We were considering making an incredibly English magazine, and without hands-on experience we didn't know how to start it. To get professional instructions, we left for Beijing to visiting a chief editor of Beijing Review, the famous English journal. Although he was busy, he showed me around, explaining us the amazing history of the journal and its production process. Besides, he offered us lots of practical and valuable informations. What make us especially happy was that when he promised to give us continuous guidance. Filling with confidence, we are now beginning to handle our magazine.

Have you ever wished your vacation could meet all your(expect)? Well this is possible when you choose(go) on a cruise (游轮). Recently, cruises have become(popular) places than traditional forms of traveling.is not necessary to make reservations at different hotels, find places to dine, or arrange different transports in advance. Everything you can imagine is available whenever you want it on suchcruise ship.

Cruise ships are like miniature (小型的) cities on water. They are(full) loaded with restaurants serving all kinds of dishes. The staterooms (特等客舱) can be compared to rooms(find) in five-star hotels. The big difference isyou get to have a moving ocean view. What's more, there are activities designed for people of all ages and interests, and(vary) sports facilities like gyms and rock climbing walls as well as clubs and shops are also accessible. Quality entertainments like Broadway shows and live music(provide), too.

Around Thanksgiving, I flew to visit my family. A woman across the aisle 1 to push her suitcase into the tight overhead bin. When we landed, she was pulling, but the suitcase didn't 2 . I asked if I could help, 3 she replied, "It'll come. I got it in, and there has to be a way to get it out."

Her calmness and confidence 4 me, striking me as a recipe for cultivating (培养) resilience (抗逆力) in life. Resilience is the ability to 5 challenging circumstances, refocus and find ways back into a positive life. The woman's reaction to her 6 luggage was a beautiful example of cultivating resilience: "7 seeing crises as unsolvable problems."

The 8 situation might not be a "crisis", but you know how 9 a plane aisle can be when everyone is trying to get off the plane. The woman kept herself 10 by recognizing her problem had a solution.

The 11  reminded me of something that happened to me this past fall, when I took a solitary (单独的) hike along a rocky ocean path. I was enjoying myself in the fresh air, feeling12  as I picked my way from rock to rock and congratulating myself when I reached the end of the dock. Then I turned around and saw how 13  I had traveled, I felt myself slipping into nervous self-doubt. What if I 14  and twisted my ankle?

I took a deep breath and, like the woman on the 15 , realized with relief that I could certainly make it 16 . When I finally stepped back onto the shore, I not only felt 17 , but also confident and accomplished.

When 18 plant seeds of "I can't" in your mind, maybe you'll remember the woman on the plane. Wherever life has brought you, consider that there is a 19 to come back to yourself. You have the power of resilience within you whenever you are 20 it.

While sweat serves as the built-in air conditioner, sweating it out can have many: other surprising health benefits. 

It Eases Pain

Did you wake up with back pain?  Then the best way to relieve your pain is to work up a sweat. It might be very tempting to skip this step since pain will make you want to sit still. But actually increasing your heart rate and working up a sweat is one of the best things you can do for your pain while sitting around will just make you even more stiff and sore.

It Gets Rid of Toxins(毒素)

Our bodies are subject to a lot of toxins throughout our everyday lives. Sweating is a great way to expel (排出) those toxins from the body, which serves to better your immune system. It can also help get rid of substances like alcohol and salt.

Along with the sense of accomplishment from working out, working up a sweat releases endorphins (内啡肽), which make you happy. Sweating helps relieve stress and promote relaxation. Next time you're feeling stressed out or need a break to clear your mind, think about hitting up a hot yoga class or taking a few minutes for yourself in the sauna (桑拿) to ease your mind,

It Helps You Avoid Kidney Stones

One of the lesser-known benefits of sweating is that it lowers the risk of getting kidney (肾) stones. Research has shown that sweating helps you get rid of salt and keep calcium in your bones.  The more frequently you find yourself sweating, the better.

A. It Makes You Happier

B. Are you sore from yesterday's workout?

C. Pain is usually caused by toxins produced in the body.

D. Here are some top benefits of sweating in summer.

E. Sweating also helps prevent pollutants from entering the body.

F. This helps keep those elements from your kidneys where small stones will form.

G. They come from the pollution in the air, our food, and are created naturally in the body.

Mosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease.

