Exports do not mean overcapacity. In a global economy with a high division of labor and specialization, it is normal for a country's productive capacity to go beyond its domestic demand. For example, about 80% of the cars produced in Germany are exported. Commercial aircraft giants Airbus and Boeing export most of their planes to other countries. While Chinese clean technology accounts for only a small fraction of China's exports, about 4.5 percent last year, far less than Germany. In fact, the Global Electric Vehicle Outlook, released last year, claimed that the global demand for new electric vehicles will reach 45 million units, which China's new energy products do not go beyond.

America's new energy industry falls behind due to underinvestment in green technology and infrastructure (基础设施). Take wind energy for example. A recent report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) shows that the United States is struggling in its development of wind energy. Building a wind farm requires huge turbine blades (涡轮叶片) and a lot of custom engineering to produce huge towers and foundations, which makes wind energy difficult to trade between countries, so the supply chain needed to run a wind farm smoothly faces great trouble.

China is the only country with enough supply chains to keep wind energy growing without difficulties. Chinese Vice Finance Minister Liao Min said green technology products in China will help the country meet its carbon emission targets and contribute to the global response to climate change and green development.

Mr Parish had originally intended to join the Royal Navy but ended up as a teacher at our school. Some pupils guessed that he still felt the call of the ocean-perhaps because his lessons were almost entirely devoted to navigation(航海). They argued that it was deeply unfair to learn about navigation but never actually go to sea. Then Mr. Parish, seeing a bunch of young people prepared to crew the boat, allowed them to sail her in return for working on the boat. And that was the beginning of the school sailing club.

By the time I arrived, the sailing club had grown. At weekends, we would work on her all day, cleaning and painting her, and collapse into sleeping bags on the floor at night. Then came the big day when a school sailing trip was announced. Its destination was Saint-Malo. But it also meant that we had to refit the ship by removing every piece of ballast(压舱物)and replacing the bilge water(底舱污水)before we were allowed to sail.

And I did learn the ropes on that school trip. I learned how to operate a ship in the high waves. I learned the meaning of teamwork and became a better team player. I also learned that the best fish is the one that you have caught and cooked yourself from a boat that you have rebuilt and sailed yourself.

Top of the Wolds 10K Challenge

This 10-km countryside track in Yorkshire is all fun until you take the left turn at Nunburnholme. At this point, you enter a serious uphill part, but thankfully the uphill part only lasts for around 1.5km. You'll have about a kilometre to enjoy the views before the way takes you downhill again, and back to where you started in Warter — a cute little village.

Scurry2Bridges Run

This 161-km relay race is divided into 16 parts, so you each run 4 separate parts. Over the course of this day-long adventure, you'll each run about marathon distance while the workers will drive around for pick-ups and drop-off s at relay exchange points between the start in Dundee and the finish in Edinburgh.

Scafell Sky Race

Here's a trail run (越野跑) that is not suitable for beginners. With a total of 3,500 m of ascent (上坡路), this is unquestionably one of the hardest events around. Good thing is that the views are beautiful, and that there's hot food and a bottle of apple juice waiting for you in the end.

Offa's Dyke 15

The traditional 15-mile distance begins at the Clock Tower in Hay-on-Wye and includes a few hard climbs before finishing in Kington. This year the hard event has added a challenging 10 km around Kington.

Eighteen-year-old Robert was born with an excellent musical gift. There was something in his voice that charmed everyone. His family was not well-off and his parents had no money to send him to music classes. But on his own, Robert learned to play the guitar. His voice was so soft and beautiful that he dreamed of becoming a singer in the future.

One day when he was walking home through the college corridor, he glanced at the notice board and knew there would be a music competition at the college. He was excited and decided to take part. "How do I find a peaceful place to compose a song?" While he was struggling with this problem, he saw an ad for an apartment to rent. He dialed the number on the ad and the old landlord told him that his flat was available at 600 dollars a month. The rent was too high. Robert asked whether he could pay half, and then pay the rest without a deposit (押金). To his surprise, the old man agreed.

Robert moved to the flat with his guitar and played songs every day. Many days passed, yet he didn't write even a single line of his new song. With only one week left, he was totally depressed. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. It was his landlord.

Robert was puzzled by the gentleman's visit when he spoke. "I live upstairs. Actually, I'm hearing music from you many days." "Yeah, I'm preparing for a competition," said Robert. "Well, the melody (旋律) was too monotonous (单调的). But if you don't mind, can I help you?" Robert was surprised that the old man was so frank with him. He nodded in agreement. The old man took the guitar and played a beautiful piece. Robert stared at him in shock. He had never heard such a beautiful song ever before. To Robert's amazement, it turned out that the old man was a retired music professor.

