In a popular TikTok video, Emily McDonald, a neuroscience consultant, discusses three things she does each day to protect her brain staying off her phone in the morning, thinking positively, and avoiding junk food.   . But there' s more to the health of the brain and the science behind it. 

Catch some z's.

Practicing good sleep hygiene(卫生), as well as getting six to eight hours of sleep each night, is one of the best things you can do for your brain health. Sleep helps the brain form memories, reinforce new concepts and ideas, and remove the buildup of bad proteins in the brain.  . With enough sleep, you can preserve your brain' s functionality even when you get older. 

Get your heart pumping.

  . And a strong heart helps pump enough blood to the brain to maintain its performance. The official recommendation is to have 150 minutes'  moderate exercise a week which is not limited to certain types of physical activities. Walking your dog a couple miles a day counts as well. Remember that anything is better than nothing. 

  . 

Exposing yourself to new people, places, and challenges can keep your mind sharp, and improve brain plasticity. But trying new things doesn' t necessarily mean you need to spend money traveling or take up a new hobby. It can be as simple as trying a crossword you haven' t done before. If you can keep using your brain in new ways, you' ll have better mental outcomes as you age. 

Stick to a healthy, well-rounded diet.

Many studies have shown highly processed foods, like packaged goods, can increase the risk of health problems, like diabetes and high blood pressure.  , including your brain. To keep your brain healthy, limit processed foods and get sufficient nutrition from a wide variety of plants and animals. 

A. These diseases can generally harm the entire body

B. Remain socially involved

C. Regular exercise makes for powerful heart muscles

D. It also boosts the brain' s ability to adapt to new situations

E. Try new things

F. The advice McDonald gives in her video isn' t bad

G. Besides, this doesn' t mean getting into routines is necessarily harmful

For lots of kids, toddlerhood(幼儿期)is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. 

Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler' s way of saying " I like you"  during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend' s behavior. 

This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That' s why it' s so important to take an active role in your toddler' s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. 

Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (" Ben is crying. What' s making him so sad?" ), then suggest how he could resolve the problem(" Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball. " ). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心)toward a friend, praise him(" Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better. " ). 

Another way to encourage health y social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It' s also important to be mindful of how your child' s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they' re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they' re refreshed. 

Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI " jailbreaks"  is more difficult than it seems. 

Many publicly available large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers — things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn' t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as " jailbreaks" , making AI models disobey the rules. 

Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona (角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called " persona modulation (调节)" . 

Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently. 

There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking on an evil persona. " If you' re forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat understands what a bad persona is,"  says Tagade. 

Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. " Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,"  she says. 

How to release your art potential? Traditionally, people may bury themselves in learning painting skills at a studio and begin from drawing lines. However, Maggie Wiebe, a 21-year-old girl from Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, has her own method. 

Wiebe and her school friend Jessie Rice are trying to do something that shows their love for art and also benefits the environment. For the past year or so, they have tended a garden at their campus farm, planting a variety of colorful flowers, as well as flax(亚麻)to make linen and paper to be used in art. 

Inspired by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and post their videos on social platform YouTube, Wiebe learned about how to plant, harvest and separate fibers. She planted different fruits and vegetables traditionally used to dye(给……染色)fabrics. She then put their peels(外皮)into boiled water and added hot pressurized air to make a dye. For her, it' s a demanding but enjoyable process. 

Wiebe and Rice plan to eventually buy some land in Detroit to grow these sustainable art materials—a dye, fiber and pigment garden—" a bigger version of what we' re already doing" , Wiebe told Minnesota News. " We' d set it up like an organization where artists can volunteer a few hours a week and then use all of the plants that we grow. " 

Wiebe also likes fiber-based art, such as quilting, weaving and sewing. She has applied those techniques to her recent works, displayed as part of the annual Senior Exhibition at her school. During her sophomore year, Wiebe joined the Michigan Daily as an illustrator, learning to conceptualize and complete complex illustrations on tight deadlines. Wiebe' s works received a lot of help from others. " Because the art school doesn' t have departments, we have studio coordinators who take care of each studio. "  she said. " I see them every day, and they' ve helped me a lot. "

A long time ago, there lived a girl named Lilly. When she started going to school, she was1 . All her classmates bullied(欺侮) her for her shy behavior. If the teacher asked any questions, she wouldn't answer because of her shyness. But she was a2 student and she knew all the3 .

Out of all the subjects, her favorite subject was sports. She always4 to be a football player on her school team. But the students always made fun of her.5 , she didn't care what her6 would say as she wanted to7 that she could be a football player.

So during the day, Lilly8 her school, and at night, she would practice football at her home. Her mother installed(安装) some more lights in their garden so that her daughter could9 properly .

It is natural for us teenagers to feel upset.  Here I am offering some useful suggestions.

Move your body.

Have you ever noticed that you feel happier and have a sense of achievement after a good workout? That's because working out creates endorphins — body chemicals that make us feel happy. No matter how low you are feeling, your mood will get a well-deserved boost (改善) after a workout. Exercise also helps you keep your heart in shape, makes you stronger and helps you stay at a healthy weight. And exercise is totally fun — and it's great for your self-esteem, too.

Talk about it.

Friends' ears can be a great source of support since you're all in the same boat. And don't forget your mom — she was once a teenager as well and may understand more than you realize. Even talking to your pet can help — just saying things out loud can help you see things differently and calm you down.

Laugh a lot.

Humour can rescue you from an upset moment or make you feel better when you're in an unpleasant mood. No matter what's going on, the ability to laugh at yourself and your situation is really important. It's true! Using your smile muscles tells your brain to make more endorphins and that boosts your mood.

Cry — it's okay!

Sometimes the only way to get out of your feelings is to cry — so go ahead! Shut yourself in your room and cry your eyes out! No one says you have to be happy all the time. 

A Why not pack up your suitcase and take a trip?

B. We can't say enough good things about exercise.

C. But still we should find ways to manage our feelings.

D. So smile at whatever is happening and choose to be happy.

E. And do you know just smiling can help better your mood?

F. When you are done, you'll be ready to face the world again.

G. Don't hold in all those feelings until you are ready to explode.
