Chloe had two pet rats, Zena and Roxy. Chloe knows they're not typical pets and she didn't like rats either till her friend Martin invited her to his house one day and showed her his pet rats. When she held a rat in her hands for the first time, she saw how loving and intelligent they were, so when one of Martin's rats had babies, Chloe decided she'd like to take two of them.

It wasn't easy to persuade Mum and Dad. But fortunately, a good school report arrived just before Chloe's birthday and her parents were in a good mood. When Mum asked Chloe what she wanted for her birthday, Chloe told her she'd like a pair of rats. After a heated discussion, Mum agreed but insisted they must live in Chloe's room and can never go to other parts of the house. Chloe was delighted, and two days later they went to Martin's house to collect Roxy and Zena.

In her room, Chloe opened the cage. First she picked up Roxy and put her on the floor. Then she picked up Zena and put her on her shoulder. Roxy loved to explore. She climbed bookcases and drawers and went under Chloe's bed. Zena was quieter and liked sitting on Chloe's shoulder while she read a book. A while later, Mum came and told her, "I'm going to my dance class. I'll be back about seven o' clock. Dad will make pasta tonight."

Mum closed the door. Chloe put Zena back in her cage and called for Roxy. She waited a moment and then started to look for her. Where could Roxy be? Then Chloe remembered that Mum had opened the door. Roxy might have gone out of the room!

Chloe started to search. She looked in her parents' room but Roxy wasn't there. Then she rushed downstairs to the kitchen only to see nothing. Chloe searched the whole house, calling Roxy's name the whole time.

It's OK to get a little messy while celebrating this holiday in India.

If you ever visit India and someone throws colored powder over you, it means that you have arrived during the Indian festival of Holi. (know) as the festival of colors, Holi (celebrate) on the last full moon in the lunar month of Phalguna (闰月), usually in March. This ancient tradition marks the end of winter and honors the victory of good evil. The night before Holi, people burn fires (say) goodbye to winter. They gather at temples to sing and dance to music. During the festival, families also prepare guiya, a dumpling-like sweet that's filled with dried (fruit) and nuts.

But the real fun starts on the day of Holi. That's people throw gual—bright powders and water—at anybody and everybody. These colored powders have special meaning: Red dye symbolizes love; blue represents Indian god Krishna, and green stands for new beginnings. During the festival, people often wear one of their (old) shirts because they know they can't avoid (hit). For days afterward, stains remain on people's clothes.

Indian people around the world celebrate this ancient tradition, including in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Suriname, South Africa Malaysia. And people in the United States and the United Kingdom throw Holi parties, too!

But there weren't any good paying1 just out of high school so I2 to join the Air Force. And the3 had gone out for volunteers to determine the4 of space travel on the human body. So I became one of the human guinea pigs (实验对象) who5 high speed rocket sleds (滑车).

The first time when the sled took off, it was almost6 everything in your body was being7 out through your back. And then when it stopped, it was like driving an vehicle at a hundred miles an hour and8 a stone wall.

I did it more than 65 times. I remember once when one of us was taken off the sled he was like a dish rag. The rest of us saw what happened to him but we were9 to get strapped (用带子绑住) in to that seat to10 the next experiment. We went up to Johnsville, Pennsylvania. There was a huge centrifuge (离心机) up. We rode that thing at high speeds. We had our hand on a little trigger (扳机) and the minute we started to11, our hand would come off the trigger and that would12 the machine.

The day that man went into13, I felt a14 come over my body when hearing the countdown. And even to this day, every time there's a liftoff, I think a little piece of me lifts off with each of those15.

Separation anxiety is a developmentally normal stage in a child's life. This type of anxiety serves an important adaptive function, helping the child keep their parents close and thus ensuring protection against potential external dangers. In earlier times, children with separation anxiety had a higher chance of survival. Today, this anxiety is part of expected child development. However, in some cases, the anxiety becomes severe and begins to interfere with daily childhood activities, such as separating from parents to go to school and make friends.

So, it's crucial to note that "object permanence (客体恒久性)" in children begins to develop gradually and reaches its peak between approximately 16 and 24 months. Until then, they do not understand that objects or people exist even though they cannot see them. When this behavior takes hold, we encounter separation anxiety disorder. This fear is no longer of an evolutionary type, and the affective bond comes into play, along with the type of attachment that the parents have established with the child.

As adults, it's important that we understand why our child feels this way and be patient with them. At these moments, saying "Stop crying, it's only going to be a little while that we will be away", will not help the child. It's important to confirm their emotions and how they feel.

