The Quanzhou puppet show (木偶戏), also (know) as the string puppet show, started in the Qin and Han dynasties and (bring) to Fujian by immigrants (移民) during the Jin and Tang dynasties. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was already popular in Quanzhou.

For thousands of years, the Quanzhou puppet show has been an important part of the folk culture Quanzhou and the Minnan region, in its unique skills and performances have been enjoyed by both common people and scholars.

Over a thousand years, the Quanzhou puppet show has kept more than 700 traditional plays and special musical style called puppet tunes, with over 300 melodies and old (instrument) like the yajiao drum and zhengluo. It has developed (detail) string control skills and beautiful puppet head carving craftsmanship.

The traditional plays of the Quanzhou puppet show include ancient Quanzhou's customs, beliefs, and celebrations. It preserves words pronunciations of the ancient Heluo language and Minnan dialect (方言). This makes it valuable for studying Minnan culture, dialect, and southern opera, (attract) scholars worldwide.

Due to special connections between Quanzhou, Chinese Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, the Quanzhou puppet show spread to Chinese Taiwan and Southeast Asian Chinese communities in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It plays a (particular) important role in spreading Minnan culture, connecting people across the Taiwan Strait and overseas Chinese, and enhancing cultural identity.

During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument's attractive sound. "It's like the voice of ancient China," he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu's strings. Inspired by each other's music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.

As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune "Jasmine Flower." The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece "Silk Road Echoes" received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu's sad tones danced with the violin's vigorous (有活力的) melodies.

What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly "global jam sessions." Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, "Music has no borders; it's a language that turns differences into harmonies." When traditions meet with open hearts, they don't conflict; they compose something entirely new.

SongKran — Thailand

Dates: 13th — 15th, April

In Thailand, people celebrate a festival called Songkran, when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray (喷洒) everyone who walks past. It's a very important traditional celebration in the country.

Naghol — Vanuatu

Dates: Every Saturday from April to May

Every year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams (甘薯), an important part in the people's diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its "land diving ceremony". During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines (藤) tied to their feet.

Cherry Blossom Viewing — Japan

Dates: The cherry blossom season varies from year to year depending on the weather.

The festival is well-known. The Japanese celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom (开花). Only a few days later, the petals (花瓣) fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes, which means the traditional festival only lasts for several days. In Japan, almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers.

Sinhalese New Year — Sri Lanka

Dates: 13th or 14^th, April

Just like in many other countries in South East Asia, this is the time when people celebrate the traditional New Year, an ancient celebration which marks the end of the harvest season and is one of two times of the year when the sun is straight above Sri Lanka. There are a lot of delicious foods during the celebration.

The recycling bin incident had been simmering (酝酿) for weeks. Every Tuesday morning, my neighbor Ms. Garcia would throw glass bottles into her bin with a loud crash, startling me awake at 6:30 a.m. The sound pierced the peaceful silence of the early morning, ruining what could have been a restful start to the day. I'd lie in bed, fists clenched, counting the clangs (哐哐声) as it echoed through the quiet neighborhood.

I decided I couldn't stay silent any longer. When Ms. Garcia repeated her noisy routine last week, my anger exploded. I stormed over. She was fishing soda cans from her faded blue bin, sorting through those bottles which would be later sold to the recycling plant for cash. "Do you have to be so careless?" I complained, my voice sharp with contained fury, expecting her to apologize. Instead, she met my rage with resistance. Her face hardening instantly, she shot back, "This is my routine. Mind your own business." We parted in icy silence.

Returning home, I was consumed by anger and displeasure toward her. However, as the hours passed, that anger began to give way to a sense of guilt, leaving me unsettled. My grandmother's words resounded: "Anger is a storm that drowns the truth." Her wisdom made me reconsider the situation. Perhaps I didn't fully understand Ms. Garcia's circumstances.

