Beyond Jamon Iberico, droughts affect the taste of fruits like watermelons and cantaloupes by causing compounds such as sugars to build up. As a result, Japanese apples becoming less acidic and softer due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth.

In turn, the food production process, particularly meat and dairy, significantly contributes to climate change, accounting for about 14.5 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions annually. Producing animal protein requires more land, energy, and water than plant protein.

Given the significant impact of food production on climate change, it is crucial to find sustainable solutions. The Good Food Institute promotes alternative proteins that are as tasty and affordable as meat. Regenerative farming, which allows cows to move freely and reduces chemical use, is more environmentally friendly. By adopting these sustainable practices, we can lessen the impact of climate change on food and the environment.

A. This equals transport's total emissions.

B. This shows environment affects food quality.

C. Global warming also disrupts fruit flavor balance.

D. Climate change increases the nutritional value of Jamon Iberico.

E. Sustainability can break the cycle between climate change and food.

F. Producing plant protein requires more resources than animal protein.

G. Additionally, buying local, in-season produce reduces carbon footprint.

That's where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Boyes, computer scientists at Akvelon, a software engineering company based in Bellevue, Washington, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to "give cat owners the best tools available" for interpreting their pet's needs.

When Boyes and Dreizin were looking for data to inform their new app, they came across 2019 research that revealed cat meows contain certain shared characteristics. The study authors then built a computer program to analyze audio recordings of 21 adult cats meowing.

The MeowTalk founders used these audio recordings of tens of thousands of meows to develop their computer models, which is fueled by artificial intelligence. And it worked. 2021 study found MeowTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.

The free app records your feline's meows and translates them into a small range of phrases, such as "I'm annoyed." and "Feed me!" Users can rate the accuracy of MeowTalk's translations, which further improves the computer model. Launched in November 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates that the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. "We're the largest depositors of meows in this galaxy," he quips.

The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need; for instance, a cat can learn to press a button that says the word "play".

Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn't convinced of these products' accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. "If people play with the app, maybe they will become more attentive to their cats," says de Mouzon, of Paris Nanterre University.

Researchers find that people tend to read faster on screens. That's fine for checking texts and social media posts. But when screens are small, the extra scrolling needed to read a long article or book may make it harder to retain what you're reading, data now show.

That doesn't just depend on the device, however. It also depends on what you assume about the text. Naomi Baron calls this your mindset. She says one way mindset works is in anticipating how easy or hard we expect the reading to be. If we think it will be easy, we might not put in much effort.

Much of what we read on screens tends to be text messages and social media posts, which are usually easy to understand. So, "when people read on screens, they read faster," says Alexander at the University of Maryland. "Their eyes scan the pages and the words faster than if they're reading on a piece of paper." But when reading fast, we may not absorb all the ideas as well.

However, all experts agree on one thing: There's no going back. Digital reading is here to stay. So it pays to make the most of it. It's a good idea to do a little preparation. Baron compares reading to sports or to playing music. "Watch a pianist or an athlete. Before they run the race or play the concert, they get themselves in the zone," she says. "It's the same thing for reading. Before you read something you really want to focus on, get in the zone. Think about what you'll be reading, and what you want to get from it."

"Reentry" by Eric Berger, the senior space editor at Ars Technica, describes how this was achieved. The ingredients which produced the Falcon 9 were excellent engineers, a new form of government support for spaceflight, a hard-driving culture and an extraordinarily demanding boss.

The book starts with a story in 2008. SpaceX's first rocket, the Falcon 1, was small, troublesome and uncommercial. By the time it finally reached orbit — on the fourth attempt — SpaceX had burned through almost all the money that Elon Musk, the company's founder, had available. For the company to have a future, it needed some big government contracts, and that required a much larger launcher: the Falcon 9, which required nine of the Merlin engines that powered the Falcon 1 to be joined together.

That challenge fell to Tom Mueller, SpaceX's first employee, who had developed the Merlin engine in the first place. His team's efforts led to the arguably company-saving first test firing of the Falcon 9's first stage in November 2008. "We were out there beating history, but Elon was still pissed at us," Mr Mueller said. "Like everything else we've ever done, it was way slower than Elon wanted."

