Julia Earheart knows4 how strong the love for a pet and the pet5 to its owners can be because she has her own pets. Based in Michigan, Julia works as an independent photographer with plenty of6 customers. But it's her non-paying customers that get the most out of the sessions.

When elderly and sick pets7 their final months with their humans, Julia offers to take pet photos for8. She photographs these owners and their pets so even when the pet dies, its owner can enjoy every last moment together.

And these pictures couldn't be more beautiful but heartbreaking at the same time. "The shoots can be emotional and difficult, absolutely," Julia said. "But when you look at the pictures, you can see that9 is possible even when there isn't much10 left."

Julia wants the owners to be able to spend the money on vet bills and toys11a photography session. Thanks to her, some lucky owners can12 the final days with their companions so the owners couldn't be more13.

"I won't be able to get to all of them and that's the hardest thing for me," Julia said. Even though she can't help all of the owners, she is an angel for giving this14 gift to so many heartbroken pet parents. Above all, she uses her talent to15love and comfort.

Many people have a fear of public speaking. They worry that they will lose their words，bore the audience or somehow make a fool of themselves. It is easy to try to avoid public speaking，but that usually doesn't work out. Everyone has to speak publicly at some point in their life. You may give a speech in a class or a meeting. Maybe you'll have to give a speech for some honor you've received.

Relax. Your audience don't expect you to be perfect. They want you to succeed just as much as you do. If you're thinking you'll forget everything，remind yourself that you are prepared and knowledgeable. Imagine yourself doing well.

Be yourself. You are not Jack Canfield or Tony Robbins. Share your true personality with your audience，and they'll find you reliable.

Know your topic. Try to speak about the subject you know well. Research the topic to make sure that you are correct. Public speaking is easier when you don't feel like a fraud（骗子）.

Choose your message for the group you are speaking to carefully. If you' re giving a public speech, then rude jokes certainly won't be suitable.

Give value. Base your speech on 2 or 3 main points. They'll be satisfied if they leave with something they can use, and that is what public speaking is all about.

A. Know your audience.

B. Choose some serious messages.

C. Don't force yourself to be perfect.

D. Don't focus your attention on too many points.

E. Pretend to be someone that you're not, and they'll discover it.

F. Your audience will not remember every little detail you tell them.

G. Follow these steps to satisfy your audience and overcome your fear of speaking publicly.

Several car manufacturers (制造商) are already using 5G in their vehicles, including as a tool to help serve in the generation of self-driving vehicles.

Experts at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents, which according to the World Health Organization account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year, will drop really as a result.

Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said, "To have a better idea of what the future will look like, think of having such cars that not only use sensors to scan what's around them, they can also talk to each other and exchange safety-related information about their surroundings over an area that covers several square miles. With the help of 5G, a vehicle-generated early warning system that reminds drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will transmit warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably."

A few manufacturers are already working on connected cars. Of them, Ford told its intention to fit 80 percent of its future vehicles with technology that warns drivers about upcoming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.

Therefore, many people believe that it's very hard, if not impossible, to improve your vision naturally as you get older due to concerns that the visual system begins to deteriorate at that stage of life. These people also believe they're stuck with their glasses or contacts for life. So the question is: can aging prevent you from improving your vision naturally?

The answer to that question is no. While aging is inevitable(无法避免的)，when it comes to improving, protecting and preserving your precious eyesight, there are things you can do to reduce or slow the negative effects of aging on the visual system. For instance, you can take preventive steps in terms of nutrition and eye exercises that can reduce the negative effects of aging on the eyes.

These simple-and-easy-to-perform techniques make the visual system stronger therefore helping you to improve your vision. They also improve the focusing power of the eyes through vision training eye exercise techniques. Additionally, eye exercises can improve blood flow and circulation to the visual system therefore improving your eyesight. The question is: can these eye exercises help improve vision even in older people? Well, the answer to this question is yes.

According to a scientific research study performed by the National Institute on Aging, elderly adults can quickly improve their vision with a branch of eye exercises called Perceptual Training. Perceptual Training relates to the ability to improve various visual skills by exposing a person repeatedly to activities involving all kinds of stimuli(刺激物). This improves the way the brain processes visual information by strengthening the connection between the brain and eyes.

As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, "Oh well, it isn't our fire. Let's go home." But John drove closer and said, "That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn't be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do."

John noticed an old lady screamed to him, "The children! Get the children!" John grabbed her by the shoulder saying, "Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!" "In the basement," cried the lady.

In spite of Mary's disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cries. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. They told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, "John! Don't go back! It's dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!"

But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children. The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping.

In the spring sun, my aunt and I headed for her flower shop. Normally I would be delighted to help in her shop, but not recently because of Rosa. Rosa was my sister, just one month old, who was settled in my old bedroom. For ten years, the small room was full of my toys and books. But now it was transformed into her baby room, decorated like a garden with pinks and yellows. My space, my old life, was gone.