Ms. Garcia lived alone, her husband's photo still displayed in her window years after his passing. Had I just attacked a mourning widow (寡妇) over a few sleepless mornings? By afternoon, guilt kept chewing on me. I resolved to take action — I needed to fix this. I spent the evening crafting a wind chime (风铃) from sea glass, its gentle tones melodic compared to the jarring bottle crashes.

The 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize (普利茨克建筑奖) has been awarded to Liu Jiakun, the designer of Suzhou Imperial Bricks Museum, national 4A-level tourist attraction. It is China's first museum committed showcasing the culture and examples of Ming and Qing dynasty imperial kiln (窑) bricks. Liu and his team crafted an museum which offers (tourist) an immersive historical experience of the firing process of imperial kiln bricks. These square-shaped bricks underwent a complex manufacturing process strict quality control before (use) to pave the floors of imperial halls, palaces, and tombs. The imperial brick kiln still (remain) operational today, with its bricks being applied to heritage restoration projects like the Summer Palace.

What particularly impressed the Pritzker jury was Liu's design philosophy architecture should arise from its site, (shape) by its materials, climate, and cultural context. "His design could provide (remark) insights into addressing the challenges of urban (grow)." remarked Alejandro Aravena, chairman of the jury.

I've found walking painful since childhood, but I quickly learnt to3 life in a wheelchair. And this year, I quit my job to4 a year-long world journey. I contacted Guinness while planning and they said solo disability travel to 40+ countries in a year sets a record. I logged it in my mind as a potential5.

In developed countries, accessibility for the disabled isn't as much of an6, but my first destination was Bali. I was7. My partner, Tony, encouraged me, sensing my nerves, "This has always been your dream."

In Bali, I arranged for a driver to show me the island's sights.

"I want to go to the very top," I told the driver.

"The road doesn't go that far," he8.

It was9. I knew the view there would be incredible.10, the driver and two locals carried me to the11! Rather than making me feel like a12, they smiled the whole way.

After that, I traveled freely and visited 66 countries solo. I posted the13 to Guinness and, the next week, received a plain email: Your record has been14. The feeling of achievement was amazing. Now, I'm writing a book about my travels, using my record as15 that a disability doesn't stop you from exploring the world.

Imagine you're descending a rocky mountain trail when a sudden slip leaves you with a deep cut on your leg.. A well-stocked first aid kit, designed specifically for wilderness expeditions, can mean the difference between a manageable injury and a life-threatening situation.

●   Immediate Response Capability

Carrying a wilderness first aid kit empowers you to take control of emergencies.. From cleaning wounds with antiseptic (消毒) wipes to keeping broken bones still with splints (夹板), having the right tools allows for critical initial treatment before professional help arrives.

● Tailored for Outdoor Risks

Unlike basic home kits, wilderness versions contain supplies addressing unique outdoor risks.. In remote locations where medical assistance may be hard to come by in time, specialized items, like bleeding control bandages, blister treatments, and emergency blankets, count.

● Use of high-tech materials

. Many weigh less than 1kg and compress to the size of a water bottle, ensuring they're never left behind due to their weight. Waterproof cases protect contents from rain and river crossings.

●

High-quality kits range from $50-$150, less than many hiking boots. Considering the potential consequences of untreated injuries in remote areas, this investment proves invaluable. Some kits even include wilderness medicine guides for proper technique application.

A wilderness first aid kit isn't just optional equipment — it's your frontline defense against nature's unpredictability. By anticipating risks and packing strategically, adventurers can explore with confidence knowing they're prepared for the unexpected.

A. Investment potential

B. Cost-Effective Preparedness

C. The nearest clinic is hours away, and your phone has no signal.

D. It transforms panic into purposeful action during critical moments.

E. Water purification pills are more vital than bandages in survival situations.

F. Modern super light fabrics make comprehensive kits surprisingly portable.

G. Kits typically include snake bite kits and spider sting relievers for regional dangers.

A new study led by University of Maine researchers provides guidance on how institutions can support and improve students' well-being, and breaks down the various benefits for learners during and beyond their university career.