Mr Berger's book is full of stories of impressive achievements being met in such ways. It also shows clearly why people put up with such things. Mr Musk's employees knew that he really cared about making better rockets, and that he was taking big financial risks. But they came to value his insistence on the overall goal of making a rocket that was largely reusable.

"Why are you wearing your red dress?" asked Sherry, my classmate in sixth grade. The look on my face must have indicated that I didn't understand the question. She asked again, "Your red dress... Why are you wearing it? Today is a blue-dress day."

I rarely noticed what other people wore, so it never occurred to me that anyone would notice I had only two school dresses: a red dress with little yellow flowers and a blue one with navy trim around the neck. The red dress was my favorite, so I wore it on Mondays and Tuesdays. I put on the blue one on Wednesdays and Thursdays, then back to red each Friday.

"Oh," I stammered (结结巴巴地说). "I, uh, dropped chili (辣椒) on it yesterday at lunch. I, uh, can't wear it until Mama washes it."

There was no judgment in Sherry's question, just curiosity. For the first time in my life, though, I wondered, "Am l poor? Do my friends feel sorry for me?"

Until the day when Sherry asked about my red dress, I had never compared my clothes, my little white house, or my life with anyone else's.

After school, I hung my red dress in the closet I shared with my older sister, Debra. I put on play clothes and went outside to sulk (生闷气). I climbed to the lowest branch of a scrawny oak and stared at my house.

My mother called through the screen door for me to come set the table. I climbed down from my tree and shuffled into the kitchen. Mama was mashing potatoes in a big, green bowl.

I opened a cabinet door and reached for five dinner plates. "Mama, are we poor?" I asked.

I thought my question might make her feel bad. Instead, she asked, "What do you mean by' poor'?"

"You know, not enough money. Not enough food or clothes. No place to live."

The Students' Union

In his article penned in 1934, painter Feng Zikai (1898-1975) recalled his childhood enlightenment (启蒙) as he learned about painting. When he studied Chinese poetry and the Three Character Classic, 13th-century text for children on Confucian philosophy, he found (he), instead of being attracted by the text, seized by the illustrations. These images (attract) him so much that he began coloring them (use) pigment (颜料) from his family's dyehouse.

"The children new school enjoy coloring illustrations in textbooks," says Li Hongbo, an art professor at Jilin Normal University. "They may have limited understanding of colors, they often take pride in their' creations' and find (end) pleasure from such activities."

Feng's story is shown in the ongoing Mirror to the Future: Chinese Basic Art Education Literature Exhibition, highlights the development of the country's fundamental fine arts education since 1904, at The First Historical Archives (档案) of China in Beijing.

(organize) by the archives and Beijing Normal University, the exhibition follows the 120-year history of the development of basic fine arts education in China, through 1,359items, including files, textbooks and teaching aids.

This exhibition shows the rich value of fine arts education in enhancing the ability (appreciate) beauty, nurture the soul, and stimulate innovative vitality. It also enables the rich archival resources containing historical, cultural and aesthetic value to integrate into the field of education, giving full play to their roles of preserving history and educating people.

The next day was a blur (模糊的记忆)of booking airline tickets and3 her bags. Soon she found herself on the4, alone for the first time since she got the news. She found it was impossible for her to sit still. She couldn't stop5 because the strength of the emotions was so intense.

She was surrounded by other6 . But sitting there in the aisle (过道)seat, Rogers felt7. Then, partway through the flight, a man crouched (蹲)in the aisle next to her seat. He made direct eye8 with her and began to speak9 and slowly.

"I know you don't know me, and I don't know what's10 for you. But I want you to know that if you need anything, I'm here," said the man.

After11 the man, Rogers watched him go back to his seat. They didn't12 again, but his reaching out to her made the rest of the flight a little more13.

"Being on a plane with someone who can14 me and know what I need, even if he doesn't know me, is an incredible15. I will always be grateful to him," Rogers said.

There is no greater time than now to start living your dreams. But how do you do it? All you have to do is visualize your success and take baby steps with individual goals.

Be specific about your dream

Think of it this way: If you don't know what you really want, how can you achieve it?. What do you need to accomplish them? How can you make progress each day? For example, let's say you want to be an accomplished writer. Take some time to think about what type of writer you want to be—what do you really want. If you want to write a book, that might involve writing a chapter each day.

