My two older sisters love amusement parks. They are thrill-seekers and go on the scariest rides. Every year, my father and I had the job of waiting on the line for them for their next ride. But on this day, my older sister, Christina encouraged me to ride the roller coaster with them.

"You should try it you know. I think you're tall enough now."

"I don't want to go," I said shaking my head.

"Come on I promise you it's really fun. You're going to regret it if you don't go because this is our last ride of the day."

I had to admit she could be convincing. After thinking for a while, I slowly took my sister's hand. She smiled and dragged me towards the huge line for the roller coaster. My hands were shaking. My sister assured me again that it was going to be OK. Even my father encouraged me to go on with them.

Seeing the majestic heights of the roller coaster and other rides gave me goose bumps. I started to freak out and become pessimistic about the situation. "What if those buckles unlock and I shoot out?" I thought to myself. I shook for 30 minutes as the line got shorter. As I got closer, I could see the tremendous speed and height of the roller coaster. "Why did I say yes?" I freaked out even harder.

I turned around to look for my dad, so I could back out. But he was already out of sight. So I clung to my sister and took a deep breath. When our turn came and a guy in a red polo shirt measured my height to see if I was tall enough, I knelt down slightly.

"Alright buddy you're good," he announced.

"I think the front seat will be the best so we can see everything," my oldest sister suggested.

"Hey, don't you think the front will be the scariest with all those hard turns?" I said.

They didn't listen to me; the three of us piled into the front. The guys in red polo shirts locked us in with seatbelts that had yellow buckles. I double-checked to make sure they were locked.

"Hey, it's going to be fine, trust me," one sister said.

Paragraph 1: Soon,there was a loud blaring noise to signal that the roller coaster was starting.

In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend of Citywalk has emerged as a popular alternative to exploring busy markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys an unhurried pace.

The origins of Citywalk can be traced back to London. Strictly speaking, this form of urban tourism is not as casual and (aim) as it may appear. Originally, city walks referred to guides tours participants followed a planned route under the (guide) of tour conductors, with a strong emphasis on diving deep into the city's rich history and (culture) diversity. As an increasing number of travel enthusiasts gathered together, they (seek) to immerse themselves deeply in the quiet appreciation of their surroundings. Gradually, the concept gained popularity worldwide.

The appeal of Citywalk particularly resonates (引起共鸣) with the younger generation, who frequently find themselves (catch) up in demanding work schedules. growing trend of Citywalk reflects their (change) attitude towards life, namely a more relaxed and slower-paced lifestyle. After all, a city walk isn't a real walk you are aware of the history in every paving stone.

"You can choose to do things2 when you're a parent." I replied. But sometimes, I wondered if I was being too stubborn (固执的) or unfair.

The more I research, the more confident I feel in my3. Many studies4 the current mental health crisis among teenagers to changes in how they socialize, namely, the change from in-person to online5.

But other parents6 my view, saying "He must feel so left out!" Then there are the parents who tell me with sadness that they regretted not delaying their teenager's phone7 longer than they did. They8 me to hold out.

If teenagers are truly spending about 5 hours on average per day on their devices, as a recent research states, then what are they not doing? Kids9 in their devices are missing out on real life, which strikes me a lot.

I want my son to have a10 childhood, one full of adventures, imaginative play and physical challenges. The simplest way to achieve these11 is to delay giving him a smartphone.

Some think my son is missing out or falling behind, but he is not. He does well in school,12 with friends, and moves independently around our town. He claimed he would give his own 14-year-old boy a phone someday, and I told him that's13. But recently, he admitted he14 the beautiful scenery on a drive to a mountain because he had been so absorbed in his iPad.

If that is his15 of admitting I'm right, I'll take it.

Keep an open mind

. Some artworks may be surprising, others might be a letdown. And that's OK. Allow yourself to feel however the art makes you feel. You can love it. You can hate it. You can cry, feel angry or laugh.

Pick a museum relevant to your interest

Boost your chances of finding something you connect with by going to a museum of your interest. If you're into climate change, pick one showing artworks inspired by Earth conservation. If you want to go to a museum just for the social media, do it.

Keep your museum visit short and focused

Art museums can be huge. So, be realistic about how long you spend there. You don't need more than an hour or two.. Also, be strategic about what you want to look at. Decide whether you are looking for something new or are you returning to an artwork you've seen and loved.

Once in front of an artwork you like, take time to observe qualities that may not come through on a computer screen, including texture and brushstrokes. — and observe what's happening in the big picture. You can also move your body — take a finger to the air and trace the movement of the brushstrokes.

