Max reached a workplace for his inaugural interview. He had previously resided with his parents. He was exasperated by his parents' reproaches for every minor action he took at home.

While awaiting the interview, he pondered, "Only if I achieve success in today's interview will I bid farewell to my parents' abode and establish myself in the sprawling metropolis, which will enable me to evade the constant barrage of my parents' complaints about trivial matters." He began to reminisce about the minor issues his parents used to berate him for — How his mother would request him to make his bed after he awoke. If he left the bathroom door ajar, his mother would demand that he close the door and, prior to that, ensure that the faucet was properly turned off. How his father would insist that he switch off the fan or light switch before he departed. How his mother would perpetually blame him for not placing items in their designated spots.

While contemplating all these matters, he questioned, "Why should I heed their utterances? Why should I comply with all these demands? If I secure employment, I shall assuredly depart from their domicile." As he glanced around, Max observed that numerous candidates were seated in the office. He noticed that the light in the office was still illuminated and it was ten o'clock in the morning. Recalling his father's admonitions, he rose and switched off the light. When he espied water dripping from the water cooler situated in the office, he proceeded to properly turn off the tap.

It was the moment to ascend to the second floor for the interview, and everyone proceeded upstairs in sequence. On the way up the staircase, a chair was positioned in the path, and the other candidates circumvented it, but Max removed it, placed it aside, and continued on to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he observed the candidates preceding him entering and exiting swiftly. After conversing with these individuals, he discovered that the interviewers had not posed any questions to them.

More than a dozen international students could not hide their excitement the hot weather, after completing a three-hour bike ride along the central axis(中轴线) of Beijing, each rushing to high-five their team leader.

At a session in India in late July, 2024, the UNESCO listed the 700-year-old Beijing Central Axis, (refer) to as the "spine of the city's culture", on the World Heritage List. The Beijing Central Axis, the best-preserved example of traditional central axis architecture in China, extending 7. 8 km from Yongding Gate in the south to the Bell and Drum Towers in the north. (true) amazed by the historic architecture along the central axis, "This journey has been so (impress)," said Callum Deighton, a student from the University of York, Britain. He was among a group of students from different countries that joined a cycling course offered by the Peking University Summer School International 2024. During one-month course in July, students had the opportunity (gain) cycling knowledge and skills, while joining cycle tours to explore the ancient beauty of Beijing.

Lu Fuquan, their team leader and instructor from Peking University, has been a cycling enthusiast for many years, is also fond of Beijing's historical and cultural heritage. He has planned six cycling routes for the course led students on a two-wheeled exploration of the ancient capital.

Recently, the course (attract) 130 international students, including those Britain, France, Canada, Australia, Japan and Singapore.

For every trustworthy website, there is tons of information that's inaccurate, unreliable or just crazy. For the inexperienced journalist or researcher, such sites can 1 a wide range of possible problems. With that in mind, here are five ways to tell if a website is 2.

● Look for Established Institutions

The internet is full of websites that were 3 five minutes ago. What you want are sites associated with 4 institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organization or universities.

● Consult Sites with Expertise (专门知识)

You wouldn't go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point: 5 websites that specialize in the kind of information you're seeking. 6, if you're writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites, such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

● 7 Commercial Sites

Sites run by companies and business—their websites usually end in. com—are often trying to sell you something. And if they're trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they're presenting will be tilted (偏向) 8 their product. That's not to say commercial sites should be 9 entirely. But be cautious.

● Check the 10

As a reporter, you need the most up-to-date information available, so if a website seems old, it's probably best to keep distance from it. One way to check: Look for a "last 11" date on the page or site.

● Check the Links

Respected 12 often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you're researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. Enter the following text into the Google search field, 13 "[WEBSITE]" with the domain (域名) of the site you're researching: link: http://www.[WEBSITE].com. For example, link: http://www.baidu.com.

The search 14 will show you which websites link to the one you're researching. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that's a good 15. Then it seems that you don't need to worry about them too much

"Compared with traditional search engines like Google, TikTok's powerful algorithm and visual presentation are what I love the most," said a20-year-old girl Dana from the Czech Republic.

Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. "All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly," said Dana.

"On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt," said Dana, adding that a written review of a restaurant can't capture its sense of atmosphere, food or drinks.

Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. "Nevertheless, when forming my personal opinion on heated topics, I prefer to use Google to gather more information from reputable media sources and organizations," she added.

Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos.

"Even if people aren't interested in, say, TikTok, I think what we are going to start to see is more visual during online searches," Sheares told ABC News.

A. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to Google.

