I carefully8 the pine's strong trunk, straight and solid, and added the graceful branches. Once lost in my sketching, I9 noticed the fly buzzing around me. Hence, I jumped when Mr. Weston suddenly remarked, "You've captured the essence of the tree's10 beautifully on paper." "Thanks." I smiled, glancing up. "If you spread out the roots near the surface, the tree could11 sufficient water and soar even higher." I noticed the knobby bumps (疙瘩状突起) of roots12 out of the ground all around the tree. I'd never realized how13 a tree's roots stretched outward. It struck me that if I wanted to grow, I had to start14 too.

That evening, I filled out the art camp application, ready to stretch my15 out into new earth. I thought I am the pine.

There are many different kinds of sedimentary rock. Some sedimentary rocks form as wind and water leave behind small bits of rock and sand. Others form from chemicals or from the remains of living things.

The most common kinds of sedimentary rock consist of deposits left behind by water. The water wears away rocks and carries away sand and small bits of rock. These minerals are deposited in many places. Over time, the deposits build up into layers. The weight of the layers presses the bits of rock together. Water seeps through the layers, leaving minerals that cement the bits together to form rock.

Some of the rocks formed by wind and glaciers are loess and tillite. This yellow rock covers large regions of the world. A rock made up of large bits of rock that have combined together is called tillite.

Chalk and coal are two kinds of rock that form in this way. Chalk forms from animal skeletons and shells that gather on the floor of the sea. Coal is formed from the remains of plants. Over time, the layers of dead matter become solid chalk and coal. All sedimentary rock takes thousands of years to form.

A. But they have different features.

B. Each kind forms in a different way.

C. Chalk and coal come from the same substances.

D. Sedimentary rock can even form from the remains of living things.

E. It is formed when minerals and other matter are deposited in layers.

F. Weak rock formed from the dust blown by the wind is called loess.

G. Over thousands of years, old layers of matter are covered by new layers.

"But I'm on call. I might have to jump up and run out of class."

"Then maybe this isn't the best place for you to be tonight."

That response got me an angry and unfriendly look. But when she came back the next week, there was no phone and she was much more present.

Present is what I'm asking my students to be. Present to themselves and their yoga experience. You cannot be present to yoga if you are texting or emailing or anxiously awaiting a call. And neither can anyone around you. Definitely, if one phone is out, many pairs of eyes are drawn to it. And then other phones start to appear. Forget the fact that you're missing the class you paid for; you're at risk of losing your balance and hurting yourself or someone else due to inattention, or disturbing someone else's moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys.

So please, do yourself and everyone around you, this teacher included, a favor and turn your phone off and put it away before you unroll your yoga mat. If you truly are on call, think hard before you come to class.

Be present for yourself, wherever you need to be.

On August 5, 2024, Chinese badminton player He Bingjiao won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. However, truly stood out was a touching moment on the podium (领奖台). As she received her medal, He Bingjiao held a badge (徽章) (feature) the Spanish flag, which aroused widespread curiosity online.

This gesture was to express respect and care for her semifinal opponent, Spain's Carolina Marin, who (retire) from the match due to injury. He Bingjiao explained, "I brought the Spanish badge because Marin's suffering broke my heart. I hope she sees this and wish her a speedy (recover)."

During their semifinal match, Marin performed well but (force) to stop after getting injured. He Bingjiao immediately reached out, offering support and checking on Marin, who was (visible) upset.

The act rapidly made headlines around the world. The International Olympic Committee praised He Bingjiao showing the Olympic values of respect and friendship. Spanish media also highlighted the (emotion) moment, with many fans applauding her sportsmanship. Pau Gasol, the legendary Spanish basketball player, called it beautiful display of Olympic spirit.

He Bingjiao's action not only demonstrated her respect for her opponent but also reflected the true spirit of the Olympics — competition, (pair) with unity and mutual (相互的) respect.

For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the "phonotelephone" which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:

"Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears."

Verne's technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the "hard science fiction" of the 20th century and beyond.

Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.

The spirit of adventure in Verne's timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.

Dressed in traditional hanfu, Wang Zijun, manager of a coffee shop, elegantly serves steaming coffee and snacks customers.