Appreciating how artists make sense of the world can open up new pathways and actually help you make a personal connection, enabling you to make sense of these things in your lives, too.

A. No judgment here

B. Really look at the art

C. Be mindful of your belongings

D. Share your insights with your loved ones

E. Take a few steps back, stand in the center

F. After that, it becomes "information overload"

G. Avoid having concepts about what you'll see before arriving

The study by Soroush Vosoughi and associate professor Deb Roy, both of the MIT Media Lab, and MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral, is the largest-ever longitudinal (纵向的) study of the spread of false news online. It uses the term "false news" instead of "fake news" because the latter "has lost all connection to the actual accuracy of the information presented, making it meaningless for use in academic classification," the authors write.

To track the spread of news, the researchers investigated all the true and false news stories proved by six independent fact-checking organizations distributed on Twitter from 2006 to 2017. They studied approximately 126,000 cascades — "instances of a rumor (谣言) spreading pattern that exhibits an unbroken report chain with a common, single origin" — on Twitter about contested news stories posted by 3 million people more than 4.5 million times. Traditionally, either the application or the users are responsible for spreading rumors. The researchers conducted an experiment by removing Twitter robots before running their analysis. They then included the robots and ran the analysis again and found none of the main conclusions changed.

So what to do? In an interview for the MIT Sloan Experts video series, Aral said possible solutions include labeling fake news much as food is labeled, making unfavorable financial policies such as reducing the flow of advertising dollars to accounts that spread fake news, and using algorithms (算法) to find and control the effect of fake news.

I've been dancing since I was four and I plan to continue dancing in college. However, I've always feared that dancing will affect my study and eventually become a brilliant memory of my childhood. After learning about Sommer Gentry's story, I had an answer.

Sommer Gentry, previously a professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy and a coach at the Naval Academy's Swing Dance Club, is currently a teacher at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Gentry and her husband also started a swing dance community to introduce non-dancers to swing dance.

Through teaching, Gentry was inspired to view dancing from an engineering point of view. She said, "I realized it is an engineering question: how do you dance well with someone? It'd be great to give people mathematical and engineering proofs that they have to dance the way I say." Gentry investigated the complex haptic (触觉的) communication behind the moves in swing dance and showed that two persons could move in coordination (协调) with pure haptic communication, She entered an exciting area of research which is about engineering, psychology and human motor control.

It's incredibly inspiring that Gentry was able to intertwine her academic work with her passion for dancing. Gentry said, "It means that even when I'm dancing outside, I'm thinking about my research project."

Gentry found that digging into her academic interest does not mean letting go of her other non-academic ones. Instead, she found a way to include both in her professional life. Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her story resonates (引起共鸣) strongly with me, and I want to be like her in the future.

Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard

When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter for the native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Besides, bird or bat houses in your yard or garden can attract and shelter more species.

Avoid harming the natural ecosystem in your backyard

Some plants from other places can kill or harm the native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.

Have a greener lifestyle

By using less water and fewer fuels, you will do good to help protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway if you can, turn off the electric devices when you're not using them, take showers for a shorter time, and keep the temperature in your room at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees in winter.

Buy products that are friendly to wildlife

Don't buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are eager to earn money with them.

Donate money to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats

You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife in your neighborhood, thus promoting their work.

Tim had always struggled with his weight. He loved food, but at school, he often found himself the target of cruel jokes and teasing.

His classmates would call him names like "Big Tim" and make fun of his size, and though Tim tried to ignore it, it still hurt. Every day, he wished he could be like the athletic kids, running fast and playing sports with ease, but that always seemed out of reach.

One day, a group of his classmates — three boys who were notorious for their pranks (恶作剧) — decided to play a trick on him. They knew Tim wasn't athletic, and they thought it would be funny to sign him up for the upcoming school's long-distance race. They figured he'd panic when he found out and that it would be fun to watch him fail. Without telling Tim, they registered his name for the race.

On race day, as Tim walked across the track trying to join his classmates in the stands, he saw some of them holding giant posters of his face with slogans like "The Big Runner" and "Go Tim!" He froze. He realized what had happened — the boys had tricked him into racing. His face turned red with embarrassment, but the crowd was already watching, and he felt trapped.

The starting gun fired, and to everyone's surprise, Tim began to jog. It wasn't fast, and he could barely keep up with the other runners, but he kept moving. His legs burned with each step, and his breath came in sharp gasps, but he didn't stop. His classmates' laughter echoed in his ears, but he ignored it.

