This world is not really peaceful. The heartbroken scenes in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine are 1 day by day. I cannot help thinking about my unique family situation. I am the father of two adopted boys, one from Russia and the other from Ukraine, and I 2 them when they were very little. 

Young men now, each 3 his way in life, but they still carry a strong 4 of their origins, although Alyosha less so than Anton. While Alyosha does not often 5 the land of his Russian birth, Anton's feelings for Ukraine run deep: When Crimea (克里米亚) joined Russia in 2014, Anton was 17. 

I'm grateful that 6 the conflict, they behave as if their 7 is one of blood. 

In addition to 8 , another word comes to mind: absence. I often see crowded 9 of mothers and children everywhere, huddled (蜷缩) in dark and 10 spaces on the news now. But my boys aren't there. I also often see children crying as they hug tightly fathers who must 11 themselves to wars. But my sons are here, and I am available to them. 

Especially, in these 12 times, when it is easy to draw battle lines and take 13 events have, instead, pushed my sons 14 together. Staring at them, I realize that I am not looking at a Russian and a Ukrainian; I am looking at two people who love each other so much that doing the other 15 is unthinkable. 

Self-love

We all have the thought of having satisfactory relationships, which will bring some meaning to our lives and make us happy.  However, we often forget that true happiness lies right within us, that is, we needn't go anywhere to find it. 

 By now we have heard more than a million times that true happiness lies within ourselves. You have to love yourself first in order to love someone else. Many people say self-love is the foundation of a happy life. But have you ever wondered that with so many preachers (传道者) of self-love, why haven't we been able to love ourselves? 

We have been taught to be selfless from the start of time. The minute we start thinking about ourselves, everyone around us makes it their personal mission to remind us of how selfish we are. But there is nothing wrong with putting your needs and yourself first.  It only helps us better understand which sacrifices are worth making! 

 The stronger your roots are, the more difficult it will be for winds to knock down the branches. Before exploring this view, it is very important to understand what self-love truly means. With such a thin line between being ruthless (冷酷无情的) and self-loving, it is too easy to trip over the darker side. 

A. Self-love is not selfish. 

B. Yes, that's right. 

C. No, that's ridiculous

D. Self-love is always criticized. 

E. We are busy in finding true happiness everywhere. 

F. Self-love is the root of all your healthy relationships. 

G. Below is one of the reasons for our failure to love ourselves: 

In an "always on" world, we worry about the burdens that are shouldered by the teens and their peers (同龄人). 

Teens tell us about significant stresses that come with trying to be a "good friend" in the age of social media. Friendship requires both public and behind-the-scenes support. Even before a social media post is made public, close friends can be pulled into photo selection, editing, and final checking. Once posts appear, friends are expected to step up and fast. Liking posts is the minimum requirement. A seventeen-year-old told how liking a friend's post immediately set off a direct message asking her why she hadn't commented yet. Then she had to comment on it. To many teens, the time between a message being read and commented matters a lot. Replying too quickly can be seen as over-eager, especially when the friendship is new or not close. But when it's a close friend, too long a lag (间隔) can be hurtful. One teen told us, "If I don't stay connected on the line, the friendship will fall apart."

Teens also bear the burden of bearing constant witness to peers' mental health struggles on public display. Certainly, the "wonderful" quality of social media posts-everyone is apparently living their best life-can be hard for some teens. But there's a kind of emotional impact that comes as teens see peers' cutest pictures dotted with cries for help. 

The qualities that make or break friendships are actually the same as they've always been: mutual (相互的) sharing of joys and sorrows, a give and take of support, and an ability to weather and resolve conflicts. But technologies have transformed how friendships play out. Social media increases the burdens that come along with being a good friend. Too often, these dynamics hit teens hard in ways that are lost on adults. We need that to change. 

QR codes are almost 30 years old, but they're only recently enjoying a renaissance (复兴). For years, they were inconvenient and confusing, seen as a less-useful form of bar code. Now, QR code myths accompanied the rapid rise of QR codes, and these are still making a hit online. 

Payment code, business card code, health code, campus code, ride-sharing code…QR codes have entered every corner of Chinese life. During the COVID-19, about 140 billion QR codes were used on WeChat alone. That's just from one QR code payment system in one country. What about others in different parts of the globe? In the US, 59%of Statista survey respondents felt that QR codes would become a permanent element of using their mobile phones in the future. 

Some people are hesitant to scan a QR code, thinking that it could steal their private information or that it would leave bad software on their devices. But just like how the 5G rumors have come and gone, it's high time that we broke these myths, so those who are misguided will fully understand the benefits of QR codes. 

    Can hackers "hijack" a QR code so it would lead to a pirated (盗版的) site instead？While dynamic QR codes are editable, only their creators can change their landing page on the QR code generator's dashboard. Hackers would need the creator's log-in password to access the dashboard and change the QR code's destination, and they cannot easily steal that information. Also, each QR code has a unique pattern that makes it impossible for anyone to steal it and change its destination link. 