B. Young people like to try Internet-famous restaurants.

C. TikTok's funny videos also make some kids addicted.

D. He formed a Gen Z focus group to discuss their searching habits.

E. But TikTok's personalized videos helped her out of the situation.

F. Being able to see scenes of real people also makes Dana feel trust in them.

G. Now, it has become one of the biggest search engines among young people.

"We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish'," says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.

The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.

A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.

The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.

But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn't expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction's highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It's the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.

In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917—2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke's 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.

"My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea," Liu said. "That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe."

But no matter how far away Liu's imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on "hard science". Liu's works aren't simply daydreams.

One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a "career aptitude (才能) test". There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios (场景), like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest — and don't worry — there are no right or wrong answers.

One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant's overall work personality. This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions.

The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level, but you can look at higher-level careers as well, which is very useful for high school students. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like toaim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there.

In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now!

Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you're 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother's advice didn't work.

On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn't even speak the language? My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.

When the teacher introduced me to the class as the "American girl", 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn't speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn't sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren't sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.

There have been many theories about why humans sleep, from a way to rest after the day's activities to simply a way to fill time until we can do something useful. . The body repairs itself just as well when we are sitting quietly. And we wouldn't need to catch up on sleep during the day if it were just to fill empty time at night. One of the major problems with sleep insufficiency is a resulting decline in cognitive (认知) ability.. We will find ourselves struggling with memory, learning, planning and reasoning.

A lack of sleep can actually have severe effects on our mood and performance of everyday tasks. Sleep can be divided into two broad stages: non-rapid eye movement (NREM), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. . When this is occurring, this is the time when we sleep the deepest. Without NREM sleep, our ability to form declarative memories, such as learning to associate pairs of words, can be seriously impaired. . It is also the time of peak growth hormone (荷尔蒙) release in the body. This stage is important for cell reproduction and repair.

. Some scientists argue that it allows our brains a safe place to practice dealing with situations or emotions that we might not encounter during our daily lives. Others think that it might be a way to unlearn memories, or to process unwanted feelings or emotions. However, no one knows the real answer.

A. The majority of our sleep is NREM.

B. The purpose of REM sleep is unclear.

C. But all of these ideas are somewhat imperfect.

D. Our brains just don't work properly without sleep.

E. Scientists managed to discover the secret of sleep.

F. People don't know the role NREM plays in improving our health.

G. Deep sleep is important for turning short-term memories into long-term storage.

Phillip Zimbardo was a researcher at Stanford University. In 1972, he recruited (招募) 24 mentally healthy, male, college students for an experiment taking place in a fake (假的) prison in the basement of Stanford. These participants were randomly divided into 2 groups: prison guards and prisoners. The guards received a uniform and mirrored sunglasses to wear for the job. Then, after being sent home, the prisoners were publicly arrested at their homes on a Sunday morning. They were processed at a real police station before being transported to the ‘prison'.

No one could have predicted what would happen next. The guards weren't given any specific instructions on how to behave. Yet, very soon they began acting in extreme ways: they prevented prisoners from eating, took away their bedding, forced them to remove their clothes, and even punished them with chores such as cleaning toilets with their bare hands. As well as this, the prisoners were submitting to the guards - even though they knew that they hadn't actually done anything wrong and weren't even in a real prison!

After just thirty-six hours, a prisoner had to be removed from the study as he had sunk into a deep depression with fits of anger and uncontrollable crying. A few days later, other prisoners displayed similar symptoms. The guards also continued to abuse them. It was at this point that Zimbardo was told to stop the experiment. It was shut down after just six days.

This experiment demonstrates the power of the situation in influencing how we act. Good people, just like you or me, are capable of evil acts. However, the power of the situation doesn't always have to be bad: it can also be a force for good.

Of course, we could never repeat this experiment for ethical (伦理的) reasons. This means that we need to assess how valid Zimbardo's conclusions really are. For example, demand characteristics - how the guards assumed they should act - may have significantly shaped their behaviour.

With over 6.3 million queries processed every second, Google's search results hold immense influence over public knowledge and perception. Users tend to focus only on the first few links, limiting their exposure to diverse viewpoints. This dynamic raises the issue of "filter bubbles", where users may be trapped in a cycle that strengthens their existing beliefs. Critics argue that the algorithms (算法) used by Google contribute significantly to this problem, presenting a limited selection of information based on users' preferences.

Mark Williams-Cook, founder of AlsoAsked, emphasizes the technical limitations of search engines and the misunderstandings surrounding them. He references internal Google documents revealing that the company often relies on user engagement data rather than comprehending content. This practice can promote confirmation bias, leading users towards information that aligns with their views, similar to a child choosing an unhealthy diet based only on preference.

