—No.Only ________ hard working.

My great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother are teachers, and so are all my family. My mother had a fixed idea that I would become a teacher, too. Although I respected her and was indeed skilled at teaching something to my little cousins, I didn't agree that I should naturally follow in my mother's footsteps.

When I was a teenager, my mother happened to take me to a hospital which was run by one of her friends. It was the first time I had seen a busy medical environment in real life in person. Finding that I was curious about treating patients, my mother's friend Dr. Lee offered me an opportunity to shadow him (跟他实地参观) for a day. I eagerly accepted his offer! Observing the doctors and nurses in action, I felt a mix of anxiety and excitement. Seeing the healing (治愈) process and the impact of medical care on patients was a profoundly moving experience. I figured being a doctor would be the most rewarding career in the world. From that day, a thought formed in my mind that I wanted to become a doctor, but I doubted whether my mother would support me. After all, it was a completely different path from what she had planned for me. Therefore, I kept the thought to myself, because I knew she would still insist on holding onto her previous idea.

Anyway, besides discussing with my mother about teaching, I would often visit Dr. Lee's hospital. Gradually, I got familiar with the medical equipment and procedures, and I learned a lot about healthcare, such as how to take vital signs (测生命体征), how to assist in minor surgeries, and so on. But what I had learned in the hospital just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional doctor.

Know your own culture

One of the best ways to understand other people's cultures is to first consider your own. Most of us don't realize that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else. Don't think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else's to be strange.

Learn about a different culture

Maybe you've recently met someone from a different culture, or you're curious about how different people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.

Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation:. Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.

A. Respect other cultures.

B. Appreciate the differences.

C. Ask questions if your friends are open to it.

D. In this way, you may find it hard to know your own culture.

E. Otherwise, it's hard to approach those differences with respect.

F. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.

G. These will help you get an insider's view on a different culture.

As children's free time and imaginations become more and more tightly joined to the social media, we need to understand that uncontrolled access to the Internet comes at a cost. This spring, I visited with a group of high school students in Connecticut to have a conversation about the role that social media plays in their daily lives and in their mental health. More children today report feeling depressed, lonely, and disconnected than ever before.

There are countless problems with children and teenagers using social media. But the high schoolers with whom I met alerted me to a hidden result of teenagers' growing addiction to social media: the death of exploration and discovery. Algorithmic recommendations now do the work of discovering and pursuing interests, finding community, and learning about the world. Kids today are, simply put, not learning how to be curious, critical adults—and they don't seem to know what they've lost.

We all know the journeys in life matter just as much as the destinations. It is the sweat to get the outcome that makes the outcome more fulfilling and satisfying.

What the kids I spoke to did not know is that these algorithms have been designed in a way that unavoidably makes and keeps users unhappy. Social media companies know that content that generates negative feelings holds our attention longer than that which makes us feel good. If you are a teenager feeling bad about yourself, your social media feed will keep delivering you videos and pictures that are likely to produce negative feelings.

We should take some measures. Teenagers and kids are to be inspired to determine if we will really be happier as a species when machines and algorithms do all the work for us, or if fulfillment only comes when humans actually do the work, searching and discovering, of being human.

To share the joy of its success at the chicken farm in Chishui, Guizhou province, the Tencent Cloud Artificial Intelligence Class(TCAIC) — a program set up by the university and tech giant Tencent — offered the free soup to all teachers and students at the university's cafeteria. As Spring Festival is on the way, the students in class said they decided to have the cafeteria turn these black-boned birds into "AI chicken soup" before the holiday to give teachers and students a taste of technology.

In the last eight months, about a dozen students from the class have devoted themselves to developing an intelligent farming system for the Silkie chickens in Chishui. Students learned from their previous experience in developing an AI goose type in Shantou, Guangdong, in 2022. Previously, they successfully improved the overall survival rate of the Lion-Head goose (African goose) by 30 percent because they made use of technologies such as "goose body recognition". Based on this success, the students risked the Silkie chicken farm in Chishui.

