Max reached a workplace for his inaugural interview. He had previously resided with his parents. He was exasperated by his parents' reproaches for every minor action he took at home.

While awaiting the interview, he pondered, "Only if I achieve success in today's interview will I bid farewell to my parents' abode and establish myself in the sprawling metropolis, which will enable me to evade the constant barrage of my parents' complaints about trivial matters." He began to reminisce about the minor issues his parents used to berate him for — How his mother would request him to make his bed after he awoke. If he left the bathroom door ajar, his mother would demand that he close the door and, prior to that, ensure that the faucet was properly turned off. How his father would insist that he switch off the fan or light switch before he departed. How his mother would perpetually blame him for not placing items in their designated spots.

While contemplating all these matters, he questioned, "Why should I heed their utterances? Why should I comply with all these demands? If I secure employment, I shall assuredly depart from their domicile." As he glanced around, Max observed that numerous candidates were seated in the office. He noticed that the light in the office was still illuminated and it was ten o'clock in the morning. Recalling his father's admonitions, he rose and switched off the light. When he espied water dripping from the water cooler situated in the office, he proceeded to properly turn off the tap.

It was the moment to ascend to the second floor for the interview, and everyone proceeded upstairs in sequence. On the way up the staircase, a chair was positioned in the path, and the other candidates circumvented it, but Max removed it, placed it aside, and continued on to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he observed the candidates preceding him entering and exiting swiftly. After conversing with these individuals, he discovered that the interviewers had not posed any questions to them.

More than a dozen international students could not hide their excitement the hot weather, after completing a three-hour bike ride along the central axis(中轴线) of Beijing, each rushing to high-five their team leader.

At a session in India in late July, 2024, the UNESCO listed the 700-year-old Beijing Central Axis, (refer) to as the "spine of the city's culture", on the World Heritage List. The Beijing Central Axis, the best-preserved example of traditional central axis architecture in China, extending 7. 8 km from Yongding Gate in the south to the Bell and Drum Towers in the north. (true) amazed by the historic architecture along the central axis, "This journey has been so (impress)," said Callum Deighton, a student from the University of York, Britain. He was among a group of students from different countries that joined a cycling course offered by the Peking University Summer School International 2024. During one-month course in July, students had the opportunity (gain) cycling knowledge and skills, while joining cycle tours to explore the ancient beauty of Beijing.

Lu Fuquan, their team leader and instructor from Peking University, has been a cycling enthusiast for many years, is also fond of Beijing's historical and cultural heritage. He has planned six cycling routes for the course led students on a two-wheeled exploration of the ancient capital.

Recently, the course (attract) 130 international students, including those Britain, France, Canada, Australia, Japan and Singapore.

For every trustworthy website, there is tons of information that's inaccurate, unreliable or just crazy. For the inexperienced journalist or researcher, such sites can 1 a wide range of possible problems. With that in mind, here are five ways to tell if a website is 2.

● Look for Established Institutions

The internet is full of websites that were 3 five minutes ago. What you want are sites associated with 4 institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organization or universities.

● Consult Sites with Expertise (专门知识)

You wouldn't go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point: 5 websites that specialize in the kind of information you're seeking. 6, if you're writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites, such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

● 7 Commercial Sites

Sites run by companies and business—their websites usually end in. com—are often trying to sell you something. And if they're trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they're presenting will be tilted (偏向) 8 their product. That's not to say commercial sites should be 9 entirely. But be cautious.

● Check the 10

As a reporter, you need the most up-to-date information available, so if a website seems old, it's probably best to keep distance from it. One way to check: Look for a "last 11" date on the page or site.

● Check the Links

Respected 12 often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you're researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. Enter the following text into the Google search field, 13 "[WEBSITE]" with the domain (域名) of the site you're researching: link: http://www.[WEBSITE].com. For example, link: http://www.baidu.com.

The search 14 will show you which websites link to the one you're researching. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that's a good 15. Then it seems that you don't need to worry about them too much

"Compared with traditional search engines like Google, TikTok's powerful algorithm and visual presentation are what I love the most," said a20-year-old girl Dana from the Czech Republic.

Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. "All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly," said Dana.

"On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt," said Dana, adding that a written review of a restaurant can't capture its sense of atmosphere, food or drinks.

Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. "Nevertheless, when forming my personal opinion on heated topics, I prefer to use Google to gather more information from reputable media sources and organizations," she added.

Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos.

"Even if people aren't interested in, say, TikTok, I think what we are going to start to see is more visual during online searches," Sheares told ABC News.

A. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to Google.

B. Young people like to try Internet-famous restaurants.

C. TikTok's funny videos also make some kids addicted.

D. He formed a Gen Z focus group to discuss their searching habits.

E. But TikTok's personalized videos helped her out of the situation.

F. Being able to see scenes of real people also makes Dana feel trust in them.

G. Now, it has become one of the biggest search engines among young people.

"We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish'," says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.

The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.

A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.

The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.

But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn't expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction's highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It's the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.

In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917—2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke's 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.

"My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea," Liu said. "That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe."

But no matter how far away Liu's imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on "hard science". Liu's works aren't simply daydreams.

One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a "career aptitude (才能) test". There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios (场景), like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest — and don't worry — there are no right or wrong answers.

One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant's overall work personality. This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions.

The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level, but you can look at higher-level careers as well, which is very useful for high school students. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like toaim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there.

In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now!

"I've always been really loving travelling and sharing those pictures others, " said Namita. But as a yoga (瑜伽) teacher, it was (extreme)difficult for her to travel on her own money. She decided (join)in a travel race called "realize your dream".

"They asked us to show our love for travel I sent them a picture of me jumping off a waterfall in Mauritius. " she said. The (amaze) picture won her a spot and after a round of interviews, she became one of the winners entered the finals. Her prize was a 12-day dream vacation to Bolivia. "I (attract) by Bolivia's beauty at that time," she said, "All too often, I do believe seeing springs, salt flats and lakes of different colors is unforgettable experience."

This chance encouraged her to start her blog to record some of her exciting (trip). Now she is living her dream life. travelling throughout the world and teaching yoga. "Winning the travel race made me feel (confidence) about following what I love most, " she said.

However, the fact was that she'd almost always top the class examinations and everyone was confused. Some students said she was3 because she wasn't so4 in class. Although nobody could prove that she was actually cheating, they totally5 that she did.

I'm pretty socially awkward so I never really talked to her. She was leaving school this year and I was truly6 about how she was so good during exams and how she didn't let other's remarks(言论) affect her. So I7 decided to find out what was up. She told me that her friend was severely(严重地)socially anxious and she'd fallen behind in studies because she couldn't dare to ask doubts in class or ask for8 from others. So they had this system where during lectures her friend would9 any questions she had, and then the girl would10 them for her. With her help, her friend made11, though this girl suffered prejudice(偏见) for being stupid when she was actually really smart.

It was such a12 story that it really changed the way I13 people. I wouldn't be quick to jump to conclusions. It also taught me a14: standing beside our friends when they15 us isn't always an easy choice. But when you care about them, it's the only choice.

As for the damage, there are many different causes. For example, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged by people breathing onto them when they visit. That may raise the humidity (湿气) of the air and damage the paintings. Damage in other places such as the Great Wall is because of tourists climbing on delicate (脆弱的) areas. Besides, roads have also been built to help visitors climb the Wall easily. These activities can cause a lot of damage to the area.

Firstly, we have to cut down tourist numbers, because fewer visitors will result in less damage. Secondly, we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there. People will not be allowed to walk off the paths. Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks to protect the paintings.

In short, it is necessary to control tourism at famous places. And people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.

A. For example, special paths can be built.

B. What can we do to deal with these problems?

C. The Great Wall was built over 2,000 years ago.

D. However, these visitors have caused many problems.

E. Traveling is the best way for us to get to know the world.

F. If we do not do this, these places will disappear from our planet.

G. Their breath contains very small drops of water that are present in the air.

While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death.

Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases.

In some households, mosquito net s are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals.

Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.

The 23-year-old is the third person to have completed the speed climbing route — a l5-meter-tall wall with foot and hand holds — within 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddrig Leonardo. People have given Cao many nicknames, such as "fastest man in China" and "Chinese Spider-Man".

According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can differ every time due to its highly demanding and stressful nature. In this race, two climbers compete at the same time, and since it's a sport that finishes within seconds, achieving success requires perfection. Athletes must have the right balance of focus, confidence and courage to take risks.

