As the solar orb descended beneath the horizon, suffusing the tranquil municipality with a mellifluous aureate radiance, Emily remained seated upon the periphery of her resting apparatus, her gaze fixated upon the unblemished folio within her personal chronicle. Perennially a paragon of scholarly diligence, achieving preeminence in both academic pursuits and supplementary endeavors, she had recently been besieged by an escalating sensation of disquietude, as though an ineffable lacuna persisted—an absence she could not precisely articulate. Emitting a profound exhalation, she rhythmically percussed her writing instrument against the parchment, ultimately resolving to embark upon an ambulatory sojourn to ameliorate her cognitive disarray.

The crepuscular zephyr, imbued with a refreshing crispness, caressed her countenance as she meandered through the well-trodden thoroughfares of her residential district. Traversing past the recreational greensward of her juvenile frolics, the bibliotheca that had borne witness to innumerable horas of studious exertion, and the establishment of caffeinated beverages wherein she and her compatriots would convene post-scholarly obligations, each locale evoked a cascade of reminiscences, yet simultaneously served as a mnemonic catalyst for the ponderous burden of anticipations she had been shouldering—anticipations emanating from parental figures, pedagogical authorities, and even her own psyche. Hitherto, she had been ubiquitously regarded as the "flawless" disciple, the individual who perpetually eschewed errancy, the one who invariably manifested infallible discernment. Yet now, she found herself ensnared in a labyrinth of existential perplexity.

During her perambulation, her ocular faculties alighted upon a diminutive, timeworn establishment dedicated to literary commerce, inconspicuously nestled within an hitherto unexplored alcove. The signage adorning the portal proclaimed, "The Odyssey Inward." Intrigued, Emily exerted pressure upon the ingress, effecting its aperture, and proceeded to cross the threshold. The atmosphere within was permeated by the olfactory amalgamation of antiquated tomes and the subdued reverberations of a gramophonic apparatus emanating from an indeterminate locus. The repositories of knowledge were arrayed with volumes of heterogeneous dimensions and configurations, their dorsal adornments exhibiting the patina of protracted utilization. Emily's visual perception was irresistibly drawn toward a specific opus, its titulation declaring The Fortitude to Embrace Defectiveness. Upon securing the tome, she commenced perusal.

The manuscript expounded upon the paramount significance of acquiescing to one's own deficiencies, the art of cultivating vulnerability as a virtue, and the derivation of potency from imperfection. As Emily meticulously advanced through the paginal sequence, an overwhelming sensation of catharsis inundated her consciousness. For the inaugural instance, she attained the epiphany that the absence of omniscience was permissible, that the commission of fallacies was not anathema, and that the trajectory of personal augmentation frequently emanated from those interludes wherein predestined designs deviated from their intended course.

Over the next few weeks, Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life.

"All suspects reportedly  （involve） in the killing of a middle school student by classmates in Feixiang district of Handan, Hebei province, have been arrested", according to a statement by local authorities on Sunday night. 

The Beijing News reported that over the past months, this case of the 13-year-old boy, inhumanly killed by his three classmates,  （cause） anger and furious debate on juvenile crime. 

The victim and his classmates are"left-behind children",  term used to describe kids in China who live with their grandparents in rural areas  their parents work in the cities.The victim went missing in the afternoon of 10 March.The local government said the boy likely died on the same day."He had been bullied by his three classmates for a long time", said the family's lawyer, Zang Fanqing, in a Weibo post on Monday.Under questioning by authorities, the three led police to the boy's body, after  （initial） denying that they knew  it was buried. 

The case has triggered an outpouring of grief on social media, with  （ten） of thousands of posts on Weibo and Douyin over the weekend."The whole country is watching this case.I hope the police can be fair and give the  （victim） family a satisfying answer and that the suspects must be punished  their young age."one user said in a comment, which got 50, 000 likes.Many in the comments also demanded that the suspects  （punish） harshly.Police are still investigating the motive for the killing.

