In the face of economic struggles and limited chances, increasing number of young Kenyans are finding hope and purpose in the ancient Chinese martial art of kung fu. (realistic), it has become more than just a sport for many—it's a pathway towards self-discipline, financial prospects, and an opportunity to enable their lives (transform).

Among them is 31-year-old Evans Munzaa. He faced years of unemployment and financial hardship. "I was forced to survive odd jobs like farming, comedy, and hard labor," he shared. Now, Munzaa is devoting his time to kung fu training, hoping to turn it into a full-time career.

Munzaa's story (mirror) that of many young Kenyans who struggle with high unemployment rates, particularly among those under 35, where the figure stands at an (alarm) 67%. This broader crisis has driven interest in kung fu, is gaining popularity as an alternative to other sports like taekwondo among young Kenyans.

Besides, (provide) free sessions in local kung fu clubs, young Kenyans can have access to a productive outlet and a potential career path. At present, doing kung fu has become one of the general (phenomenon) in Kenya and its impact on the lives of young people is undeniable. Beyond the physical benefits, it provides a lifeline for those who now (seek) discipline, community and hope in challenging times.

Every day, Dad3 us with his trusty road map. Mom, the heart of our family, shared folk tales and painted pictures about the upcoming4 . We went through diverse5 from the thick forests to the vast deserts of the West.

One day, while hiking through the Grand Canyon, I6 a particularly rough path. Frightened, I7, not knowing how to proceed. That's when my parents8.

As Dad showed me footholds, Mom coached me with calming9 and reminded me of the breathtaking views that lay ahead. Then, I10 the confidence as my feet11 solid ground again. When I finally overcame my fear, I felt we became12 as a family.

From then on, every evening, we'd gather around a campfire for what we13 called "Family Reflection Time". During these sessions, we'd share laughter,14, and insights from the day's experiences.

The trip taught me that the true meaning of travel isn't merely about reaching the destination but about the personal growth that happens on the route, and the family bonds form when we face15 together.

Chores were part of my family's way of functioning. We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age.

When I was a kid, I knew when doing chores I was helping my family. It wasn't until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks. Being assigned chores communicates that each family member is needed and that their action or non-action affects every single other person living under the same roof.

Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable. I enjoy jumping in to help whenever my parents need a hand. While working together, we have the chance to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and build memories.

Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids' role, not to mention practicing discipline, time management, and selflessness. All these consequences would seem to tip the scales (天平) in favor of chores.

A. It made sense to us, as much as we disliked it.

B. They also create a sense of belonging within a family.

C. Household chores were a source of great stress for us.

D. Actually, doing chores alongside my family can make them a joy.

E. Allowing children to share burdens helps them recognize their strengths.

F. It also comes as no surprise that chores are important for personal growth.

G. We had to complete our assigned chores before school assignments on that day.

Aged communities, which have developed and changed organically over an extended period, possess unique cultures of their own. The buildings within them are irreplaceable to the environment. Opting not to sustain such architectures essentially is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Building "green" can be about preserving time-honored, local building traditions that respect regional cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies.

The building materials and craftsmanship (工艺) are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development.

As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization (使用) of pre-existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings.

As Carl Elefante of Quinn-Evans Architects brilliantly said, "The greenest building is one that is already built." Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention.

"It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描)," says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. "These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods."

The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson's disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson's program at Canada's National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans.

The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. "We showed that SCG's BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression," says DeSouza. "Parkinson's disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear."

Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain's reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson's disease by itself, the benefits are clear. "We're not trying to cure it with dance," he says. "What we're trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them."

Alisa who had stayed at home all her life to look after her three children lost her husband in a car accident, so she had to step out and earn money to make ends meet. With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero.

One day, after dropping her children at school, Alisa spotted a construction site. "I think I can work here," she thought and approached the manager.

"Hi, are you hiring?" she asked. "Yes, we are," the manager looked at Alisa from head to toe. "Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work." "I'm ready for it," she told the manager and signed a contract to work a 12-hour shift.

However, Alisa kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site.

Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Alisa's son, David, told her about an upcoming contest in school that required mothers to participate. In the competition, students will wear blindfolds and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. "That sounds like such a cool event, David!" Alisa said excitedly, "I can't wait for it!" "I won't go there with you, mom," David replied. "But why?" What her son said next was something Alisa wasn't prepared to hear.

"Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them," David explained. "Your hands are so ugly. They're so hard and rough," he added. "I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands," the boy said. "I won't attend the event." Alisa felt terrible but couldn't say anything in her defense.

The Students' Union

Zhou Yang will never forget his first assignment a reporter in China Daily. At the office his talk with his new boss left him a strong ( impress). His boss first put him as assistant to an experienced journalist and later required him ( cover ) a story and submit the article himself. During the interviews, he had to listen for detailed facts and prepare the next question depending on the person said. the interviewee agreed, he could use a recorder to get the facts straight. The boss also gave him an example of the importance of a recorder, benefited him in his career. Once a footballer ( accuse ) of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals to let the other team win. He admitted that someone had tried to bribe him, but denied ( take) the money. With the recording, it was proved that he was ( guilt).

