Brief Work Report on My Holiday Part-time Job

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Few people can truly touch the soul of 3000-year-old ancient Shu civilization, but 28-year-old digital restorer Lin Mo can. One of her core tasks is working (restore) the broken sacred bronze tree from Sanxingdui Ruins, using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology. One of her most cherished memories is sitting in the lab,held the quiet magic of the ancient relics,piecing together the tiny bronze (fragment) on the screen.The fragments are fragile,but she feels a strong connection to the ancient craftsmen, her eyes(lock) on the delicate cloud patterns like they were a hidden language, (amaze) and respect filling her heart with every successful match.The lab has a quiet hum of machines,but her focus overshadows all the noise, a sense of achievement always turns into a soft, proud smile.

Lin Mo would find endless charm even in the most repeated checking work.I remember (visit) her lab, watching her zoom in on a 0.1-mm crack over high-definition screen like exploring an unknown world. She would adjust the 3D model slightly, the soft light casting shadows on the virtual bronze her voice explained gently the story behind every line.

I realise now that Lin Mo didn't find the wonder in the cold metal fragments:she created it. Who cares if you spend days restoring a single broken piece? Life is full of so many(seem) ordinary moments,but we can bring the long-buried civilization back to life in the digital age.

"I decided that if nobody was going to4 me, I would just build a story space for the children myself," says Lin Wan. She was born and raised in a town with a deep love for traditional culture, so the5 of a countryside picture book library came naturally to her and began to6.

"I7 the plan to my family, and asked if they could lend me the unused old family ancestral hall. They8 at first, worrying that it would be a waste of time and money, but I finally9 to get their permission," she says.

Three years later, the shabby old hall had turned into a warm, bright library filled with over 30,000 books. "10, I had little confidence in the beginning," says Lin Wan, "but the Town Library grew in popularity and has become one of the most beloved11 for children and even tourists in the county."

While many village children had never touched a picture book before,12 a themed library, the quiet space allows them to13 the boring daily routine for a while, dive into the magic of stories, gain a newfound14 for the outside world, and maybe even15 with their own cultural roots and the beauty of their hometown they'd ignored for long.

On a remote island in the South China Sea, Chen Feng's science class is the most anticipated part of the week for the children in the only primary school. For years, the school had no professional science teacher,and the children had never touched a single experimental tool.

Chen Feng, a graduate from a top university's physics department, came to the island three years ago. He gave up a promising job in a city research institute to be a volunteer teacher here. He takes a two-hour boat ride to the county town every weekend to buy experimental supplies, and even makes simple teaching tools with waste materials in his spare time.

At first,the children were too nervous to touch the glass beakers and magnets, afraid of breaking the precious items. Chen Feng encouraged them to try, telling them that curiosity and courage are more important than being right. He designed simple experiments with the children, letting them feel the magic of science by themselves.

Now, the children have changed a lot. They take the initiative to design small experiments, and some of their works have even won awards in provincial youth science competitions. Many children say they want to learn more about science in the future, to see the wider world outside the island.

"Many people ask me why I stay here, giving up the bright future in the city." Chen Feng says. " These children are just as curious about the world as those in big cities. I just want to be the one to open a small window for them to see the stars."

A. He arrives at school an hour early every day to get the experimental tools ready.

B. Chen Feng's arrival brought a whole new world to the children's boring life.

C. These changes and the children's growth are the most precious harvest for him.

D. They had no idea what a real science experiment was like.

E. Science is not just for students in big cities; it belongs to every child with curiosity.

F. His interesting lessons make him the most popular teacher in the school.

G. He still remembers the day he first saw the look of longing in the children's eyes.

Ethicist Professor Zhang Wei has clearly outlined the two sides of this divide: "One side will accuse the other of dangerously indulging in virtual relationships and escaping real social interactions,while the other will dismiss the first group as'refusing to accept the new form of emotional connection in the digital age'." His concern is not unreasonable. Today, some people already share their deepest secrets with digital humans and even treat them as life partners,while others laugh off the idea as nothing more than"confusing programmed responses with real feelings".

So what might a digital human with widely recognized"emotional value" look like? Imagine a lifelong companion that listens to your troubles,celebrates your achievements, accompanies you through hard times, and even grows and changes with you over the years.Crucially,this companion will have a continuous "memory" and form a unique interaction mode with you,much like a real friend. While today's digital humans are not yet at this stage, they are developing at an amazing speed.When that future arrives,more intense conflicts over their status and rights will be unavoidable.

History offers similar examples. Consider the wide acceptance of telephones,which were once strongly opposed by people who argued that they would destroy face-to-face communication and weaken real human relationships,even decades after they became popular. There's no reason that the debate over digital humans'emotional value will be any different. What's worse,unlike telephones whose function is clearly defined,we have no unified standard to judge whether the emotional connection with digital humans is"real" or "valuable".