Google acknowledges the complexity of its search system and emphasizes ongoing efforts to enhance its algorithms to tackle these issues. While the company declares that it provides a range of viewpoints, the reality remains that most users do not go beyond the top search results, which limits their exposure to diverse perspectives.

Critics believe Google should better educate users about how its search engine functions, as a clearer understanding of these processes could foster critical consumption of information. As Google evolves into an "answer engine" that provides direct information, the challenge of ensuring balanced and informative content remains crucial for public knowledge.

In Vilnius, I found comfort in a website, which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours. These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours, each morning setting out to explore the city's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sent Stephen photos each night. Our guide, Ieva, shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travelers from various backgrounds, including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced my grandmother's footsteps in Jewish Vilnius, visiting places she might have known. These tours, full of surprises, were perfect for a solo traveler, offering connection and flexibility. On my last day, Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation.

I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I navigated apartment lockboxes, shopped in local supermarkets, and cooked, activities I was once less skillful at. In Poland, I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours, adapting to larger groups. I walked over 20,000 steps daily, often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals. In Lodz, I took a private tour with Milena, who helped me find my family's history, including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war.

Stephen was hospitalized just before I returned, and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow, but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly, benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own.

In the quiet town of Willow Creek, lived a young woman named Sarah. Sarah was an artist, known for her paintings of landscapes and animals, but beneath her calm appearance, she struggled with anxiety and depression. The pressures of her job and the isolation she often felt had a negative impact on her mental health, and she spent many days feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the world around her.

One afternoon, as Sarah was leaving the local art gallery, she noticed a small, scruffy dog sitting by the door. It looked lost, hungry, and a little scared. Sarah's heart softened as she approached the dog, offering it a piece of her sandwich. The dog wagged its tail and sniffed at the food, but instead of eating, it sat down next to her, as if asking for something more. Feeling an instinctive (直觉的)pull, Sarah decided to take the dog home with her, naming it Sunny.

Over the next few weeks, Sunny became Sarah's constant companion. Every morning, he would greet her with an excited bark and a wagging tail. Sarah soon discovered that Sunny was not just a pet, but a therapy dog. Whenever she felt her anxiety starting to set in, Sunny would push her hand with his nose or curl up beside her, offering her the comfort of his presence. His gentle behavior and unconditional love helped Sarah feel less alone, and for the first time in months, she began to feel like she had a purpose.

One evening, Sarah decided to take Sunny for a walk through the woods near a popular campsite. The sun was setting, and the air was fresh and cool. As they walked deeper into the forest, Sarah's mind wandered to the dark thoughts she had been battling for so long. Suddenly, Sunny stopped in his tracks and started barking furiously, looking alertly at a thick patch of bushes. Sarah felt a surge of panic, wondering what had startled (惊吓)him. But before she could react, Sunny dashed toward the bushes, pulling Sarah along with him.

My Views on Learning on Bilibili

"Directed by Yang Yu, widely known as Jiaozi, the film Ne Zha 2, a massive hit in Chinese cinemas, (break) box office records consistently since its debut, with the box office for the period from Jan. 28 to Feb, 13 (reach) an astonishing 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion)," the China Film Administration announced Wednesday.

(root) in Chinese mythology, Ne Zha 2 retells ancient stories with a modern twist. Born with unique powers, Ne Zha finds (he) as an outcast (被排斥的人) who is feared and even hated. Fated by prophecy (预言) to bring destruction to the world, the boy must choose good and evil.

In addition to the high quality of the animation and its fascinating account, the film also delivers a powerful visual experience. Besides, the success of the first Ne Zha film in 2019,    became the highest-grossing animated film in China at the time, provided solid foundation for the sequel. An associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration noted that the established popularity of Ne Zha, alongside strong IP (recognize), played a critical role in attracting large audiences to expect the sequel.

The movie's representation of complex relationships, especially familial bonds and friendships, empathizes with audiences, (particular) during the Spring Festival, a time when family reunions are a central theme. For many, the film's themes of self-identity, overcoming obstacles, finding one's purpose mirror the personal challenges they face in their own lives.

So, in order to see if no social life would make me more3, I decided to cut out my social life4. For a whole month, I5 all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks, dinners,6 and other non-work related events.

On the first day, I had to deal with some strong7. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I began to8 moments of rest and even boredom throughout the day. Such moments are crucial for9. I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.

However, such10 would be a concern if I remained isolated for too long. While one month of no social life did not impact my relationships with11 clients, if I continued, it might12 my ability to build new ones.

It occurred to me that I can't cut out an area of life in order to lift another - a(n)13 with people is linked to our work and helps us deal with life's ups and downs. We should not strive for a work-life balance.14, we should try to bring our social life into our work. Perhaps the secret to a successful career is learning to15 the two.
