Tang suits (Tangzhuang) refer to a type of Chinese jackets. The word of Tang suit (create) by the overseas Chinese people decades ago.

the most prosperous and powerful dynasty in the history of China, the Tang Empire (618—­907) was so famous in the world that foreigners call the overseas Chinese people "the Tang people", the places they live "Chinatowns (literally meaning Tang People Streets)" and the clothes they wear "Tang suits".

A Tang suit has two (vary) in Chinese culture, which are different from each other in style. The one that is familiar to us refers to the real Tang­era clothes (develop) from Hanfu, which leaves an impression of comfort and elegance. What is a typical design of a Tang suit is it employs the Chinese characters, such as fu (happiness) and shou (long life) to express good fortune and best wishes, which is very popular among the Chinese people owing to its (culture) significance.

As unique part of traditional Chinese culture, Tang suits are worn by overseas Chinese people during the Spring Festival each year, (attract) many foreigners to try them out of curiosity. More and more young Chinese people are willing to wear Tang suits instead of Western­style ones on their memorable occasions. The Chinese TV presenters also prefer wearing Tang suits during TV shows, (especial) at Spring Festival Galas.

Walker quickly1 traditional Chinese emergency methods for the girl, as CPR (心肺复苏术) might not have been as2 and there was a3 of breaking her bones on the hard ground.

Walker phoned his teacher Song Zhaopu and, under his4 guidance, sprayed5 water on her face and6 her elbow area. After over 20 pats, the girl started to7, and she could speak a few words.

Traditional Chinese medicine8 that tapping the elbow area can help clear energy paths and improve blood flow. Spraying cold water on the face was an9 method to make someone conscious by stimulating the skin.

Faced with newfound fame and praise online, Walker10 said: "It's not me, it's the wisdom of the ancients. I just11 what my teacher taught me." He believes that it's patients who are helping the doctors, as being a doctor12 constantly gaining and testing experience through practice.

Joel Mikael came to China in 2015 and following a year of13 Chinese language study, he went to Henan University of Chinese Medicine.

In the early stages of his journey into the traditional Chinese medicine, Walker always14 some Chinese herbal medicine by himself, just like Shen Nong, a character in Chinese legend, who tasted most of the herbal medicine himself to know their properties and healing15.

The questions were based on moral foundations theory, aiming to understand why morality seems to follow similar patterns among people from diverse cultures. According to this theory, morality can be categorized into five foundational values — care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity. These values fall into two groups: individualizing values and binding values.

Not all types of values exhibited a clear seasonal pattern. For example, individualizing values, which emphasize the morality of individual rights, showed little variation over time and did not follow a seasonal trend. In contrast, binding values — those that prioritize group needs, such as loyalty, respect for authority, and purity of tradition — followed a biannual (一年两次的) pattern.

To gain deeper insights into their findings, the researchers also studied patterns in Google search results related to anxiety. They discovered that population-level anxiety also followed a seasonal cycle — peaking in spring and fall, suggesting a possible correlation (关联性). Spring and fall are generally considered the most enjoyable seasons, so an increase in anxiety during these times may come as a surprise. But it's possible that increases in school and work-related changes during these times could play some role. They also suggest that anxiety may decrease in winter due to seasonal holidays, and in summer because of warmer weather and increased vegetation (植被).

"We often perceive moral values as unchanging principles that we hold close," says Professor Hohm. However, they are actually influenced by various factors that we may not notice. Understanding how this happens can help us better comprehend and plan for seasonal shifts.

But what if there were a way to relieve the tedium of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there's virtual reality.

Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player ‘getting a good sweat on' if played for enough time. For example, there's a first person shooter which forces the player to sidestep, duck and other sport actions. That's cardio (有氧运动). Or there's a music game which forces players to shadowbox in order to hit the notes—that's an upper-body workout.

The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by one company. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don't hang up your gym shorts just yet.

Although it's early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not.

The trail was steep and tough, with sections that seemed almost insurmountable (不可逾越的). As I climbed, my legs burned, and my breath grew short. There were moments when I wanted to turn back, to retreat to the comfort of the familiar. But something inside me urged me to press on, to see what lay beyond the next bend. It was in these moments of doubt and exhaustion that I began to reflect on the nature of perseverance.

Perseverance, I realized, is not just about pushing through physical pain or mental exhaust. It is about maintaining a sense of purpose, even when the destination is unclear. It is about trusting that the effort we put in will eventually yield results, even if those results are not immediately visible. This lesson was not new to me, but experiencing it in such a real way brought it into sharper focus.

