I'm an animal lover and I've brought home dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and fish, but2 a goat. I decided to3 the baby goat. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my4.

Quincy proved to be quite5. When he was about a week old, I hit my fingers lightly on the bathroom floor and said "Lie down!" I was greatly surprised when he dropped down. I was even more6 when he repeated it three times.

A quick study, Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He will7 into the back of my SUV when I say "Load up!"

He knows the name of everything I feed him (apples, water, carrots, and strawberries), and even joins us for trips to the dog park.

I love to8 animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks (戏法). Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few9 then, but he did them very well and never got10 in front of the crowd.

Now he can play many tricks: He'll shake feet,11 when called, walk on a leash (牵狗的皮带), wave, and smile for the camera when I say "12!". Quincy and my dogs13 regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even "read" his tricks from cue cards (提示卡), which always14 the most applause (掌声).

It's hard to believe that the goat kid nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured15 I've ever had.

Many factors (因素) influence when and how a person loses weight. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in daily. However, exercising or taking part in other physical activities will help you burn more calories. It's also important to always ask your doctor about your choices and what methods will be most helpful for your body. Some medical conditions require extra considerations.

Genetics (遗传学) also plays a factor in how successful an individual's diet and exercise plan is. In one study, researchers discovered that genes could account for up to 80% of a person's tendency (倾向) to be overweight.

Eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise are important to maintain your health and wellness. The latter reduces risks of having heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).

While exercising is great for your health, it's not always a choice for everyone. Gym memberships can also be costly and some people just simply don't have the time they need to dedicate (把……奉献给) to a regular fitness routine (常规). You may have a hard time losing weight quickly and safely without exercise, but it is possible.

A. You can lose weight by eating less without exercise.

B. Some kinds of nutrients prove to contribute to mental health.

C. However, diet and exercise doesn't always ensure weight loss.

D. It is unbelievable that some people eat much but still keep slim.

E. Some people find exercising challenging due to a lack of interest in it.

F. Getting the right nutrients (营养物) in your body fuels your cells and helps you feel better.

G. Other findings show that genes are helpful for determining a person's ability to build muscle mass (肌肉量).

A higher percentage of teenagers who experienced the long-term absence (缺席) of a parent had more emotional or behavioral problems than those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research that found a high percentage of emotional problems in teenagers who often returned to an empty house after school.

Findings also suggest that parents don't have to be home all the time, but it helps to be home at certain times. And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant.

Many parents of teenagers have known this to be true and find ways to be present without trying to start a conversation. One friend of mine quietly does housework each evening in the sitting room where her teenagers watch TV. They enjoy each other's company without the need to talk. Another friend usually accepts his daughter's invitation to work or read nearby while she sits and does her homework. Perhaps, that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close.

In fact, many years of research suggests that children use their parents as a safe base from which to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children quietly follow their parents' movements from room to room, even while going on with their own activities. Perhaps our teens, like babies, feel most at ease when their parents are still around. They don't want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom.

A new school year is at hand, so as parents we could offer our teenagers a "potted flower" as a gift, whose quiet and steady (稳定的) presence will give them a great day.

The U.S. Geological Survey has a landslide research program, but most universities don't. American research universities generally avoid training students to do this type of work.

One reason for this lack of research is money. U.S. federal funds for biomedical research rose to more than $25 billion a year between 1990 and 2000 and have stayed high. On the other hand, funding for everything else—physics, environmental sciences, other life sciences, mathematics and even computer science — has remained mostly flat (没有变化的). Environmental science regularly has received less than $5 billion a year.

Another problem is that slides are hard to study. The basic idea is simple: A hillside becomes weak when the force of gravity (地心力) becomes stronger than the forces holding it together. But because rocks and soils are highly changeable, telling when a particular hill will give way is almost impossible. It's hard to publish unclear results, so scientists may choose other research topics that seem more promising.

Scientists also like to accept things they find interesting, and slides appear to fall short. Many researchers think of their work as a kind of detective story, where "interesting" means understanding a hidden process. But slides aren't hidden. They happen quite clearly on the surface, and the processes are in some ways obvious.

I don't blame scientists for wanting to study things they find fascinating. A lot of good work has been driven by mystery (神秘事物). But researchers have to find a way to balance love of mystery with a need to solve pressing problems such as the slippery ground under our feet.

The 19-year-old hopes that all the competitors will hit their targets at the Asian Games—but, most of all, enjoy the experience in one of China's most scenic (风景优美的) cities.

"I wish the Hangzhou Asian Games great success, and I hope all the athletes can realize their dreams in Hangzhou," said Guan, who is now studying at Zhejiang University after retiring from the national team.

Guan became well-known in China after winning the women's balance beam (平衡木) gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, but in 2022 left the national team to attend university. Although training was tough back then, Guan admits she often misses her former life.

