For a moment, I saw him reaching for the glass of water in front of him. But somehow, the water glass fell out of his hand and3 my newly-bought dress. I was4 angry and almost jumped up, ready to5 my anger. But before I could speak, he turned to me, full of6, and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I have a tremor (震颤症) and sometimes I can't7 my arms." Then he quickly handed me a clean towel (毛巾).

That's when I realized I was8 about him. I thought he did it9, but he was just managing his own problem, and I had been10 him all the time! I felt very awkward and quickly replied, "It's OK. Don't worry about it."

As the flight continued, we talked more and I learned more about his life and the11 he faced every day. He also shared cases (事例) of strangers'12 of his condition and how he bravely faced and13 the situations. Gradually, I felt a growing sense of14 for his strength (力量) and determination (决心) to live a normal (正常的) life regardless of his illness.

This journey reminded me to be kind, patient, and helpful towards those facing difficulties. And I got off the plane, deciding to be more15 of others' needs.

A. Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.

B. Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents".

C. If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?

D. They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

E. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life — or "IRL", as you would say?

Aged communities, which have developed and changed naturally over a long period, hold unique cultures of their own. The buildings inside them are irreplaceable (不可替代的) to the environment. Choosing to pull down such architecture basically is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Constructing "green" can be about saving time-honored, local building traditions that value the local cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies.

The construction supplies (建筑材料) and workmanship are also worth protecting, not simply because of the environmental cost of producing and transporting them, but for the fact that some of such supplies and the workmanship no longer live. For example, my little river cottage (别墅) in West Virginia, which was built with chestnut before the disappearance of the chestnut trees, may never again be sourced. However, the probable buyer planned to pull it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of downgrading the source but also goes against the idea of workable development.

As the Preservation Green Lab report describes, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30% more practical (实用的) than a common present building to overcome the harmful climate (气候) change results connected to the construction, which focuses on the necessity of ongoing use of present buildings and communities, successfully stopping or decreasing (减少) the use of forests, farms, wildlife homes and open areas for new construction tasks.

As Carl Elefante of Quinn- Evans architects artfully said, "The greenest building is one that is already built." Hopefully, the public will come to the agreement that present buildings are worth more care and attention.

Southern Viddle School students and their science teacher, Jenna Borman, are working on a prototype (雏形) desk that they hope to be connected to the wheelchair of their classmate, Kenneth, who has a special kind of illness and uses a computer as his primary way of communication.

"At present, the iPad with a strap (带子) that goes around his neck and a handle (把手) on the back of it for him to hold is pretty heavy. When he's seated, it kind of just lays on his legs. It's not very easy for him to use," Borman said, "Kenneth always has to hold his iPad, and so this project is going to help him just set it there so his hands are free," said Julia Baker to a school newspaper reporter.

What started off as an engineering after-school program has turned into a prize-winning idea. The students recently won a statewide Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) competition called " Solve for Tomorrow", which came with $12,000 worth of technology for the school.

"We thought it was just an idea for Kenny, and then we won. So, it was like, wow," said Avery Willet excitedly.

"This whole project is really teaching us about how to work together and how we can help other people and not just us," added Everleigh Finnelle.

"I learned how to work with others, and a lot of teamwork made this project the best it could be," said Haley Brown.

"There is still room for improvement. Our team is working on the prototype, making changes so it works perfectly for Kenny. We're really most looking forward to seeing him using it freely," Finnelle said. The final design won't be ready for the national competition until next month.

Oliver, a bright and considerate boy who came to the library often, quickly sensed Emma's anxiety. Having always valued her warmth and hard work, Oliver went up to her with a gentle smile."Why don't we get over our fear like heroes (男主人公) in them?" he suggested kindly,pointing to the books on the desk. Moved by the boy's encouragement, Emma agreed softly," Alright, let's give it a try" With each practice, Emma slowly built up the confidence to bravely face her fear.

With the festival coming around the corner, Emma practiced before small groups, then larger ones, seemingly improving. But a week before the great day, she received an unexpected letter from her old teacher, Mr Langston, who expressed his decision to attend and looked forward to her speech, adding to her anxiety. Noticing her worry, Oliver told her how much she had improved. They did a final practice in front of her workmates, whose encouragement increased her confidence greatly, calming (使……冷静下来) her nerves for the big day.

The day of the festival arrived. Stepping onto the stage, Emma felt her heart beating wildly.She took a deep breath and began to speak. Oliver, sitting in the front row, watched with pride.His smile widened as he heard confidence in her voice. All the guests listened attentively. When Emma encouraged everyone to learn from books, there was silence for several seconds—— then the applause (掌声) swept across the hall. Tears of happiness filled her eyes, for the great support from Oliver and the guests.

Emma felt a warmth in her heart as she said goodbye to the guests. She knew she could face whatever came next.

Frieder, Germany

Hi, Frieder here. I go to a high school in Munich. I'm not very interested in lessons, but I know I have to get an education. It's very difficult for young people to find a job in Europe, so I'm anxious about my future. I'm a gaming lover. I love Internet games so much that I have started a gaming club at my school. Maybe I'll see you online — my screen name is FastFreddy.

After a decade of learning this art form, I had4 been considered ready to take on the most difficult act. The test is the most important event in a dancer's life.

The performance was undertaken only by the most5 and determined students. It was a difficult process that required much commitment. For more than six months, I spent two to three hours every day6 these dances. Many times, I7 myself to my physical and mental breaking point, but still I would not stop. I could not give up. There was always so much more to do and so much more to8.

I discovered a lot about myself in those tiring hours. I learnt that I was far too9 to give up, and I was too proud to prove myself10 after I had set an unrealistic goal. Even with physical pain and mental11, I forced myself to meet my12. Even when I was at the end of my13, there was always something driving me on, forcing me not to give up.

Fortunately, I made it. What I had done14 the success. It was in those hours that I learnt what a dancer15 is.

Obesity is a major public health concern. Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results. Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity. However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity.

The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night. The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020. The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session.

Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day — which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term.

Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity.

"In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation," Dr. Tasali said. "Now we've shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories. This could really help people trying to lose weight."

In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of "Wild Shaale" on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation (保护) and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning.

While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it's delivered effectively and consistently. "You have to visualize (想象) what these schools look like. They may not have electricity—forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything. "

Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions (看法) and hopefully, behaviors. "It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise," Karanth says. "But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That's something we're trying to work on. It's not easy."