Understanding and managing separation anxiety is a crucial part of your child's development. It's important to remember that this is a normal stage in their growth.

A. It begins to appear from 6 to 8 months of age.

B. It is at this point that separation anxiety actually appears.

C. Understanding separation anxiety in children is significant.

D. With patience and understanding, it can be effectively managed.

E. "Object permanence" plays an important role in separation anxiety.

F. A little concern in the child at the separation from their parents is normal.

G. This doesn't represent a return to a former state in your child's development.

"While most robots compute the shortest path from A to B, GOAT considers the travel pattern as well as the path to be taken," Hughes explains. "For example, instead of going around an obstacle like a stream, GOAT can swim straight through. If its path is hilly, it can passively roll downhill like a ball to save both time and energy, and then actively drive as a rover (漫游者) when rolling is no longer beneficial."

To design their robot, the CREATE team took inspiration from across the animal kingdom, including spiders and kangaroos. The team's bioinspired approach led to a design that is highly compliant (顺应的), meaning it adapts in response to interaction with its environment, rather than remaining unchangeable. This allows GOAT to actively alter its shape to change its passive properties, which range from more flexible in its ‘rover' model to stronger as a ball.

CREATE Lab PhD student Max Polzin explains that compliance also allows GOAT to navigate with minimal sensing equipment. With only a satellite navigation system and a device for measuring the robot's own direction, GOAT carries no cameras onboard. "It doesn't need complex sensing. It can use the environment, even with very limited knowledge of it, to find the best path," Polzin says.

Future research includes improved algorithms (算法) to help with GOAT's design. Looking ahead, the researchers see many potential applications for their device, from environmental monitoring to disaster response.

The problem isn't the snoring, but the reason behind it. The most common type of sleep apnea (呼吸暂停) is caused by weakened throat muscles relaxing too much during sleep, causing the airway to narrow or close. That leads to snoring plus long pauses between breaths. And when breathing is affected this way, the brain isn't getting the oxygen it needs. Obesity and age are considered the biggest risk factors for sleep apnea. Other risk factors include smoking, having a thick neck or narrow throat, family history and certain medical conditions.

Treating sleep apnea is far more important than just stopping snoring. The diagnosis requires several steps. Besides a medical history and physical exam, doctors try to rule out other conditions, such as asthma (哮喘) or thyroid (甲状腺) disorders, that can cause similar symptoms. And they recommend a sleep study to check on breathing, heart rate and other functions during sleep.

Once the condition has been diagnosed, there are many options for treatment. For mild cases in people who are overweight, lifestyle changes can be enough to reverse sleep apnea. Stopping smoking and drinking may help. Even switching from sleeping on your back to on your side may offer relief.

When treatment is required, the most common is a machine called CPAP. "It's a mask that prevents collapse in the back of the throat," explains Atul Malhotra, a professor and sleep medicine specialist at the University of California. "It has an unnecessarily bad reputation, since it's well tolerated by most patients. But you need to find the right mask and the right pressure settings." There're also certain surgeries that can be done to keep the airways open or to remove excess tissue, but these are a last-line treatment after less-invasive methods have failed. There're many trials underway to evaluate drug treatments.

If you lived in the Los Angeles area, you could reference the Los Angeles Public Library's index of fiction book review cards. The reviews, a collection of thousands of index cards, contain library staff members' thoughts and opinions about new fiction releases that the library carried. The library system started in the 1920s and into the 1980s.

Robert Anderson, who has worked as a librarian at the LAPL since 1980, says the staff review cards were a handy tool that library staff used to answer specific questions the public had about different books. The reviews, along with being a helpful public tool, also helped staff pick which books the LAPL would order for their shelves. If a staff member reviewed a book favorably, they were more likely to carry the title and order multiple copies.

The review process was simple: On an index card, library staff would handwrite or type up an abstract of a book they read and give their personal review of it. The cards offered adjectives that the reviewer could underline to indicate how the story might affect readers emotionally. For example, for the library's review of Virginia Woolf's 1925 book Mrs. Dalloway, the reviewer underlined "wholesome," "pleasant," and "interesting." Of the staff member's characterization of the book, Anderson said he wasn't sure why the reviewer considered Woolf's writing — which deals with loneliness and other, often dark human experiences — to be healthy, "but they did."

The Los Angeles Public Library's index of staff review cards isn't used regularly anymore. But the system now serves as a historical record of both the books, some almost 100 years old, as well as the cultural views held by the book-loving library staff of the time.