As I continued my climbing, I noticed how the landscape changed with each step. The dense forest gave way to open meadows, and the air grew cooler. The higher I climbed, the more expansive the view became. It was a powerful reminder that perspective is everything. What seems like an insurmountable obstacle from one point can appear entirely different from another. This shift in perspective can be transformative, allowing us to see challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities for growth.

By the time I reached the summit, I was exhausted but excited. The view from the top was breathtaking, a reward for the effort it had taken to get there. But more than the view, it was the journey itself that left a lasting impression. The climb had taught me valuable lessons about resilience, perspective, and the importance of staying the course, even when the path is difficult.

Life, like the mountain trail, is full of challenges that test our limits and push us to grow. It is through these challenges that we discover our strength and resilience. And while the journey may be difficult, the lessons we learn and the perspectives we gain make it all worthwhile.

It was a Saturday. I can't recall if the weather was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, warm or chilly, but I distinctly remember it was a weekend day since the mall was packed with people.

I was accompanying my mother that day. Being short and skinny, she tends to go unnoticed in crowds because she is ordinary.

On that day we wandered down the avenue, stealing brief glimpses of window boutiques (精品店) while we understand our shopping would be minimal, just like always. I recall looking up at the passersby as we made our way down the street. Ladies wore five-inch heels (高跟鞋) that clicked importantly on the floor and bright, luxury clothing. A sense of discomfort began to grow in my heart. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother.

It was evident we were in a high-class neighborhood — the luxurious surroundings left no doubt about that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment located at the county border that Mom had specifically picked for its reputable schools. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom. I realized for the first time that we didn't belong there. I could see the deep wrinkles around Mom's eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes, and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Exhaustion showed in her eyes from working long hours to make ends meet, while premature gray streaks ran through her hair. Staring at her, I felt a pang of shame.

There was nothing extraordinary about my mom's looks, but at that particular moment, her plainness made her stand out. Saying I'd meet her at the clothes store around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn't want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the store with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn't there.

Dujiangyan is the (old) man-made water system in the world, and a wonder in the development of Chinese science. Built over 2, 200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering (achieve) is still used today.

In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered regular floods (cause) by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region governor, together with his son, decided to find effective solution. Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing (natural). Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making suitable for farming.

Once the system (finish), no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modern dams the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, (enable) ecosystem (生态系统) and fish populations to exist in harmony.

One of my6 in becoming a scientist is Barbara McClintock. She has been awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. At 25 she already had her PhD in botany and after that she started her7 as the leader in the development of maize cytogenetics (玉米细胞遗传学) and she was8 to that research for the rest of her life.

If I am lucky and given the9 to achieve my ambition as a scientist, I want to be like Doctor McClintock. She10 something that helped the other scientists11 the thing about genetics that did not just help her generation but also the future generation.

I know I will be able to achieve my12 as long as I put my heart and perseverance into it. If I am lucky enough to achieve my goal, I will share my13 with all the kids who also love science and want to become scientists. My future will be as14 as the stars in the night sky. My future is still far but I will make the most of all in the15 to achieve my greatest ambition of becoming a scientist.

Limits are blocks between you and your success. You will face great resistance when attempting to break through the limits. It could be fear, lack of confidence, physical disabilities, and mental block. If you desire a life of success, you must face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits. Here are tips for you to succeed.

Don't wait for external motivation to make the first move. Discover your inner motivation! It could be a motivational video, articles, TED Talks, or quotes. Ensure it is something that fills you with passion and drive to get things done. Inspiration can push you forward.

Take on a little more than you think you can. Pushing past your limits means taking on newer, harder challenges. If you're not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you're only working within what you already can do.

Work on your goals a little each day. Chances are great that you need to build your empire brick by brick. That takes time and regular effort. That is, there is not a day that you don't work on your big goals, at least a little bit. It can be fifteen minutes dedicated to doing one small thing that will get you closer to that big thing you want to accomplish.

Find someone who supports you and encourages you to keep going. Having someone to support you can balance out the impact of any negative thinking that may limit you. It could be a life coach, friend, parent, or your wife or husband. They can help you make the push you need to get out of your comfort zone.

A. If you don't do this, your goals and dreams will remain out of reach.

B. Even small help makes a big difference when facing challenges.

C. That's just standing still without making any real progress.

D. A smart strategy is to follow the "No Zero Days" rule.

E. Progress comes step by step.

F. Find what truly excites you.

G. Motivate yourself.

However, if you put decals (贴花纸) or colorful stickers outside of your windows, the birds are more likely to see the barrier and therefore avoid it. Remember: never inside your window; always outside of your window.

