We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world's cities are jammed with traffic, creating poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be?

There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done?The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol. Here are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.

Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: "The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress cars. These will charge more quickly, and give cars a a bigger range."

Cost is another issue that may deter people switching to electric power. But some countries offer encouraging measures, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the Country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1,000 inhabitants.

But Colin Herron warns that "electric motoring" doesn't mean a zero-carbon future.

On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn't going to make it. Their twins -- a girl and a boy -- were born two minutes apart and exactly 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds respectively. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minute but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.

"I saw him gasp (大口嘴气), but the doctor said it was no use," Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. "I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn't going to give up easily."

Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.

"I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us," Kate told Today. "We'd resigned ourselves the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments."

Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his Shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition they then talked to him.

"We were trying to let him stay, " Kate told the Daily Mail. "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and that how hard we had tried to have him."

Then something unbelievable happened. Jamie gasped again and then he started breathing. Finally he reached for his father's finger.

The couple's lost boy had made it.

"We're the luckiest people in the world," David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. "Emily hardy-held back her tears," Kate said, "and she kept hugging Jamie with great affection. This whole experience makes you cherish them more." "They widened their eyes as if there were an apple in their mouths bearing the miraculous experience," David added.

Dramatic progress has been witnessed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which benefits from those great contributions some ancient famous doctors made ant some experience they accumulated. The following three stand out among the ancient famous doctors.

Hua Tuo

Hua Tuo (145—208), famous physician of the late Eastern Han dynasty, also named Fu, was born at Qiao County in Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). He led a simple life, away from fame and fortune. He would rather become a traveling physician for ordinary people.

Hua Tuo was an expert in several medical fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was the first person to perform surgery with the aid of anesthesia (by applying Ma Fei San, a herbal anesthetic he invented) some 1,600 years before Europeans did.

Zhang Zhongjing

Zhang Zhongjing (150—219), also known as Zhang Ji, was one of the most distinguished Chinese physicians during the later years of the Eastern Han dynasty. He lived in today's Nanyang in Henan Province. He was known as the "medical sage" by later generations due to his outstanding contributions to TCM.

During his time, with warlords (军阀) fighting for their own territories, many people were infected with fertility, an illness caused by fever. Zhang's family was no exception. The experience stimulated his motivation in medicine. He learned medicine by studying from his town's fellow Zhan Bozu, absorbing previous medicinal literature, collecting many prescriptions; and finally writing the medical masterpiece Shanghan Zabing Lun. Unfortunately shortly after its publication the book was lost during wartime.

Li Shizhen

Li Shizhen (1518—1593) was a famous medical scientist the Ming dynasty. He loved medicine from an early age and succeeded his ancestors as a doctor. He not only paid attention to accumulating experience in curing diseases, but also visited the famous mountains where medicinal materials were produced.

On this basis, it took 27 years to compile (编著) the pharmaceutical masterpiece, Compendium of Materia Medica, which is known as the "Encyclopedia of Ancient China" and has made an important contribution to the development of classical medicine China.

Amy Taylor had weathered some tough years. Her husband suffered a lot from kidney failure and in 2020, the poor mother 1  her job in the economic depression.

During the spring break, her 14-year old daughter, Emily Moore, took a part-time job, and 2  minimum wage. But before she could spend the money, Emily had an idea. The news in Kansas City that week had been filled with stories about a police officer, Jimmy Moss, who was badly hurt in a car accident in the line of duty. He was in 3  condition. Emily and her unemployed mother had never forgotten how 4  the police had been when Taylor was robbed in the street one day. Emily decided to 5  the money to Officer Moss's family. Her mom 6  agreed.

Taylor called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) donation. Moved by her 7 expression of thanks, the officers did what they do best-- they ________ 8 Taylor. When she explained the family's 9 , the officers could hardly believe it. "With her current financial 10 , we encouraged her to keep the money," the department later explained. "She 11 , saying the officer's family needed it and the police needed to know they were 12 ."

By then, that feeling of support was mutual. The police set up a GoFundMe page for Taylor, whom they named "The Woman with the Heart of Gold." As of January 11, 2023, they had 13 ＄165,405 Even better: Officer Moss, who had a 1 percent chance of 14 , is out of the hospital and 15 .

I had a dream from primary school: to work in television. My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, "You can do anything you want to do. " My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock-always there for me.

With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship（实习资格）in CBC or CTV. 

Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I'm new and they're new, so if I'm going to get to know one person at Global Television, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, "Good, Faye. That's exactly what you should do. "

With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly Mr. Slaight was on the phone. "I've heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o'clock on Monday or eleven o'clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better？" I caught him totally off guard. He stuttered（结巴）a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited.

