Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and night markets, two seemingly unrelated things, have recently become unique combination loved by young Chinese. Instead of occurring in hospitals and clinics during the day, services like check-ups, acupuncture, and dietary advice (offer) by TCM doctors in the bustling atmosphere of night markets have attracted a significant number of young people.

Cities across China, including Beijing and Guangzhou, are working hospitals to set up free TCM stalls (摊档) at night markets. Young workers, who often cannot visit hospitals in the daytime because of busy jobs, find this new idea (attract).

Yao Shuai, a heart doctor, says this trend shows cultural revival (复兴). "TCM at night markets (meet) young people's health needs while also supporting their sense of cultural pride," he told Global Times. The relaxed environment and friendly talks with doctors make the experience (great), leading to more interest.

Beyond treatments, visitors can learn about TCM culture by trying herbal teas or buying small scented sachets (香包). night markets once mainly (sell) local snacks and handmade items, the addition of TCM brings cultural meaning. This matches China's growing night economy, creates jobs and helps local shops.

Professor Zhang Yiwu praises the trend, "TCM at night markets shows it stays useful in modern life while keeping its traditions." From Baduanjin exercises to herbal treatments, TCM's growing (popular) among young people is giving new energy to ancient practices.

One afternoon when she was cleaning her bedroom closet, inside a box of files she3 an old handout titled "Mrs. Clark's Book List." Steph4 it was given by Mrs. Clark, her English teacher, who said to the class, "Even though some of you might not go on to higher education, you can5 to learn."

And so it6. Starting at the top, she would read every book in the order they appeared. Each sparked (点燃) her passion to learn7. That made her seek other books that8 weren't on the list. When she9 went to college, she said that she'd be further along than the other freshmen.

10 many people who crack open a book in bed before sleep, Steph11 to read while sitting in a chair with a cup of coffee. "The books are like a lighthouse,12 me through complex worlds of race, history and politics," she says. "I'm no expert, but I now have the13 to see why things happened and what it might mean."

Thanks to a simple classroom14, at least one young woman who couldn't afford college has15 her life by reading the works on the list.

But not everyone can do that. Using this question, research revealed aphantasia — an inability to form mental images — affecting 2-5% of the population. While most people use mental imagery to help them remember, aphantasiacs have to use other techniques.

Be observant about sounds, textures, tastes, and particularly smells. Practice bringing these to mind, and use them whenever you can to connect with your memories.

Another powerful method involves connecting memories to emotional experiences. How did you feel when you visited the place, watched the film, or read the book that you're trying to recall?

Think logically. For instance, by analyzing a series of events, you might determine when something occurred. Similarly, retracing your steps and piecing through your day can help you figure out where you lost a possession.

Additionally, try to create muscle memory. If you've done something many times, it may be easier to stop trying to remember it, and just let it happen.

These are strategies that many people with aphantasia rely on, instead of image clues, and we can all learn something from them.

A. Start by observing everything around you.

B. These are the ways we can all learn and recall information.

C. One effective approach is to actively engage senses beyond vision.

D. To improve memory, focus on physical exercise as well as mental effort.

E. Feelings help to store long-term memories, so use them to boost recall, too.

F. Even without visual clues, you can also use reasoning to unlock the mysteries of your past.

G. If you can't recall a password, for example, check whether your fingers can just type it automatically.

Tech companies have long viewed copyright as a barrier. A few years ago, the Intellectual Property Office suggested an exception for data mining, claiming it would draw tech investment. Though the proposal was not adopted, the idea stays. The current government's consultation on Al and copyright is too favorable to big tech.

Existing law clearly safeguards the rights of original works, from art to journalism, against unauthorized copying. The principle that original material cannot be ripped off and that creative people have rights over their work is widely understood and accepted. However, big tech often bypasses these rules, much like how US social media giants built their empires on content created by others. Creative individuals and smaller businesses are struggling to keep pace, most in danger of being left behind.

While the promise of technological advancement is hard to resist, the UK must weigh its options carefully. Artists such as Elton McCartney and Paul Clemence have been vocal in their defense of human creativity, and the House of Lords has taken steps to ensure that licenses for copyrighted material are actively sought. Ministers, dazzled (眩晕) by the prospect of new data centers and a seat at the AI table, should pause to reconsider their priorities. After all, big tech should not be given more rights over others' work than the rest of society.

The idea for this research emerged from a conversation Jamil Eberhardt had with a producer of the documentary film Just Mercy. The producer posted a question: could watching the film change the way neurons (神经元) fired in people's brains? Then Eberhardt connected her co-worker, Jennifer Kray to explore it.

The researchers asked participants before and after they watched the film to also watch a set of short videos of men imprisoned in real life. Participants were asked to rate what they thought these men were feeling as they shared their life stories. These ratings were then measured against what the men actually told the researchers they felt when recalling their experiences.

The results show that participants were more empathetic toward those who were formerly imprisoned than those in the control condition. Also, they were 7.66% more likely to sign a proposal supporting a law to restore voting rights to people with a criminal record.

The study highlights the power of storytelling, Eberhardt said. "Narratives move people in ways that numbers don't." In an early study, Eberhardt found that citing statistics on racial inequalities is not enough to encourage a closer examination of systems. Actually, presenting numbers alone can possibly backfire, making people more likely to support punishment policies.

As Eberhardt and Kray's study has shown, what does change people's minds are stories — a finding consistent with a previous study Kray conducted that found how watching a live theater performance can impact how people perceive social and cultural issues. "When people experience detailed personal narratives it opens their mind and heart to the people telling those narratives and to the groups from which those people come from," Kray said.

Take, for example, lots of firms use abstract terms like "change," "innovate," and "connect" in their mission statements. In the book, Mr. Galinsky refers to an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour. Teams who were handed a statement with more visual language — to create toys that "…make wide-eyed kids laugh and proud parents smile" — produced more engaging toys than teams who were given something more general.

Galinsky also highlights the power of counterfactual thinking to inspire a sense of meaning. In a study he conducted with Laura Zaki of the University of California, Berkeley, participants reflected on important life events, like choosing a college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not taken place. This group attached greater meaning to the event in question. This technique can also strengthen employees' ties to firms by having them imagine a world without their firm.

Perhaps the most striking idea in the book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. In a study he conducted with other co-authors, some newly-registered Swiss citizens were asked to undertake a 10-to-15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not.

Managers play a huge role in motivating their people. But inspiration can be bottom-up as well as top-down. Don't just tell your team what Jobs said. Ask why their jobs matter to them.
