On August 5, 2024, Chinese badminton player He Bingjiao won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. However, truly stood out was a touching moment on the podium (领奖台). As she received her medal, He Bingjiao held a badge (徽章) (feature) the Spanish flag, which aroused widespread curiosity online.

This gesture was to express respect and care for her semifinal opponent, Spain's Carolina Marin, who (retire) from the match due to injury. He Bingjiao explained, "I brought the Spanish badge because Marin's suffering broke my heart. I hope she sees this and wish her a speedy (recover)."

During their semifinal match, Marin performed well but (force) to stop after getting injured. He Bingjiao immediately reached out, offering support and checking on Marin, who was (visible) upset.

The act rapidly made headlines around the world. The International Olympic Committee praised He Bingjiao showing the Olympic values of respect and friendship. Spanish media also highlighted the (emotion) moment, with many fans applauding her sportsmanship. Pau Gasol, the legendary Spanish basketball player, called it beautiful display of Olympic spirit.

He Bingjiao's action not only demonstrated her respect for her opponent but also reflected the true spirit of the Olympics — competition, (pair) with unity and mutual (相互的) respect.

For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the "phonotelephone" which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:

"Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears."

Verne's technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the "hard science fiction" of the 20th century and beyond.

Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.

The spirit of adventure in Verne's timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.

Chinese painting, standing as one of the world's oldest and most enduring artistic legacies, has a rich and complex story (tell). The journey begins with ink, a (fundament) material that is rubbed to the desired consistency on an insstone with a little water. Then the painter uses a pointed-tipped brush (craft) from the hair of goats, deer, or wolves set in a shaft of bamboo. Typically, traditional Chinese paintings are brought to life on a length of silk or a sheet of paper, surface is absorbent, allowing no room for erasure or correction.

The Tang Dynasty (witness) figure painting reach its unprecedented height, while the Song Dynasty saw the flourishing of landscape painting and bird-and-flower painting. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, having been exposed to Western art, Chinese painters started to evolve new styles combining traditional (technique) with Western impressionism and perspective. the perfect integration of ancient and modern, Chinese painting is bound to shine with an even more glorious and distinctive charm, (attract) art lovers around the world.

How does it work?

Using the Lime app on their smartphones, customers can locate an available scooter at a parking station in Vancouver, sign it out, cruise around, and then park it at any station in the same area. E-scooters in the city have a speed limit of 25 km/h and are allowed on roads and bike lanes, but not sidewalks.

Where can people ride the scooters?

Initially, riders are supposed to stay inside the designated area. If they scoot outside the area, the motor of the scooter will cease to function, and it will not restart until they walk it back inside the area.

What's the cost to riders?

"Monthly and annual passes will also be available at much more affordable rates," Danielle Wiley, Vancouver's associate director of street use management, said, "to aid the city's transportation and climate goals of reducing people's dependence on private cars."

What can Vancouver learn from cities with a shared e-scooter system?

E-scooters, run by several companies including Lime, have increased in popularity around the world, but not without their critics. Paris forbade e-scooter rentals last year following complaints from pedestrians, and just last week, Melbourne followed suit.

"We want to avoid the problems of shared e-scooters as reported elsewhere," Wiley said. "That's why it is hugely important for us to have physical parking stations."

In a small town lived a teenage girl named Lily. She was cheerful and loved making new friends and trying new things, but she seldom turned to others for help. Lately she felt sad and lost as she was stuck in a difficult situation.

Lily had arranged to go to a concert with her best friend, Sarah, on Saturday evening. However, that morning her cousins visited, and they spent a noisy, tiring day together. Because of the busy day, Lily did not hear her phone and missed her concert appointment. The next day, when Lily met Sarah, she was excited to share the story of her cousins' visit. But Sarah became angry and walked away. Even when Lily tried to explain, Sarah did not respond and started avoiding her at school.

One day, Lily noticed a flyer (传单) for a youth group meeting at the local community center. Although she was curious about meeting new people, she also felt a little scared of the unknown. After a brief pause, she decided to join the meeting, hoping it might help her feel better.

At the community center, a group of friendly teenagers welcomed her. David, the group leader, greeted her warmly and introduced her to everyone. They played games, talked about their interests, and shared their problems. As the meeting went on, Lily realized she was not alone in her struggles. The group discussed how challenging it could be to manage school work, friendships, and family expectations.

Lily had kept her feelings inside ever since her argument with Sarah, thinking she was the only one experiencing such difficulties. Now, surrounded by others who understood, she felt more hopeful. When it was her turn to speak, she opened up about her feelings. As she shared her emotions, Lily felt a great sense of relief.

