Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, "Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. "We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting."

Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, "While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); While environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different friends), become more influential in later years." This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated.

Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different.

Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, "As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I'm talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson — people who have had a transformational effect on who we are."

So where is the quote from? Well, John Muir was a productive writer. Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family, John Muir was always putting pen to paper. The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister:

For 23-year-old Zhao Xiangcai, college student in Tai'an, Shandong Province, climbing Taishan Mountain had always been a daunting task. This Spring Festival, his otherwise exhausting experience (transform) by a robotic exoskeleton device. "It felt like the robot was doing most of the work for me."

The robotic exoskeleton, weighing just 1.8 kilograms, has been developed by the Taishan Cultural Tourism Group in collaboration with Kenqing Technology, a company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It is designed    (assist) users in climbing steep terrain with ease. The device, fits snugly around a user's waist and legs, integrates advanced ergonomics, power electronics and artificial intelligence algorithms to perceive movement and provide assistance based    the terrain and the user's strides.

The robotic exoskeleton can function nonstop for more than five hours on a single charge,      (cover) approximately 14 kilometers of steep terrain, making it an (idea) companion for those who want to enjoy the bliss of mountains excessive physical strain.

According a report by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, humanoid robots are poised to become the next major technology platform after personal computers, smartphones and new energy vehicles,(potential) forming a trillion-yuan-level market.

Listen and follow up

First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let's say the other person tells you, "I just got back from a trip to Canada." Where did you go in Canada? What was your favorite place there?

How was the food there?

Avold simple "yes" or "no" questions

If you want to keep a conversation going, it's a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no". If the other person asks you a "yes" or "no" question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going.

For example, a friend might ask, "Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie?" You could just answer, "No, I haven't." You could answer: "No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you?"

Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy.

A. Or, you could say more.

B. Be brave and practice often.

C. You can try the following ways.

D. Why did you choose the destination?

E. Then you may make a new friend.

F. Correct your pronunciation if possible.

G. You can continue with a question using where, what, why, or how.

After surviving a terrible disaster called the "Heavenly Tribulation (天劫)," Ne Zha and Ao Bing lost their physical bodies. Their souls were in great danger until Taiyi Zhenren (太乙真人), a wise immortal from Chinese mythology, saved them using a magical seven-colored lotus. However, peace did not last long. Their souls began to disappear again, forcing Taiyi Zhenren to face a difficult task — rebuilding their bodies with limited materials while solving unexpected problems.

The film shows remarkable character growth. Ne Zha, once known for his rebellious nature, learns to care deeply for his friends and understand his true self. His friend Ao Bing, who used to struggle with personal troubles, transforms into a brave warrior. In one powerful scene, Ao Bing declares courageously, "If there's no path, I'll create one!"

Visually, the movie is a feast for the eyes. It begins with thrilling scenes of flowing lava like wild rivers and terrifying sea monsters jumping out of the water, making viewers feel as if they are part of the action. Later, the story takes the audience to Kunlun Mountain (昆仑山) a magical place from Chinese myths filled with colorful landscapes and graceful fairy-like creatures. The most unforgettable part is the final battle, where characters use amazing weapons like the shape-changing Tianyuan Ding (天元鼎). The fast paced fighting and brilliant special effects leave a strong impression.

Beyond the action, Ne Zha 2 teaches important life lessons. It encourages people to stay brave when facing difficulties, fight for what is right, and value friendship. These themes resonate with both young and adult audiences.

The film has broken box office records, earning an astonishing amount in its first week. It also received high praise from critics and viewers, currently holding an 8.6/10 rating on major review platforms. Many praise its perfect mix of cultural elements, exciting storytelling, and positive messages.

By focusing on more than 150 commercial ideas that didn't succeed for various reasons, the exhibition aims to stimulate discussion about accepting and learning from failure, for example, new Coke, limeade-flavored Oreo cookies, crystal Pepsi and a "hula chair" for exercise.

The exhibition is organized by Samuel West, a clinical psychologist who specializes in organizational science. He hopes it could help normalize and interpret the concept of failure, which he sees as a critical learning opportunity.

"My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative," West says. "And one of the big problems of innovation is the fear of failure." Indeed, many of the brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven't let one or two frustrated efforts stand in their way. For example, Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors, and both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are still booming. "People feel liberated when they see big well-known brands and companies that have a lot of money and skills and experience still fail when trying new things," West says. "People feel liberated, like ‘big boys' can fail, so why can't we?"

The exhibition has interactive features like a "Share Your Failure" wall, where visitors can write their own mistakes on sticky notes. West says, "We want people to take meaningful risks and learn from them. That's where the action is, when it comes to innovation: People trying something new, accepting the level of risk that comes with it and learning from it if the new thing fails. You fail but you gain insight, build on it, try a different version, tinker(修补) and come back again with something better."