For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. "But that approach is temporary," says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, "Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound."

Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.

To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It's passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. "If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease," he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.

To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.

It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.

James' team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in another isolated location.

But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. "There's no need to engineer a mosquito," says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. "Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can't be recalled once it's released into the wild?" she asks.

During the 1930s, the Great War broke out. A 25-year-old American soldier, probably never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.

One night while the American unit was returning to the base after a bloody fight, Suleyman stumbled into the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush. Being stuck between two choices either its enemy or an animal, Suleyman found a five-year-old girl from the bushes shivering with cold and utmost fear. Due to the atrocity of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.

During the war, it was impossible to find the child's family so Suleyman took this little French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which means like the flower. Soon, Flora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.

For one and a half years, Flora and Suleyman became inseparable; however, every fairy tale comes to an end. When the war ended, Suleyman was sent back to USA, while Flora was put in an orphanage, the Normandy School, which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.

For years, Suleyman always thought about Flora. When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.

At the age of 85, Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials. After hearing his story, a French journalist started to investigate the story, and all government files were read in detail. The moment the journalist helped dial the number, in tears, Flora said Suleyman was her hero, and everything came flooding back to her.

I have been worrying for weeks now about what to give my mother for Mother's Day. For most people, this is a modest problem, solved by the purchase of a bathrobe or a box of candy. For me, however, Mother's Day represents an annual challenge to do the impossible—find a gift that will make neither Mama nor me feel terrible.

Expensive gifts which Mama defines as costing over $10 are out, because they make Mama feel terrible. "This is awful, " she once said, examining an apron. "I feel just terrible. You shouldn't have spent that much on it." Inexpensive presents - under $10—please Mama, but they make me feel terrible.

The story always goes this way: a gift given to Mama will bounce swiftly back to me. If I buy her something wearable, she perceives in an instant that it could be let in here, let out there, and it would fit me perfectly. If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home and root in a glass of water. If I give her something edible, she wants me to stay for lunch and eat it.

Papa, a sensible man, long ago stopped trying to shop for Mama. Instead, on Mother's Day, her birthday, and other appropriate occasions, he composes a short romantic poem in which he tells of their meeting, unforgettable things, and marriage. After nearly 30 years of poems, Papa sometimes worries that the edge of his poetic inspiration has dulled, but Mama doesn't complain. She comes into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says, "It doesn't have to rhyme as long as it's from the heart."

This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama. I am going to give her a magazine article, unrhymed but from the heart, in which I wish her "Happy Mother's Day" and tell her there's nothing Papa or I could ever buy, find, or make her that would be half good enough anyway.

When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed something strange just before going off duty at 1 1 am. I put down the tray (托盘) on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first, I didn't care as I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming and running madly.

At that moment, I realized that an earthquake was happening. My first thought was to rescue my patient and protect myself. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered.

As I was afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy, our head nurse, I found her patient couldn't walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check if anyone was left behind in our sickroom.

Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other sickrooms with him to help more patients and medical workers. So we followed him together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with broken stones, luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.

Body language is an important part of  (communicate). If you wish to communicate well, then it makes sense to understand how you can use your body to say what you mean.

Different culture usually makes different body language. Chinese often greet others with a firm handshake, but Americans like a loving hug instead. Russians like to kiss on their  (friend) cheek. Some body language also have  same meaning in different countries  we speak different languages. Smiling is one of them. Take care  your body language, then you may make a good impression.

Body language (use) by people for sending messages to one another. It is very useful because it can help you make yourself easily (understand). When you are talking with others, you are not just using words, but also using expressions and gestures. For example, waving one hand (be) to say "Good-bye." A smile and handshake show welcome, and (clap) hands means congratulations. Nodding the head means agreement, but shaking the head means disagreement. The gestures are accepted both by Chinese and foreigners as having the same meanings.

When you use a foreign language, it is very important to know the meanings of  (gesture) and movements in the foreign country.