Using deep learning and computer vision technologies, they successfully identified 250,000 Silkie chickens to create a completed database. The result was the world's first intelligent Silkie chicken farming system, which increased the farm's output by 30 percent.

"This farming system combines the old tradition of free-range (自由放养的) farming and modern technology. It contributed to the production of high-quality Silkie chickens through the use of cloud technology," said Feng Yuhong, the Tencent class adviser. Zhang Xiaohong, the university's vice-president, also announced that the project not only marks a significant advancement in the application of AI in agriculture, but also enables students to deepen their understanding of technology and develop their practical skills.

From farming stock, Mary first went to work with her father at the age of 10. Profits from his coffee crop covered her school fees. She married into coffee too, with her husband giving her 100 trees as a wedding present. But Mary's since planted more than 300 herself and joined a women's cooperative. "The aim was to reduce the dependence of women on men in coffee." Mary says, though husbands are allowed to join too—as they tend to own the coffee plantations and support their wives. "More women have started to plant their own coffee." she says.

Mary rises early every day to pick the coffee cherries. "It's hard work but when you concentrate it can become easy." says Mary. After gathering the ripe fruit, she puts it in a bucket of water to weed out the unhealthy cherries. The beans are then fermented (发酵) in water for at least two days before being laid out to dry in direct sunlight. Once dried, the beans are gathered up and later collected by Endiro Coffee, a social enterprise working with women-led, organic farms. The coffee is later milled, roasted and ground, ready for use.

It hasn't been an easy journey for the Bududa farmers, who've faced annual landslides for the past 15 years. In 2018, Mary's mother's house was destroyed and she lost some of her coffee plantations. She dreams of living in a solidly built house with water nearby, so she doesn't have to trek (跋涉) a long way to fetch it－but these will take time to save for. "I've worked a lot and I don't want to stop, but I want my money to work for me." she says.

These hikes on some of Europe's best long distance trails (路线) offer a chance to reconnect with the world, get some energetic exercise and enjoy peaceful moments in some of the Europe's most beautiful scenery.

Hyssna Trail, Sweden

West Sweden's quiet beauty is the star of the show on this 40-kilometer, two-day hike. The round trail starts at Hyssna's12th century church, which can be accessed by bus from Gothenburg in just 40 minutes. The route is well guided, with plenty of picnic spots and a well appointed camp site.

Karhunkierros Trall, Finland

Finnish Lapland is well-known as a winter destination, with magical aurora borealis (极光) and an amazing ancient Sami culture. It's also home to the 82-kilometer Karhunkierros Trail, the most well-known long-distance walk in Finland. The path begins in Hautajarvi village in Lapland's Salla and ends at the Rukatunturi Fell in Kuusamo, taking four days.

King Charles III England Coastal Path, England

Covering an area of 4, 300 kilometers, the England Coastal Path is a lifetime's attempt for those who wish to cover every step. And it can be easily broken down into areas, with northwest, northeast, east, southeast and southwest regions to explore. Walking around the coast of Cornwall will leave anyone energetic.

Slovenian Mountain Trail, Slovenia

It's no surprise that the Slovenia Mountain Trail has become so popular. This attractive trail covering some 616 kilometers runs from Maribor in the country's northeast, all the way to Ankaran. And while doing it all together over 28 days might seem extreme, it can be broken into smaller regions. There are paths through the ancient forests and wetlands of the Pohorje Hills or across the Julian Alos.

When I was in seventh grade, my parents paid a tutor(家庭教师) forty dollars a week for her coming to my house and helping me with math. It ended up raising my marks from fifty to fifty-five.

I had to admit it was mainly my fault. Maybe I should have concentrated my math from the beginning. But studying math was a tough thing. Sitting on a chair to work on confusing math problems for two hours was a slow and painful process. During the process, I would fidget(坐立不安) and have many trips to the refrigerator in an attempt to get off that chair for at least five minutes.

