the community. I was just rushing in and out, a spinning top with no time to slow down.

One morning, I was heading to teach at one of the colleges, a guitar over my back and two bags in each hand. My mind was racing with lesson plans. Suddenly, I tripped, falling to the ground. The plastic container holding my homemade chili flew out of my bag and exploded in the biggest mess. It wasn't a busy time of day on campus, so I was left to clean up the chili without any witnesses and with little success. Staring at the disaster, I felt a wave of despair hit me. "What am I even doing?" I thought. "How did my life end up like this? What's the point of teaching at all these places?" A sense of loneliness washed over me, as if the world had shrunk to just me and that spilled chili.

But my next class started in minutes, and I had eight straight hours of work ahead. There was no time for self-pity. I took a deep breath, pulled myself together, and hurried into the classroom

After hours of teaching, my 15-minute lunch break finally arrived. I rubbed my empty stomach, wondering how I'd find something to eat before my next class. That's when the surprise came.

I'd thought no one had seen what happened in the morning, but I was wrong. A kind woman from the registrar's office had watched it all from her window. She must have looked me up, figuring out who I was.

I thanked her, hung up, stood4 with the raw chicken still in hand. All felt like a5. I knocked at my new neighbor's door, handed her the chicken, told her my husband was probably6, and ran off to call a taxi.

I sat in the back of my7 ride, speed-dialing favorites on my phone, telling what had happened to the first human who8. I arrived at the emergency room to find Paul9 drugged (麻醉中), but alive. He was ready for the operation.

Forty-eight hours later, he emerged from10— and I emerged into a tornado of Jersey11 Someone, somehow, had filled our fridge. Some food12 it to me in the ICU. Day after day, calls and texts13.

Well, it's not as simple as you might think. There's so much more to it than simply emptying drawers and choosing a few things to throw away. In this article, we will focus on several things that might be difficult to part with and how you can finally let go of them.

Old schoolwork, notebooks, and random paper items

I used to save all my old schoolwork and notes until a basement flood washed them away. At first, shock kicked in, then sadness. I never opened them after graduation. Lesson learned. I didn't need them but was attached to them instead. This was a great lesson in emotional decluttering. It's best to store them on your phone or computer to free yourself of the clutter.

Your book collection

Nowadays, we all tend to purchase digital books that are far easier to store and catalog. But if you were like me and had several bookshelves filled with books, you can declutter them. Sort them into two piles, keep and donate. Of course, keep anything that has meaning to you and donate your books to your neighborhood HOA or local library.

Plus, creating your new digital library is fun and exciting. It will also allow you to choose from some audiobooks if you never tried them.

A. But that flood did me a favor.

B. That flood caused great damage to the community.

C. Unfortunately, most people think decluttering is easy.

D. At the same time, remember to buy only classic books.

E. So, if you have such things, you can scan or take pictures of them.

F. Of course, that doesn't mean getting rid of everything in your home.

G. Either way, you can develop a sense of freedom by unloading your book collection.

But scientists in India combed through vocal (声音的) recordings of birds in the rainforest. They say they didn't find evidence to back up this idea.

The researchers didn't definitively point to one reason for why the dawn chorus is happening, but they found support for ideas that the early morning sounds relate to birds marking their territory after being inactive at night, and communicating about finding food.

The team analyzed recordings from audio recorders placed at 43 locations in the Western Ghats mountain range in southern India, which is known as a biodiversity hotspot. They examined sounds of what they determined were 69 different species of birds. They studied recordings from the hours around dawn and the hours around dusk to compare activity.

Unsurprisingly to anyone who has been woken up by bird calls, the "vast majority" of species they studied had "significantly higher" vocal activity at dawn compared to dusk. They found that birds that were more territorial, and those with an omnivorous (杂食的) diet, were more vocal at dawn rather than dusk.