 1  had always been a peaceful and quiet village until one summer day when a mysterious old man arrived. He was dressed in ragged clothes and had a strange look in his eyes. The villagers were all curious and frightened at the same time. The old man 2 to the village chief and said he had a special mission that required the help of a brave person in the village.

The village chief was a 3 man named John, who had always been respected for his wisdom. He knew this was a big challenge, but he also felt 4 that someone had come to him for help. After talking to the old man for a while, John decided to gather a group of villagers to 5 him in his task.

As they were preparing for the journey, a young girl named Lily6 to volunteer. She had always been 7 and adventurous, and she didn't want to miss the chance to be a part of something so important. Despite the uncertainty of the mission, she was determined to go.

The group set off early the next morning. They followed the old man through 8 forests and across steep mountains. Along the way, they encountered many 9 that tested their strength and perseverance. They had to10 wild animals and find ways to cross dangerous rivers. But no matter how tough it got, they never gave up.

Finally, they reached a dark and 11 cave. The old man warned them that the cave was filled with unknown dangers, but he also said the key to their mission was hidden inside. With their hearts12 with fear and excitement, they slowly entered the cave.

Inside the cave, they found strange symbols on the walls and heard eerie noises echoing through the darkness. They had to rely on each other's strength and trust to keep going. After what felt like hours, they came to a 13 passage. The old man explained that they needed to solve a tricky puzzle to open the way forward.

The puzzle was extremely difficult, and they almost lost hope. But Lily, with her sharp mind and 14 thinking, finally figured it out. As the passage opened, they saw a bright light shining from the end of the cave.

When they reached the end, they found an old chest filled with precious15 and a letter. The letter explained that the old man was actually a guardian of an ancient treasure, and he had been looking for worthy people to protect it. The villagers had proven their bravery and loyalty, and the treasure was now theirs to keep.

There is a hidden secret in the front wheel design of supermarket shopping carts—two of the four wheels are slightly tilted. This "caster" design prevents sudden turns during straight-line rolling but requires the user to continuously apply lateral pressure. Engineers have found that when the shopping cart is loaded with more than 23kg, this design can reduce side-flipping accidents by 37%.

You might not know that . Inverting fresh strawberries in a breathable cardboard box can extend their shelf life by three days. Experiments have shown that the mold growth rate on the strawberry surface in contact with the container is 2.4 times faster than that on the suspended surface, which is related to the difference in the density distribution of the fruit's epidermal wax layer.

. The most durable key on a standard keyboard is actually the number "5," which can withstand an average of 15 million presses, while the space bar has a lifespan of only 3 million presses. This is because frequent use has prompted manufacturers to install titanium alloy supports inside the "5" key, a design that originated from a 1987 typewriter anti-jamming patent.

When heating food in a microwave, . Placing a cup of water in the center can increase the uniformity of heating by 62%. This trick is based on the principle of microwave standing waves—the dielectric constant of water can effectively balance the distribution of the electromagnetic field, avoiding cold and hot spots.

. In fact, turning off the Wi-Fi router at night is more power-consuming. The instantaneous power during the reboot process is 18 times that of the standby state. The annual power consumption of continuous standby is equivalent to only five hours of reboot power consumption. This counterintuitive phenomenon is related to the charging and discharging characteristics of the power module's capacitors.

The launch of DeepSeek-V3 in January 2025 by the fast-growing Chinese AI company DeepSeek has captured global attention.This cutting-edge AI model offers superior performance in programming, mathematics, and medical analysis at significantly lower costs compared to competitors like ChatGPT.Its affordability and efficiency have sparked discussions about whether cost-effective technology can surpass more expensive rivals, potentially reshaping the future of the AI industry. 