During math tests, my teachers would always stay by my desk. My teachers and friends would frequently ask the question after tests," How's your math this time?" So I became extremely afraid of math. While normal people of my age were scared of some insects and adventurous travels, I feared anything to do with numbers. The thought of a teacher picking on me in class made me feel scared. The red marks on the test paper were also terrifying.

My fear of math got worse in ninth grade. Every report card I received from my new math teacher Ms Robbins had the comment to encourage me, "I'm glad to do what I can to help you." But I couldn't tell her the real reason why I didn't ask for help-I didn't want to be considered stupid. Every question I had was, in my opinion at the time, something that the whole class had understood but I. So instead, I ended up not caring about anything related to math, without working hard on math at all. And I concluded everything would work out in the end

Eventually, my classmates and I took the final test that would lead to our graduation from middle school and stepping into high school. Days after the exam-- on a rainy summer morning, Ms. Robbins called me.

I am a specially (train) clown doctor whose job is to cheer up patients, their families and the hospital staff doing magic tricks, singing songs and telling stories and silly jokes.

I (choose) this career because of the experience of going to hospital when was a kid , and I spent much of my time there feeling (fright) and more than a little bored, so I think being a clown doctor can help people by entertaining them.

Wearing my curly rainbow wig and a big red nose, I walk into the waiting room, there is a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. There, I spot a little girl called Lara, ankle has got injured and is twice its normal size. The doctors and nurses are treating her injury. (get) her attention, I begin to do a magic trick, which has made her scared and anxious look replaced with loud laughter. (see) their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara's parents more relaxed.

I hope clown doctors can help make the hospital friendlier place to visit. After all, is really true that laughter is the best medicine.

Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and were laughed at for it? And it's okay — we should even have a laugh about them.

Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are. You may feel bad about yourself because of past misfortune. However, it's normal to be imperfect. What's important is that you should be honest with yourself about who you are. You won't be able to laugh at yourself without self-acceptance.

Laughing at yourself helps increase your confidence. When you're able to stay optimistic and laugh at yourself, you are likely to be more successful in life. More importantly, it helps you realize your own weaknesses, so you know which areas to do better in.

Laughing at someone else may hurt their feelings even if you didn't intend to, while laughing at yourself does not. You might even bring a smile to their faces. Don't worry about losing respect from others, because people actually appreciate it when you laugh at yourself. Laughing at yourself shows that you have the courage to do so and you're being real about your imperfections, making people think you are likable.

As we all know, humans all make mistakes. So instead of blaming yourself, try to think of your mistakes in a positive way and accept yourself as you are. So please remember the above words.

B. Accept yourself despite your imperfections.

C. You should try to understand yourself better.

D. Chances are that we all have these kinds of experiences.

E. Laughing at yourself changes an ideal image of yourself.

White noise refers to a noise that has a mixture of all the audible (听得见的) frequencies that the human ear can detect. It is a combination of all the frequencies of sound played at once. It can cover the sounds of other noises because of its various frequencies, leading many people to experience its calming effects.

Studies have that listening to white noise positively found affects sleep. For example, people living in a high-noise area of New York City fell asleep faster and spent more of their time in bed asleep while listening to white noise. In another study, listening to white noise through headphones improved sleep quality for seriously ill patients in a loud hospital room. However, more research is needed to confirm whether the characteristics of white noise itself improve sleep or whether the sound primarily helps by covering background noise.

However, a recent analysis of multiple studies looking at white noise's effect on sleep has produced mixed results. The researchers are doubtful about the quality of existing evidence and conclude that further research is necessary in order to widely recommend white noise as a sleep aid. They also note that in some instances, white noise can disturb a person's sleep and may affect their hearing.

Despite that, researchers are still optimistic that the steady hum of white noise might reduce a sleeper's sensitivity to unpredictable noises from the environment, such as transportation sounds like cars and planes, which are considered a major contributor to poor sleep.