Miller and her grandson Bill often walk together on that road to get ice cream. When Bill went to visit that evening, she told him what had2.

"I've always known that there's lots of street racing on Estrella Parkway," Bill, 10, told the media, "But after I heard that my grandma was3 hit by a car, I was not happy. So I asked my dad, ‘What can we do to4 this?' And he said, ‘Let's go to the city5.'"

That's exactly what they6. Goodyear City Council meetings are7 to the public, with time8 for people to comment on issues affecting their community. When it was his9 to speak, Bill, dressed in a blue suit and tie, stepped up to the10. He spoke about people11 cars on Estrella Parkway. "It's very12," he said. "I wonder if you guys have any13."

The mayor (市长) was14, and about six months after the council meeting, a new traffic light was up and running. Stories about Bill's efforts to15 his community appeared on the local news and on national TV.

It's common for the body's natural "fight-or-flight" response to kick in, and it may be hard to react the way you would otherwise like to under pressure. When the next high-stress situation arises, you are better prepared.

One technique is to exercise the heart rate variability, or HRV, which is the way in which a person's heart rate goes up and down and constantly varies. Having a higher HRV is a sign that your nervous system is healthy.

Be aware that your reaction to stress is not abnormal. When a person starts to feel the sensations of stress, thoughts such as "I can't do this" or panic begin to happen. But when you're mindful that these reactions are normal, you can use that awareness to your advantage.

Experts recommend breathing in normally through the nose for four seconds and breathing out — as if you are gently blowing out a candle — for six seconds to help the body get to the best state.

Ultimately, it is important to remember that stress is unavoidable, especially when emergencies happen. It keeps our nervous systems prepared to respond when we need to, and to go back to a state of calm when things are OK and there's no threat in the environment.

A. A little bit of stress is good for us.

B. But you can train the mind and body.

C. You have difficulty breathing normally.

D. It is important to stay calm in an emergency.

E. You're standing up to speak in front of a crowd.

F. Reminding yourself to take slower breaths is also important.

G. And your heart can adapt better to daily challenges and stressors.

Researchers at Penn State University (PSU) found that dogs can carry antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) salmonella, which poses a serious risk to humans. In both dogs and humans, salmonella infections can cause fever and stomach trouble. In some cases, the infection can spread beyond the intestines (肠) and cause more serious issues, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Dogs can get salmonella by eating raw food or consuming waste from infected animals. It can then be passed on to humans through contact with the dog's waste, warns the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. The issue is that dogs can carry salmonella without showing any signs of illness, making it easy to spread without warning.

The PSU team studied salmonella in dogs from May 2017 to March 2023, as well as human cases. They found 87 cases in dogs and concluded that 77 human cases may have come from dogs. The salmonella in dogs also had genes for drug resistance, which is concerning for treatment.

The study also found that 39% of samples from dogs had a gene that helps salmonella survive in their intestines. This means that even after the dog recovers, it can still spread salmonella through its waste.

Though salmonella isn't common in dogs, the study's authors stress that human contact with dogs makes the issue important. "We don't let cows sleep in our beds or lick our faces, but we do with dogs," said lead author Sophia Kenney.

Co-author Nkuchia Mikanatha emphasized the importance of cleanliness. Simple practices like hand washing, cleaning pet bowls, and not letting your dog lick your face can prevent the spread of salmonella. The goal of the research is not to discourage pet ownership but to raise awareness of risks and encourage better cleanliness to keep both pets and owners safe.

It's important to remember that the insights from case studies cannot be used to determine cause-and-effect relationships between variables. However, case studies may be used to develop theories that can then be addressed in experimental research.

There have been a number of notable case studies in the history of psychology. Much of Freud's work and theories were developed through individual case studies. Here is one great example of case studies in psychology.

Anna O was a patient of a physician named Josef Breuer. While she was never a patient of Freud's, Freud and Breuer discussed her case extensively. The woman was experiencing symptoms of a condition that was then known as hysteria, a state of uncontrolled excitement, fear or panic, and found that talking about her problems helped relieve her symptoms. Her case played an important part in the development of talk therapy (疗法) as an approach to mental health treatment.

As demonstrated in the case of Anna O, case studies offer valuable insights into understanding human behavior and developing treatment methods. When you are writing a case study, you should include a section where you discuss the case study itself, including the advantages and limitations of the study. You should note how the findings of your case study might support previous research. You should also describe some of the implications of your case study. What ideas or findings might require further exploration? How might researchers go about exploring some of these questions in additional studies?

Case studies clarify rare phenomena, inform practical involvement, and bridge clinical observation with experimental research to advance psychological understanding.