The study defines well-being as a combined sense of belonging, agency, purpose, identity, citizen engagement and financial stability. Quoting a long-term investigation, researchers identified key student experiences that result in improved well-being later in life: working at a job or internship (实习); conducting a project that takes a semester or longer to complete; extensively participating in extracurricular (课外的) activities; having at least one professor who either personally cares about their students, and encourages them to pursue their goals or makes them excited to learn. "A wealth of evidence shows that student-centered practices can meaningfully support well-being. We hope this will encourage educators to consider their learning context," said Holly White, lead researcher.

Researchers identified six guiding principles for improving students' well-being, among which are Research Learning Experiences (RLEs). "A unique feature of our RLEs is that they are open to all entering first-year students, no matter what prior experiences students may have had. Our early results on the positive impact of RLEs on students' overall well-being are very encouraging," said John Volin, the study co-author.

"I think it's really important to recognize that we can support students' well-being and learning. These aspects are not contradictory or in a zero-sum situation. It also doesn't have to be one or the other," White said.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), which governs professional cycling, worries that it might. At a meeting on January 31st,2025, the UCI recommended that its bosses ban the use of carbon monoxide by riders on medical grounds. The UCI has even requested the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to decide whether repeatedly breathing in carbon monoxide should be considered doping (兴奋剂).

That a poisonous gas might be performance-enhancing is less surprising than it sounds. Hemoglobin (血红蛋白) attaches to oxygen to transport it throughout the body, but CO attaches to haemoglobin more strongly than oxygen does, preventing oxygen transport. While too much exposure can lead to asphyxiation (窒息), smaller doses can cause mild lack of oxygen. Extended lack of oxygen stimulates the bone marrow (骨髓) to increase red blood cell production, which offers benefits for endurance athletes. More red blood cells enhance the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, enabling athletes to perform better over long distances.

It indeed works in practice. In 2020 a group of researchers led by Walter Schmidt at the University of Bayreuth published a paper examining the effects of CO on bicycle athletes. They found that small doses given five times a day for three weeks led to a roughly 5% increase in the amount of haemoglobin in their blood. Levels of haemoglobin found in red blood cells is an important statistic for endurance athletes.

Even more appealing, though, is the fact that the gas has legal uses. Indeed, CO is routinely used to keep track of riders' fitness. Moreover, all the equipment and supplies necessary to abuse the gas are already widely used. "It would be pretty easy for the riders to move the needle from just monitoring their fitness to performance enhancement," notes Walter Schmidt.

Born in Tahiti in 2002, Vaast developed a deep connection with the ocean from an early age. Vaast's daily training was nothing short ofgrueling. In the early morning light, he'd carry his board down to the shore, where he'd spend hours paddling through the surf, building up his strength and endurance. He'd practice his takeoffs, dropping in on waves with extreme precision, repeating the same move over and over again until it was second nature. He'd also work on his balance, standing on unstable boards on land, mimicking the movements he'd make while riding a wave, to improve his stability in the water.

The 2024 Olympics was hosted at Tahiti, a French overseas territory and home to one of the world's most perfect yet fearsome waves: Teahupo'o. Surfing the challenging Teahupo'o served as the ultimate stage for Vaast to showcase his skills. In the 30-minute final, as the highly anticipated wave rolled in, he undeniably felt at home. His first wave was a breathtaking display of pure ability. He dropped in gracefully and smoothly pumped through a colossal frontside barrel（正手浪管）, impressing the judges with a stunning score of 9.5. His Australian competitor, Jack Robinson, had a ride but struggled to match the depth and duration of Vaast's wave. As the competition progressed, Vaast caught another impressive barrel wave, earning an additional score of 8.17. With time running out and no suitable waves presenting themselves to Robinson, Vaast's years of persistent training paid off.

"I don't really realize it, but I just made history," said Vaast afterward. "I can't be prouder to represent Tahiti and France at home." Vaast exclaimed, his eyes glistening with joy and pride.

