The smallest loaf of bread

Once there was a serious shortage (短缺，不足) of food in the town. A rich and kind baker called all the poorest children in town to his bakery (面包店) and gave one loaf of bread to each of them and told them to come back every day for bread until the hard days ended.

Rather than being thankful for the baker's kindness, many of the children fought over who would get the largest loaf. They complained, were bitter (愤愤不平的) about their present situation, and were just out for what they could get.

However, among the crowd was a neatly dressed little girl who had a different attitude. Day after day, patiently, she waited for the others to stop fighting, and she gratefully took the smallest loaf. Then, she thanked the baker and happily brought the loaf home to share with her family.

One day, while slicing (把……切成薄片) the bread, her mother found several silver coins inside the loaf. Quite surprised, she showed her daughter what she had discovered in the bread.

The next day, as usual, the children went back to the bakery. Some impatient children couldn't wait to get the bread. Some kept their eyes on the big loaf. Still others were making a noise, taking the baker's kindness and generosity for granted. The little girl also returned. Holding out the palm of her hand, the girl showed the silver coins to the baker and said, "Sir, we found your money inside the loaf of bread that you so generously gave to us. You must have accidentally dropped the coins while you were baking the loaf." This somehow didn't surprise the baker. He got closer to the little girl smilingly and said lovingly, "No, no, my child. I did not make a mistake." Hearing this, the crowd were curious about what would happen and began to quiet down.

Nov. 22, 2023, just before turning 20, Ji Xiaoming received a letter from Cao Yajun, a girl from a middle school in Daye, Hubei province.

The girl was one of the 526 middle school students in Daye took part in a charity project focused on providing psychological (心理的) support to children in the countryside. Lin Lusheng, the project director, (stress) that teenagers in the project are at an age when they begin to meet pressure and go through typical psychological changes. "But many children are less likely (share) their feelings with adults such as parents or teachers, which, if ignored, can lead to psychological problems," he added. According to him, 80 to 90 percent of the (volunteer) of the project are university students in their 20s.

In Cao's letter, she mentioned feelings overcome by schoolwork, asked about (effect) study methods, and was curious about university life. She sincerely responded the letter, sharing details about her educational experiences and university life. Upon (receive) Ji's reply, Cao was overjoyed.

You may anxiously want to be your best self. And here is how.

Live according to your personal values.

Ignoring your core beliefs can make you feel distressed(极为苦恼的) or conflicted. Discover your personal values by listing the things important to you, identifying times you've felt truly happy, and deciding your desire in life. For instance, you might value helping others and being creative..

Do at least one activity you enjoy every day.

Schedule time every day to do something that makes you feel happy. This can help you enjoy life more and become your best self.

It's easier to feel happy if you' re proud of who you are, and knowing your strengths can help. Your strengths might include things like solving math problems, writing, singing, or competing in athletics. Additionally, you might have interpersonal skills, analytical skills, or critical thinking skills. Make a list of your talents, skills, and knowledge. Then, review it often to help you remember how awesome you are.

Work on improving your weaknesses so you can overcome them.

If they trouble you, try to improve them by learning new skills or trying something different, like starting a workout program to improve the fitness level you are unhappy with. In time, you might be able to improve yourself.

Express your emotions so they don't get piled up.

Your feelings are super important. Ignoring them can actually make them worse. Here are some options: talk to someone, write a journal, do something creative or exercise.

A. List your skills to solve your problems.

B. Instead, choose a healthy way to let them out.

C. These emotions will greatly increase your pressure.

D. Recognize your strengths to help you have self-confidence.

E. So you may choose a job in nursing and paint as a hobby.

F. Everyone has shortcomings, so don't feel bad about yours.

G. Similarly, you might be very creative or enjoy teaming with people.

The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The company and other officials say it is the only device (设备) using artificial intelligence(AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.

The device looks like a small table light, which has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user's interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. It can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke.

ElliQ also plays music and provides creative or encouraging sayings. On a video screen that comes with it, it will show different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner's health, and gives reminders to take medicines and drink water. It can also support video calls and contact family, friends, or doctors in an emergency.

Intuition Robotics says none of the conversations are heard by the company, with the information staying on each owner's device.

Charlotte Mather-Taylor is director of the Broward County, Florida, Area Agency on Aging. She said the COVID-19 pandemic and its following results left many older people more disconnected. Her agency has provided 300 ElliQs which, she believes, help the situation. She said, "We've seen very positive results with it. People generally like her and she makes them smile and brings joy."

Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, who studies the effects of loneliness on health, worries that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects but it could make people less likely to seek human communication. She told The Associated Press that the difficult feeling of loneliness should push people to reconnect socially.

She doesn't paint the same subjects as the average 7-year-old girl, either. There are no pictures of Mummy and Daddy, or her friends or school. Ramona prefers abstract (抽象的) art. She does not paint the real world. Instead, she paints her feelings about it in broad sweeps of bright colour. In fact, Ramona is an elephant.

Ramona is not the only artist at the Elephant Safari Park on the Indonesian island of Bali, or in Asia as a whole. Art comes naturally to them, "For many years, zookeepers have known that elephants both in zoos and in the wild will pick up sticks and doodle in the dirt," says Mia Fineman, an art historian from New York and author of the book When Elephants Paint.

Mia Fineman says that elephants from different parts of Asia have different styles. Those from central Thailand, for example, prefer cool, dark colours like blue and green. "When I view a painting, I can usually tell what region it's from, and which elephant created it," she says.

Elephant art first appeared in 1997, when two Russian conceptual artists first had the idea of encouraging elephants to paint. For them, the art lay in the idea of elephants painting, rather than in the paintings themselves.

Over time, people have come to enjoy the elephant art for itself. No one will put Ramona and her friends in the same category (类别) as famous painters like Rembrandt or Picasso. But their works are not just random brush strokes, either. Elephants are known to be sensitive and thoughtful creatures. There is no reason why they should not express their feelings about the world around them and what the human race has done to the world.

We may one day come to understand the meaning of elephant art. But will we like what it has to say about us?

In October 2023, 3M and Discovery Education named Heman the winner of their Young Scientist Challenge. His prize: $25,000. His accomplishment: inventing a soap that could one day treat and prevent some forms of skin cancer.

It could take years before the soap is available to customers. But Heman, a 10th grader at Woodson High, is determined. Over the summer, he spent every weekday in a lab at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. When he goes back to school this fall, he' ll be at the lab less often. But he' ll stick to his dream and try hard to make it come true.

Heman was born in Africa. He remembers seeing people in Africa working in the hot sun without protection for their skin. Because of that, some of them developed skin cancer, a disease caused by too much exposure(暴露) to the sun. Treating the cancer is costly, about $40,000. Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way for people to deal with the disease. He thought of adding a skin-cancer medicine called imiquimod to a bar of soap. "What is one thing that everyone can use?" Heman recalls thinking. "Everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option."

Heman needed help to bring his idea to life. In 2023, he came across the 3M Challenge and submitted a video explaining his idea. Soon, he received an invitation to the company's headquarters. He spoke in front of a panel of judges. That day, he was named the winner. Since then, Heman has been working on developing his idea and some adult experts are guiding him, saying he's passionate and inspiring.

When I was just a little kid, my parents arranged for me to learn to play the piano. Every Saturday, my dad would drive me to my piano lessons, and I would watch the world outside the window, seeing dogs running around and sniffing flowers. I longed for their freedom and pure joy.

During my childhood, my life was filled with piano lessons, practicing at home, and playing at various concerts. My hands would move over the keys, and people would smile and clap（鼓掌）when I played a nice tune. But to be honest, I didn't really enjoy it that much. I just wanted to get good grades and please my mom. However, my parents kept saying everything I learned would influence me in some way in the future.

When I turned 14, I had got many certificates（证书）for playing the piano. When I was 16, my parents bought me an expensive piano and I thought maybe they hoped I would become a pianist one day. But even though I kept practicing and going to music classes on Saturdays, I never really felt excited about it.

After I finished high school, I stopped playing the piano, which just sat there, quiet and unused in the corner. I sometimes complained to my parents for expecting so much from me, and wondered why they wouldn't let me enjoy the complete play and joy in my childhood as I wished. When I stopped playing, my relatives would sometimes talk about how I wasted my talent, which made me feel like I wasn't good at anything else.

But then things changed. Several years ago, I moved from California to Chicago for work, and it was a new place for me, where sometimes I felt really lonely. I started to miss the old times, especially the sound of the piano. It made me feel less homesick. So, I decided to pick up the piano again in Chicago.

The Shunan Bamboo Sea in Yibin, Sichuan, a natural forest,(be) a popular tourist attraction since scenes from a famous martial arts movie were shot there. This 120-square-kilometer forest is the largest old bamboo park in China, and( it) average temperature seldom drops below 0 ℃ in winter, even when many parts of the country are covered snow and ice.

