Many things make the 2022 World Cup one of the most unique world cups in the history of football. Let's take a closer look at some of the most interesting facts about the 2022 World Cup that make it unique in every way.

1 Application of the new technology

Earlier this year Adidas revealed "Al Rihla," the official match ball of the 2022 World Cup. Al Rihla translates as "the journey" in Arabic and it is designed to support the highest game speeds as it travels faster in flight than any FIFA World Cup ball created before it in the tournament's 92-year history. The new ball features the latest Adidas Suspension System at its core, containing a motion sensor that tracks every touch of the game at a rate of 500 times per second.

2 Record number of visitors

One of the most interesting facts about FIFA 2022 in Qatar is the number of visitors expected to arrive in the country during the event. As expected, the 2022 World Cup Qatar will probably receive a record number of visitors by the time the tournament ends. The reason behind this is simple to understand. Being one of the best countries in the Middle East, Qatar is also located right in the center of the world and close to most of the countries in the world.

3 Stadium is equipped with Centralized Air Conditioning

While the World Cup is nearly impossible to hold during the summer given the fact that temperatures in Qatar can touch 50 degrees celsius, switching to the winter slot has brought some peace. However, is the problem solved？As far as winter is concerned, even daytime temperatures during winter can be quite high. Therefore, Qatar has found a solution to this. For the first time, the country host the World Cup in an air-conditioned stadium. All eight stadiums are fully air-conditioned, providing fans with a comfortable viewing experience.

Helen was a young girl. Her parents taught her to be kind, and she always was. And she lived a happy life. Unluckily, one day, her mother had an accident. Her right leg was hurt badly and needed an expensive operation.

Her family couldn't afford to pay for it. Although their friends and relatives all tried their best to offer help but it was far from enough. And they were unsure what to do next.

One day, walking down the street to a bookstore nearby, Helen noticed an old man trying hard to climb the steps to a nearby park. The old man with Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默氏症)left home days ago and ended up wandering around the streets while his son, Dr. Smith, a doctor of the City Hospital, had been trying to find him but in vain.

"He can't climb the steps. He looks so weak." Helen said to-herself. Without hesitation, she ran over to him.

"Sir, let me help you!"

The man made no response, then Helen repeated it. Slowly raising his head, the man looked at her, surprised. Helen gave him a smile and then helped him climb the steps. "Your hands are shaking!" Helen said anxiously. "Are you okay?"

"I'm so hungry," he murmured. "I want to walk…to the park for…a rest." After helping him sit on a park bench, Helen rushed home and returned with some food, only to find the man was lying on the ground, unconscious. "Sir, please wake up!" she cried in anxiety. "'What should I do?" she wondered.

Chinese structural biologist Yan Ning announced on November 1st, 2022 that she would resign  Princeton University in the US and join in the establishment of Shenzhen Medical Academy of Research and Translation (SMART) in the near future.

"In the near future, I will return to China full-time  (assist) in establishing a new research and development institution in Shenzhen called SMART,  (integrate) several functions including scientific research, transformation, education and financial support," Yan said at the Shenzhen Global Innovation Talent Forum.

While teaching at Tsinghua University in 2014, Yan Ning  (lead) a team to analyze the three-dimensional crystal structure of the human glucose transporter GLUT1 initially. After the achievement (publish) in Nature, it , (immediate) received widespread attention and praise from the international academic community.

Yan earned her Ph. D. at Princeton in 2004  returned in 2017 as the  (one) Shirley M. Tilghman Professor of Molecular Biology.

Yan said she wanted to support more outstanding  (scholar) and tackle the various health threats facing mankind. Shenzhen offered  right opportunity, and the city can build its place in the global biomedicine field, Yan said.

The wires, screens and batteries that make up our devices—not to mention the plastic, metal and other materials that package them—are filling up landfills. Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits, environmental sensors, and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment.

"It's these small batteries that are big problems," says public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who was not involved in developing the battery. "Nobody really pays attention to where they end up."

Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) are working to address this problem. Their new paper in Scientific Reports describes a paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.

The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has—a positively charged side called a cathode (正极), a negatively charged side called an anode (负极), and a conductive material called an electrolyte (电解质)between the two. A traditional battery's components are packaged in plastic and metal; in the new battery, the anode and cathode are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper is dampened with water. The resulting saltwater solution acts as the electrolyte.

