It's more than just about having a healthy mouth. Our mouth is the first place where food goes, and it holds bacteria (细菌). . And our mouth affects our confidence, too. Problems like bad breath or misaligned (不整的) teeth can make us want to avoid socializing.

People have long been dreaming of living on Mars one day. But Mars doesn't have enough oxygen (氧气) for us to breathe! Luckily, some smart scientists from China worked with a robot called the "Machine Chemist" to find a way to make oxygen on Mars. Together, they found a catalyst (催化剂) that helps make oxygen faster with less energy.

As we know, Mars has a little bit of water, and scientists have found a way to use sunlight to get oxygen from the water. But here's the difficult part: They needed a catalyst to speed up the process, and bringing the catalyst from Earth to Mars would be expensive. That's why the "Machine Chemist", known as Xiao Lai, comes in.

Xiao Lai is smart and can learn, think, and do experiments. It has read over 50,000 scientific papers before it found the perfect method for the catalyst. Can you imagine how many combinations (组合) scientists had to try? More than 3.76 million! It would have taken humans thousands of years to test them all, but don't worry — Xiao Lai did the job in six weeks!

The scientists are excited about this breakthrough (重大进展) because it opens up new chances for exploring (探索) space. This discovery is a huge deal because it means we can make oxygen on Mars without bringing everything from Earth.

Yang Zhiyang is a 23-year-old boy from Baoji, Shaanxi Province. He has become an example for young people as he works full-time to take care of his mother, who has ALS (渐冻症). Yang's mother, Su Jing, got ALS in 2010 and she couldn't do normal things easily. Because Yang's father had to work for long hours to make money, Yang started to take care of his mother after finishing college in 2020.

Because of the disease, Yang's mother needs help with almost everything. She needs to be carried up and down the stairs. She also has difficulty speaking. She can still type on her mobile phone, but most of the time, she chooses to communicate with her son in another way.

"My mother and I use eye contact (接触) for most of our communication," Yang says. "For example, when she wants to sleep, she uses her eyes to show that she is tired, and she turns her head towards the bedroom. And when she needs water, she will look at the water cup on the table."

For many things, Yang has to be very careful, including helping her mother bathe and use the toilet. Though the work is difficult, Yang enjoys all the time he spends with his mother. He accompanies (陪伴) her every time she exercises. To make it more fun, he often sings to her.

Yang's love for his mother has touched many people. But Yang says it's only natural that he should take care of his mother. "My mother brought me up. I'm just doing what a son should do," he says.

"I should be studying for my mid- term exams," I thought, "not lying here in bed. But my strange illness made me come back home from school in the middle of the term. Now, I have to wait for a specialist who can't see me until the end of the month."

I had been so positive about getting answers for my muscle weakness, but I wok e up with my feelings just as heavy as my body. I started doubting the hope I was holding on to. At this point, I had been lying in bed for two months with no improvement.

I was falling in and out of sleep when I heard a knock at the door. It was a nurse. After I had fainted (昏厥) from tiredness at the doctor's office a month earlier, he decided I was too weak to leave my house, so he ordered in- home care. But it was a Friday night. Nurses never came this late.

My mom walked the nurse upstairs to my bedroom. She looked very concerned.

"Hi, Alyssa, I'm Grace," she said. "I saw your blood work, and your numbers are all over the place. We need to get you into a hospital soon. You know what? My brother worked at a medical center. I'll get you an appointment there first thing Monday morning.

Up until this point, doctors had been telling me that I was stressed and just needed rest, or that something was so wrong that life as I knew would never be the same. What I needed was someone to know that I was living in a very dark place, and to shine some light into my situation. Thank Grace for her appearance.

On Saturday morning, we arrived at the medical center. Because of Grace, my name was in their system and I was agreed to be checked in and seen by their doctors.

The doctors immediately diagnosed (诊断) me with the muscle disease called myasthenia gravis (重症肌无力). They found all of this and more.

But some people think that focusing on your carbon footprint is not very useful. Instead, a new idea called the climate shadow (阴影) has become popular. This idea was first introduced by a writer named Emma Pattee from Portland, Oregon. The climate shadow looks at all of a person's choices and their influence on the planet. The bigger the shadow, the more positive influence a person has on the planet.

Pattee explained her idea, "Your climate shadow is like a dark shape that follows you everywhere. It counts not only how much air conditioning you use and how much gas your car uses, but also how you vote, how many children you have, where you work, how you invest your money, how much you talk about climate change, and whether your words make people feel urgent, indifferent, or in denial about climate change."

For example, if you put solar panels (太阳能电池板) on your roof, your carbon footprint might get smaller. But your climate shadow would get bigger if you talk to your neighbors about your choice. Even just having solar panels on your roof can influence your neighbors to get their own. Studies show that people are more likely to install solar panels if their neighbors have them.

In other words, the climate shadow idea encourages actions that inspire others. Your climate shadow grows when your actions, even unknowingly, motivate others to take positive steps for the planet.

A national study, led by UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), asked children and young people aged 6 to 23 years old, across all four UK nations for their ideas on how they would like AI to be used in their healthcare.

The results of the survey showed that children and young people are cautious (谨慎的), but generally positive about AI. Young people didn't mind using AI in healthcare, especially if it could improve their care and outcomes. However, they wanted the tools to be directed by healthcare professionals as they feel there are something that AI cannot do and when faced between a human and computer, they would be more willing to trust the human.

Lead researcher, Professor Susan Shelmerdine and her team are hoping to develop AI tools that can create written reports direct from radiology images and allow patients to ask the AI questions about their imaging.

Professor Shelmerdine said, "The number of trained children's radiologists in the UK is relatively small, so tools like AI could help upskill our workforce to enable more care for patients who don't have the chance to visit specialist hospitals like GOSH."

"However, we cannot assume that we know what children want. It was encouraging to see that when asked, children and young people were positive about the use of AI in their healthcare, but it was also important to understand what was important to them— such as human oversight— so that we can factor this into the development of new tools and treatments," Shelmerdine added.

The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses' station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.

I was guiding nurse that day and had just done clean-up in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses' station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.

I was surprised, "Five, how did I get five; I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room."

"Well, there are five signed in."

So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.

"Are you all sick?" I asked suspiciously.

"Yes," she said weakly and lowered her head.

"Okay," I replied, unconvinced, "Who's first?" One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.

Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. She responded, "Take your time; it's warm in here and there is a Christmas tree."