As the race went on, something shifted. A few students who weren't part of the prank started cheering for him. "Come on, Tim! You can do it!" they yelled. Their encouragement made Tim feel lighter, and his pace picked up just a little. It wasn't about winning anymore; it was about proving to himself that he could finish.

Despite challenges such as unpredictable weather and signal interference, the team, average age is 27, delivered a flawless performance. Most of the team members specialize in drone technology, while others are enthusiasts recruited by the company.

In recent years, drone performances (become) a major trend in entertainment. Compared to traditional fireworks, drones are (safe) and less polluting. Advancements in technology have made larger-scale performances possible. Damoda's third-generation drones are designed (take) off from a compact box, saving space, while the fourth-generation models charge automatically. In 2023, the company set two Guinness World Records by (fly) 10,197 drones simultaneously.

Competition is shifting from technology to creativity, as the industry grows, with a greater emphasis storytelling and cultural elements. Beyond entertainment, drones are also fueling low-altitude economy, with widespread use in logistics, agriculture, and emergency rescue.

is expected by industry experts, drone shows are going to become even more spectacular, with continuous technological progress. China's drone industry continues to grow globally, setting new standards and reinforcing its (influence) position in aerial technology.

That is how2 he became and still is to the students who3 his school bus, a job he held for 27 years before he retired. Yet, driving a bus was never his4 plan. In 1990, he fell off a roof while working outdoors. After that, he intended to5 a job closer to the ground. However, he said no job has ever6 him higher. "It's the children," White said. "And being in a position where you can love kids every single day is a7 position to be in."

The positive feeling was8 by so many of the kids on his bus over the years. One of his former students, Kaitlyn Hare, cited that he just made everybody feel safe, loved and cared for. It is a9 so strong that even though George retired years ago, former students10 recently for one last ride. "They're finding their11 that they had 20 years ago," White said. "And now even their children are sitting on their laps. And that kind of feeling is a wonderful thing."

What was White's secret to developing this12 ? "He only had two13 on the bus," another former student, Louis Castello, said. "Show everyone love, and show respect." It's a lesson many of them now14 with them.

"I'm convinced that when you love and respect people, that's what you're going to get back." White said. That is how one man's unexpected path became 200 lives'15 .

Identify what makes your missing object stand out in its environment. It might be its size, color, texture or shape. It will make the process faster and more efficient. Instead of looking at everything in a space, this approach helps you focus your attention only on objects with that distinction.

Look in places where you've lost this item before. Do you tend to lose your keys or student cards often? If so, it may have ended up in a similar place as before. Think about where your common lost objects tend to be lost. For example, maybe you have a habit of leaving your keys in the lock or your bag in the car.

Try looking at the room from a new angle. If you've retraced your steps, gone through all the motions, and still haven't found anything, change your perspective. Crawl instead of walking down the hall. Seeing things from a different point of view can help you notice details you may have missed before.

Scattered and crowded areas make it easier to lose objects, as things can fall under other things or get buried beneath piles. Regularly clean and tidy up living spaces, so you won't have to spend more time looking for things later on.

A. Or sit where you were standing.

B. Then search based on that unique feature.

C. Look in the messiest areas of your living space.

D. Everyone misplaces things every now and again.

E. Check these places before extending your search.

F. The best thing you can do to avoid losing things is be organized.

G. Thinking about the last time you saw it helps you retrace your steps.

OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder (股东) value. The non-profit parent would have "a significant interest" in the public benefit corporation, OpenAI said in a blog-post, adding that it would be one of the "best resourced non-profits in history."

OpenAI has been looking to make changes to its rules to make it easier for investors to profit when they inject new investment into the firm. OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a research-focused non-profit but created a for-profit unit four years later to secure funding for the high costs of AI development. Its unusual structure gave control of the for-profit unit to the non-profit.

A $6.6 billion fundraising by OpenAI, which valued it at $157 billion, was conditional on it being able to remove a profit limit and move towards being a more conventional company.

"We again need to raise more money than we'd imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity (股东权益) and a less unique structure," OpenAI said. "The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission."

"This is the critical step the company needs in order to continue fundraising," said Gil Luria, analyst with DA Davidson & Co. The key to the announcement, he said, was that the for-profit side of OpenAI "will run and control OpenAI's operations and business." For its AI competitors, it's a different matter. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI.