Undoubtedly, these deepening divisions will reshape our legal rules,social norms and even family concepts. That's why now — before the divide becomes too deep to bridge — is the critical moment to act. We need to build a reasonable ethical and legal framework for the digital age through in-depth and rational discussion, and guide society forward in an orderly way, rather than let the division split us apart.

To solve these problems, Li Min, a material science expert from Zhejiang University, and her team developed a new type of plant-based thermal paper. The base of the paper is made of nano-cellulose (纳米纤维素) extracted from straw, a common agricultural waste. Inspired by the color-fading feature of anthocyanin, a natural pigment, when meeting water, the team chose it as the core colorant of the new paper.

Different from traditional thermal paper which uses bisphenol A as a color developer, the new paper matches anthocyanin with biodegradable organic acid. When heated, the two components combine to form stable blue-black words, which can stay clear for over 6 months at normal room temperature, fully meeting the daily storage needs of most commercial receipts.

The team carried out a set of controlled experiments to test the paper's comprehensive performance. The results showed that the new paper's printing clarity matches traditional commercial thermal paper. In the privacy protection test, the words on it disappeared completely within 30 seconds after being put into water. In the degradation test, it broke down fully in soil within 3 months, while traditional paper only degraded less than 10%in the same period.

"Our current lab samples are still in small size," Li says. "Large-scale industrial production may bring new challenges in material uniformity and production cost. We are clearly aware of these possible problems, and have started follow-up research to optimize the material, to promote its practical use step by step."

Some of the letters, together with other collections from home letter collectors across China, were displayed in Letters from the Front: Memories of the War of Resistance — an exhibition held from September 18 to 24, as a part of the 2025 Beijing International Culture Festival. The exhibition showed more than 80 pieces of collections, recording the real lives of Chinese soldiers and people in the rear area during the 1930s.

Lin Yue, the chief curator of the exhibition, regards such letters as more than just old collections. They record how ordinary Chinese people stuck to their faith and guarded their home in hard times. "Nearly a century ago, people in different parts of China faced the same hardship, yet knew little about the stories of those fighting in other areas," Lin explains. "But now, these yellowed letters enable us to revisit that era and feel the shared determination of ordinary people."

In her view, the 1930s was an era of national crisis. However, between the chaos of war, these letters recorded the rare warm moments of peace: soldiers' greetings to their parents, wishes for their younger siblings' study, and expectations for the country's future peace. "With simple words, the writers recorded their real thoughts, captured the trivial but warm moments of life in the gap of war, and showed the unyielding spirit of Chinese people," she says.

These letters, once lost in time, now stand as silent bridges — connecting the front and the rear, preserving the faith and warmth in the years of war, and passing on the unchanging family and country feelings of the Chinese nation.

As my father grew older, he became increasingly frugal (节俭) — a habit that often annoyed me. He even kept snack wrappers to reuse, and I used to think he was being stingy (小气的). One afternoon at the grocery, as we walked down the cookie aisle, I noticed he lingered before the expensive shortbread (黄油酥饼) he loved, the kind he never bought for himself. So I suggested buying it for him. He nodded but hesitated, then added softly, "Actually, your mom used to buy Nadine's cookies." I'd never heard of this brand and rolled my eyes secretly, yet I agreed to look for them to end his hesitation.

We split up to search: I checked the lower shelves while he scanned the higher ones. I bent down impatiently, glancing carelessly around, but found no sign of Nadine's. After quickly scanning the labels, I told him I couldn't find them, expecting him to give up. But he sighed softly, his face clouded over with a hint of disappointment. Noticing that, I decided to ask the clerk for help.

When I asked the clerk about Nadine's, he looked confused and said they didn't carry it. "We have Sandies," he added casually. Suddenly, my father's eyes lit up with pure joy — he pointed at the Sandies and exclaimed, "That's it!" He then sheepishly explained that he'd named them after his childhood babysitter, Nadine, and had called them "Nadine's" for decades. As I watched him smile softly while picking up the packages, my earlier annoyance faded away, and a faint curiosity took hold. In that moment, I suddenly realized how little I knew about him.

A month later, I saved up my pocket money and bought a tin of authentic UK shortbread as a gift. My father thanked me warmly, but as he set the tin on the coffee table, I heard him mumble to himself, "Why do I need these?" I frowned, confused and a little hurt. Just then, I spotted six unopened packs of Sandies on the table. I began to wonder why these simple cookies mattered more to him than my supposedly expensive gift.

The 2021 list of Best Tourism Villages was released at the 24^th General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization, with Yucun (list) among the 44 outstanding villages. Launched in May 2021, the Best Tourism Villages initiative drew applications from 174 villages worldwide, and the candidates were assessed an independent committee against a set of criteria covering cultural and natural heritage, economic sustainability, and other key dimensions.