A standout feature of DeepSeek-V3 is its energy-efficient design, which allows it to process massive datasets without the high power consumption typical of other systems.One of its most promising applications is in agriculture, where it powers drones to scan fields and predict crop yields with remarkable precision.Early trials have demonstrated a 20% increase in harvests compared to traditional methods, offering a potential solution to global food security challenges.However, the technology is not without its flaws.Privacy concerns have emerged, with critics fearing potential data leaks to authorities.Additionally, the drones struggle in harsh weather conditions, limiting their effectiveness in rural areas.DeepSeek has committed to addressing these issues by mid-2025, but its impact is already being felt worldwide. 

The launch of DeepSeek-V3 has sent waves through the global tech market.U.S.tech stocks dipped by 5% following its release, signaling a potential shift in the balance of power within the industry.Meanwhile, the model has inspired students and educators, with classrooms increasingly integrating it into the curriculum to promote innovation and interest in AI careers. 

Critics argue that DeepSeek-V3 is a double-edged sword—brilliant yet filled with ethical and practical risks.Supporters, however, view it as proof that smart, affordable design can solve real-world problems, such as feeding a growing global population.For young people, DeepSeek-V3 represents more than a technological breakthrough；it's a glimpse into a future where creativity and ideas drive progress, not just financial resources. 

This development highlights the unstoppable advancement of AI and its potential to transform industries and careers.DeepSeek-V3 serves as a reminder that innovation, when thoughtfully designed, can address some of the world's most pressing challenges while inspiring the next generation to dream big and drive change.

Recently, I was extended an invitation to venture towards the northern region for a preliminary glimpse of Dundreggan Rewilding Center, which is on the verge of being fully accessible to the public.Individuals who manage to arrive for the opening weekend will have the opportunity to partake in complimentary events, which encompass guided walks, tours of the tree nursery, storytelling sessions, a plethora of amusement for children, and activities orchestrated by naturalist Nick Baker and the adept in tracks and signs, Dan Puplett.

We proceeded to peruse the newly constructed, architect-designed center.The edifice incorporates a multitude of sustainable characteristics, including solar panels and reclaimed wood furniture in the cafe area. This constitutes one of two novel buildings, the other of which is reputed to provide accessible accommodation for those harboring the desire to engage in a more prolonged rewilding experience.

Upon entering the building, the initial object that met our eyes was a sculpture-the creation of local artist Helen Denerley. The sculpture portrays a tree teeming with numerous native animals, fashioned from reclaimed metal.From that vantage point, we were afforded views of the other areas-classrooms, event spaces, the cafe and vivacious information panels dispersed throughout, conveying details about rewilding, the interconnection of forest ecosystems, local wildlife, and so forth.

As our guide aptly emphasized, the building merely serves as the point of departure-the locale from which individuals can diverge to uncover a great deal more along a series of accessible trails and more intrepid hikes within the surrounding terrain.

One pivotal focus for this endeavor is undoubtedly the community, in addition to rewilding. It commemorates the local Gaelic heritage and history, as well as wildlife, woodlands, and natural marvels.Briefly conversing with two amiable and hospitable employees working in the cafe, who were among the 20 locals bestowed with new employment opportunities courtesy of the project, their fervor for the new center and eagerness to contribute to its inception were palpable.

"The Stories in Our Childhood Textbooks Are the Lives We Live as Adults." This realization inspired Li Yuan to create the video account "Laikansuba" （meaning "Read Along"）, where she and her team reinterpret classic literary works from Chinese textbooks.Li, 26, a digital media graduate from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, serves as the team's director.The idea first came to her during a family trip last year to send her younger brother off to college.At the university, she noticed many out-of-town parents doing the same—watching their children take a big step into adulthood. 

This scene reminded Li of "The View of Father's Back" （背影）, an essay from her middle school Chinese textbook.Written in 1925 by Zhu Ziqing （1898-1948）, the piece recounts the author's departure for Peking University, with the most memorable image being his aging father climbing up and down the train station platform to buy him oranges. 

