At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn't anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.

Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn't a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he'd had a pretty rough time, had been watching her from the table around the corner.

This boy was in rough shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they'd seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and his face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. He had that look of someone who hadn't had a good meal too long. When the lady left, the boy saw his chance, He quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal he'd ever had.

But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who'd probably seen everything. He didn't say anything at first, just watched the boy for a second. The boy got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy's heart sank.

The boy got up to leave, but before he could get far, the waiter came back and asked the boy to wait for a moment. The waiter gave him a full and fresh meal.

There was a time when physical fitness alone was considered important in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Here are some ways to help you focus on both.

Keep a positive attitude (态度) towards life.

A healthy lifestyle is based on the principle of self-improvement. Your positive attitude towards life will give you the drive to perform the rest of the tasks easily. So put your energy in whatever you like. But if you fail at it, learn to accept it. Positivity is a state of mind.

Exercise regularly.

You will be a happy person if you are free of diseases. Exercising on a regular basis will help you to stay fit. If you want to build up muscles, then work out on a daily basis. If you do not have the time to exercise every day, you can limit your days and increase your workout time in this case.

Maintain a healthy diet.

Your food selection must be wise. Include fruits and vegetables to your food chart. Cut down on sugar and salt. You should also keep an eye on your daily calorie intake to avoid overeating.

The brain needs proper rest to perform fully. Long-term sleeplessness can make you less productive and you would not be able to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Follow a proper sleep routine. This helps the body to work well during the day and sleep peacefully at night.

A. Take a rest now and then.

B. Complete your sleep cycle.

C. It can also keep you active and young.

D. A balanced healthy diet is a key to good health.

E. Train your mind to see only the good and forget the rest.

F. Actually, listening to your body and mind equally is important.

G. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, you should keep a balance in everything.

The first emojis were made in 1999 by a Japanese artist. He was working for a mobile network company. The company asked him to create a set of emojis to use when they launched (发布) their mobile Internet system. Messages on the system were limited to 250 characters, so he thought emojis would be an expeditious way for people to communicate, which made online talks easy and quick.

At that time, people were already using "emoticons" in their conversations. These are simple faces made using characters on a keyboard. For example, a colon and a right parenthesis — :) — make a basic smiley face. The artist took this idea and made it better by creating 176 black-and-white pixel images to show things like emotions, weather, and food. This set of emojis is now part of the permanent (永久的) collection at New York City's Museum of Modern Art.

The artist said he was inspired by symbols used in weather forecasts and Chinese characters. The word emoji is a combination of two Japanese words: e which means picture, and moji which means character. The artist said he never thought emojis would become so popular around the world.

But they did — and it happened quickly. Other companies in Japan started using emojis too, and by the mid-2000s, international companies began including them in their systems. In 2010, emojis were officially recognized by the Unicode Consortium, an organization that keeps text standards in software. This meant emojis could be used on any operating system.

Today, the Unicode Consortium has approved (认可) over 3,700 emojis, showing different moods, animals, food, flags, and more. And just like any other language, emojis keep growing, with new ones added every year.

The 27-year-old just graduated from the University of Liverpool with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and she has set her sights on becoming an astronaut (宇航员).

But winning her title just a few months before completing her degree was no easy task for the energetic redhead from Kelmersdale. She is the first red-headed woman — and the first rocket scientist — to be crowned (加冕) Miss England.

Gagen was able to manage both her competition and her schoolwork but the stress of doing both left her with chest pains and sleeplessness. However, she didn't give up, just as she had been treated badly and always been made fun of as a child for having red hair.

"It was a tough five-year journey to get to this point, and I faced challenges before I even began," Gagen said. "I think it's important that today's youth know that sometimes things don't go entirely to plan, and that's perfectly okay."

Before starting at the university, Gagen studied a foundation year in physics while working on weekends because she didn't have all the courses she needed for the program. She began studying at the university in 2019 and when the pandemic (流行病) hit, all the course work went online. She did this while working full time at night.

During the course of her studies, Gagen saw that there were very few females in STEM and decided to make it her task to promote (提升) careers in STEM for women and girls on her social media.

In the first year, she won Miss Lancashire and placed second in the national contest but she really wanted to win to promote her task. "There's a lot of work that goes into becoming Miss England, and I really wanted to win because I knew I could use the platform to get more girls into engineering," she said.
