It was her dream, a chance Emily knew would not knock at her door again. All year long, she had imagined herself on the school dance team, performing under the bright lights. She had to catch the opportunity, but her confidence was shaky. Her best friend Lisa's words didn't help. either. "Don't worry if you can't make it." Lisa had said. "Almost everyone gets cut in the first round." It hurt her deeply, but Emily stayed quiet.

She missed a step, hit the desk, and knocked over some papers. I'm so bad at this. I can't even dance right. These thoughts filled her mind as she kept practicing. Feeling upset, she wiped her wet hands on her pants and put on her jacket. She decided to go for a walk, hoping the fresh air would clear her mind

One missed the ball completely and tumbled (翻滚) onto the grass, only to pop up instantly. "My turn again!" he shouted, as if failure meant nothing Emily slowed to watch. They weren't worried about perfect kicks - just playing, falling, trying again

A realization came to her: What if I stopped worrying about being perfect and just. danced? She hurried home, feeling excited.

Over the past decades, the Internet has done some great things. It has brought people closer together. And it can be an important place for people to find support and connection.

No surprise, Generation Z is living online more than ever. But some teenagers can come across content that is harmful. For example, one 2022 survey found that nearly half of all teens have been cyberbullied (网络欺凌) online.

Am I pretty enough? Strong enough? Smart enough? Cool enough? One study of teenagers 13 to 17 years old found that almost half reported that time spent on social media made them feel worse about their bodies. Only about one in every seven said viewing social media made them feel better.

In May 2023, the U. S. Surgeon General issued a warning about kids' social-media use. But there was plenty of evidence to warn kids that they should take care when using it.

Whitlock, a research psychologist who has been studying Internet use by teenagers since the early 2000s, asks teens she works with to put together a "menu of practices" that promote good mental health. She also suggests that if kids feel anxious, they should go back to that menu again and do something from their list-instead of looking for distractions (干扰) on their phone and social media.

A. It has helped people form big communities worldwide.

B. Two-thirds of teens have seen hateful content on social media.

C. It should include things they enjoy, like reading or outdoor time.

D. Social media is also where people are comparing themselves to others.

E. In recent years, scientists have often flagged social media as one potential cause.

F. It concluded there was still not enough evidence to say social media is safe for kids.

G. She pointed out that it's hard to study the impacts of social media on mental health.

During their fall migration, birds watch the decreasing daylight-which they understand to mean food will soon be in shorter supply-for a sign that it's time to head south. They also use the sun, stars, coastlines, and large bodies of water to guide them on their journeys across the world. However, these natural signs and resources are increasingly being impacted. Rising sea levels change coastal stopover sites, while increased ocean acidity (酸化) affects the shellfish that birds rely on for food. Moreover, extreme weather events, such as storms, can also be deadly. In addition, warmer temperatures may lead birds to shorten their migration journeys or not return to their original habitats, causing conflicts over food with local animals. As a result, some species have failed to adapt and have died out.

To help migratory birds, experts recommend expanding protected areas through international effort. The United Nations Environment Program supports these efforts and suggests creating more bird-friendly environments. This year's World Migratory Bird Day, on May 10, stresses promoting coexistence between humans and birds. The key message is to encourage the creation of healthy habitats, reduce pollution, and avoid glass buildings, which bring about a significant crash risk for birds. If migratory birds disappear, it could upset agriculture and the food web. As Rilla said, "Whatever happens to them could also happen to us."

The setting sun bathed the simple mud-walled African savanna classroom in golden afterglow. Lin Wan clutched her crumpled China return ticket, her voice soft as a breeze: "Children, I'm heading back to China next week." A hush fell — so still, she heard acacia leaves whisper outside. Amina twisted her dress hem, eyes red as ripe hibiscus. Kamal bowed his head, tracing the Chinese "ai" (love) Lin Wan taught him on his desk, jaw set tight, refusing to cry.

A faint, heavy sadness lingered afterward. The children stopped swarming with questions, moving quietly as if hiding a secret. Amina arrived early to polish Lin Wan's podium and straighten the chalk; Kamal squatted behind the classroom, scratching stone marks in the dirt, clamming up when asked. Lin Wan bought colored pencils as a gift, but Amina shook her head, tears spilling: "Teacher Lin, we don't want pencils. We want you to stay."

The afternoon before her departure, Lin Wan heard a commotion — raised voices, sniffs, and whimpers. She found the children huddled: Kamal gripped a crumpled paper, urgent: "We must show Teacher Lin our work!" Amina cried, "What if she worries we're not ready?" Spotting her, they fell silent. Amina looked up, eyes glistening: "Teacher Lin, can you come to the classroom first tomorrow? We have something for you."

Dawn still pale, Lin Wan pulled her suitcase to the classroom — door locked, a wooden plank propped against it, scrawled with lopsided Chinese: "Answer three questions to leave." Kamal peeked out, serious as an adult: "First, what does ‘persistence' mean?" Lin Wan knelt, gentle: "It means keeping going, even when it's hard."

They opened the door: desks pushed aside, a stone path lined with bright painted stones — pictures of her teaching, flying kites, braiding Amina's hair. "If you leave, will your love stay?" Amina asked. Lin Wan nodded, tears pricking her eyes: "It will grow brighter every day." Kamal held out a tattered cloth bag: "You said education ignites light, not illuminates the road. Can we be that next light?"

When I arrived in China to teach law, I didn't expect tea to become such a significant part of my journey.   

It began as simple gifts from students—Yunnan Pu'er, Zhejiang Longjing, and Henan tea sourced by a student's grandfather—soon revealed deeper meanings. In a country where many students live far from home, tea serves as a (port) bridge to their childhood, family, and heritage. It transformed me from a tourist into a respected guest.

Some of my most memorable moments were spent with a teacup in hand. In Chengdu, students rinsed (冲洗) cups and discarded the first brew, not for hygiene (卫生), but to honor ancestral (continue). In Beijing, a professor taught me that tea ceremony emphasizes mindfulness over rigid mastery. Even in a tiny porcelain studio in Quanzhou, tea became a universal language of friendship, connecting strangers through shared stories rather than commercial transactions.

Chinese teahouses, (locate) in bustling cities, offer a rare sanctuary to slow down.Had it not been for those warm tea-sharing moments, I (miss) the chance to feel the genuine kindness of the Chinese people. the West, tea is often functional, Chinese tea is relational and ceremonial. It commands reverence, much like French wine or Scotch whisky, embodying terroir, lineage, and regional identity.

Tea (journey) from an enigma to a beloved responsibility, emerged stories that span cultures and generations . Now, it is my go-to gift for loved ones back home. These leaves are no longer just souvenirs; they are tokens of a shared journey and a profound appreciation for the history, hospitality, and human connection that Chinese tea (represent).