And when it comes to food, birds are engaging in a lot of communication about where resources are, or often whether there is a predator (天敌) nearby. They speculate that a reason that omnivorous birds have a "marginally higher" level of vocal activity at dawn is because they often participate in flock "hunting parties" that more often happen at dawn. But as to why those hunting parties happen at dawn to begin with, they aren't sure.

The researchers note they only studied birds in one particular tropical region in India. They didn't observe the birds visually, and didn't record exactly when dawn and dusk started. They just used estimated times.

"Even I didn't expect what some of these numbers and future predictions look like," says Sarah Baird, a co-chair of the Lancet Commission that produced the report. "It's clear we're already in, and going to be increasingly in, a crisis of bad health among young people."

Lancet Commissions are independent research teams called together by The Lancet to examine specific health topics and recommend policy actions. This report was produced by 44 experts, including ten Youth Commissioners, who reviewed some 550 peer-reviewed studies before putting pen to paper.

"What life is like as a teenager today is very different than ten years ago," says Baird. "Given all these other competing demands for resources, attention, and focus, adolescents have once again fallen into the background. It's time to really remind people of why they're important, and that ignoring them in this time of rapid change is potentially disastrous."

Though there is some good news in the report's findings-declining rates of cigarette smoking and alcohol use and better access to education, particularly for girls-the report warns that the health of young people is at "a tipping point" in an uncertain and rapidly changing world. And a hotter, more unstable climate is among the top concerns.

"I think it's hard for people to fully recognize what a hotter world means for health and well-being," says Baird. "Young people are going to be around a lot longer than the older generation, and they have the most to lose from not investing in the future. Unfortunately, they're not often the ones who are in the seat of power to make these decisions."

Yet for some, that dream never faded. At just 21, Snehadeep Kumar from Bengal, is turning his childhood fascination into reality. Along with Mohit Kumar Nayak, a Computer Science student, they are working to democratise (大众化) space research, starting with building India's first gamma-ray detection CubeSat through their student-led space startup, "Nebula Space Organisation".

Their story is not just about chasing dreams but about making them accessible to others, too.

Snehadeep's journey began in Grade 1, when his father handed him an encyclopedia (百科全书) and switched the television to the Discovery Channel. Space, in all its vastness and mystery, interested him immediately.

By Grade 9, Snehadeep had built a model to demonstrate groundwater replenishment (补给) using seeds for a science exhibition. A teacher's unintentional comment — that he should publish his work-planted another seed: what if there was a scientific journal that welcomed work from high-schoolers, students often sidelined by academic publishing?

Three years later, that idea took form as Aurora Academy Journal. Fueled by connections made through Discord, Snehadeep gathered a global team of like-minded teenagers who created a platform for young researchers to publish their research worldwide.

In October 2021, Nebula Space Organisation was officially born. By the time Snehadeep entered college in 2022, they had a physical presence. There, he met Mohit Kumar Nayak, who shared his dream. They decided to build something monumental together and eventually made a gamma-ray detection CubeSat, a mini satellite using local material, reducing the expense by 125%.

While many see space as the final frontier reserved for billion-dollar companies and excellent scientists, Snehadeep and Mohit believe otherwise. They are proof that innovation doesn't need well-equipped labs or massive budgets. As they prepare to test the India's first gamma-ray CubeSat, built by students, they're not just reaching for the stars-they're building a bridge so that countless others can, too.

Stadtbibliothek

You know those stairs that look straightforward but, upon closer inspection, seem to go up as well as down? These stairs may well have been the inspiration for the public lending library in the southern city of Stuttgart in Germany. The white building is Instagrammable from all sides with its minimalist design, but add books and an interesting set of stairs, and you have one of the most stylish libraries in the world.

Bodleian Library

Not only the main research library for Oxford University and one of the oldest libraries in the world, the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England has other claims to fame as well. The library hold 13 million printed items, including examples of the Gutenberg Bible, dating back some 560 years. Due to their uniqueness and value, many of the books are protected by electricity but can be seen during an official guided tour.