( know) as one of China's most beautiful forests, the Bamboo Sea covers more than 500 hills. The ocean of green is dotted with lakes, waterfalls and lively spring scenery.

area has an average temperature of about 16℃ every year. Sometimes, though it is tiring for visitors( hike) in the Bamboo Sea, they can feel more light-hearted because of the calmness and beauty.

Bamboo began to grow there about 3,000 years ago. In ancient times, bamboo was( extreme) important to the locals. And it is still used to build houses, make tools, and make musical( instrument). A must for visitors to the Bamboo Sea is the museum in they can gain a deeper understanding of this (amaze) site. The nature of bamboo explains Chinese people's long admiration for the plant, which inspires their lives and arts.

"Sleep has a main effect on how old you feel, and it's not only your long-term sleep patterns," says Balter, a co-author of the study. "Even when you only sleep less for two nights, that has a real effect on how you feel." This feeling is known as "subjective (主观的) age". Previous studies have found that how old a person feels, both physically and mentally, may have a real effect on health and lifetime.

In the research, Balter and another sleep expert, John, first asked 429 people questions to check their past month of sleep. They found that with each day of bad sleep the average person had got in the past month, their "subjective age" increased by nearly three months. And those who had experienced no days of bad sleep said they felt an average of six years younger than their true age. Next, they ran an experiment in which 186 volunteers experienced two consistent nights of bad sleep — a sleep limited to four hours per night, or two consistent nights of good sleep — nine hours of enough sleep. Then, each volunteer described their "subjective age". After two nights of limited sleep, the volunteers reported feeling an average of 4.4 years older than their true age, while those with two nights of enough sleep felt an average of three months younger.

"If you protect your sleep, you can feel younger," Balter says. "We know those who feel younger than their actual age live healthier and longer, so try to develop good sleep habits."

When faced with extreme heat, the human body depends on its natural cooling mechanisms (机制) to keep a safe temperature. However, very high heat overpowers these mechanisms, putting human lives at risk. Research shows that the body's ability to cool through sweating (出汗) begins to decrease at 35 ℃. Being in such conditions can put pressure on the heart and cause body temperatures to rise uncontrollably, creating the greatest risk to older people and those with diseases.

Recently, scorching temperatures have broken records across the globe. China experienced a historic high of nearly 126 °F. America reached 128 °F. The Middle East hit 152 °F, nearing the limit of what humans can stand.

These extreme heat events offer a look at the future, as global warming continues to push temperatures. The frequency of dangerously high temperatures has more than doubled since 1979, according to research in 2020.

The seriousness and widespread nature of ongoing heat waves highlight that climate change is a global problem with far-reaching effects. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料), have greatly contributed to the rise in heat-trapping greenhouse gases, leading to more heat waves and other extreme weather events. It is high time to cut down on greenhouse gases and choose cleaner renewable energy sources. International cooperation and leadership are necessary to reduce the effect of climate change on our planet and protect the well-being of future generations.

Cesare's mother is an architect and his father is an electronic engineer. As a child, Cesare became interested in electronics. He loved to experiment. He learned to program computers and equipment like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. He also worked with a 3D printer.

After seeing a video about someone building a fusion reactor (核聚变反应堆), Cesare decided he would do something meaningful, too. The school wasn't so excited about the idea. But Cesare worked to persuade his teachers. Finally, after a complete safety review, and with an extra advisor offering to help out, the school agreed.

Cesare was a strong student, but his regular classes weren't teaching him how to build a fusion reactor. To learn this, he spent countless hours doing research, looking up information on the Internet, and watching videos. He would read, watch 10 or 15 videos, and then try to solve the problem. He also visited a website where he got advice from scientists with more experience.

Step by step, working long hours with his physics teacher and his advisor, Cesare built the reactor. Last June, at the very end of the school year, the reactor was finished. Over a year has passed since then. Cesare has continued to improve the reactor. He has built complicated equipment to control the pressure and to better see and understand what's going on inside the reactor.

He's one of the youngest students to have built such an advanced fusion reactor. But for Cesare, it wasn't just about the reactor. It was also about learning by doing, and about making connections with other people doing similar things. College is the next stop for Cesare — perhaps in England, perhaps in Italy. No matter where he goes, he'll probably continue to change people's ideas about how much young people can achieve.