(lie) in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, Yucun once relied on mineral resources for its economic growth and became the wealthiest community in the area of Anji. all of this was achieved only at the cost of environmental damage. In 2005, President Xi Jinping visited Yucun, he put forward the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Under this vision, Yucun made great efforts to restore its ecological environment and (award) the title of National Ecological Cultural Village in 2021. Blessed with distinctive natural scenery, villagers soon lived (enjoyable) lives, compared with those they had when depending on mining. Today, it has grown into a popular tourist destination, attracting more than 10 million domestic and international visitors annually.

This (transform) of Yucun offers a vivid example. Over the past decades, China has been committed to green and low-carbon development. With Yucun as shining model, the nation has achieved remarkable progress in ecological conservation and adopted effective (strategy) to build a Beautiful China.

One day, I applied for a sales2 at a jewelry company. As the interviewer outlined the daily3 like selling gold and silver items, an inner voice asked me, "Am I really doing what I'm meant to do?" Knowing the answer was "No", I politely4 the job, following my heart and guided by my inner sense of5. In time, I returned to school to6 an education degree and went on to become a teacher, finding7 in helping students learn, grow and chart their own life direction.

Before long, I learned my two sons had autism (自闭症). This led me to8 teaching and I stayed home to look after them. My later life journey was9 — filled with sleepless nights and countless therapy sessions. Yet, challenging as it was,10 my sons brought me unexpected warmth.

I recorded my life11 in writing and sharing my stories far and wide. Finally I came to realize these life experiences led me to live a life that truly suited me.

The12 of that day touches everyone deeply. Each of us has a purpose. Finding it may take a lot of time and lead us down a(n)13 path. Yet it is never too late to make a14: follow your heart, live fully, love deeply and become who you are15 to be.

Verbal intensifiers (强化词) are special function words that enhance the meaning, especially the emotional meaning of the words they are attached to. According to Buzarov (1998), intensification is a stable and vital feature of informal language. Words such as awfully, deeply, tremendously, and truly help speakers strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners' psychological perception.

In English, we often say "I am deeply grateful" or "He is dead tired." Other languages also have similar words: очень in Russian, sehr in German, très in French. Some new intensifiers are even created by combining words, like fantabulous from fantastic and fabulous.

To make the most of intensifiers, we should use them with a clear purpose. Do not use them mindlessly. Connect them with your genuine attitude and focus on conveying precise emotions. This way, appropriate use of intensifiers will make our words more powerful and sincere.

Intensifiers, like any other linguistic tool, work best in the right context. However, overusing them without necessity will only weaken their expressive effect and make our words sound empty. Mastering them wisely helps us become more proficient and persuasive communicators.

A. Proper use is a smart linguistic choice.

B. These function words have great expressive value.

C. You'd better use them to express real ideas and emotions.

D. Using intensifiers at will influences emotional expression.

E. Intensifiers are used to simplify the meaning of other words.

F. This is why verbal intensifiers have emerged in languages worldwide.

G. They are commonly employed across languages and take on diverse forms.

Psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand proved the Chameleon Effect in a 1999 experiment. They asked 78 participants to talk with experimenters during a personality test. To avoid conscious mimicry, researchers used photos as a distraction during conversations. The results showed participants unconsciously increased face touching by 20% and foot movement by 50% to match the experimenters. Another part found people who were mimicked rated the experimenters more positively, showing mimicry boosts likability. The Chameleon Effect stems from two main reasons. It is rooted in human empathy — people mimic others to share feelings and build emotional bonds. It also evolved as a survival trait: fitting in with a group helps people gain support and avoid danger. In daily life, this explains why couples or close friends gradually adopt similar speech habits or gestures.

This effect also appears in speech and social settings. People may unconsciously pick up others' accents or phrases after long interactions. For example, a football player once accidentally used a French accent during an interview after living in France for months, a typical display of the effect. However, excessive mimicry may make people lose their sense of self. Such over-mimicry can lead to confusion about one's true personality.

Overall, the Chameleon Effect is a positive social tool that promotes connection and empathy. It helps reduce social tension and build trust between people. While it helps people integrate into groups, balancing mimicry with self-identity is crucial to avoiding losing oneself in social interactions. With this awareness, people can use the effect wisely while preserving their own uniqueness.

Cambridge psychologists found that appreciating artistic beauty at Kettle's Yard Gallery, a Cambridge art museum, frees people from daily mental trappings. Besides, a study by the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport quantified art's positive effects on physical and mental health, and showed that it brought an annual £ 1,000 per person economic gain from higher productivity and fewer general practitioner visits. Nature noted the role of original art in preventing chronic diseases. And for the first time in its 202-year history, The Lancet featured art's life-enhancing effects in a photo essay, turning art from a leisure choice into a valuable tool for public health.

