It found that attending live sporting events results in higher scores of two major measurements of subjective wellbeing-life satisfaction and a sense of "life being worthwhile" — as well as lower levels of loneliness. These results are significant as previous studies have shown that higher life satisfaction scores are associated with fewer life-limiting conditions, better physical health and successful ageing.

The new study also found that attending live sporting events leads to an increase in people's sense that "life is worthwhile," and the size of this increase is comparable to that of gaining employment. Watching live sporting events can also offer an accessible and effective public health tool for improving wellbeing.

Lead author Dr Helen Keyes, Head of the School of Psychology and Sport Science at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), said: "Previous research has focused on certain sports or small population groups, such as college students in the United States. Ours is the first study to look at the benefits of attending any sporting event across an adult population, and therefore our findings could be useful for shaping future public health strategies, such as offering reduced ticket prices for certain groups."

The live events covered by the survey ranged from free amateur (业余的) events, such as watching village sports teams, right through to Premier League football matches. Therefore, further research needs to be carried out to see if these benefits are more pronounced for top level sport, or are more closely linked to supporting a specific team.

However, without doubt, watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to shape group identity and belonging, which in turn boosts levels of wellbeing.

Earlier this year, mystery box travel became trendy among China's young people. In normal trips, people often plan their vacations well in advance. After buying a mystery box at a low price — usually 100 or 200 yuan — the travelers using this method will select their departure airport and then receive several destinations to choose from. After the destination is decided, their trip begins.

Liao Liangyu, 16, has turned his eagerness to go on a mystery box trip into reality. He took a mystery box trip with a couple of friends months ago. It started when one of them got a mystery box ticket to Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province. Surprisingly, Liao happened to get Changsha too. Right before their departure, a friend told Liao that Changsha was a super hyped-up (被炒作) Internet-famous site. But he still decided to go and see it for himself. "My biggest discovery is that Changsha is a city full of contrasts," Liao explained to China Daily. "You can see tall buildings and low houses in the same view."

Since the destination options include many less popular cities, travel mystery boxes also bring economic benefits to them. For example, Dehong city is a beautiful city in Yunnan province yet has few visitors due to a lack of promotion. Following its inclusion as a mystery box travel destination, however, it has gained a lot of attention and is now thought of as a popular destination for tourism.

But even so, a large number of people feel disappointed with travel mystery boxes because they can face many problems after buying one, such as improper travel times, sudden flight cancellations, or even challenges with refunds (退款). Sun Weili from Ctrip suggested in an interview with Haibao News that visitors should select reliable platforms and sign contracts to ensure their interests.

The Rainbow Fish

In the deepest of the oceans lived a fish called the Rainbow Fish. It had sparkling scales (鳞) that shone like a rainbow. Despite being so beautiful, it had no friends, for it was so selfish! Life was lonely for it. One day, it met a wise dolphin who told the fish that it's good to be happy, but it's better to bring happiness to others. From the following day, the fish started helping other fish and made many friends. This story shows us all the true importance of friendship.

The Giving Tree

Once upon a time, there lived a generous tree. It used to provide shade for a little boy to play and rest, and strong branches to take swings on. When the boy grew older, so did his needs. He started to take more and more from the tree. First, he took the leaves, then the branches, and one day he came to take the trunk. But the tree was happy because it had spent its life making the boy happy! This tale is heart-aching but it tells us important values of life.

In my childhood, I tried many activities, and most of them were chosen by Mom. She would always say, "Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer, so you should be too." But she didn't know that I was really scared of water. Even though I was afraid, I had to do this activity that made me nervous.

Every Saturday was a struggle. I would ask Mom with all my heart not to make me go to the swim meet. But most of the time, I didn't succeed. When the starting gun went off with a loud sound, I would gather all my courage and strength and jump into the cold water. I would swim as fast as I could to the other side of the pool, but I would always see the other swimmers pass me easily.

But I didn't give up completely. The reason was my dad. When I finally reached the edge of the pool, tired and defeated, he would be there with a warm, dry towel. He would tell me that he was proud of my hard work. His words and presence were like a life buoy, keeping me going in this uncertain situation.