Shenzhou-19 crew members aboard China's orbiting space station completed the first extravehicular activities (EVAs) of their mission at 9:57 p.m. (Beijing Time) Tuesday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, worked for nine hours on (complete) multiple tasks, including the installation of space-debris protection devices. They (assist) by the space station's robotic arm and a team on Earth. Cai and Song, the two crew members assigned the EVA duty, have since returned (safe) to the Wentian lab module. The mission of the first extravehicular activities of the Shenzhou-19 crew was complete success, setting a new record for the duration of extravehicular (task) by Chinese astronauts, said the CMSA. It marked Cai's second EVAs in space, following (he) initial EVAs during the Shenzhou-14 mission two years ago. Song, is a role model for the younger generation, became the first Chinese astronaut born after 1990 to carry out EVAs, said the agency. The Shenzhou-19 crew is set to carry out a lot of (schedule) space-science experiments and technical tests, while they will also undertake extravehicular activities and install (science) equipment outside the space station, the agency added.

Once I was old enough to have the4 of the kitchen, I became obsessed with trying to5 how to make my own cookies, with absolutely no success. Years later, I revisited the6 at work when I was tasked with creating a perfect chocolate chip cookie7 for a magazine feature. A few co-workers kindly recommended their favourite to me but,8, none hit the spot, so I started from scratch, analysed the situation and learned a lot in the process.

All in all, I've9 that I've baked upwards of 700 chocolate chip cookies — partly seeking10, but also for many, many bake sales. The hunt for a foolproof (万无一失的) recipe has meant I've tested countless11 and analysed what it takes to make a very sought-after thing — a unique chocolate chip cookie.

In all that time, I've made12: overcooked them, undercooked them, tried cookies that were13 cakey; ones that burned around the edge but were still raw in the centre. In the words of Thomas Edison: I did not14 — I simply found multiple ways that didn't work, and it ultimately led to me learning many tricks to get the kind of cookie I15.

◎Find a responsible partner

Having a responsible partner can be an effective type of motivation to help you stay on track. Telling others about your plans or goals might help you feel more encouraged to actually achieve them.

◎Shake up your environment

. Creating a welcoming environment that feels good to be in and contributes to staying focused on your goals is important. Small details like plenty of sunlight or adding a plant to your desk can all help.

◎

Sometimes, it can be easy to lose motivation if you feel like you're not making enough progress toward a big goal. If you start to feel this way, reflect on your progress. You might be surprised to look back and realize just how far you've come.

When measuring progress, focus on measuring behaviors over results. For example, if you want to become a better writer and publish a story, measure your research, drafts, and discussions on the topic.. Even though you don't have complete control over the outcome, you have full control over your behaviors.

◎Schedule breaks in your day

Breaks allow your brain to rest and digest all the information you've just taken in.. For example, surfing the Internet still requires your brain to process information and make decisions. Doing a small chore, going for a walk, or taking a power coffee nap are all great alternatives.

A. Track your progress

B. Stay optimistic and trust yourself

C. In fact, even a short break helps avoid burnout

D. Our working environments are full of distractions

E. Managing to write a little bit every day is even better

F. The following tips can serve as guides on how to get motivated

G. However, not all types of breaks provide the same amount of restfulness

The story begins in late 2014, when a violent oceanic heat wave "Blob" parked itself over the Pacific northeast, raising ocean temperatures far above normal for almost two years. It cooked up an ecological chain reaction, reducing phytoplankton (浮游植物) populations and in turn the forage fish that seabirds like common murres eat. In 2015 and 2016, the birds collectively starved to death.

"We knew right away that it was a big disaster," says Renner, a wildlife biologist with U. S. Fish and Wildlife at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge in Homer. "There were 62,000 carcasses that washed up on the beaches, all over the Gulf of Alaska, all the way down to California. It was clearly a big deal, but we couldn't really quantify the size of the death very well."

The scale and speed of the seabird population collapse is shocking, says Simon Tye, an ecologist at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville who wasn't involved with the research. "It was pretty heartbreaking."

Tye and Renner both point out that with continued climate warming, heat waves like the "Blob" are expected to occur more frequently. This could endanger already vulnerable populations of many animals that have yet to recover in an ocean ecosystem affected by the previous heat wave.