The two of us had taken a bike ride to the supermarket. After buying a cool treat for my daughter, she sat down at a table in4 admiring the ice cream she held in her hand. Suddenly a look of worry5 on her face. "Do I have to rush, Mama?"

I could have cried. Perhaps the pains of a6 life don't ever completely disappear, I thought sadly. As my child looked up at me waiting to know7 she could take her time, I knew I had a(n)8. I could sit there thinking about the number of times when I rushed my child through life... or I could celebrate the fact that today I'm trying to do things9. I chose to live in today.

"You don't have to rush. Just take your time," I said in a（n）10 way. Her whole face instantly brightened and her shoulders11. And so we sat side by side talking about things that interested us.

When she got to the last bite, she held out a spoonful of ice crystals and sweet juice for me. "I12 the last bite for you, Mama," my daughter said proudly. As I let the icy goodness put out my thirst, I13 I just got the deal of a lifetime. I gave my child a little time and14, she gave me her last bite and reminded me that things taste sweeter and love is15 to get when you stop rushing through life.

·Adopt a pet

When you adopt an animal from a shelter or rescue group, you save two lives., but also you've made room at the shelter for another homeless cat or dog. There's nothing more rewarding than adopting a pet who knows what home life is like and has been missing it—until the day you bring that pet home. Adopting truly makes you a hero.

·

Whether you like rolling up your sleeves and cleaning cages, socializing with a few of your kitten friends or working with numbers, your skills and interests can make a huge impact on the lives of homeless pets in your community.. Shelters and rescue groups rely on foster（收养的）families to take in dogs and cats on a short-term basis. No matter what you like to do and what you're good at, there's a volunteer job for you.

·Donate to the animals

. Consider paying it forward by sponsoring（发起）a pet's adoption or donating food, cleaning supplies, blankets or towels to your local rescue. You can also help animals right from your computer or phone by donating items from the Best Friends Amazon wish list.

A. Volunteer with animals

B. Host an animal shelter

C. Fostering is a fun way to get lots of helpful hands-on time

D. So, many animals don't get the love and care that they need

E. Not only can you feel good about saving the pet you adopted

F. You'll find rescue groups for just about any type of pet

G. Whenever you give something to a shelter or a rescue group in your community, you're helping to save lives

In the area of disease diagnosis (诊断), AI-powered systems are showing great potential. These systems can analyze vast amounts of patient data, including medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. For example, some AI algorithms (算法) can detect early signs of cancer in medical images with a high level of accuracy. They can spot tiny tumors or abnormal cell patterns that might be overlooked by human doctors. This is because AI can process and learn from a huge number of previous cases, constantly improving its diagnostic capabilities.

When it comes to drug development, AI also plays a crucial role. It can speed up the process of finding new drugs. AI algorithms can analyze the chemical structures of various substances and predict how they will interact with the human body. This helps pharmaceutical (制药的) companies to screen potential drug candidates more efficiently. Instead of spending years on trial-and-error in the laboratory, they can use AI to narrow down the options and focus on the most promising ones.

Medical robots are another area where AI is making an impact. Robots can assist surgeons during operations. These intelligent robots can be more precise than human hands in some cases. They can follow pre-programmed instructions accurately, reducing the risk of human error during complex surgical procedures. Also, some robots are designed to provide care for patients, such as helping them move around or reminding them to take medications.

In conclusion, the application of AI in the medical field is opening up new possibilities for improving healthcare quality, saving lives, and advancing medical research.

The tools of Chinese painting are as symbolic as the art itself. Xuan paper, known for its absorbency, and ink sticks rubbed on ink stones produce varying tones of black. Brushes, crafted from animal hair, allow artists to create strokes ranging from bold and forceful to whisper-thin. These materials, alongside mineral pigments (颜料) like lapis lazuli (for blue) and cinnabar (for red), form the "Four Treasures of the Study", reflecting the harmony between nature and human creativity.

Styles in Chinese painting are divided into two main types: Gongbi and Xieyi. Gongbi, or detailed painting, requires great care, using fine lines and bright colors to show royal scenes or birds and flowers. Xieyi, or freehand painting, focuses on natural expression and emotion, often seen in landscapes that use ink washes to create misty mountains or flowing rivers.

Subjects in Chinese painting mirror cultural values. Landscapes dominate, symbolizing humanity's connection to nature and Taoist principles of harmony. Bird-and-flower paintings use symbols like plum blossoms and bamboo to convey moral virtues. Figure painting, from Tang Dynasty court portraits to Zhang Zeduan's Along the River During the Qingming Festival, captures historical narratives and daily life.

In the 20th century, artists like Qi Baishi changed traditional styles by mixing ink painting with Western ideas. He painted shrimp with smooth, lively brushstrokes that make them look alive. Wu Guanzhong tried new ways to paint landscapes with ink, while today's artists even mix Chinese calligraphy with computer art. However, Chinese painting still acts as a bridge connecting old and new — like a poetic picture that shows the heart of Chinese culture in every brushstroke.