"Double-glazed (双层的) windows reflect a lot of light, especially when you view them from a slight angle, as a flying bird would do,"Swaddle told Salon. He is the corresponding author of a recent study which tries to figure out how this basic reality of physics impacts on a bird's experience as it flies near a standard window. For their experiment, researchers had birds perform repeated and controlled flight trials near windows with film (薄膜) products, BirdShades film and Haverkamp film, respectively.

"In our collision avoidance trials, BirdShades increased window avoidance by 47% and the Haverkamp increased avoidance by 39%. But neither product was effective when the films were applied to the internal surface of windows," the authors concluded.

When breaking down the problem of avoiding window collisions from a bird's point of view, Swaddle explained, "The light and reflected imagery from the external surface of the glass is sufficient toobscure a film or decal that is stuck to the inner surface from being seen clearly."

If you want to protect birds from easily avoidable deaths without buying window film products, there are other solutions. Swaddle recommended "pleasing fritted glass that could be used in new construction and which is also bird-friendly". Besides, he notes that screens can be helpful as well, not only by limiting reflectiveness but by providing birds with a cushion if they make impact. It is also possible to use everyday household objects to signal to birds that there are barriers—netting, bits of string, colorful stickers, and paint. These can all be used to this effect.

Water was stored in tiny glass beads (珠子) in the lunar dirt where meteorite (陨石) impacts occur. These shiny, multicolored glass beads were in samples returned from the moon by China in 2020. The beads range in size from the width of one hair to several hairs; the water content was just a very small part of that, according to Hui HeJiu of Nanjing University, who took part in the study.

Since there are billions if not trillions of these impact beads, that could amount to substantial amounts of water, but mining it would be tough, according to the team. "Yes, it will require lots and lots of glass beads. There are lots and lots of beads on the moon," said Hui in an email.

"These beads could continually yield water thanks to the constant bombardment by hydrogen in the solar wind. The findings are based on 32 glass beads randomly selected from lunar dirt returned from the Chang'e 5 moon mission. Therefore, more samples will be studied," said Hui.

These impact beads are everywhere, the result of the cooling of melted material pushed out by incoming space rocks. Water could be got by heating the beads, possibly by future robotic missions. "More studies are needed to determine whether this would be feasible and, if so, whether the water would be safe to drink. This shows water can be recharged on the moon's surface…a new water reservoir on the moon," said Hui.

Previous studies found water in glass beads formed by lunar volcanic activities, based on samples returned by the Apollo moonwalkers more than a half-century ago. These, too, could provide water not only for use by future crews, but for rocket fuel.

Ferrell's heart ached when she read the message. She knew she had to do something. She sent them a wind chime (风铃) with the message "Listen to the wind and know that I am near." written on the clapper. It now hangs in the four-year-old's bedroom, where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. Ferrell says, "I hope it brings him some comfort. Sometimes, a small gesture can mean the world to someone going through a tough time."

This is not the first time that Ferrell decided to give gifts for her birthday. In fact, for her 47th birthday in 2014, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and beyond. Its motto is simple: Be Love, Do Stuff. "I believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference," Ferrell explains. "It's amazing to see the joy on people's faces when you do something unexpected for them."

To celebrate her 53rd birthday, Ferrell decided to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month. She put out a call on her Facebook page, asking for information on people who could use a little help. Over the years, she has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found through Facebook callouts, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shares her favourite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. Her grandkids often join her on these missions, making it a family affair. "It's amazing to see the joy on people's faces," she says. "And it's even more rewarding when my grandkids are involved. They learn the value of kindness and compassion."

Ferrell funds all these acts of kindness herself. She buys gift cards, makes pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, sends care packages, and even covers the gas to deliver these surprises. Her family often gives her extra birthday cash, jokingly warning her not to spend it on others, but she always does. "I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my birthday this year and was like YESSS!" she says with a laugh. "It's my party, and I'll give if I want to!"

Animated Film "Chang An" Love Letter to Golden Age of Poetry

A Chinese animated (动画) film, Chang An, featuring some of China's most well-known poets has been a surprise hit at the box office. Since its release on July 8, the film (fetch) over 700 million yuan, leading the domestic box office over the weekend. It is also a success by (arouse) enthusiasm for poetic romance in the hearts of moviegoers.

The film is set by in the Tang dynasty, is often seen as a golden age in Chinese history from 618A.D.to 907 A.D. due to its (economy) and cultural prosperity, describing the stories of Gao Shi and Li Bai, their struggles to better themselves and society in the Tang dynasty.

Sitting in cinemas (crowd) with moviegoers of all age groups, the audience eagerly recited poetry alongside the actors on screen as they headed down memory lane. The movie is undoubtedly a masterpiece showing characteristics of Chinese culture to the world. "The most fascinating part of the film is realizing that these familiar names were not just great poets real people with flesh and blood," Liao Kun, a Guangdong resident who watched the movie Saturday, told Sixth Tone.