While there's little immediate human control over oceanic heat waves, Renner says the findings underscore the importance of other conservation efforts for seabirds. This may include removing invasive predators or other species that - alongside climatic swings - create an additive stress on seabird populations.

"The top of the food web going away, I think that's really important," Tye says. "It should be an ominous (不祥的) thing for everybody."

To understand how these ancient marks could help save lives, the research team turned to New Zealand's Alpine Fault. The researchers focused their investigation on a fascinating section of the Alpine Fault known as an "earthquake gate". This region can either stop earthquakes in their tracks or allow them to continue their journey, a decision that has enormous consequences. When earthquakes push through this gate, they transform from magnitude 7.5 events into far more powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquakes, dramatically increasing their potential for destruction.

The implications of this research reach far beyond New Zealand's shores. "The scratches indicate the direction and origin of a past earthquake, potentially giving us clues about where a future quake might start and where it will go. This is key for California, where anticipating the direction of a quake on faults like San Andreas or San Jacinto could mean a more accurate forecast of its impact," Barth, UC Riverside geologist and lead author, notes.

Understanding the direction of earthquake movement isn't just academic curiosity, it could provide crucial extra minutes of warning time for vulnerable populations. Consider Los Angeles: if a major earthquake begins near the Salton Sea and moves northward along the San Andreas fault, it would direct intense energy toward the city. However, this scenario could also give residents about a minute's warning through cellular alert systems — precious time that could allow people to take cover, stop medical procedures, or shut down critical systems.

By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding. The theatre, though shaded, had no air conditioning.

A show was about to begin as we sat down. Despite the small audience of about 20 people looking for a cool place to sit, the teenage performers delivered an energetic and lively performance with rock and roll music.

In the end, the audience gave only polite, half-hearted applause. However, Shelia stood up and cheered loudly as if she had seen the most amazing Broadway production in her life. She explained to me, "These are someone else's kids. Since their moms aren't here, we need to support them." I was deeply moved by Shelia's words. I had never thought about it that way before. I joined Shelia in cheering for these hard-working young performers.

This happened over six years ago, but Shelia's words have stayed with me. Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone's children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children.

Thanks, Shelia, for applying the golden rule — "Treat others' children as you would want them to treat yours!" This experience taught me the importance of supporting and encouraging young people, even when they're not our own, and how a small act of kindness can make a difference.

Beginners can take a course through Craftsy, which covers basic tutorials to get you started in woodworking.

It was Christmas Eve morning, and I awoke with a mission: to find my lost cat, Daisy. Sure, it had been six months since she'd gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles, after all.

She was a beautiful lady, her fur a soft blend of brown, gold, and black stripes (条纹). Most importantly, she was a smart cat. I used to take her everywhere I could in a carrier (猫笼), and she was so clever that she learned to walk into it on her own, something I never thought a cat would do. At home, Daisy would enjoy a good nap curled up inside my parents' fireplace. We loved her so much that she was in the family's Christmas picture every year. So, we wouldn't like her missing this year's.

Dad always supported me, but he was so skeptical. He spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst despite the fact that he spent all six months looking for the cat. "She's either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her," he said. I rolled my eyes! He could do with a little more faith! Besides, though I couldn't explain it, I knew I'd see Daisy again. She'd been a stray (走失的宠物) when I found her — a tough little girl that had survived all on her own. If any cat could do the impossible, it was my Daisy.

This Christmas, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Daisy's cat carrier and loaded it into the car, then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter, hoping she'd been found. My eyes scanned cats of all shapes and sizes at the shelter. Much to my disappointment, none of them was my Daisy. We drove through the town without rest, checking every shelter and asking everyone we could find, but each response was the same: no one had seen her. Finally, we pulled over in front of the last shelter in town.

As the internet advances, having to input a verification code (验证码) when (log) into websites has become unavoidable. Have you ever struggled to distinguish between an ‘I', an ‘L' and a ‘l'? have you ever been asked to click on the bus among nine different squares, feeling like you are being treated as a fool?

This verification method, including numbers, texts and images, is known as CAPTCHA system, which stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart". It checks users are human by giving tasks that are double for people but impossible for bots (机器人程序), which stops scammers (骗子) from using bots (misuse) websites.

CAPTCHA sounds completely positive to (human). However, ever since reCAPTCHA, a free CAPTCHA service,    (launch) in 2007, people might have been working as "data annotation (标注) laborers" free. The verification helps digitize books, newspapers and old radio shows.