The coffee shop lies in the Huizhou ancient town, a popular tourist destination in Shexian County, east China's Anhui Province. It's decorated with (tradition) calligraphy and colorful fish-shaped lanterns.

"The leisurely pace in the Chinese-style coffee shops matches well with the (attract) of the old street," said Wang. The town also introduces visitors to cultural products, martial arts performances and local snacks.

Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn't her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.

Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, "Draw it the way I showed you." As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary's mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students' faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila's disinterest was clear and Tina's imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.

After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, "Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?" she asked gently.

Tina's eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-"I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?"

Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina's drawings weren't just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?

The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled "Our Dream World" with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.

At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...

Have you ever sunk a spoon and a pair of chopsticks into a deep bowl of hot pot? If so, then you know that this widely-appreciated dish can be (absolute) delicious and fun to eat. Typically (associated) with Chinese food, hot pot is commonly seasoned with all kinds of traditional Chinese ingredients, ranging from raw shellfish sliced mushrooms. Today hot pot is enjoyed all across Asia, which begs the question: Where, exactly, did hot pot originate?

Some historians trace its beginnings back to boatmen living along the Yangtze and Jialing rivers around Chongqing, China, invented an inexpensive and efficient way to eat. Others believe early hot pots (link) to Mongol soldiers. As they traveled and camped across Asia and beyond, they'd sit around the fires, (enjoy) hot soup in one of their overturned helmets (头盔).

Nowadays there are three major styles of hot pot. Sichuan hot pot (feature) strong and spicy flavors. Cantonese hot pot is a much (mild) version with less spicy seasoning. The third one is Mongolian hot pot, which is similar to the original version of hot pot. Despite the variations of this dish, makes hot pot become a favorite dish all over the world is its inclusiveness-everyone is free to add their favorite (item) right into the pot, cooking and eating as they go.

My late grandfather was born in Bagansiapiapi, Indonesia. Growing up, I'd hear all kinds of stories about his childhood before he moved to Singapore. I was anxious to visit his birthplace but I never acted on it until the idea of cycling there came to mind. And I decided to go big — make the whole journey across the island and head to the northernmost tip of Indonesia.

I made sure I planned my first solo ride around Indonesia well. My whole trip would cover more than 1,600 km. I aimed to cycle around 100 km to 140 km a day, which would take about four to six hours. I had to leave room for flexibility. Possible bicycle breakdowns and accidents needed to be taken into account.

During the first leg of the journey, I hardly felt tired because I was so driven by my excitement. Reaching Bagansiapiapi, I immediately asked about the history relating to the large Chinese community there. I learned that a Chinese family surnamed Tan did live there for years. In the 1940s, they moved to another part of Southeast Asia. The locals couldn't remember the names so I wasn't sure whether it was my grandfather's family. All the small pieces of the history reminded me of the hard work of my forefathers to find a better life for their later generations.

Once, I got lost while cycling towards Lake Toba. Luckily, a family of three showed me the right directions. The whole journey was unforgettable. I was thankful that I could witness the land where my grandparents had ever lived and that I had completed such a challenging cycling journey myself.

A. I knew I had to make it happen.

B. At age 49, I developed a thirst for adventure.

C. My cycling journey was not without challenges.

D. Or I was just feeling extra tired on a certain day.

E. However, the possibility left me feeling excited and satisfied.

F. I took note of a few potential hostels and other accommodations.

G. I felt a little regret for not exploring more of my family's detailed history.

Understanding why we forget first requires us to tear down the myth about memory. "It is generally believed that memory is just one thing," said Susanne Jaeggi, a professor of psychology. "Indeed, there are very different components of memory, and they're also related to different cognitive (认知的) processes."

There are two different types of memory: long-term and working memory. The former is a broad category of memories that involve experience and skills stored in the brain for extended periods. On the other hand, thoughts in working memory are only present for a brief period.

"Working memory is like the sketchpad (速写本) of conscious thought," said Earl K. Miller, a professor of neuroscience at MIT. "Every piece of new information, inner dialogue and sensory input is routed through working memory and certain characteristics of working memory explain why we forget those thoughts."