Turtle eggs have long been stolen as a food source by coastal communities, but more recently it is human activity of another kind that has proved a greater threat. As the city has expanded, restaurants and other tourist facilities have mushroomed along most parts of the country's western coast, bringing in more people, noisy music, and much plastic and chemical waste, all of which harms turtle nesting during the reproducing season.

Aware that life for the turtles was becoming more difficult, Muditha Katuwawala, one of the volunteers, expanded the activities of the Pearl Protectors to include regular patrols. Working with the coastguard, the volunteers help to find eggs laid in hazardous areas and remove them to a safe nesting place on the beach until they hatch.

Nevertheless, a significant threat to the turtles comes from the illegal hunters because once they find a nest, all the eggs are usually taken. "Certain restaurants and hotels sell these eggs to the foreigners as a novel food, at a good price," Katuwawala says. "So turtle eggs now have commercial demand." He says patrolling alone will not create a lasting impact on turtle conservation and it needs to be combined with educating coastal communities.

Another volunteer, Lara Wijesuriya, agrees. "It makes a difference to the community in how they perceive the problem and the solution," she says. "And it makes a difference to the volunteers in how they approach the problem. It bridges the gap."

In the southern part of the island, the Turtle Conservation Project has gone a step further by employing hunters to protect nests, providing an alternative income.

"When you finally see the baby turtles going into the ocean, it's really nice to know that you helped a life to live," Fernando, another volunteer, says.

Little Lucy lived in a very poor part of a big city. One day, her class teacher talked about gifts and how it was much more important to give them than to receive them. She said that she hoped all the boys and girls in the class would remember to give something, however small, to their loved ones to show how much they loved them.

Afterward Lucy thought a good deal about what the teacher had said and wondered how she could afford to give anything to anybody. Her daddy gave her $1 a week for pocket money, and that didn't go very far these days. Somehow, she thought, she would try to buy something for mother, and father, and brother, and sister, but, oh, dear, there was Grandma, too! What could she do about Grandma?

The next time she went to class she asked the teacher if it would be acceptable to give Grandma just a card. The teacher said Grandma would be happy to receive the smallest thing if it was given in love. So Lucy began searching for a card for Grandma that wouldn't cost too much. One day she saw it. The very one! It had a picture of a cat on it, and Lucy remembered that Grandma had just lost old tabby cat(斑猫)that she had loved so much. So she bought the card, paying one whole week's pocket money for it.

On the day Lucy gave Grandma the card, she was overjoyed to see how pleased Grandma was. She said the picture of the cat was just like her own precious tabby. This gave Lucy an idea. "Someday," she said to herself, "I'll buy my granny a real cat. Just think how happy she'll be then!"

She found a pet shop and asked how much a real cat would cost. "Twenty dollars," said the man. Lucy's face fell. Twenty dollars! How in the world would she ever get $20? That would take all her pocket money for 20 weeks — five whole months!

Every summer, New Yorker Stephen L. Koss conducts city walk tours, known as "Walking with Steve," (guide) visitors through little-known but culturally rich places in Suzhou to help them learn more about the city. Many locals admit they are amazed because Stephen knows Suzhou better than they do.

Stephen Koss first came to China in 2001. He visited many tourist destinations, but Suzhou left unique impression on him. So he returned and later married a native of Suzhou. The couple decided to stay in Suzhou for half of the year in New York the other half. Whenever he returned to the U.S., people would ask him he lived in China.

Psychologists say that the feelings that often crop up in autumn come from our discomfort with change, and an anxiety and uncertainty about what that change will bring. Among those things, the anxiety, the promise and even the careful thoughts function differently. They make it the ideal season to build resilience and practice mindfulness.

But intolerance of uncertainty is a part of being human; everyone has it on some level. And it is changeable. It's an approach worth trying to cultivate uncertainty rather than escaping from it.

Another strategy experts suggest for relieving anxiety is to step back and simply observe the world around you. Quietly sit on a park bench and watch a tree drop its leaves, for instance.

Autumn will probably hold some whisper of decay and death. If you are always trying to avoid difficult feelings, you might end up also cutting yourself off from love, richness and sweetness. Dr. Wilson said, "this is how life is: sweet and sad, poured from the same vessel in equal measure."

A. In fact, it is not that bad.

B. But embracing that sadness is important.

C. One way to build tolerance is to lean into it.

D. The leaves will die and the nights will stretch longer.

E. After all, it's a time to appreciate what nature offers you.

F. Also, fall brings with bright days, sweet fruits and cozy sweaters.

G. In such moments, you may as well stop thinking or analyzing current troubles.