    This led to the idea that the QR codes are "80%consumed"and that by 2025, people can no longer create new ones since all the possible patterns would have been used by then. 

Will the QR codes that drive a large part of China's economy be used up? The answer is: yes. But there is always some way to solve this issue. 

There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Time's Best-Selling author, has found success in many aspects, but it wasn't always like this. King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2 years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had abandoned his family. 

This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn't even able to speak a single word, it seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward. It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him. 

King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入伍) again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn't see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things. 

People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature, in fact whenever Stephen's mom used to go out, she didn't hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King's love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha. 

In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel "Carrie", which is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter, and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions.

Jean's dream was to be a great chef, so when she was 20, she travelled to France, which has the most famous cuisine in the world, to learn to cook. After twelve years, she was among the best.

Her father, Bob, was getting old, and she wanted to be near him. Jean accepted an offer from one of Washington's top restaurants. The manager offered her a handsome salary, and 30% ownership of the restaurant. The next day, Jean went to sign the contract. As she got out of the car, she caught sight of a green sunshade. Instead of going to meet the manager, she crossed the street towards the old restaurant, Fargonetti's. She pushed open the door and the memories came flooding back.

Jean's mum died when she was just 11, and her father lost his job and was forced to take on odd jobs to make ends meet. Money was very short. When Jean turned thirteen, Bob had made a reservation at Fargonetti's, the capital's best restaurant.

"I'm not hungry, baby girl. I had a huge breakfast," Bob said. "This is all for you!" "Oh," Jean cried. "Daddy was so silly! He's been saving to come here for lunch for MONTHS and now he ruined his appetite with breakfast!" The waiter, Carl Bader, immediately realized what was going on and went to Mr. Fargonetti, the restaurant owner, and told him about Jean and Bob.

An hour later, surprisingly, the waiter brought wonderful dishes and set them before the father and daughter. "Lunch is on the house with Mr. Fargonetti's compliments (致意) Carl said. For Bob and Jean, it was a free but magical meal. They were on cloud nine when they walked out "Jean," said Bob happily. "I feel our luck has changed!" And it did! The next day, one of Bob's old friends called and offered him a job at a new magazine, and Jean believed Fargonetti's had made it all happen. That was when she decided to become a chef!

Twenty years later, the old restaurant looked run-down and depressing, but Jean recognized the waiter immediately. "Carl?" she asked delightedly.

Welcome to Our Swimming Pool

Dear fellow students,

"Long Chenchen," the mascot for China's upcoming Dragon Spring Festival Gala, has been designed and released recently as a cute yet lively dragon (celebrate) the year

2024. The seemingly cute-looking dragon takes inspiration from Chinese archaeological discoveries. The design of its nose (inspire) by a dragon-shaped jade item that was discovered in the Erlitou Ruins, major site in Luoyang, Central China's Henan province that witnessed the rise and fall of the Xia and Shang dynasties. The fire shape pattern on (it) shoulder originated from a bronze piece with cloud patterns dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period, multiple materials appeared and social changes were underway.

receiving many likes, the mascot has also sparked criticism. Some netizens doubt the dragon character might have been synthesized (合成) by artificial intelligence. CMG, a design studio, (admit) that it has some "imperfections", said it was created by designers "one stroke after another" and that "all the (feature) about the dragon, deluding its patterns, colors and face, have been revised by designers through a lot of versions."

The design has become one of the (hot) topics on Sina Weibo and has been commented by more than 200 million netizens. " it was created by AI or human beings, the mascot has successfully delivered the spirit of the dragon." a netizen posted on Sina Weibo.

Some years ago, 1 was stuck on a crosstown bus during rush hour. The bus was filled with cold, tired people 1 with one another. Two men 2 at each other for an unintentional push. An elderly woman got on, and nobody offered her a 3 . Anger was in the air; no 4 could be found here.

As the bus approached Seventh Avenue, the driver's words came from the speaker. "Folks," he said. "I know you've had a (n)5 day and that you are depressed, but I will6 . When each of you walks by before getting off, drop your7 into my palm(手掌). My route goes right by the Hudson River, into which I'll8 them."

It seemed as if a spell had lifted. Everyone burst out laughing, their faces shining with9 . The passengers who had been10 each other's existence were suddenly grinning (咧嘴笑) at each other — is this guy serious?

At the next stop, just as 11 , the driver held out his hand, palm up, and waited. All 12 passengers performed the gesture of dropping something into his palm. The driver 13 the same action at every stop that followed.

Occasionally we may sink into a gray world, but someone can 14 it like a ray of light，showing us hope. What if we are the light? 15 , anyone possesses the power to shine on others, dark days.
