When I first moved to the new community, I found it difficult to adapt. Everything was unfamiliar, and I felt like an outsider in a place where everyone seemed to know each other.

One day, I returned from a morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys, only to realize that I had lost them. As all of them are tied together including my car key, I decided to return to the paths we'd taken. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace (折返) our steps, but the result was disappointing.

Back home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the chair in exhaustion (筋疲力尽). The house key wasn't that important as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but there was often something wrong with it, and the key would be expensive to replace. The iron heart made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. Thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes.

That night, it turned colder and we had a snow. Suddenly I heard the noise of my car alarm from the garage (车库). I rushed to the car, put the extra key into the door and finally opened it, and then I hurriedly tried my best to stop the alarm. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbours being disturbed and annoyed.

I went back in the house but the alarm started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm sounded again. I repeated the process. Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Thinking it was a neighbour ready to complain at me, I opened the door cautiously(谨慎地). To my surprise, in the light snow stood three neighbours from several streets away.

The Mongolian art of singing: Khoomei (呼麦), or Hooliin Chor (throat harmony), is a style of singing in a single performer produces a diversified harmony of multiple voice parts, including a continued bass (低音) element (produce) in the throat. These singers may perform alone in groups.

Khoomei (practise) today among Mongolian communities in several countries, (especial) in Inner Mongolia in northern China, western Mongolia and the Tuva Republic of Russia. Traditionally performed on the occasion of routine ceremonies, songs express respect and praise for the natural world, for the ancestors of the Mongolian people and for great (hero). The form is reserved for special events and group activities such as horse races, archery and wrestling tournaments, large banquets and sacrificial ceremonies. The timing and order of songs is often strictly regulated. Khoomei has long been regarded as a central element (represent) Mongolian culture and remains a strong symbol of (nation) or ethnic identity. As a window into the philosophy and aesthetic values of the Mongol people, it has served a kind of cultural emissary (使者) promoting understanding and friendship among China, Mongolia and Russia, and has attracted attention around the world as unique form of musical expression.

Water is one of the few substances necessary to sustain (维持) life, but pure water may be difficult to find. Exhaustion (疲劳) will cause you to sweat heavily, resulting in a salt shortage that causes dehydration (脱水). An easy way to collect water is to collect dew (露水) in the morning for water.

Feeling of hunger can be ignored with a positive attitude. Some people have to eat insects, earthworms and other animals that are easy to catch. Plants, however, should not be eaten unless they are not poisonous. Knobby berries, such as blackberries and raspberries, are also simple to identify.

In heavy rains or snow, you can build a shelter with branches and ropes. Use as many branches as possible for added stability and protection against the wind and weather. If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid sun exposure.

Remember calm is extremely important in any emergency. Find a water source, identify food to gather and find shelter. By focusing on these basics, you can turn yourself into a survivor.

A. Nuts are easy to identify and are nutritious.

B. Water can set the line between life and death.

C. Keep your body temperature as normal as possible.

D. If there is a shortage of water, do not exhaust yourself.

E. Protection from extreme temperatures is another concern.

F. Come up with a plan and don't waste time or energy by getting upset.

G. But food is another necessity if you are lost for a longer period of time.

The Voyage 2, first launched in 1977, has been helping scientists study faraway planets and understand how the heliosphere (日球层) protects Earth. With Voyage 2's power supply running out, NASA was about to shut down one of its five science instruments on the spacecraft. To keep it going, engineers had already given up heaters and other nonessential parts that used power.

However, engineers have now found a way to use reserve power from a safety mechanism to support Voyager 2. The move will enable the mission to put off shutting down a science instrument until 2026, rather than this year.

Ed Stone, who was the chief scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, has spent over half his life dedicated to the Voyager programme. He said, "What it revealed was how complex the solar system really is. Before Voyager, the only known active volcanoes were here on Earth. And the only known oceans in the solar system were here on Earth. But we have known more since the Voyager programme started."

Voyager 2 and its twin, Voyager 1 (launched the same year), are the only spacecrafts to have ventured beyond the heliosphere. Voyager 2 is 12.3 billion miles away from Earth and counting. Voyager 1, also facing an expiration (到期) date as it also loses power, is 14.7 billion miles away.

"The science data that the Voyager are returning gets more valuable the farther away from the Sun they go, so we are definitely interested in keeping as many science instruments operating as long as possible," Linda Spilker, the Voyager programmes project scientist at the Jet Propulsion Lab said.

NASA, meanwhile, has been working to make sure the Voyager doesn't end up with a slow failure, with officials weighing expensive and complex suggestions from several groups for a new, long-term probe.

The researchers said ARTEMIS is one of only a few humanoid robots that can run. It can also jump and walk on different kinds of surfaces without losing its balance. The robot also can kick a ball and remain standing even when kicked or hit. The engineers who built the robot said it can walk at a speed of 2.1 metres per second. This could make ARTEMIS the world's fastest walking humanoid robot.

The team said the goal of the project was to create a robot that can perform many human-like activities, particularly playing the sport of soccer. To do this, engineers said they modeled the devices that control the robot after human muscles. ARTEMIS uses a series of sensors and cameras to help it move and position itself.

Dennis Hong is a UCLA professor of engineering and the director of the university's Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory. He explained in a statement the reason ARTEMIS can keep good balance even when walking and running over uneven surfaces. It is because the robot is "getting both feet off the ground while in motion," Hong said. He added, "This is a first-of-its-kind robot." Another difference between ARTEMIS and other humanoid robots is that it is controlled electrically instead of by hydraulics (水力学). The developers said this makes the robot quieter and cleaner running. Over the next few weeks, they will work on perfecting the robot's soccer playing skills.

One member of the team, student Justin Quan, said his personal goal is engineering robots that can improve people's lives. "Seeing these robots helping push the robot technology to that next level is really rewarding because you're like, oh, the dream, it gets closer," he said.

Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician. She should also be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick. Sometimes she is in the driver's seat or using the water pump. Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to care for, as her husband is also a busy fire fighter. Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination.

When I asked Renee what the best part of her job was, she replied, "Helping people and saving lives." I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She's always willing to do anything for anyone in need. Renee says that her job is frightening at times, but extremely exciting. "The worst part of my job is that I see death. Actually, sometimes people die in the accident, for which I am very sorry." With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women, but that doesn't bother her. She says everyone can get a fair shot and do the same jobs.

I was inspired by this because I knew I would be very scared to do her job and didn't know if I could handle seeing people die. We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives. Renee's determination rubs off on me and makes me believe that I can do anything.