When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Add just a couple of drops of water, however, and the salt dissolves, allowing electrons to flow. Once the paper is dampened, the battery becomes active within 20 seconds. The new battery's operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained functionality and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.

Will skipping breakfast make me fat?

The good news for those who don't have breakfast is that putting on weight isn't inevitable—as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.

Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch, this won't necessarily make you "fatter"—on average, those who skip breakfast don't eat more across the whole day than if they didn't skip it. Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall, and end up using your body's fat reserves for energy, which can actually help you lose weight.

However, weight isn't the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less. This may be because they have lower energy level—after eight hours or so without food, the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep. Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy, but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.

If you want to ensure that you eat a regular, nutritious breakfast, try preparing it the night before don't leave it until the morning, when your brain struggles to make good decisions.

If you do skip breakfast…

■Don't make up for it with a huge lunch, otherwise you'll suffer overeating.

■Make sure you eat something before you exercise, or you risk "hitting the wall".

■Don't make up for lack of energy with coffee—it can make you lose your appetite and make you anxious and nervous.

Imagine the most English-English person you can think of. Now I'm fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up, that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand, because that's what the English do. They carry on and they drink tea. Tea is so utterly English, such a rooted part of the culture, that it's also rooted in how everyone else around the world perceives that culture.

And while it's fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it's far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.

Travel back in time to 1662, when Catherine of Braganza (daughter of Portugal's King John IV) won the hand of England's newly restored monarch, King Charles II, with the help of a very large dowry (嫁妆) that included money, spices, treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay. This made her one very important lady: the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland.

When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry. A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked Transporte de Ervas Aromaticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs) later shortened to T. E. A．

That last bit probably isn't true (experts believe the word "tea" came from a Chinese character), but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country's direct trade line to China via Macau.

Here are some of the prettiest small towns across Europe, from humble fishing towns to hilltop medieval power bases.

Giethoorn, Netherlands

They call it the Dutch answer to Venice, but Giethoorn lacks one crucial thing that the Italian city has in spades: over tourism. As in Venice, life revolves around the water, here-there are no cars in the center so the only way to get around is on foot or on the water.

Roscoff, France

Port towns can be rather dirty. Not lovely little Roscoff, though, in France's Brittany region, which built its fortune on maritime trade. Today, it's a center of thalassotherapy, using seawater to treat medical conditions, as well as a beautiful Breton town. Tiny fishing boats rest in the small harbor—with a larger one, where ferries leave for Plymouth in the UK, further out.

Dinkelsbühl, Germany

A cute historic center, wooden houses and large towers—Dinkelsbühl has it all. Wrapped by medieval walls with a vast Gothic church, St George's Minster, it was the setting for Werner Herzog's film "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser."

Clovelly, UK

Donkeys used to be the only way to get up and down the steep streets of Clovelly, a pretty fishing village in Devon, southwest England.

Today, they still haven't managed to bring cars in —it sits at the bottom of a 400-foot cliff (悬崖). Instead, goods are transported by man-powered sledges (雪橇) and if tourists can't face the walk back up to the car park, they can grab a ride in a Land Rover instead.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been passed down for thousand of years. With an extensive and profound(意义深远的) culture, TCM is the treasure of Chinese civilization. It is not only widely used in Asia but also has become increasing popular in Europe and the United States. Frank Griffo is a acupuncturist(针灸师) in California whom completed his master's degree in TCM in 2005 at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco. She then spent seven years studied advanced acupuncture techniques and has been practicing for about 18 years. "There are more than 60,000 acupuncturists in the United States right now. Chinese medicine has been grown dramatically in the last 15 years. It is taking on a large role in our medical system here than before, as a safe method of treatment for many problems that Western medicine has difficulty providing good outcomes", he said in a video interview with China Daily," Acupuncture has been widely accepted in non-Chinese population but is popular in California.

An animated series featuring monster-like characters, or yao in Chinese, has won praise online adopting traditional Chinese culture and aesthetics(美学) in its animation and storytelling in a way that has resonated(共鸣) with many.

Yao-Chinese Folktales(《中国奇谭》) is eight-part series inspired by various traditional Chinese literature titles and showcases a range of artistic (style) such as paper cutting, watercolor painting, and computer graphics(绘图). The first episode(集) (base) on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, with characters preparing to capture a Tang dynasty Buddhist monk.