Guan never competed at the Asian Games as an athlete, but finally got the chance to take part this year — as one of the torchbearers (火炬手).

"I'm so happy and proud to take part in the event in this way. This is also great recognition for me," Guan told China Daily.

Guan was born in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, but now considers Hangzhou her hometown. After training in the Zhejiang capital for years, she finally became a resident and university student there.

"It's a totally new experience in university and I have more time to explore new things, especially the city of Hangzhou," Guan added.

Guan plans to keep a close eye on the artistic gymnastics competitions, which begin on Sunday, hoping, of course, for home glory.

"I keep close contact with my former teammates and some younger athletes. I know how hard they have trained for the Games, and I always send them messages of encouragement." said Guan.

"I'm also interested in events like diving, swimming, gymnastics, table tennis and badminton. I really like swimmer Wang Shun and diver Quan Hongchan. I wish all of them the best of luck at the Asian Games," she said.

"Sports and artistic gymnastics have taught me a lot. I have learned how to be independent (独立的) and how to become a better person—more responsible and more strong-willed," she said. "I hope more people can join us."

1. Put down your phone!

Animals want our attention, and sometimes they're quite open about asking for it. Antics (滑稽可笑的举止) are often our pets' way of telling us to stop what we're doing and play with them. It's why your dog always runs after his tail and why your cat keeps rolling around.

2. Feed me.

Sure, your dog loves you, but that's not why he's licking (舔) your face. A baby dog learns to lick his mother's mouth to get a little leftover (吃剩的) food, so your dog isn't kissing you in our sense of the word. He just wants meal.

3. I'm stressed.

Cat owners also misunderstand their furry friends' kisses. While a cat might lick you to show her love, sometimes she'll do it to comfort (抚慰) herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is whether it goes on for a long period of time. Some birds will even pull out their own feathers when they feel anxious.

4. But I do need alone time.

If your dog seems frightened (because he's hiding, say, or breathing too loudly), but showing no obvious signs of danger, try giving him a break from people—yourself included. Even the most attention-hungry dog can benefit from having a calm space of his own to relax in, even if it's just a wooden box.

5. A storm is coming.

When your dog rushes out suddenly, pay attention. Even if you see clear skies, your dog might be sensing air pressure changes or even smelling the coming rain. The Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour found that dogs can sense earthquakes up to 20 hours ahead of time.

One sunny day in Mixenden, Rose, the little dog, was having fun with her young owner, Jack, near Dudley Crescent. They were playing fetch with her favorite ball. Rose loved chasing it! But this time, the ball bounced too close to some big, jagged rocks. Rose, excited and focused on getting her ball, didn't see the danger. She ran after it and vanished straight down a very narrow crack between the rocks. She fell a scary 40 feet deep into the dark hole below. Jack was horrified.

Rescue teams quickly arrived: firefighters, animal rescuers, and even experts who know about deep holes. They looked down the dark, tight space. It looked very dangerous. They sadly decided that trying to rescue Rose was too risky. They didn't think anyone could safely get her out. They gave the terrible news: Rose probably wouldn't survive and they could do nothing for her. Hope seemed very small.

Jack's heart was breaking. He couldn't believe his little dog was trapped deep underground and everyone said there was no hope. He wouldn't accept it. While the rescue teams sadly packed up, Jack stayed. He found a shovel and started digging near the rocks where Rose had fallen. It was back-breaking work. The ground was hard as stone. Sweat poured down his face, and his hands became sore and blistered. He dug fiercely, calling Rose's name down the dark hole. He had to get to her.

After hours of exhausting work alone, Jack had an idea. He pulled out his phone. With shaking, dirty hands, he took pictures of the deep crack and the spot where he was desperately digging. He wrote a heartfelt message: "This is my dog, Rose. She fell down this hole. They say it's too dangerous to save her. I'm her owner, and I can't leave her. I'm digging her out, but I need help. Please, can anyone help us? Share this!" He posted this plea on social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

The Hongkou District Sports Festival, aiming to establish Shanghai's Ruihong Tiandi as an integrated sports and( consume) centre, kicked off on July 5.( span )58 days through August 31, the event capitalizes on its peak summer season to engage all age groups with 13 major competitions and 45 sporting disciplines.

( structure) around three main activity pillars — competitive sports events, community competitions and recreational sports activities — the festival featured national, city, and district-level sporting events. These included a national Go championship hosted by the Chinese Weiqi Association, a Shanghai amateur fencing open organized by the China Sport School Federation, a youth jump rope competition talented students demonstrated their athletic abilities.

Since its launch, more than 200 experiential activities, followed by a tech-integrated sports zone added in mid-August,( develop) for the festival through its partnership with Decathlon.