"Here we are!" We arrived at the shop, a wave of colour and sweet smell washing over me. My aunt said I could pick some flowers for Mum and Dad. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tiredness and envy. Why bother to bring them flowers when they were enjoying Rosa at home without me?

Silently I helped my aunt arrange flowers. "Your mum told me there hasn't been much shut eye recently for any of you." "Not much, since Rosa the alarm clock was installed (安装)." I complained with a huge yawn (哈欠).

"I remember having to creep (蹑手蹑脚地走) around like a worn-out mouse when your mum was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much." "But you and Mum seem so close," I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa.

"Now we are. But it took me years to grow into the role of big sister. Few flowers blossom (绽放) overnight, you know." She pulled me in for aside hug, glancing up at the clock, and suggested I take a walk outside.

Behind her shop was a field dotted with spring flowers. Stepping into the field, I began to pick little flowers. It was like gathering my childhood memories. I remembered how I'd sit with Dad, making flower chains, crowning (授予) each other with the silliest titles: Queen of Junk Food and King of Mess. My smile grew wider. The shining yellow flowers reminded me of the color in Rosa's baby room. Was she awake? I wondered.

A concrete bookstore in Wisdom Bay innovation park in Shanghai is the first 3D-printed in China. It opened the public in March, 2021. The bookstore consists of three parts, one of is the area of about 30 square meters, (accommodate) at most 15 people inside at a time.

Different from simple works such as a 3D-printed flower basin, the bookstore is innovative attempt in the architecture field. Besides saving time, the 3D-printed architecture is (cheap) in comparison with buildings using conventional (technique) as well. In addition, (it) use of fiber concrete is unique, which strengthens the earthquake (resist). Experts say it is as safe as any traditional concrete construction (base) on the experimental data.

Up to now, many similar researches on 3D-printed concrete technology (conduct) in France, Switzerland and Russia. But China's research and achievements in this field are among the best in the world.

Water polo is a 2 sport. We grow together, we hang out together, and we succeed together. 3 in this sport depends on the successes of each other rather than the success of the 4. This is important because we all realize that 5 we can grow fast alone, we grow more and get closer to our goals 6.

I was never good when I first started a sport. To be honest, it was 7 when I first started playing water polo. My coach has always 8 me.

Lighten up the atmosphere

Humour can be used to enrich literacy skills,spark creativity, teach critical analysis or just lighten the mood in the classroom.. Make fun of yourself and your mistakes.This can make students smile and has the added benefit of showing students that teachers are human.Use current music and sports subjects in teaching examples to engage students and introduce a fun cultural reference into the usually somber atmosphere of school.

Use humour in the media

. Take advantage of political cartoons to analyse historical events or trends and begin a debate. Humorous authors and reporters in the media can be used as models for writing jobs or oral presentations.

Children can fill in the words the cartoon characters might say, and then transfer those actual words into a story using quotation marks. Comics also can be used to teach literary devices such as puns, metaphors and symbolism. Children can create their own comics combining imagery from word pairs, a cartoon mouse using a computer mouse,for instance.

The learning benefits of humour

. Humour is found to be an important entryway into improving social connections with others. Brains might be able to be trained to interpret a difficult situation in a humorous way in order to help the body cope with stressful circumstances.

A. Keep a cartoon and joke file

B. Young students laugh in a classroom

C. Include happy remarks throughout lessons

D. Find humour from the behaviour of students

E. Humour is a kind of daily show for teachers

F. Humour can improve learning and strengthen memories

G. Newspapers provide points for issues on current events

Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet. The researchers found that the majority of nitrogen pollution present in wastewater—some 67 to 100 precent—is a by-product of water people consume.

Once it enters the environment, the nitrogen can have a series of ecological impacts. It helps algae grow much faster than they would normally, which is harmful to humans, other animals and plants. And when the algae eventually die, the problem is not over. Microorganisms(微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to "dead zones," where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans.

Although it is possible to treat algal blooms, many of the current methods are not always effective at getting rid of all of the harmful growth. Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution. So the best strategy for dealing with the effects of nitrogen pollution is prevention, says Patricia Glibert, an ocean scientist at the University of Maryland. Almaraz and her team suggest that controlling nitrogen pollution could be approached more quickly with a change in eating habits that could save billions of dollars in the long term.

A heart attack occurs when a blood vessel (血管) distributing oxygenated blood to the heart gets blocked and a piece of heart tissue dies from the deprivation of oxygen, according to Flavio Fenton, a professor of physics who studies both human and other animal species' hearts. "Since animals' hearts are very similar," Fenton said, "most animals hearts, in principle, could have heart attacks."

But that's not what happened. For instance, heart attacks occur very rarely in dogs. Even the chimps, which are not only closely related to humans but also share similar risk factors for heart disease, do not have heart attacks. Even in mice and rabbits that are genetically modified to have high cholesterol (胆固醇) and blood fats for the purpose of inducing atherosclerosis and other human diseases, actual heart attacks rarely occur, according to a 2009 paper.

