Pappula, 13, said she discovered that a classmate had experienced cyberbullying（网络霸凌）, which was painful for her to learn about. "Even though I didn't experience it, I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even my worst enemy," Pappula said.

Then she developed a program that recognizes when digital and text-based messages include bullying language. The program takes a message, and then recognizes signs of bullying and gives a rating to the cyberbullying, the teen said. If the rating is high, she said, "the program can be used to carry out things like removing that message or reporting it."

Pappula first designed and tested the program for Discord, a popular community-based messaging platform (平台), and said she plans to develop it for even bigger platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

In addition to this program, the NBPC awarded Pappula for a three-minute animated video about Unity Day, which she created and shared on YouTube last October. Unity Day, according to the video, was started by the NBPC in 2011 to raise bullying awareness among school-age children. Schools encourage their students to wear orange on Unity Day, as it is "a color that is connected with safety," the website reads.

Pappula visited different websites to develop her animation skills several years ago. She spent more than a month creating her 2-D animated video using an animation software called Krita. The effort paid off, as nearly 6,000 people have already viewed the "Unity Day" video on YouTube. Along with being posted to the NBPC webpage, her animation was also shared by Cartoon Network. Moving forward, Pappula hopes to continue to work with the NBPC and to use her skills to lift those around her.

There was a woman who worked as a maid during the day and came home at night to live alone with her four-year-old son. When the master learned of the maid's condition, he made a room for her and the child, and said, "Bring your child to my house. You both eat and sleep for free." But the maid refused the offer.

One day, the master wanted to treat the house. The master asked the maid, "Could you come home late today, I'm short of hands here."

The maid replied, "Okay, it's just that my son won't see me at night and he'll be scared."

"That's easy," said the master. "You fetch him now, and have dinner with my guests."

The maid picked him up and hid him in a washroom. She took a plate and took out from her pocket the sausage and bread she' d bought on the way home. Then the maid told the son, "This is a private room specially prepared for you by the host of the party."

The child was so short that he had to put the dish on the toilet lid(马桶盖). He sat on the beautiful tile floor, singing and eating the delicious food that was usually difficult to eat. Soon, the master found no sign of the child and went to ask the maid. The maid mumbled and said, "I've been too busy to look after him. Maybe, he's out on the lawn playing by himself."

The master seemed to understand something. He searched all the rooms of the house, and finally found the child. The master asked, "How can you eat here? Do you know where this is?"

The boy told the master what his mother had said to him, and asked him if he would like to eat the delicious food here with him. The master nodded, choking back tears, and faced the child with his brightest smile. Now he remembered the experience of coming to New York with his parents. They were also very poor at that time, and they went through very hard times. Then he went back to the hall to bring the child his favorite dish.

One day, I was at the dry cleaners3 my clothes. I was standing at the counter with my cane to pay,4 leaving a lot of dry cleaning behind, as I couldn't carry that much with one hand.

I went out to my truck, opened the door and started putting my6 in the back seat.

In fact, digital detox isn't a new concept. Brown University defines it as a set period during which people avoid using electronic devices. Due to growing interest in taking a break from technology while on vacation, tour operators are now offering digital detox trips, where travelers choose an Internet-free environment.When such a trip begins, travelers lock their devices in a storage box and only get them back at the end.

Travelers who have joined digital detox trips confirm the various benefits of going phone-free. Without that distraction, the experience feels so much richer because they're just immersed in (沉浸于) it, However, tech-free travel hasn't yet become popular, as many people are still concerned about shutting off their devices completely.

That concern makes sense. In an age when life and technology are more connected than ever, a full digital detox may not be realistic for most people. "Technology is very much a part of us now. We bank with an app, read restaurant menus on phones and even sweat with exercise instructors through a screen," consultant Emily Cherkin told the BBC. While a digital detox is meant to reduce stress, shutting down devices may actually cause more anxiety.

Rather than avoiding phones altogether, experts suggest a more realistic way to address Internet addiction. For those who can't completely step away from screens, using screen-time tracking apps may help encourage more mindful phone habits. Ultimately, our focus should be on improving our long-term relationship with technology rather than depending on the digital detox industry as a short-term solution,lifestyle magazine Dazed commented.

So I approached the attendant, a middle-aged woman, and asked her for directions. The woman told me to pass through the gate, take the elevator down and turn to the right, where I would find my train. I gave my son one hug, and a second hug. She was standing next to me at her booth, so she kinda saw that it was a special moment for me.

I went down the elevator to wait for my train. Then, all of a sudden, I saw my son. And I asked, "What are you doing here?"

"The attendant told me I should come down and give you an extra hug goodbye," my son replied and gave me another hug. Then I went on my way to the airport.

In recent years, I has struggled with the loss of loved ones. My wife died six years ago, and shortly after,one of my sons died. I now live alone in Oklahoma, far from my children and grandchildren. My son, Tim, lives in Wisconsin. So that hug was a special hug — not just from my son, but also it represented the thoughtfulness, kindness and care that this woman had for someone passing through the station.

What also stood out to me was that it all began with the act of noticing — how the woman perceived the importance of a small moment at the station. Not only did she realize and understand this, but she acted compassionately and supported my life.
