Every year, individuals and newspapers present jokes on the 1st of April that may be funny, yet sometimes causing an unexpected upheaval. One radio announcement made in 1949, that a mile-wide swarm of wasps (一群黄蜂) was heading for Auckland, was taken a bit too seriously. The news even came with advice on how to prepare for the incoming insects, resulting in all residents walking outdoors tucking (塞) their trousers into their socks, wearing masks (面罩) as well as setting honey traps outside their doors.

What makes things funny? This is a million-dollar question and one that's not easily answered. First, it's influenced by the context, the culture, and personal opinions, meaning that it's not consistent (一致的) across populations. Besides, if a joke is violating (违反) a norm or rule, it's more likely to be regarded as funny. Such violations need to be harmless, as they can otherwise be considered unpleasant. In terms of personal experience, serious events may be considered funnier over time, while stubbing (踩) a toe, considered a small violation, would lose its comedic effect over time. Interestingly, people, children, in particular, have been found to be more likely to laugh when they are near others compared to when alone.

Jokes may not seem serious but can actually serve social functions like managing emotions and also be used to deal with matters in work. For example, studies have found that there is a meaningful function of humour in healthcare settings, as it strengthens the connection between medical staffs and patients as well as relieves stressful situations linked to end-of-life care among nursing professionals.

However, it's suggested that jokes be used cautiously. For example, David Letterman gained reputation (名声) for an interview he had done with Lindsay Lohan in 2013, when the audience had laughed loudly at his repeated questions about her going to receive treatment. However, 8 years later, his comments were seen as offensive (冒犯的). So it's important to ensure that any violations made are not significant enough to damage your future fame.

The Asian Games is the largest sporting event in Asia. In 1948, Guru Dutt Sondhi, the leader of Indian sports, felt that the Far Eastern Games were not good enough to reflect the level of Asian sports and the unity spirit of Asian people, and suggested establishing the Asian Games so that all Asian countries could take part in.

The Hangzhou Asian Games is the third Asian multi-sport event held in China, with 12, 417 athletes from all 45 Asian countries and regions participating. Some rising sports that are popular among young people appeared at this Games, such as break dance and e-sports. Weiqi, a mind sport, have returned to the Hangzhou Games after a 13-year absence since it appeared at the Guangzhou Games in 2010. Certain regional sport in Asia, especially dragon boat racing, though not recognized as Olympic sports, also is medal-awarded event at the Asian Games.

The design details of the victory ceremony elements, like the bunch of flower, named "Fruits of Victory", combines Chinese elements such as rice ears and lotus pods, indicating harvests, and wishes the athletes a journey of accomplishment and honor. The podium (领奖台) displays a purple rainbow on its outside, reflecting energy and innovation. Its white surface shows the spirit of unity, harmony and success among Asian nations and regions.

"Technically, we have had one of the best Asian Games ever. And the coverage of the Games from TV and the written media is also among the highest ever in the history of the Asian Games. The basketball last night (Saturday) attracted almost 17 million TV viewers." said Vinod Kumar Tiwari, acting director general of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). "We have about 12, 000 athletes participating in the Games. The number of officials and the technical officials is 4, 975 and 4, 700, respectively. This by far has been the biggest and the largest Asian Games ever." Tiwari added.

When we got to one particularly long, steep hill, Holly began to twitch (抽动) her ears and step in place. So, when she proceeding to sniff (嗅) and gave all the5 that she believed the ‘horse-eating monsters' were close, I became a little worried.

At the bottom of the hill as we rounded a corner, Holly6 with caution, and so I followed her gaze to the path ahead. There,7 itself in the middle of the track, was a brown8.

Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out.

Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise.

You might be eager to just stop your workout when you've finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance.

Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It's one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you're making progress regularly.

The origin of otaku dance can be traced back to Japanese pop culture. It combines elements of anime, manga, and J-pop music, with dancers imitating the movements and styles of anime characters or creating their own unique choreography inspired by Japanese pop culture. These dances are usually characterized by their energetic and lively movements, as well as their colorful and sometimes exaggerated costumes, which are designed to attract attention and express the individuality of the dancers

One of the man reasons for the popularity of otaku dance is the rise of the internet and social media. Online platforms such as Bilibili, TikTok, and You Tube have provided a convenient and accessible space for otaku dancers to showcase their works and connect with like-minded people. Through these platforms, dancers can gain a large number of fans and followers, and their videos can be easily shared and spread which further promotes the popularity of otaku dance.

Moreover, otaku dance offers a way for young people to express themselves and release their creativity. In a society where individuality is highly valued, otaku dance allows dancers to break free from traditional dance forms and create their own unique styles. It also provides a sense of community and belonging, as dancers can interact with each other, exchange ideas, and learn from one another.

However, otaku dance also faces some challenges and controversies. Some people may view it as a form of "otaku" culture that is too niche or even "weird" and may not understand or appreciate its value. Additionally, there may be concerns about the potential negative impacts of excessive focus on online popularity and the pursuit of likes and views, which could lead to a lack of authenticity and depth in the dance itself.