I had spent some time in the morning talking to my granddaughter about being "generous". She had a lot of chocolates. I asked her if she had thought about how she was going to 1 her good fortune with her sister? "No!" she said.

That's why I 2 her to share, and why it's good to be generous. Not sure if she was convinced, we then 3 out on the town, in Sydney. I wanted to show her Chinatown and shop at the markets.

After shopping I took her to a 4 . She is a fussy (挑剔的) eater. She was having a good time and even tried some new 5  while I taught her how to 6  chopsticks.

I noticed a man sitting near me having lunch Then he got up to 7  and upon leaving he paid for our 8 . The shop owner checked with us if that was OK. I was so 9 . Then he was gone before I really had 10  to thank him. My 9-year-old granddaughter was really 11  by this. We were then also gifted dessert by our waitress. Good 12  came in pairs.

Upon leaving I 13 them $5. Then I said to my granddaughter "we don't really need a 14 lunch, do we? So now we have to pay our good fortune forward to someone else." She got money 15 and was looking for a homeless person.

Reasons to Put on Your Rollerblades and Hit the Pavement

Rollerblading (旱冰) is great for building balance, strengthening muscles, and improving mental health. It's also a cheap, fun, and eco-friendly way to get your daily exercise in.

It's fun

We all know that we should be exercising several times a week, and picking a workout that is fun naturally motivates us to get up and get going.  The top benefit of rollerblading is exercise in ways that are fun, soul-filling, and mental health-improving.

It's cheap

Rollerblading is also a great exercise choice because it costs very little. There's no need to pay for a monthly gym membership or expensive equipment. Rollerblades cost a lot less than a bike.

It's eco-friendly

Rollerblading is much faster than walking and can take you up to ten miles. Maybe that's why some Viennese citizens are choosing to use this sustainable (可持续) activity for their means of transportation.

Skater and climate activist, Gerhard Ladstatte explains why he started Friday Night Skating, a free street skating event. "We want to move without burning fuel." People looking for an oil-free way to get to a workplace that isn't too far from home, while combining daily exercise into their routine, can consider rollerblading to work.

It's good for your mental health

Like any form of aerobic exercise, skating is associated with a number of wellness benefits.  By fixing your attention on both the body and its surroundings, you can shift focus away from negative thought patterns and anxieties. Rollerblading can also increase self-confidence and positive feelings.

A. In other words, rollerblading has it all.

B. Exercise and fresh air can reduce stress.

C. Not only is skating cheap, it also benefits nature.

D. All you need is a pair of skates and some safety equipment.

E. Rollerblading is an exciting way to get in fresh air and exercise.

F. It's easy to see why so many people are discovering the joys of skating.

G. Unlike a bicycle, you don't need to find a place to store your skates while you work.

Humans spend about one third of their lives sleeping. But some mammals (哺乳动物), like the northern elephant seal, survive with much less sleep.

Researchers in a new study described the unusual sleep pattern of these ocean animals. They found that when these mammals go to feed on trips that can last seven months, they sleep just two hours each day. Those two hours of sleep are made up of short moments of rest lasting only 10 minutes each as they dive deep to avoid predators (捕食者). The only other mammals known to get so little sleep are African elephants.

The researchers placed a head covered with sensors on the heads of the seals that they studied. The sensors recorded sleep signals created by the seals' brains and heart rate. The sensors also recorded the animals' location and depth beneath the sea.

The researchers studied female seals because they go out on long open-ocean trips while males feed in coastal waters.

During dives lasting about 30 minutes, the seals went into a deep sleep called slow-wave sleep while keeping a controlled downward movement. When they then experienced rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, the seals fell into a turning pattern. Then, at the deepest point of their sleeping dive—up to 377 meters deep—they wake up and swim back to the surface.

Terrie Williams is a scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz who helped write the study. She said, "It is remarkable that a wild animal will fall into deep, paralytic REM sleep when there are predators on the hunt." She added that the seals solve this problem by going into deep sleep in the deep parts of the oceans where predators usually do not hunt them.

Williams said the brain's ability to control awakening the sleeping seals at a depth before they drown is also a discovery about how mammalian brains work. She commented on this saying that it shows the survival control of the seals' brains.