Despite previous reports that other animals mostly don't have heart attacks, the truth is that there haven't been a lot of experiments investigating this question. "You can observe that an animal has suddenly died, but very rarely would you actually look for the cause of it. We just don't know whether they suffer heart attacks," said Tomasz Owerkowicz, a physiologist at California State University.

But based on heart structures, researchers can make predictions about which creatures are most likely to have heart attacks. Owerkowicz and Fenton are doing such experiments on alligators (短吻鳄). "In their heart, you find the vessels; and they have spongy (海绵状的) tissues, around which there's a lot of blood, not necessarily coming from the vessels," Fenton said.

According to the researchers' experiments so far, alligators don't have heart attacks. The alligator's heart tissue had no signs of cell death, Fenton added.

Daprano grew up in Iowa. Then, she moved to California. As a primary school teacher, she began running in order to keep up with her student."I was known as a running teacher," she said."I had my students do fitness before we studied in the morning and then throughout the day."Then she began running competitively with 5K and 10K road races before moving to the track. She is now the world record holder in the women's 75-year-old age group 400 meters and 800 meters. "When I get to the final fi nish line, I want this body to be worn out. I'm not doing this to live to be 100. I'm doing this to be the best I can be today."

After moving to Atlanta about a decade ago, Daprano met fitness trainer David Buer. Ever since, she's been coming to his gym, where he tailors workouts for Daprano's specifc needs."When she came to me, she was pushing 70 years old,"Buer said."I've worked with other individuals of Jeanne's age, but she came to me with different goals. She had a unique drive and passion—not just a passion for fitness or athletics but for life in general."

Last February, Daprano took on a new challenge: her first indoor rowing competition. In classic fashion, she broke the world record in the 80-to-84 age group, rowing 2,000 meters in 9:23:7. For those hoping to either start getting in shape or stay in shape for a long time, she offers this advice: Listen to your body. What are you passionate about? How are you going to keep physically fit and mentally fit? Start where you are. Don't look ahead or compare yourself to somebody else.

Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don't and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid.

Always being distracted. Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of fundamental importance in learning. Study can't make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.

Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!

We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner? Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.

Giving up. "The most certain way to succeed," Thomas Edison once said, "is always to try just one more time." And often, it comes after first failing time and time again.

If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices.

A. Giving in to laziness.

B. Learning to get rid of laziness.

C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error.

D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.

E. Success, however you define it, never comes from not trying.

F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.

G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.

However, he hated it, and had hated the whole idea since his father bought him a gun. But he was determined to go through with it. He loved his father, and wanted his approval more than anything in the world.

They came to a narrow and hidden place facing the bay. Jeremy sat down nervously and waited. To reduce fear, he took a picture of his father against the clean water. Then he put the camera hurriedly on the grass and picked up his gun.

Jeremy got his gun ready. "I'll let you shoot first," his father said, loading his own gun. "You know, I've been waiting for a long time for this day. Just the two of us..."He broke off, bending forward, eyes narrowed. "There's a small flight heading this way now. Keep your head down. I'll give you the word."

The sun came out. Jeremy could see everything clearly: his father's face, tense and eager; the white frost on the gun. His heart was beating wildly. He prayed, "Don't let them come, please!"

But they kept coming. "Four black," his father said. "One mallard." High above, Jeremy heard the pulsing whistle of wings as the flight began to circle. The mallard was leading, his feet dropping down, reaching for the silver-colored water. Closer, closer... "Get set," his father whispered.

"Now!" cried Jeremy's father. "Take them!"

Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, holding the gun. In the same instant, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. "Shoot!" said something sharply in Jeremy's brain. But up went the mallard higher still, until suddenly he caught the full force of the wind and flew away, out of range.

The Students' Union

Chinese architect and writer Lin Huiyin was posthumously awarded (追授) a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Weitzman School of Design of the University of Pennsylvania in(recognize) of her outstanding contributions as a pioneer of modern architecture in China.

(comment) on the decision, Weitzman Dean Fritz Steiner said that "All the men from China received full scholarships and Lin got half of one. She was the only woman and the only student who (deny) an architecture degree by the School. " "But she deserved that degree. "

In 1924, with her admission application to the architecture program of the University of Pennsylvania(reject), Lin had to study in the only department accepted female students — the School of Finc Arts. Apart from completing her art courses as well as most ofrequired architecture courses, Lin also worked as a teaching assistant in architectural design and outperformed most of her male peers(academic).

After returning to China, as the first Chinese female architect in modern times, Lin achieved great success in architectural history, design, and education war and disease.

With the historical revision of gender(equal) being underway overseas, Lin's legendary story has now become known to generations of young people. This is not just a story aboutChinese women are breaking through stereotypes (刻板印象) and historical limits, but also serves as a role model for modern Chinese women.