"It was amazing to see how real life connected with something I had read in a textbook, " Li said.This inspiration became Laikansuba's first short film, where Li reimagined the protagonist as a girl reflecting on her own father-daughter relationship. " The core idea, however, remains the same, " she explained.The video resonated deeply with young audiences, garnering over 80 million views across Chinese social media platforms.Encouraged by this success, the team launched an ongoing series offering fresh interpretations of textbook classics, attracting over 2.5 million followers in under a year—mostly viewers aged 18-23. 

All young protagonists are portrayed by 26-year-old Shu Jiahui.Despite graduating with a software engineering degree from Yibin University and having no formal acting training, Shu developed her passion through internships and self-exploration.It was this raw authenticity that caught Li's attention, as she found many trained young actors delivered rehearsed performances lacking genuine emotion.She found that many trained young actors tended to deliver rehearsed and predictable performances, lacking the authenticity she was looking for. 

"I want to make videos that bridge literature with real-life experiences, " Li explained. "I hope to help viewers rediscover emotions they may not have fully grasped as students, and offer new perspectives shaped by time and personal growth."

Throughout history, there have been sculptors prized for their willingness to push boundaries.Without their contributions, it would be difficult to imagine visual art as we now know it.Here are several pioneers. 

Gianlorenzo Bernini （1598～1680） 

As a master of materials, Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini is known for his astonishing ability to create movement and bring forth emotion with his work.In his masterpiece, Plu to and Perse, the rough and cold stone has been turned into flesh that looks so real and soft that you just want to reach out and touch it. 

Henry Moore （1898～1986） 

Known for his abstract public sculpture, British artist Henry Moore's works most often focus on the theme of mother and child, who usually sit or lie in a relaxed way, with their bodies leaning backwards Moore's figures are often composed of multiple pieces, yet his clean lines allow viewers to effectively see the figures within the abstract form.Such features are very obvious in his master piece Mother and Child. 

Louise Bourgeois （1911～2010） 

Most well-known for her public art, French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois rose to international fame in 1982 after the Museum of Modern Art held her first exhibit.By this time, she was already in her 70s.Drawing from her own life experience, her sculptures often explore themes of family and death.In her representative work, Maman, Bourgeois has used a spider to stand for her mother, who died when she was a child, to show her strength and protection over her family.

On the first day of high school, Lily stood in front of her bedroom mirror, adjusting her bright yellow sweater. Her heart raced with excitement and nerves. She really wanted to find where she belonged and make friends in this new world.

As Lily stepped onto the school campus, the air was thick with the sounds of chatter and laughter. She looked around and saw a group of girls standing in a corner. One girl, Jessica, who had long, pretty hair, waved at Lily. Lily's heart started beating even faster. She walked over with a big smile. Jessica said that they were going to an amazing party that weekend and that she should definitely go. Lily felt so happy, thinking this was her chance to be part of them.

At lunchtime, the girls chattered non-stop about the upcoming party, their laughter filling the air. However, as the conversation progressed, it took an unexpected turn. They started talking about skipping classes. At first, Lily laughed along, trying to fit in, but a sense of unease settled in the pit of her stomach. When they asked her to sneak (偷溜) out at night, she murmured, "I'm not sure about that." "Come on, Lily! Everyone does it! You want to fit in, right?" Jessica insisted. Lily forced a smile and nodded, but she felt so torn.

One day, things took a turn for the worse. Jessica and her friends encouraged Lily to try smoking a cigarette. But as Lily held the cigarette in her hand, fear gripped her. In that moment, she knew this wasn't who she was.

Overwhelmed and stressed, Lily decided to go to the art room alone. When she picked up a paintbrush and started to paint, she found that the colors on the canvas created a safe space where she could forget her problems and feel calm. Just then, the door creaked open, and a girl with curly hair walked in. The girl introduced herself as Mia. As they started to talk, they discovered a shared love for art, and soon, they were chatting about their favorite movies, books, and hobbies. In contrast to her time with Jessica's group, Lily felt at ease with Mia.