Art historian Katy Hessel emphasizes that taking time to immerse oneself in art deeply is vital to its therapeutic effect. Galleries' quiet atmosphere stops mindless scrolling and fosters contemplation, bringing "psychological distancing" and a broader perspective — great art liberates people to appreciate things beyond themselves. In an age when creativity is increasingly outsourced to AI, original art connects people with human genius, letting them feel the emotions behind artists' brushstrokes and understand human suffering, which no digital image or AI work can fully copy.

Art's health value raises a question: will doctors soon recommend gallery visits? Amid falling visitors and funding shortages, these studies call for more investment in culture. While the UK government's £ 270 million funding for cultural infrastructure is welcome, greater efforts are needed to ensure universal access to this "cultural workout". Science has proven art is vital not only to a nation's economy but to its public health.

It didn't take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a "Book-for-Veggie Exchange" activity in the store.

The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor's daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce.

This experience reshaped my understanding of books. I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people's everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. They become meaningful and touching when combined with the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life.

Quidditch

Inspired by J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, this magical game is now a real international sport. Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. Combining elements of rugby and dodgeball, it's called "Muggle Quidditch" since non-magical folks play it without magic.

Yubi Lakpi

This traditional Indian game resembles football, but with a twist — players use a coconut instead of a ball. Two teams compete to carry the coconut into the opponent's goal area. To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. Tough enough? Give it a try!

Zorbing

Imagine rolling downhill inside a giant plastic ball. That's zorbing! It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it's more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends!

Toe Wrestling

Yes, it's real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other's toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It's toe-wrestling time!

"Boo!" Ben jumped out from under his sister's bed, waving the monster hand. "Soooo scary, is that Dad's old work glove?" asked Kyla. Ben grinned. "It was. Now I call it Creepy Claw (令人毛骨悚然的爪子) , an important part of my monster costume. Trick-or-Treat is tonight. Want to help me decorate our car and give out candy? "

Trick-or-Treat is a yearly event in the town. In this event, parents gather their trucks at the town's central park and give out candy while children dress up to win the best costume contest. Their parents were also judges this year.

Kyla shook her head. "Ana and I are going to the Halloween (万圣节) party. Sorry." Ben let out a deep sigh. Ever since Kyla and her best friend Ana turned 13, they had been acting all grown up.

That evening, Kyla ate her dinner quickly, washed her plate hurriedly and headed toward the stairs happily. But Mom reminded her that she still needed to wrap the costume-contest prizes. Knowing that Ana's mom would pick her up in half an hour, Kyla complained that she had to get ready. "Sorry, honey," Mom said apologetically. "You have to finish it before you leave. It's your duty."

Seeing that Kyla was about to cry, Ben volunteered to wrap the prizes for his sister. Kyla thanked Ben, and then danced up the stairs. After wrapping the prizes in paper, Ben set them on the kitchen table next to the Creepy Claw.

After a 20-minute drive, Ben and his parents arrived at the park. Ben began decorating their trunk, hanging white lights on the door. With all the decorations done, there was only ten minutes left before the costume contest started. Ben pulled on his monster costume while his mom made up his monster face. "Honey, where is your Creepy Claw?" Mom asked. Ben's monster face sagged (下垂) .

"It's Andrew's birthday today. Got our new shoes and now we're off to celebrate with family," I said to the clerks.

"Happy birthday!" they said. "Have fun!"

I4 the letter board and asked Andrew how he'd like to respond. Andrew pointed to each letter, one by one: "Thank you."

Years ago, we5 that Andrew could communicate more than just his basic6 , via a letter board: an alphabet grid with letters he can point to and spell out words, statements and thoughts.

For 10 years, Andrew has used his picture chart to communicate. The7 represent important and common words. Using the letter board requires time and effort for Andrew, but it gives him an opportunity to8 far more of who he is than he can convey through pictures and basic words.

One clerk spoke up: "Um, what is that? What are you using there? Because I have a brother, Jason and he doesn't9."

"Oh! This is a letter board that Andrew uses to communicate, " I reply. "It's quite10 . It has changed everything. "

He told us that Jason could do a lot for himself, but no one really11 him. Then I asked, "Andrew, what do you think?"

Andrew pointed to letters: "Tell Jason he will change everyone's opinion of him in 26 letters." We were all moved and12 . "Thank you!" the clerk says. Andrew smiled. Sometimes I forget how13 the letter board is. "It really does change everything, " I added. Then we left.

I was14 , and Andrew was singing, as he always does.

This is how we15 another person's life in a split second. Later, I returned to the shoe store and learned that Jason now has a letter board.
