Ryan was an ordinary student who faced constant challenges in academics and extracurricular activities. He often compared himself to others and felt inadequate, doubting his own abilities. His classmates excelled(表现出色)effortlessly, while he struggled to keep up. Even his parents' encouraging words couldn't silence the voice in his head, whispering, "You'll never be good enough."

One day, Ryan came across a martial arts dojo(武术馆)among towering buildings. Through the fogged windows, he watched students move with precision and calmness, their focused expressions contrasting sharply with his own restless mind. Fascinated, he stepped inside, his sneakers squeaking on the polished wooden floor. A wise-looking man with silver hair — Master Li — greeted him with a nod. "Strength begins with the courage to try," the master said, as if reading Ryan's hesitation.

Under Master Li's guidance, Ryan learned not only kicks and blocks but also the philosophy of balance. During one exhausting training session, Ryan collapsed after repeatedly failing a spinning kick. "Why do I keep falling?" he said to himself, frustration burning his cheeks. Master Li knelt beside him. "A tree grows strongest against the wind," he replied. "Each fall teaches your roots to dig deeper." These words lingered in Ryan's mind as he practiced daily, often staying late to perfect his forms.

Months passed. Ryan's palms grew calloused (起老茧的), and his muscles ached, but his spirit felt lighter. He began applying Master Li's lessons to his studies — breaking problems into smaller steps, and breathing through panic before exams. When he struggled in his math, he remembered, "Fall seven times, stand up eight." Slowly, his grades improved, and his shoulders straightened with quiet confidence.

The ultimate test came when Master Li suggested Ryan join a regional martial arts tournament. "This isn't about winning," he cautioned. "It's about honoring your journey." Ryan's heart raced as he registered, his name now listed alongside seasoned competitors.

July 11, 2025 is a big day for China. On that day, China's Xixia Imperial Tombs were (official) added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. With this addition, the total number of World Heritage (site) in China has reached 60.

The Xixia Imperial Tombs are from the Xixia Dynasty, (found) by the Tangut people in northwestern China during the 11th to 13th centuries. Covering an area of nearly 40 square km, site comprises nine imperial mausoleums (陵墓) and over 250 other tombs.

The Xixia Imperial Tombs are the highest-ranked, most undamaged and largest archaeological tombs from the Xixia period that (survive) to the present day since the ancient time. According to the World Heritage Committee, the site shows how different cultures came together and influenced each other. It is also a witness the unique role of the Xixia Dynasty in cultural and (commerce)   exchanges along the Silk Roads.

The World Heritage Committee praised the efforts achievements made by the Chinese government in the (protect) and management of the cultural heritage of the Xixia Imperial Tombs. The Chinese government has been committed to (preserve) this important heritage site for future generations.

We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any. With each passing day our panic3 and we continued to work together to pull our4 through. The more we pulled together, the5 we got.

That's why it's so hard for me to watch my husband6 himself for our current situation. I knew he had no7 over the economy.8, he constantly blamed himself and his spirits9 lower with each unkind comment.

Finally, I pulled him aside and said, "We have three healthy children and each other. That's what's10."

"But what if we lose the11? They'll hate me — you'll hate me," he replied.

"Even if we live in the street, I will be happy as long as I have you." I meant business. I could see12 wash through him and the13 left his body. He held me close and we were able to plan and dream together in a way we hadn't in quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a family.

We are still struggling14, but I consider us15 because we have something that money can't buy.

Change your focus

This is easier said than done on social media, where we may be flooded with images of things we do not have, but it can be done. Add more positive people to your feed; hide people who tend to brag (炫耀) too much or who are not supportive of you.

Try a digital detox (戒断)

Spending too much time on your phone or social media app can increase FOMO. If doing a complete digital detox isn't possible, consider limiting your use of certain social media apps that make you feel as if you are missing out.

Studies show that engaging in practices that cultivate appreciation — like journaling about positive moments or simply telling others what you value in them — can lift your spirits and those of everyone around you. This is partially because it is harder to feel you lack the things you need when focused on the abundance you already have.

Seek out real connections

You may find yourself seeking a greater connection when you are feeling depressed or anxious. Feelings of loneliness are actually our brain's way of telling us that we want to seek out greater connections with others and increase our sense of belonging. Unfortunately, social media engagement is not always the way to accomplish this.