Philological Library

This library, which deals with the study of language and words, is a beautiful building of Germany, and part of the Free University of Berlin campus. Not only is the building filled with books about words, but it is also intelligent: the airflow is generated by the roof and ceiling structures, and the temperature is naturally regulated.

Gladstone Library

Hawarden is a small town in northern Wales, but it has one claim to fame: the Gladstone Library. Located in a huge Victorian house in a perfect countryside setting, it is the only residential library offering rooms to stay overnight in. Twenty-six historic rooms, a restaurant, and countless books-20,000 of which are from Gladstone's personal library, which was housed in nearby Hawarden Castle, where he lived.

When I arrived in China to teach law, I didn't expect (come) home with so much tea. Nor did I expect what the tea would come to mean.

The meaning became (vivid) clear to me in Chengdu. There, my students and I sat for tea in Daci Temple. They made it carefully, (perform) each step from memory. When I asked why they washed the cups and poured away the (one) cup of tea, they hesitated. It's what their parents and grandparents do and they learned it them, they said. The tradition was about continuity — repeating a gesture countless hands had done before. A quiet ceremony of connection.

In moments like this, I saw something I rarely encounter in the US — a drink that commands respect for its meaning. In the West, tea (see) as a functional drink — something to energize or calm. But in China, tea goes beyond this. It is relational. It is ceremonial. Even when shared casually between friends, it (carry) an unspoken respect.

As China becomes more (center) to global cultural conversations, its tea traditions deserve greater global attention. Not just as a drink, but as an expression of history, hospitality (好客), and human connection. When a student gives you tea from their home province, what they're really giving you is look at who they are, where they're from, and how they stay connected to it.

Inspired by colleagues in other medical fields, Mirza Melo, an eye doctor for animals in Brazil, decided to try using tilapia skin to treat eye problems in dogs. She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. "These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces," she says. "So they get injured often."

Normally, doctors treat these eye injuries by placing a piece of horse placenta (胎盘) over the damaged area to help it recover. But in 2019, Melo tried using tilapia skin instead. She successfully treated a Shih Tzu (a species of dog) with a severe eye injury.

Brazil's Burn Support Institute and the Federal University of Ceará, which started the Tilapia Skin Project to treat burns, supported her work. With their help, Melo developed a special membrane (膜) called the acellular dermal matrix (ADM), made from pure collagen taken from tilapia skin.

Collagen is known to help cells grow and repair tissues. Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish's life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse's age and weight.

So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat.

Ten-year-old Josh came from a poor family. His mother was a part-time cleaner and his father fixed small appliances for his neighbors. Though the family's clothes were faded and patched (打补丁的), and the rent was a constant worry at the end of the month, Josh's parents always taught him that honesty cost nothing but was worth everything.

One afternoon, Josh walked his bike to old Mr. Black's repair shop. The chain was broken again, and Mr. Black, who was familiar with their struggles — charged only two dollars for the repair. Before Josh left, Mr. Black warned that the frame was nearly worn out. Josh thanked him and promised to ride carefully.

On the way home, Josh discovered something at the bus stop — a thick envelope half-buried in snow. He picked it up and took a look inside. His eyes widened. It was full of cash, more money than he'd ever seen: Hundreds of dollars, maybe thousands.

His first thought was about his mother's worn-out shoes and the rent that was due. He could slip the envelope into his jacket, and no one would know. But then he remembered his father's words: "We might be poor, Josh, but we must be honest." His heart raced as he weighed the wrong that was easy against the right that was hard. Then he sat down on the frozen bench, holding the envelope tightly, and waited.

An hour passed, then two. Josh's toes grew numb (麻木的) as the setting sun painted the sky orange and pink. Occasionally, strangers walked by, eyeing him curiously, but he just held the envelope tighter. A woman asked if he was okay, but he simply shook his head and stayed put. His nose was red from cold, and he shivered uncontrollably, but he didn't move. Finally, just as Josh began to worry about his parents' concern, a black car stopped. Then a man named Eason in a suit jumped out, urgently scanning (察看) the ground.