Despite these challenges, otaku dance continues to thrive and evolve. With the continuous development of technology and the increasing acceptance of diverse cultures, it is likely to gain even more popularity and recognition in the future, attracting more and more young people to join in and explore this unique form of dance.

In the 1990s, China and the US started cooperative research on giant panda protection in the wild, including breeding, and disease control and treatment. The countries have jointly bred 17 baby cubs since then.

Lin Jian, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a recent news conference that the giant panda is not only a national treasure, but loved by people around the world. and the giant panda is an envoy (使者) and bridge for friendship.

He said China and the US have tackled many technical problems on giant panda conservation and breeding, and have promoted technology exchanges and enhanced protection of endangered animals and plants, which has boosted friendship and communication between the countries.

Li Desheng, deputy director of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, said that international cooperation on giant pandas and loaning them overseas can let people around the world better understand the species. He said the giant panda is native to China, and the country is willing to share protection and research experiences with the world and see good results from cooperative research.

"We've worked out some problems including pandas' pregnancy and baby cub breeding. but we still have some other difficult illnesses or diseases yet to be tackled," Li Desheng said. He said that China has cooperated with 20 countries and regions on giant panda conservation and research since the 1990s, including Spain, Finland, Japan and the United States.

A thorough evaluation of the giant panda's living environment, breeding ability and animal medical services is performed before choosing a country to cooperate with on research and sending a giant panda there, Li Desheng added.

I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me. But feeling embarrassed for having a "smelly" lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry.

Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn't trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I'd insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn't grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food Idevoured at home.

I didn't know that I wasn't alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter (遭遇) what's known as "the lunchbox moment" at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider.

For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me: They dealt with "the lunchbox moment" differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom's Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like "throw up". The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it. From then on, she says, "My teacher at school made a rule: Don't yuck someone's yum."

Looking back, I wish I'd had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I'm hungry, guess what? I miss my mom's bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that's something to celebrate, not hide.

Aaron Judge

New York Yankees, outfielder

Aaron Judge's power has made him one of the top promising young players in the majors. He still needs to cut down on his strikeouts (三击未中出局), but the Yankees think he is worth the wait.

"He obviously struggled with the strikeouts," says Brian Cashman, Yankees general manager. "Part of the process was to get him up here and get the growing pains out of the way and speed up the adjustment process."

Dansby Swanson

Atlanta Braves. shortstop

When you watch Dansby Swanson play, it's easy to forget the 22-year-old stated last season in the minor leagues. His performance was so good that he was chosen for the 2020 All-Star Futures Game, a showcase of the best minor-league players. Last August, the Braves called him up to the major. Speed and flexibility was what the team wanted. And that's exactly what Swanson provided as he finished out this season playing like a high-level player.

Alex Bregman

Houston Astros, third baseman

Imagine playing one position in the minor leagues and then finally getting called up to the majors, only to be told you'll be in a position you've rarely played. That's exactly what happened to Alex Bregman when he switched from shortstop to third base last season.

Astrons manager A. J. Hinch says Bregman's competitive spirit and unselfishness made the position switch easy for this young man.

Julio Urias

Los Angler Dodgers, pitcher (投手)

When 20-yearold Julio Urias started Came 4 of the National League Championship Series last full against the Chicago Cubs, he was the youngest pitcher to start a playoff (季后赛) game in Major League Baseball (MLB) history.

"His biggest improvement has been fastball command," says Gabe Kapler, director of player development for the Dodgers. "He in very clever and understands what he has to do to be successful."

Apollo was born in Burkina Faso, a country in Africa. It actually means "The Land of Honest People". He has always valued the virtue of honesty and he brought it with him when he opened a restaurant in the United Kingdom three years ago. He believes that there are honest people everywhere.

On a regular weekend, customers were pouring in by the thousands, and service was going smoothly. Midway through that busy weekend, three guys entered through the restaurant's door, evidently looking for seats and some food. It's possible that they arrived from out of town. There was a difference in their accents at the very least.

"Can we be served quickly? We have to catch the train." said one of them to a waiter.

It didn't take long for them to be served by the waiter. They enjoyed every bite. After the quick but delightful meal, the three friends were ready to pay the bill for their food. The entire cost of the food was £35. As the waiter approached their table, they gave their credit cards over. They were caught by surprise, however, when the waiter told them they could only pay in cash. After that, the waiter moved to another table to take orders.

When the waiter came back to collect their cash payment again, he found the three guys had gone missing without paying for their food. As a result, the waiter had no choice but to call Apollo, who was on holiday with his family.

When the waiter described what had happened, Apollo was extremely confused. He couldn't understand how, in today's world, a group of friends could walk into a restaurant, eat their meals, and then leave without paying. After a few days, there was still no sign that the three gentlemen would return to pay for their meal. Two weeks later, Apollo received an unexpected package. Obviously, it was sent by the three men.
