At Ichikawa City Zoo, a baby monkey named Punch has become a popular attraction. Last year, after being abandoned by his mother shortly after birth, he (rescue) quickly by zoo staff.

Baby monkeys normally cling to their mothers for strength and (secure). Keepers tried different (alternative), such as towels and soft toys, before choosing a stuffed monkey Punch could easily grasp. Since then, Punch has (rare) been seen without the toy, carrying it everywhere despite its size. Although Punch has had some difficulties communicating with other monkeys, staff say he is slowly learning social skills and becoming accepted member of the group.

The clips, (release) on the internet and gaining rapid popularity among users, attracted a surge of visitors. Shoppers began searching the same toy in stores. And many even shared photos of themselves (hold) similar stuffed animals. Punch now spends most of his time playing and resting with his toy, which seems to give him much comfort. Pleased with the progress Punch (make) so far, zoo staff say they hope he will gradually adapt to life among the other monkeys.

At a beach, Austin and his mother Joanne went out in a kayak (皮划艇). At first, the sea appeared2. Soon, strong winds began to3 violently across the water, raising huge waves. Minutes later, the kayak filled with water and suddenly4, throwing them into the icy sea.

They struggled desperately, but the waves5 them farther away. Joanne made a quick6, and shouted," Austin, swim to the beach and get help!"

Austin began swimming toward the distant shore. For four hours, he battled freezing waves and powerful7. While he swam, Austin8 happy thoughts to help him keep going. Finally, he felt sand beneath his feet. Shaking with cold, he9 two kilometers along the beach to a telephone booth. He quickly10 the phone and called 911 for help before11 from exhaustion.

At around 8:30 p.m., a helicopter12 Joanne far offshore. Rescuers checked her.13 and treated her for cold exposure.

People widely14 Austin's strong will. Hearing their praise, the boy simply replied, "I just did what I had to do," revealing a calm15 that impressed everyone.

Specifically, their study showed that social isolation can cause excessive iron accumulation in the brain regions responsible for emotion regulation. This is exactly the hidden biological mechanism they uncovered. Iron is essential for maintaining brain health and normal neural function. An overload of iron can be harmful when people are under long-term psychological stress.

To prove this theory, the team carried out a series of experiments on mice. They found that mice living alone had significantly higher iron levels in the emotion-control brain area than those living in groups. Too much iron in this area activates a specific protein, which further triggers abnormal brain cell activity and eventually causes anxiety-like behaviors in the test animals.

The abnormal brain activity has a direct impact on emotional regulation, and the team named this special iron-related mechanism "ferroplasticity". It bridges the gap between excessive brain iron and emotional disorders, providing a brand-new angle to understand and treat such mental health problems.

Besides, the study also brought a promising non-invasive treatment. Nasal medication targeting the iron or the related protein greatly reduced anxiety symptoms in mice within just two weeks. In the future, the team plans to optimize the nasal spray and conduct more clinical trials to make it suitable for human use.

A. This protein can effectively reduce abnormal activity in brain cells.

B. This iron buildup is the direct trigger of the anxiety-related brain changes.

C. This mechanism has opened a new chapter in the study of anxiety treatment.

D. But it only plays a positive role when kept within a normal concentration range.

E. The team also explored the link between iron levels and social isolation in mice.

F. Their findings finally uncovered the hidden mechanism behind this long-known link.

G. This non-invasive method has clear advantages over traditional anti-anxiety medicine.

Most traditional eye tracking systems depend on external power supplies, which make them bulky, heavy and unfit for prolonged daily wear. For ALS patients who rely on such devices to maintain independent mobility, heavy head-mounted equipment, tangled power cables and constant low-battery alerts have long been major barriers to their daily life. To address this unmet need, the team developed a creative, user-centered solution: harvesting electricity directly from the wearer's natural eye movements.

The new system, ultra-light and fully wearable like a pair of ordinary prescription glasses, is designed for long-time comfortable wear. It adopts a dual-layer structure: a soft contact lens-like PDMS layer attaches gently to the eyeball, functioning as a mini triboelectric generator that produces steady electrical current through the friction generated by blinking or subtle eye rotations. The glasses frame is equipped with transparent electrodes that act as signal transmitters, converting tiny charge changes into real-time commands to steer the wheelchair accurately and smoothly.

While the technology brings unprecedented hope to ALS patients, it still faces practical hurdles before large-scale clinical and daily application. Zhang Jun, a core researcher of the team, noted that they are deepening cooperation with industry partners to accelerate commercialization. If mass production is achieved successfully, this self-powered system will grant ALS patients greater independence, dignity and control over their lives, all through a simple blink.

The research links regular tea consumption, especially green tea, to significantly reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes. Regular drinkers also show slower age-related cognitive decline, better muscle preservation and lower all-cause death rates. These positive effects are supported by both laboratory tests and long-term human observation studies. Its health benefits mainly come from natural polyphenols (多酚), especially catechins (儿茶素). Green tea has been studied exhaustively, while the exact health effects of black, oolong and white tea remain less explored by the scientific community.

Yet the research also warns of hidden health risks tied to commercial tea products. Highly processed options like bottled and bubble teas often contain harmful artificial additives, such as added sugars, sweeteners and preservatives. Heavy long-term tea drinkers may also face low-level risks from pesticide residues or heavy metals in a small number of tea leaf samples. These risks are often overlooked by most daily tea drinkers.

Overall, the study concludes that freshly brewed tea offers the most reliable and consistent health benefits. Moderate regular intake of brewed tea may effectively cut risks of common chronic diseases, while processed tea products should be consumed with proper caution. The authors note further targeted research is needed to clarify effects across different tea types and consumer groups, to provide scientific guidance for public daily tea drinking habits.

"Stay in control at the start," her coach Wang Jingping reminded her. Liu nodded. Four cable cars and three warm-up runs had brought her here.

At 31, the sitting-class skier faced one of the toughest courses she had ever encountered. Rolling bumps threatened to lift her into the air, requiring careful timing and precise control.

"The bumps are tricky," she said before the race. "I must choose the right line and turn at the exact moment."

Alpine skiing was unpredictable. A single mistake could end a run. Liu had already competed in all five events and earned three bronze medals, yet medals were not her only goal.

"Our goal is to show courage," she had told her teammates. "Standing on the starting line is already a victory."

Taking a deep breath, Liu leaned forward and pushed off. The icy wind roared past her as she navigated each curve, handled every bump, and passed every gate with precision. The crowd's cheers echoed along the slope, urging her forward.

With a final sharp turn, she crossed the finish line. Her time was not the fastest, but her run was clean and controlled. Liu smiled, her heart racing. She had faced the mountain and conquered it on her terms. In that moment, she understood what true victory meant — just as she had believed before the race: it was not the fastest time, but the courage to step up, the focus to keep going, and the determination to challenge herself again and again.