I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said, "What do you want？"He sounded furious（狂怒的）but curious. "All I want is a chance to audition（试镜）. I just want you to know my face. That＇s all I＇m asking. "

I didn't know whether I'd ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, "Mr. Slaight wants to know if you'd like to come and audition for a new school life show. "I immediately answered, "Sure!"

Dear Bob,

Yours sincerely,

French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday tweeted（发推特）about his trip to China in three languages, namely French, Chinese and English. 

"From Beijing to Guangzhou, I have met students who are learning our language, （enthusiasm） young people, businessmen keen to innovate, and artists （inspire） by France. There is so much us to do together. Long live the friendship between China and France!" he tweeted.

In answering a question from a student of Sun Yat-sen University on how to prepare for the future, Macron highlighted learning  （capable）, critical thinking and self-confidence. 

Critical thinking and humanistic care（人文关怀） are necessary in addressing new technologies such as ChatGPT, he said, when  （address） the impact of artificial intelligence. 

He advised students not to resist new things. Technological transformation is affecting the way in  people learn and children grow. Technologies should be applied to serve humans instead of （allow） to drive society. This calls for open discussions which agree with moral principles, he said. 

April 7  （mark） World Health Day and Macron addressed question from a student on how to tackle challenges facing public health. He suggested the world unite around fundraising to reestablish a primary healthcare system, that free and open research be conducted, and  cooperation be carried out among different academic disciplines and countries. 

I'm a college professor teaching people how to think more creatively. Interestingly, this lifetime passion was 1  by a casual contest when I was a child. 

At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held a contest for the children-who could throw a cloth handkerchief the farthest. The first 2 , the little ones, took mighty wind-ups（挥臂动作）, but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and flew to the ground a few 3 in front of them. The crowd roared with laughter, and being 13, I didn't like adults laughing at us. 

It was 4 that using the same technique would not work. Suppose I 5 a rock inside the handkerchief? No, it was "throw a handkerchief", not a rock and a handkerchief. When they inspected it, I'd be 6 . Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least farther than the others, and when they 7 , people might not notice a small rock landing in the grass. I had a good chance of 8 with it.

However, I didn't want to win by cheating but to show the adults that a（n）9 could beat others at their own game. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. I 10 began tying knot after knot until it was the size of a large rock. I took a long wind-up and threw the 11 handkerchief which landed 60 feet away. The laughing 12 and everyone was dumbfounded. The 13 then ran to fetch it to examine how I'd cheated. "It's just the 14 , " he declared, holding it up and untying the knots. The adults applauded kindly and I felt proud.

I hadn't broken the rules, but I had broken the 15 ideas, which was the secret to creative thinking. 

Your colleague is the first one in and the last one to leave. They volunteer to take on every additional task that comes your team's way and they respond to emails within minutes. They're working all the time, whether from the office or from home. 

Dealing with a workaholic colleague can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to ease the negative effects of their behavior on yourself and your team. 

Depersonalize their actions.

While it's tempting to assume that your colleague is overworking in an attempt to outshine you, this is a classic example of a cognitive bias（偏差）. In social psychology, this refers to the tendency humans have to owe another person's actions to their character or personality, while crediting our own behavior to external or situational factors that are outside our control. Debias（消除偏见）your thinking by considering other reasons for their behavior. 

Resist peer pressure.

You may start comparing your capacity and output to theirs and wonder, "Am I really working hard enough?" Before you begin overextending yourself in an effort to "catch up", mind your mindset and be aware of extremist thinking. Taking time off for self-care isn't indulgent（纵容的）, rather it＇s a precondition for your performance.

Workaholics tend to have few boundaries. You'll need to play defense by managing their expectations around your response times and availability. Let's say your colleague asks you to turn around a project brief in less than 24 hours. You can push back and explain, "That's not possible. If you have this sort of task in the future, I'll need at least a three day's notice to work it into my schedule. " You might also advocate for better systems and processes that remove the need for excess effort.

Finally, remember to adjust your perspective on productivity. While it may be tempting to evaluate your daily success based on the number of hours you work, it's the quality of work you deliver that matters most. 

A. Set boundaries. 

B. Make lifestyle adjustments. 

C. In short, you're dealing with a workaholic, or a work enthusiast. 

D. The workaholic's behavior can affect our well-being for the worst. 

E. Being good at your job doesn't mean working more but producing results. 

F. Guilt can make it easy for you to fall into the same patterns as your colleague. 

G. In other words, your colleague is probably not overworking to frighten or exceed you.