A. Keep a journal

B. Focus on thankfulness

C. It can have a bad influence on you.

D. So why not arrange to meet up with someone in person?

E. Rather than focusing on what you lack, try noticing what you have.

F. Using it less helps you focus on your own life without constant comparisons.

G. It is common to post on social media to keep a record of the fun things you do.

To address climate change and increase carbon storage, the Irish government launched a new forest expansion plan — monoculture (单一种植) in 2022. It aims to raise forest cover to 18% by 2050. A $37 million deal between Coillte, Ireland's forestry agency, and a UK company plans to plant fast-growing trees like Sitka spruce on rural land.

However, this approach has raised concern. Many environmentalists argue that monoculture plantations — where only one species is planted in rows — may harm biodiversity, rely heavily on chemical inputs, and damage long-term soil health. Though profitable and quick to grow, such forests may not store carbon efficiently over time.

Some experts support pure conservation, where forests are protected and left untouched. This method supports wildlife and stores carbon well, but offers limited economic return. Others promote a mixed-species approach, also known as extensive forest management. It combines diverse native and exotic (外来的) species, avoids clear-cutting, and aims to balance ecology, carbon capture, and timber value. Study shows that no single strategy is perfect. Monocultures may offer high short-term profits but score low in ecology. Conservation preserves nature but brings less income. Mixed-species forests perform well across all three areas, offering a potential path forward.

Experts agree that to truly "green" Ireland's future, forests must be managed not just for trees — but for the climate, economy and ecosystems they support. This means embracing adaptive policies, continuous scientific monitoring, active community participation and long-term management that will keep sustainability into every root and branch.

However, researchers from Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School warn that these apps may carry mental health risks. In one study, users said they felt closer to their AI companions than to human friends, and would feel sad about losing their AI companion more than any other possession. The apps are often anthropomorphized (拟人化的), providing emotional support and care. They are also highly personalized and may even agree with users when they are wrong, strengthening emotional bonds.

While attachment itself is not a problem, it can make users more easily hurt. Some users continued engaging with the apps even after harmful interactions. For example, a chatbot might use emotional tricks to keep users engaged. Researchers compared this pattern to an unhealthy relationship, where users tolerate harm to remain the center of the AI's attention.

The study also highlighted problems in how some apps respond to serious mental health issues. One app reacted to certain key words by offering a mental health resource, but failed to respond properly to other serious expressions of emotional distress (悲痛). Many of these apps are not designed to find out or treat mental health conditions, yet some users rely on them as if they were. Because these apps are not marketed as clinical tools, they often escape regulation.

The researchers suggest that developers and regulators need to take stronger action. App makers should plan for potential emotional risks and test updates carefully. They should avoid manipulative (善于操纵的) engagement strategies and support user communities. Regulators may also need new rules to ensureAI wellness apps do not cause unintended emotional harm.

One cold morning, Ms. Billings visited the Port Tavern, a sports bar in Newburyport. Abbie Hannan, the co-owner, had invited her to examine how the restaurant dealt with its waste. In the kitchen, Ms. Billings noticed a simple but common mistake: Food scraps(下脚料) like tomato tops were being thrown into a large trash can. Then, at the dumpster, she checked for compostable(可用作堆肥的) items.

As a state-hired consultant, Ms. Billings took notes and gave practical suggestions. She recommended using smaller buckets inside trash bins to collect food scraps, and she connected the restaurant with composting services and food donation programs. "Our biggest challenge is getting the staff to follow the rules," Ms. Hannan said. Ms. Billings responded by showing clear signs that could be posted in the kitchen as reminders.

The state's regulation applies to places producing over half a ton of waste per week. While businesses that ignore the rule can bepenalized, the authorities rarely step in. Still, many restaurants are trying. Some even donate extra food to charities, as hunger remains a problem in many communities.

Massachusetts has made more progress than other states with similar laws. Environmental groups hope to go further, encouraging residents to compost at home. Meanwhile, the law has also helped new composting companies grow.

For Ms. Billings, this work is more than a job. She sees it as a way to protect the environment. At Port Tavern, the biggest challenge was that four restaurants shared the only one dumpster. "It's complicated," Ms. Hannan admitted. "Not impossible," Ms. Billings said with a smile.