Create a plan of action

. When do you want to accomplish this goal? What steps do you need to take to get there? Write down every step of your plan, or make a to-do list to help yourself stay on track.

As you start on the path to making your dreams come true, it's important to have a sense of what you are accomplishing. Even if you're not moving as quickly as you'd like, you're still moving forward and making progress.

Visualize your success

Close your eyes and picture what your life will be like when your dream comes true.. This can help you feel motivated when you're stuck or feeling down.

Believe in yourself

Being confident and self-assured is a great way to stay on track. When you believe in yourself, it can be easier to keep moving forward, even when things get tough..

A. Turn your dream into a desire

B. Review your progress regularly

C. If you believe you can do it, there's nothing that can stop you

D. Imagine the excitement and joy you'll experience when your dream becomes a reality

E. View your dreams as goals and desires so they're easier to break down and accomplish

F. The time away from your goal or dream can actually make you more eager to accomplish it

G. It is suggested that you write your dreams down in a notebook like they were attainable goals

The goal of carbon sequestration is to take carbon dioxide, either from where it is being produced or from the atmosphere, change it into a stable form and store it away from the atmosphere where it cannot contribute to climate change. Proposed schemes have involved, for example, injecting carbon underground or storing it in the deep ocean. These approaches pose both practical challenges and environmental risks.

What if, instead, we can leverage materials that we already produce in large quantities to store carbon?" said Van Roijen, who led the study as a graduate student at UC Davis.

Researchers found that while bio-based plastics could take up the largest amount of carbon by weight, by far the largest potential for carbon storage is in using carbonated aggregates (碳化骨料) to make concrete. That's because concrete is by far the world's most popular building material: Over 20 billion tons are produced every year.

"If feasible, a little bit of storage in concrete could go a long way," said Sabbie Miller, associate professor at UC Davis. The team calculated that if 10% of the world's concrete aggregate production was carbonatable, it could absorb a gigaton (十亿吨) of CO₂.

"The feedstocks for these new processes for making building materials are mostly low-value waste materials such as biomass," Van Roijen said. "Performing these new processes would enhance their value, boosting economic development and promoting a circular economy."

"Some technology development is needed, particularly in cases where material performance and net-storage potential of individual manufacturing methods must be confirmed. However, many of these technologies are just waiting to be adopted," Sabbie Miller said.

In a landmark study published in The Lancet Regional Health—Europe,1,227 students from 30 schools across England provided data about smartphone and social media usage and a range of mental health, well-being and other outcomes. Among the schools that took part in the study,20 had various forms of restrictive phone policies in place.

The study found that there was no difference in outcomes for students who attend schools that ban smartphones throughout the school day, including mental health, well-being, and other health and educational outcomes.

Smartphone bans in schools did lead to a slight decrease in students using phones (approximately 40 minutes) and social media (approximately 30 minutes) in school, but the study suggests that the impact is small and that school policies banning recreational phone use didn't lead to a meaningful reduction in the overall time spent using phones and social media.

"We did find a link between more time spent on phones and social media and worse outcomes, with worse mental well-being and mental health outcomes, less physical activity and poorer sleep, lower educational attainment and a greater level of disruptive classroom behaviour," said Dr Victoria Goodyear, associate professor at the University of Birmingham and lead author of the study.

"This suggests that reducing this time spent on phones is an important focus. But we need to do more than focus on schools alone, and consider phone use within and outside of school, across a whole day and the whole week."

Professor Miranda Pallan from the University of Birmingham said, "Our study suggests that school policies are not the silver bullet for preventing the detrimental impacts of smartphone and social media use, but that addressing overall phone use should be a priority for improving health and well-being among adolescents."

India's tiger conservation strategy combines two approaches: some areas are strictly protected reserves, while others are multi-use landscapes where tigers and people share space. And this isn't just for the benefit of the tigers.

"The advantage of combining these two methods is that reserves act as a source of tigers for surrounding areas. And if coexistence no longer works, the reserves provide a fallback (应变的) option — ensuring that tigers are not at risk of extinction," explains Ninad Mungi, assistant professor at Aarhus University and co-author of the study.