Then, a big turning point came. Our school orchestra (管弦乐队) came to our class and gave a performance. The drums were just annoying, and the flutes were boring. But when I heard the violin… oh, that was different. It made the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. My heart started to dance with its melody.

For the first time in my life, I was very happy. And what's more, the orchestra director gave me a permission slip (许可单) for my parents to sign, asking me to try out for the first seat in the community orchestra. This was a new start, a glimmer of hope in a journey that had been full of challenges and uncertainties.

With the proposed Law on National Parks, is the first of its kind, the domestic national parks will hopefully get better, more systemic and more sustainable protection.

The first five national parks, (include) the Sanjiangyuan National Park, were established inOctober2021. The past three years (see) the river sources being well protected.

Precious experience (gain) from managing the national parks helped the proposed law to come into being. It is expected (provide) legal support for enforcing the law against animal poaching or destruction of protected plants, and more.

More importantly, the commercial activities of the national parks will be more efficiently regulated. (global), having a national park doesn't mean closing parts of it to visitors; the contrary, most national parks reserve some core areas under strict protection while other regions are open to tourists to gain knowledge about the role of national parks. It also helps the national park management (body) to raise some income of their own.

That's what makes the job of national park management more sustainable, such activities need strict standards to avoid harming the ecology. The proposed Law on National Parks will establish a legal framework for this job, so as to protect national parks in more sustainable and efficient manner.

Carolina Chickadees live in the eastern and southeastern U. S., whereas Black-capped Chickadees inhabit most of the rest of North America. Yet along the extensive, meandering line where the two species overlap, things can get unclear. They started to share a "hybrid zone" where they regularly interbreed (异种交配) and produce young, blurring (模糊) the lines between species.

In 2007 Robert Curry, an ornithologist and behavioral ecologist published a paper showing that the hybrid zone had been creeping northward over more than a decade. By that time Curry had accumulated years' worth of chickadee blood samples from his field sites, and he had access to tissue samples collected previously by other researchers as well. He and his collaborators used genetic analysis to verify the composition of the chickadee population at each site and looked at how that composition had shifted over time. The researchers' findings provided confirmation of what bird-watchers had already observed: in a decade and a half the northern edge of the hybrid zone had moved about 20 kilometers north. But why?

According to the data collected from eBird in the following years, the northern limit of Carolina Chickadees' range is roughly the point on the map where the average minimum winter temperature hits minus seven degrees Celsius — and that the rate of their northward expansion in Pennsylvania has been consistent with warming winters. Climate change is really only half of the story behind the movement of the hybrid zone. Meanwhile, there was a strong link between the presence of hybrids and the degree to which habitat in an area had been altered by humans. "I think what we've done in these disturbed areas is we've planted trees that favor Black-capped Chickadees," says, "which has increased their populations and then increased the frequency of hybridization between the two species in an artificial way."

"So what will happen? We don't know yet," Curry says. "But it will be interesting to see."

Passersby won't see the framework that typically come with construction. Photos of the site show amassive 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying layer upon layer of sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This enormous machine, called the Vulcan, was developed by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON. When the Vulcan constructs walls, it looks like "an inkjet printer with a cartridge (墨盒) going back and forth," Liz Lambert, El Cosmico's owner, described it.

The project is a cooperation between Lambert, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert seeks to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 residential homes on a new 40-acre property. According to ICON, 3D printing will provide new ways to build and offer greater flexibility in architectural designs. "I've never been able to build with such little restriction…" Lambert tells Reuters' Evan Garcia. "It's an incredible way to build."

Images of the hotel's inside reveal cream-colored walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. The structures' walls are made of a concrete called "lavacrete", a low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive strength (压缩强度) of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch. The mixture also uses local Texas materials colored to "fit into the landscape of Marfa," as Lambert tells the Reuters.

ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico, where residents have commented on the strength of their walls and their insulation (隔绝) from the sun. The company also adopts the technology to help address America's affordable housing crisis. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin for homeless people run by the nonprofit Mobile Loaves& Fishes.

Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026, and the existing location will be open until 2025.