To boost commercial cooperation, organizers team up 100 local restaurants and 39 sports venues, launching discount packages with parking privileges. A cutting-edge virtual carnival demonstratesenhanced reality technology transforms athletic experiences, operating daily from 7:00 am until 2:00 am( serve) diverse schedules.

This extended framework of the Hongkou Hazhajin Sports Festival promotes sports-retail integration and stimulates district-wide economic vitality, with each goal (respective) in place.

Both are1 in which bystander intervention could affect the outcome.2 however, when being faced with the realities of a given situation, we may not be sure at that moment how it would be best for us to react.

The good news is, there is a "popular myth" that when people are standing in a crowd and something bad happens, they are3 to react, says Alan Berkowitz, an expert on the bystander effect. However, the latest research shows that most people feel compelled (必须)   to help when they can. When they do not help, it is because they either do not feel they have the4 to do so or are unsure about safety.

Actually, you can prepare yourself to be an active bystander by5 the "Five D's" : distract, delegate (委托),document, delay or direct, says Thomas Vance, a certified counselor. "The key is to move from a ‘bystander' to an ‘active bystander' who chooses to challenge6 behavior."

Distraction is a good place to start. Take the example of the man who is verbally abusing his mother in the grocery store. An active bystander can7 intervene by asking the man how to choose a ripe watermelon. This can help to change the8, which may be able to significantly reduce the temperature of the encounter.

As another9, you can delegate, or ask someone else in the group to act. In a situation in which you are a witness to an act of violence, you can tell someone else to10 the authorities. Asking someone in the situation whether there is anything that you can do to help can also delay and therefore11 a situation.

Furthermore, you can videotape the behavior on your cellphone. Just being12 is another form of documentation, a way of showing a would-be perpetrator (作恶者) that you are there and are watching the situation unfold. In certain situations, however, giving direct feedback about how a given behavior makes you feel can also be helpful. But you have to be13 not to intervene in a way that could cause harm to you or the victim.

To sum things up, it is about14 the circumstances, because in the end, no two situations are alike. Anyway, it is best not to depend on others to be the active bystander, especially when you yourself have the toolsavailable in your bystander toolbox to15.

As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in its system. It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the ideas of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better.

According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors abroad to teach TCM.

The popular situation of TCM is not limited to schools and hospitals. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. There is a trend among young people to pay more attention to health conditioning and maintenance. However, experts remind that TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing (诊断) and treating based on determining symptoms (症状) . It is impossible to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to all patients.

​​​​​​​A. They highly recognized the effectiveness of TCM, especially its use in pain treatment.

B. Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it's best to make choices according to it.

C. Being broad and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy.

D. Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not uncommon.

E. This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China.

F. Many other Chinese medicine organizations have adopted similar strategic methods.

G. For example, some students find it difficult to master the philosophical ideas behind TCM.

Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is also changing the way we communicate and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognised features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.

"Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits," says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics (语言学) at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of email reflect a growing unconcern about the way we write.

Baron argues that we shouldn't forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email. "The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing," the professor says.

Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn't: it has made writing fashionable again.

"Email is a critical new communication technology." says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. "It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech."

Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email's close similarity to speech. "It's like a circle of four or five people around a campfire," he says.

Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. Emails sent in a day almost exceed (超过) the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognising the content of a typical email message is not often exact.

Generally, animals that live in cities tend to be bolder and more aggressive — both characteristics that enable them to survive in such complex habitats. "Individuals that can't deal with constant disturbance, such as noise, people, cars, etc., would be unlikely to thrive in an urban habitat," says Jeremy Hyman, a professor and department chair of biology at Western Carolina University.

Some birds may become more aggressive because cities are rich in food sources — and so there's strong competition to establish a foothold. "Only the most aggressive males can manage to hold a territory in this place where lots and lots of birds would like to have a territory," says Hyman.

But food scarcity may also make some urban species more aggressive, and so birds have to fight an awful lot in order to maintain a large enough territory to get the resources that they need. High levels of stress caused by noise and other factors might also play a role in making birds more aggressive, notes Hyman.

In some cases, aggression seems to be "a worthwhile cost," says Sarah Foltz, a behavioral ecologist at Radford University. However, a big unanswered question is whether birds learn to be aggressive during their lifetime. But what scientists do know is that some birds can be highly adaptable. "Aggression definitely has a genetic component to it," says Foltz. "But also, we know that when we change environmental factors, birds change their aggression."

Overall, Foltz says scientists are still trying to understand just how much urban density (密度) different species can tolerate and which characteristics of an urban environment influence aggressiveness the most. "We've got all these little pieces," she says, "But it's still coming to gather to make a bigger picture, so it's sort of an unfinished puzzle."