For example, reCAPTCHA shows users one word that can be recognized by a (scan) and one word that cannot, such as a distorted (变形的) word from a newspaper. If users get the first word right, the system trusts their answer for the second word. Therefore, by answering verification questions, the user is (manual) transforming paper-copy materials into digital text.

As keen walkers, the long distance didn't3 us. We loved the idea of discovering parts of the city we had never seen. Every yard offered a glimpse into the4 of those who owned it. Some were rich with apple trees. Others were covered with wood and broken metal. But more than the scenery and steps taken, the biggest discovery was the thoughtful5 shared between us.

Group study is a common practice among students of all ages. It is commonly believed to be an effective way to supplement individual learning.

When studying in a group, it is important to establish clear goals and expectations. Each member should have a role and responsibility to ensure that the group stays on track. He or she can guide the group and make sure everyone is participating. Group study can be beneficial in many different ways.

Each member brings a unique perspective and set of skills to the group, which can enhance the learning experience. It can also be helpful to have someone explain a concept or problem in a different way, which can make it easier to understand.

Group study can also increase motivation and responsibility. When studying alone, it can be easy to procrastinate (拖延) or lose focus. This can help keep everyone on track and motivated to complete the task at hand.

Despite those benefits, group study can present challenges. Some members may prefer visual aids, while others may prefer hands-on activities or auditory learning. External distractions, such as noise or interruptions, can also be a challenge in group study. However, by working collaboratively, group members can overcome these challenges and have a successful study session.

Overall, group study can be a valuable tool for students of all ages. By working together, students can enhance their learning experience and achieve their academic goals.

A. It is also important to have an appointed leader.

B. It is common to encounter different learning styles.

C. Group study can have a positive impact on preventing study-related stress.

D. One of the benefits is the opportunity to share knowledge and learn from others.

E. Therefore, studying in a group requires careful planning, communication, and collaboration.

F. However, when studying in a group, every member has a sense of responsibility to the other members.

G. It involves studying in a group of two or more people, where each member contributes to the learning process.

Struck by their conversation with Anderson and alarmed at how unusual species were ignored, the Italian scientists set out to find out how well species were represented in the emoji library. The answer wasn't satisfactory at all: animals were well represented by available emojis but plants, fungi and microorganisms(微生物) were not. "Our findings confirm a typical prejudice in biodiversity research and a feature of human psychology," said Mammola. "We usually feel more caring and sympathetic towards living things that are genetically closer to us."

"A good representation of species on social media can arouse interest in unfamiliar organisms, greatly help publicize the message that biodiversity is much more than just cats, dogs, lions and pandas, and indirectly help conservation efforts," said Mammola. "There are an impressive number of organisms, and all of them play a fundamental role on our planet, even the ones we know less about."

Some scientists have taken steps to describe their research on their phone keyboards with images instead of words. However, according to Mammola, the number of animal species represented rose from 45 in 2015 to 92 in 2022, yet the number of plants, fungi and microorganisms represented barely increased.

Anderson said she wanted emojis for organisms like aquatic fungi as reflections of increased public awareness and indicators of their ecological value. "Having an emoji indicates that an organism is valued or important enough to be part of daily conversation," she said.

Perhaps we don't feel we deserved it, or we don't think it was a responsible way to spend our money. What if we told you that you shouldn't feel bad about your guilty pleasures and that they are actually fantastic for you? Keep reading to discover why you should indulgeoccasionally.

Psychologists say that buying things for yourself can make you feel better because it gives you a chance to take control of your situation. It can also give you social contact and a confidence boost from changes you make to your self-image. When you feel under the weather, treating yourself might be the lift you need. When you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself and maintaining a positive outlook.

Permitting yourself to enjoy things can help you deal with symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can even be a protective factor against depression. Life isn't easy, and when we're struggling, we need to be kind to ourselves. Indulging in the things that bring us joy can envelop us in comfort during tough times. As long as your guilty pleasure is harmless, there is no reason not to do it. Our brain's neural pathways light up when we do things we enjoy. This makes it easier to gain feelings of happiness.

As we said earlier, guilt and happiness can be mixed up in our minds. Rather than fighting them or trying to replace them, welcome them. Eventually, embracing these feelings can enhance your overall well-being and happiness.

However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. "My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you'll get a pretty exact result," she said.

Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people's homes, which helped her reconnect with people. "Feeding people is such a universal love language," she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn't put ‘quit drinking' on her resume.

Deegan's life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. "People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it's just been so magical seeing that," she said.

When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. "You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work andyou' ve got a job," Deegan told the reporter.