"Melting pot" means a place where people from many different ethnic groups or cultures form a united society. The idea comes from (heat) metals in a container. When they melt, the metals unite and become   new and stronger. This term has been used to describe the United States as a nation created from people who came here from many different countries.

A Frenchman who was living in America expressed the idea more than 200 years ago. J. Hector de Crevecoeur (publish) a book called Letters From an American Farmer in 1782. He wrote that America had people from many different countries. He said that they would become a new people work would one day change the world.

For many years, Americans generally accept the idea their country is a melting pot. They welcome immigrants from many nations. Yet some of those immigrants criticize the melting pot idea. They feel they are forced to lose their culture and language (accept) in America. Other people also criticize the idea. They say the aim of the melting pot is to make different cultures disappear into the one (represent) the largest group.

New groups of immigrants from Asia and Latin America are changing the United States today. Some are resisting learning American culture and language. Reports say some Americans fear that the nation is separating into many groups that have no (share) purpose. Others say the melting pot is no longer changing the nation's immigrants, but the immigrants are changing America.

Some experts who study immigration say they now compare American society a salad bowl. A salad is made of many different foods. They each keep their own tastebeing part of a successful product. In this way, cultural groups keep their customs and language and are still part of American society.

The vending machine features multiple shelves for various leafy greens and herbs, each providing tailored conditions for optimal growth. An irrigation (灌溉) system ensures plants receive the right amount of water, while an Al-powered camera monitors their progress. When ready, plants are dispensed for consumption. "It's like a small factory that grows and supplies the produce," said Elitzur, the founder of the startup.

The PICI has other benefits too. Because the machine is filled with seeds inside of capsules and not whole plants, it makes shipping cheaper, storage easier, and avoids damaging plants in transit.

The startup was founded in early 2023, after Elitzur realized that the greens grown globally wither quickly to travel a long distance to get to market and to consumers. The greens often do not arrive in peak freshness. "These types of crops need to be kept in the refrigerator and have a short life, which is an issue," he said. Elitzur believes that with increased urbanization and climate change, current agricultural methods and the food supply chain from seeds to harvest have to be changed.

The PICI unit will consolidate the fresh produce chain to reduce food waste and bring fresh greens to consumers as quickly as possible. That's why the vending machines were developed as a way to grow fresh greens where the end users are; in supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and hospitals. This will free up farmers to use their fields to grow other needed vegetables in a more efficient and sustainable way.

Yet subsequently, the teens questioned their proposed invention due to sharp-tool risks. Concerned about the new direction, they approached the Lemelson-MIT Program for advice, where Leigh Estabrooks, a seasoned academic, encouraged them, "Invention advances; changes and adjustments are common — that's the process." Despite the change in plans, Estabrooks praised the community-centered approach.

With renewed determination, the team resolved to develop a tool to monitor blood oxygen levels in diabetics feet. This shift was essential and demanded considerable effort. Avila Pinedo recalled the team invested every spare moment in research.

Each team member performed specific functions in the process. Avila Pinedo led — the development of the sensor (传感器) that measured blood oxygen levels. Lacking prior technical skills, Avila Pinedo determined to employ online resources to acquire how to build the electrical system and finally built the sensor. "Invention offers a chance to explore the boundaries of your creativity and capabilities and unlock the power of the invention mindset. It doesn't mean you must know how to build a sensor, but you do need to take responsibility for your own education," Pinedo said. Ultimately, under the team's cooperation, their invention, named Heart and Sole, became a reality.

The experience lit Avila Pinedo's passion, inspiring her to serve as an advisor to primary pupils recently. Guiding them through hands-on engineering and programming for a STEM initiative, she said. "Invention is transformational," witnessing its empowering influence on InvenTeamers and others who realize that applying imagination and concepts can unlock fresh prospects, therefore motivating them to further explore education with the belief that invention is accessible to all.