According to researchers, human population density alone is not what determines whether tigers can thrive — it's people's lifestyles, economic conditions, and cultural attitudes that shape their willingness to share space with large predators.

In relatively prosperous regions where ecotourism and government compensation schemes (补偿计划) generate income, tolerance for tigers is much higher. In fact, for some Indian farmers, losing cattle to a tiger does not essentially spell disaster. Farmers who keep their livestock in barns and enclosures are rarely affected by tigers. However, when cattle are released to graze in tiger-inhabited areas, and if a tiger eats it, the farmer receives financial compensation from the government — turning a loss into a gain.

India's model could provide valuable insights far beyond its borders. In Europe, many countries are struggling with wolves attacking livestock, and India's experience may inspire new approaches that protect both wildlife and farmers' livelihoods.

"There are, of course, cultural challenges, but culture can change over time. India's experience proves that large predators can survive in a modern world — if we are willing to think creatively and find a balance between protection and coexistence," says Ninad.

Mrs Arlene usually woke up early on weekends to tidy up the house and make breakfast for her son, Allen. But the house was unusually quiet today. The worried boy rolled down the bed and went to knock on her door.

"Mom, are you all right?" Allen asked anxiously.

"Sweetheart," Mom replied weakly. "I'm afraid I've got a bad cold. Could you make breakfast for yourself and watch cartoons while I stay in bed?"

"Take it easy, Mom," Allen said. "I'm a big boy now. I can take care of myself!"

Allen went to the kitchen and found the instant noodles. He put them in two bowls and poured enough boiling water over them. After about two minutes, he returned to Mom's bedroom with the noodles.

Mom tried the noodles and said cheerfully. "It is so delicious! My boy is a better cook than me!"

Encouraged by Mom's words, Allen decided to give Mom a bigger surprise: to do the laundry. When Allen was a little boy, he had enjoyed watching Mom do laundry. But he had never been allowed to do it, since Mom was worried that he might mess things up.

Allen went to the bathroom to get the laundry basket, in which his mother's favorite white night gown (睡衣) was mixed with other clothes and a pair of red socks. He put all of them inside the washing machine. Before he closed the door and pressed the big button"START"， he put in some washing powder.

"It is so easy," Allen said with pride after the machine started to spin.

Allen was watching cartoons when he heard the washing machine send out an alarm, indicating that the laundry was finished. He opened the door and took out the clothes one by one. Each of them looked clean. But when he pulled out a pink dress, he immediately realized that he had messed things up: The white gown had been turned into a pink one by the socks!

back in my seat, I'm so excited that I'm about to travel along the railway that was called "impossible" by many foreign experts. The train runs fast and across the "roof of the world".

It took years to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which is a record of all Chinese people's efforts to the most difficult challenges. The first to catch my eye is the Qingshuihe Bridge. To damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges were built between Golmud and Lhasa. at over 5,000 metres above sea level, Tanggula Station is the highest railway station in the world. Several oxygen-making stations were to make people stay healthy. As we pass Cuona Lake, a sense of pride and wells up in my heart.Along the lake we built a twenty-kilometre wall to the lake from construction waste.

I'm proud that we built our "impossible" railway. It truly is an "Sky Railway".

When you come across such sudden callers, you are 4 to sense it as an action of intruding (入侵) into your comfort zone, or you might 5 it as a lovely shining moment of life. We6 — the second option, with no hesitation. After all, we've never stopped feeling urgent to strengthen the relationship with our sparrows more and more each day.

We can't stop 7 and celebrating their dance from our window. We fed them with the 8 on our tablecloth after every meal. And we have 9 them with every kind of bases and stands on our terrace (露台).

10, they feel at ease in our backyard. And that has led them to11 courage to slip into our house. Perhaps because they have the feeling that we don't consider them 12, but friendly neighbors, who only leave some wastes from time to time.

The presence of our dear sparrow holds magical consistency with real life. And we've been having lovely sparrows coming over lately, whose presence draws us out of our dull daily routines and13 the hidden beauty and charm.

Like different human beings, these sparrows often take different forms. We've met sparrows like those, of all shapes and colors. And they're everywhere. Perhaps all of them are willing to draw our14  making us know they are there. They only ask from us not to be afraid of them or feel uneasy to their15.