The United States boasts some of the most magnificent national parks in the world, each offering a unique glimpse into the country's natural beauty and ecological diversity. Here are a few of the most renowned ones.

Yellowstone, the first national park in the world, was established in 1872 and spans across Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Famous for its geothermal (地热的) wonders, including the iconic Old Faithful Spring, Yellowstone also teems with wildlife such as grizzly bears, wolves, and bison. Its landscape ranges from lush forests to serene lakes, making it an escape for nature enthusiasts.

Yosemite National Park, located in California, is renowned for its towering cliffs, spectacular waterfalls, and ancient sequoia trees. The park's majestic Half Dome and El Capitan formations are a challenge for rock climbers, while its waterfalls, like Yosemite Falls, are a spectacle for visitors. Yosemite Valley, surrounded by these breathtaking formations, is the heart of the park's charm.

The Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona is a testament to the power of nature. This immense canyons (峡谷), carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, stretches 277 miles long and up to 18miles wide. Hikers and sightseers alike are drawn to its layered, multicolored rock formations that reveal the Earth's geological history.

Zion National Park, in Utah, is famous for its towering sandstone cliffs and narrow canyons. Angels Landing, a thrilling hike with a stunning view, and The Narrows, where hikers navigate through the Virgin River, are two of the park's most notable attractions. Zion's landscape is a paradise for outdoor adventure and photography.

In a lively city, there was a small bookstore hidden between two tall buildings. It wasn't the most attractive place, but it had an undeniable charm. The owner, David, had inherited (继承) the store from his grandfather. Every day, he opened its creaky (吱嘎的) doors and greeted his customers with a smile, even though his heart was heavy.

David had been struggling with his business for months. Online stores had taken over the market, and fewer people walked into his store. He had always believed in the magic of physical books, but with bills piling up and his savings running low, he was beginning to lose hope.

One rainy afternoon, as David sat behind the counter, staring at the closed sign on the door, a young woman entered. Her name was Sophie, and she was new to the city. She had heard about the bookstore from a friend and decided to check it out.

Sophie wandered through the passages, running her fingers along the spines of the books. There was something warm and comforting about the place — despite its worn-out shelves and faded sign outside. After a while, she picked up a book on gardening — a topic she had recently become passionate about — and brought it to the counter. David greeted her, still burdened by his worries.

"You seem like you're really into gardening," he said softly.

Sophie smiled. "Yes, it's been such a peaceful escape for me lately."

David rang up the book and said, "I hope it helps you grow your garden. Plants are like people. They need care, but they can really bloom if you give them the right environment."

Before leaving with the book, Sophie turned to him. "There's something special about this place. I hope you keep it open for a long time."

David watched as she stepped out into the rain, her smile lingering (萦绕) in his mind. That night, for the first time in weeks, he didn't feel the heavy weight of worry. Instead, he thought about Sophie's words. Maybe it wasn't about making the store bigger or more popular. Maybe it was about creating an environment where people felt welcomed — and that was enough to keep going.

The China Wildlife Image and Video Competition, hosted by the Chinese National Geography, has long been event of great significance in the field of wildlife documentation. At an awards ceremony recently held in Beijing, 17 remarkable images and videos, which (select) from over 37,600 submissions globally, deeply attracted the audience.

The competition, (theme) "Spirituality of Mountains and Seas" this year, aims to enhance public awareness of wildlife and ecological conservation. Among the award-winning (entry), the work of Jia Haining's team on Oriental storks (东方白鹳) in the Yellow River Delta stood out (noticeable). Their delicate piece of art beautifully demonstrated the region's ecological harmony and species (diverse).

To film the dynamic moment the birds left their nests, they arrived at the filming site as early as 4:30 am. And they waited patiently for almost two months the young storks' first flight! The judges praised their work as a breathtaking symphony of life.