"Keeping a level head is the key," Cao said. "Everyone wants to win. But the more you want it, the more likely you'll mess up. Being too calm and trying to avoid any mistakes won't do you any good either because that mindset takes away your advantages and your willingness to fight." Cao went on to note, "You just have to find the right balance." But this pressure, in fact, is part of the reason why Cao loves the sport.

Cao took his first step into the world of climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids starting out, he mainly focused on bouldering (抱石岩) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩), doing well in both. Unfortunately, at the age of 18, Cao bad surgery after injuring his left arm in a competition. It was after that surgery that Cao decided to give speed climbing a try because it requires different techniques from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his previously injured body parts.

It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. In his eyes, setting a national record of 4.98 seconds has already become a thing of the past. "I will continue to work hard and climb my way to the top." said Cao.

"I often check my e-mail forty times a day."

"I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net."

"I spend more time in chat rooms (聊天室) than with my ‘real-life' friends."

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction (瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug (毒品) use. People lose control (控制) of the time they spend on the Internet.

For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried. And they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.

Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyber-space than in the real world of friends and family.

Is "surfing the net" a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms (症状):

● You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.

● You can't wait for your next online time.

● You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.

● You go out with your friends less and less.

The Summer That Changed Me

I was born with a fear of water. At twelve, while classmate splashed joy fully in the pool, I sat shivering on the edge, my toes barely touching the surface. "It's like liquid darkness," I told my mother, imagining invisible hands dragging me down. My parents tried swimming lessons, but progress was painfully slow. The instructor's frustrated sighs still echoed in my memories. "Maybe water just isn't for everyone," he finally said.

Everything changed when Coach Zhang entered my life. With her silver whistle and endless patience, she approached teaching differently. "Fear is natural," he said during our first session. "But courage is a choice." We started with blowing bubbled, progressed to floating while singing nursery rhymes, and eventually played underwater treasure hunts with rubber rings, She celebrated every small victory, even when I managed to hold my breath underwater for three seconds.

The turning point came in July. Coach Zhang blindfolded me during practice. "Listen to the water's song," she instructed as darkness enveloped me. My throat tightened, but her steady voice anchored me: "Let it lift you, not fight you." Suddenly, the terrifying emptiness became a supportive embrace. That day, I swam ten meters unaided. Coach Zhang's applause sounded louder than the pool's filtration (过滤) system.

"By summer's end, I earned my Level 2 swimming certificate. The real test came during our beach graduation. As others moved slowly in the shallow water, I walked into the foamy surf. Saltwater stung my nostrils (鼻孔) as I dove through an incoming wave, emerging breathless but triumphant. My father's camera captured mother wiping happy tears. The ocean, once my nightmare, now felt like an old friend.

Now at sixteen, I volunteer at the community pool. That summer taught me more than swimming — it revealed how facing fears can reshape destinies. Coach Zhang's words stay with me: "What we conquer in water prepares us for life's storms."

The Dunhuang Mogao Caves, UNESCO World Heritage Site, stand as a precious cultural treasure in northwest China's Gobi Desert. Housing over 45, 000 square meters of ancient morals and 2, 000 painted sculptured from ten dynasties, the caves face threats natural damage and too many tourists. To solve these problems, the Dunhuang Academy started using modern digital technologies in the 1990 s. Over the recent three decades, experts working with global partners like France's CNRS and Japan's Tokyo University (create) detailed 3D models of 290 caves, covering 85 % of morals accessible for study.

The digitization process uses robotic cameras on special rails. (design) to capture millimeter-level details, these cameras take thousands of photos later joined together by computers. Each cave needs 18 months of work, involves combining over 50,000 photos with AI. Thanks to this effort, Cave 61's tans Dynasty landscape, once broken, now appears in online shows. Meanwhile, digital security systems protect intellectual property rights, enabling safe (download) of 9,409 digital files since 2020.

Color restoration posed unique challengers. Old paints, (exception) sensitive to light, are studied with special cameras to find their original colors. In 2023, the Sattva Jataka mural in Cave 254 (enhance) to its 8th-century glory using AI. "Each layer tells a story," says Dr. Li Juan, whose team spent 14 months rebuilding blue paints made from rocks.

Global teamwork remains crucial. (protect) morals from weather changes, MIT engineers created thin protective layers in 2024. The "Digital Dunhuang" website, allowing people worldwide to view the caves online, has attracted 40 million users. Exact copies of caves also help research. As Director au Bomin notes, "Digitization isn't about (replace) — it's about lasting dialogue with history."