Zhou Jing, the chief director, (stress) after the film's debut (首秀), "We created Chang'an to explore into the limitless treasures of Chinese culture through animation." Xie Junwei, who co-directed the movie with Zou Jing, said the film was aimed at increasing (aware) among young Chinese of traditional Chinese culture and history. "We want to tell the stories of the brilliant figures to young people through an animated film so that they can have a deeper understanding and more enthusiasm our history and classic works," Xie told domestic media Beijing Daily.

Down below4 a boy of about four. Filled with a mixture of5 and happiness, he stomped (踩) through the puddle, mud and water flying. He walked, stomped, splashed through that puddle6, happily enjoying what mother nature had left for him.

Not more than ten feet away stood his mother. She didn't scold him.7, she watched with a pleasant smile on her face. She showed no8 for a little mud and for the laundry she would later have to do. As for me, it was a (n)9 moment that changed the way I will forever view my role as a mother.

The little boy probably will10 each afternoon that his mother takes him outside, as he11. He may not remember each little thing that happens each time his mother lets him12 his world. But he will remember that his mother13 him and he will know that she helps him to learn and grow in a pleasant and fun environment.

Maybe we can all learn from the innocence of14 that views a rainstorm not as something to run through or to avoid, but something meant to explore, to15 and to love.

Wash your hands

When it comes to preventing the spread of infectious diseases, proper hand hygiene (卫生) is vital. and from there to your eyes and mouth where they can gain access to inside your body. Thus, washing your hands is one of the first steps to take to reduce the transfer of infectious agents.

Avoid touching your face, eyes, and nose

People tend to touch their face several times throughout the day. This is when the infectious agents in your hands gain access to your body., the eyes, the nose and the mouth do allow.

Prepare and store food safely

Some pathogens can be transferred into your body via food (so called foodborne illnesses)., it can multiply and cause illness. Thus, it is vital you prepare and store all food appropriately.

Travel wisely

Be aware of the risks of infection that increase when you travel. Some infections may be more common in places where you are traveling compared to where you live. Talk to your doctor about important vaccinations to get before traveling..

A. If you are ever exposed to the pathogen

B. Pathogens are easily transferred (转移) to your skin

C. This allows you to be more prepared to the native pathogens

D. With some healthy habits, you can keep many illnesses at bay

E. Once food is consumed and the pathogen gains access to your body

F. Understanding infectious diseases helps you manage your risk factors

G. Where an undamaged skin does not allow transfer of pathogens into the body

Each new robot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (有磁性的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down. When the light goes out, they let go and are free to be used again.

"This work is great," says Douglas Blackiston at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He's a biologist who did not work on the project but knows about such devices. He's been designing robots out of living cells, including some that might help with pollution cleanup. Speaking of the new one, he mentions that, "These robots can eat plastic. They chew it up. Or they can recover it and be collected with a magnet. Scientists love robots with all these capabilities. "

Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. About a decade ago, he says, scientists began developing tiny bots that could move themselves in water. Then, they had to find them a mission and thought "Let's make them do something useful." Since then, Pumera has focused on the problem posed by microplastics, which are everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They've turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water, and some studies estimate that trillions of pieces of plastic end up in the world's waters. The plastic has many sources, from drinking straws and shopping bags to laundry and cleaning wipes. Plastic doesn't easily degrade or fall apart, and that's always been one of its appeals.

Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world.

Recovery efforts in the wild began in 1987 on the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. In a ground-breaking successful experiment, eight captive (圈养的) wolves were released this year into North Carolina, eventually growing into a population over 100, reaching a peak of around 120 wolves in 2012. But illegal hunting and management changes by the Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in their numbers plummeting.

In the spring, conservationists celebrated a small bit of good news when four captive-born pups (幼兽) were placed into a cave and successfully adopted by a wild red wolf mother. Meanwhile, another four adults were released into the wild. The pups are thought to be still alive and healthy. But the adults didn't go well. In the months after release, three were struck by cars and killed, and the fourth was fatally shot on private land.

To boost the population after these deaths, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced in November that it planned to release nine adult red wolves into their recovery area this winter, land within and surrounding two wildlife reserves.

The Service also recently announced it would withdraw a 2018 proposal to shrink (缩小) the red wolves' protected area in North Carolina by 90 percent, after a lawsuit accused the agency of going against the Endangered Species Act. Ron Sutherland of the Wildlands Network says it's crucial that the agency has abandoned this wrong-headed proposal. And yet the situation now is even more urgent than it was in 2018 — this should launch the conservation community in the U. S. into crisis mode to save this species and bring it back from the extinction.