Additionally, special awards for mobile photography and social media engagement were introduced to encourage (broad) public participation. The competition, as Dr. Jane Goodall noted, has the power to inspire people, especially those who rarely have the opportunity to experience nature firsthand, (reconnect) with the natural world.

One day, while cleaning Arthur's room, Jean found an MP3 under his bed and her credit card under his pillow. The realization5 her that Arthur had used her card without6, which explained the7 $1,000 on her recent credit card bill. Realizing she had failed to teach him the value of money, Jean8 a plan.

On the first day of Arthur's summer break, Jean took Arthur to an old farm. She confronted (对质) him about the MP3, and Arthur9 using her card because all his friends had one. Jean proposed he work on the farm for two weeks to prove his10 to correct his mistakes.

Throughout his time there, Arthur encountered11 he had never faced before but carried on. The hard labor taught him the meaning of effort, sacrifice, and the true value of money. At the end of his work, Arthur approached Jean with a(n)12, acknowledging his error. Jean forgave him and shared her own story of making mistakes. She wasn't angry about how much money she lost, but was hurt by his13 in using her credit card without permission.

14 with emotion, Arthur understood Mom's sacrifice. He whispered, "I love you." Jean smiled and replied, "I love you too, my little boy,15 anything."

In our busy lives, we often pass up chances for joy. We might skip a birthday party or cancel a lunch date, thinking it's not worth the trouble. But this usually makes us feel even more down later. The secret to changing this is to strengthen"reward sensitivity".

Reward sensitivity is like a muscle. It can grow stronger with regular practice. When we train ourselves to notice and value positive emotions, we can become happier. They often struggle to feel pleasure, a condition called anhedonia (unable to experience joy). A 2023 study showed that therapy focusing on positive emotions helps mental health more than treatments just reducing negative symptoms.

A great way to strengthen reward sensitivity is to plan a small, fun activity daily. Describe it in detail, focusing on the feelings and experiences. This practice, known as"savoring (尽情享受)," makes positive feelings stronger and gives you more motivation to seek similar experiences in the future.

. Instead of simply labeling an experience"good", use more precise words like"thrilled,""inspired, or "peaceful". Sharing positive moments with others can make these moments even more meaningful, strengthening social bonds and spreading happiness.

It's important to remember that embracing happiness doesn't mean ignoring pain. By using these strategies in your daily life, you can cultivate a stronger sense of reward sensitivity and change how you experience and pursue happiness.

A. Afterward, take a moment to recall the experience.

B. It's the ability to find and truly enjoy positive experiences.

C. We often avoid such activities, which make our mood decline.

D. This is especially important for those with depression or anxiety.

E. This practice helps you better understand and enjoy positive feelings.

F. Despite life's challenges, feeling joy helps restore balance and toughness.

G. Beyond savoring, expanding your emotional vocabulary can also help.

Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless.

Gas power plants, which can be switched on and off relatively easily, are frequently relied on to provide power when renewable generation is low. But gas is often the most expensive source of power, and electricity market rules mean the most expensive generator sets the price for the entire market.

Raúl Bajo-Buenestado at the University of Navarra and his colleagues found nations with more wind and solar in their power systems were more vulnerable (易受影响) to natural gas price shocks. Spain, for example, has large volumes of solar power and is particularly sensitive to power price changes. "If you have natural gas, wind and solar, this is going to make the perfect cocktail for you to be vulnerable," says Bajo-Buenestado.

It is the need for flexible generation alongside wind and solar that is the issue. Bajo-Buenestado points out that other nations with low-carbon power grids, such as Norway and France, rely on hydropower and nuclear technology, which are reliable generators. "We don't see a clear correlation between decarbonisation and sensitivity to natural gas price changes," he says.

Solving the problem will require nations to replace gas as the back-up fuel of choice. One answer is for grid operators to push the power system to become better able to absorb peaks and valleys in generation. "The underlying message is that getting a flexible system is now as important as building renewables," says Michael Grubb at University College London.