First, psychologists estimate that people can hold only about four to seven "chunks" (块) of information — such as letters, digits, words or phrases — in their working memory at a time. Rather than being aware of all of these "chunks" all at once, the brain bounces around from one idea to another, making it more likely to forget one.

Second, the brain quickly wipes out unimportant things from working memory to make room for new information. So unless those short-term memories are transferred into long-term memories (a process called consolidation), they'll soon disappear.

But for those who regularly struggle with thoughts slipping their mind, Jaeggi and Miller have some words to say. In the first place, Miller says multitasking makes forgetting more likely. Jaeggi mentions if you walk into a room and forget why you went in there, go back into the room you were before. The context clues might give the brain the extra boost it needs to reach back a few seconds in working memory and bring back the thought that's already gone.

The prototype (原型) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices.

"Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices," explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. "The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are comprised of silicon (硅), wearers aren't able to even notice a discrepancy between the fabric's composition and that of standard clothing."

Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. "Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people's relationship with technology, as this prototype shows how we could live without charging many devices on the wall," adds Theodore.

Solar power innovations are key to transforming human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real "days" or "nights" in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what's currently achievable here on Earth's surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it's encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help promote the necessary renewable energy shift for our species.

Baker, a painter, has long understood the benefits of biophilic (热爱自然的) design. Having suffered a breakdown 10 years ago, Baker found that drawing flowers was the only way to lift his spirit. It was around this time that Baker met Borowski, and joined her production company as a creative director. The pair have worked together ever since launching Graphic Rewilding in 2021.

Since then, they've decorated many buildings at locations including Earl's Court station, Lewes Castle and Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd's Bush—all hand drawn by Baker. "We love galleries, but we focus on public art. This way, our work is out there for everyone to enjoy," Baker says.

The pair believe that flowers have serious power, even when they're not real. "We know that spending time in nature is good for us, but studies show that even pictures of plants have a positive effect on the mind," says Baker. He discovers from the research that images of plants in hospital waiting rooms can help reduce feelings of stress inpatients.

Even so, they admit that art is no match for Mother Nature. "Some people expressed concern that our project might hurt real rewilding efforts. But both can coexist," says Borowski. "Of course, we want more green space. But we aren't gardeners. We're artists. In the absence of nature, we want to create inspiring spaces through art."

Overall, the response has been hugely positive. "The joy that these artworks bring is evident," says Borowski, highlighting an early project in Crawley, West Sussex, where they painted brick walls, billboards, benches and even bins. "There were so many smiling faces," she says. "Putting art into a place that previously felt unloved feels like developing joy where there was none."

Squeaky wasn't expected to do much around the house, but she was responsible for looking after her sister Louise, who was intellectually disabled. People in their Harlem neighborhood often made fun of Louise, but Squeaky didn't hesitate to stand up for her. As Squeaky was an incredibly fast runner, she could just run away if things got too heated. In fact, Squeak y won many races she competed in, sometimes losing to her classmate and friend, Gretchen. These days, Squeaky and Gretchen were talking about who of them would win in the coming May Day race.

Squeaky often ran around the neighborhood, training for races and performing breathing exercises, and Louise usually went together. Louise often caused trouble in public, drawing the anger of neighbors to whom Squeaky must apologize. But Squeaky didn't mind as long as Louise didn't interfere (干扰) with her training.

Presently, Squeaky was practicing running in the neighborhood with Louise when she spotted Gretchen running towards them. When they came close, they all stopped. Gretchen looked at Louise in curiosity, which was taken as a provocation by Squeaky, who stepped forward in defense. Gretchen stepped back and smiled kindly.Relieved, Squeaky introduced Louise to Gretchen and explained why she was defensive.

Gretchen laughed, saying she was curious because she was surprised that Louise should be able to run as fast as Squeaky. "Is she also training for the May Day race?" Gretchen asked.

Squeaky's eyes lit up. "Why haven't I ever thought of this?" she thought. Gretchen's words reminded her of an idea she had never thought of. "I decide to quit running and coach Louise instead. I have many awards, but Louise has nothing," she told Gretchen. Gretchen was almost touched to tears by Squeaky's consideration for her sister. "Can I work together with you?" Gretchen asked with enthusiasm. The two friends looked at each other in agreement.