It is its plot which shows one of the characters being punished after their leader was dissatisfied with their work has resonated with a wide audience, (remind) them of dilemmas and suffering at the workplace.

The new series is part of the growing trend of Chinese animation turning to ancient Chinese legends and folktales for (inspire). Domestically produced animated films featuring classic figures such as Monkey King, Ne Zha, and White Snake (prove) to be big hits in recent years, with the latest release New Gods：Yang Jian amassing(积累) 550 million yuan in ticket sales last year.

Yao-Chinese Folktales was (joint) produced by Shanghai Animated Film Studio and streaming site Bilibili. Since it aired Sunday, the first two episodes (release) so far have gathered over 10 million views and it currently has a score of 9. 6 out of 10 on rating site Douban.

Wearing a new leather coat and pants, I walked in the street happily and could not help but whistle. The moment I was about to1a stone in front of my feet, something fluffy(毛茸茸的) next to it caught my2. It was a3and dirty sparrow(麻雀), shivering(颤抖) from head to toe.

"Oh, bad4!" I thought. Just as I was about to walk away, it cried5toward me. Its trembling call6every step I took. I had no choice but to walk back. "Hey, you fell out of your7, didn't you?" I picked it up, 8it in my palm. It continued tweeting(啾啾地叫)gently.

I couldn't leave it alone. I started my mission of. 9the little bird. Holding it, I looked carefully at the trees around me. I saw a bird's nest among the high10just above me. Placing one arm around the tree trunk and the other11the little bird, I attempted to climb up.

12, I reached the top and13the bird into the nest. I grabbed a branch and jumped down to the ground. My poor new14became dirty. I dusted it in distress. "What a mess," I said with a15.

Meanwhile, the bird tweeted merrily at me with a tilt(倾斜) of its head. My heart16. It was safe now, so I walked away to visit my friends. But its singing was still17behind me. I could not help but look back. I saw the little sparrow18its wings which seemed so weak among the big branches. For a moment I was shocked—a strange feeling19me. Something emerged in my mind. In my heart, a kind of20arose that had never, not once, appeared before.

Maybe you plan to ring in 2023 with a new resolve to lose weight, exercise more, not sweat the small stuff. And maybe these resolutions sound familiar—maybe just like the ones you made a year ago! So how can you ensure that your determination to get healthier in 2023 sticks?

Dream big. Want to compete in a marathon or triathlon? Lose 50 pounds or just enough to fit into clothes you once loved? With perseverance(毅力), encouragement, and support, you can do it. Many will cheer you on. Some will be happy to help in practical ways, such as by training with you or taking on tasks you normally handle in order to free up your time.

Any time you fail to make a change, consider it a step toward your goal. Why? Because each sincere attempt represents a lesson learned. When you hit a snag(碰钉子), take a moment to think about what did and didn't work. Maybe you took on too big a challenge?

Give thanks for what you do. Set your sights on finishing that marathon, not on running it. If you compete to complete, you'll be a winner even if you wind up walking as much as you run. With exercise—and so many other goals we set—you'll benefit even when doing less than you'd like to do. If your goal for Tuesday is a 30-minute workout at the gym, but you only squeeze(挤出) in 10 minutes, feel grateful for that. It's enough. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

A. Learn from the failures.

B. Avoid repeating past failures.

C. Any activity is always better than none.

D. An ambitious aim often inspires others to help you.

E. Try the following tips to help you create long-lasting change.

F. Having a solid system can help you stay motivated and accountable.

G. If so, change into a less ambitious challenge, or break the big one into tinier steps.

Plastic is everywhere. A lot of it ends up in the ocean. Most plastics in the ocean break up into very small particles called "micro-plastics"—less than five millimeters in length or about the size of a sesame(芝麻) seed. It is the most common type of marine debris(垃圾) found in the ocean. Plastic debris can come in all shapes and sizes and be harmful to our ocean and water life.

Micro-plastics come from various sources, including larger plastic debris that degrades into smaller pieces. In addition, micro-beads, a type of smaller micro-plastic, are very tiny pieces of manufactured polyethylene(聚乙烯) plastic added as exfoliants(去角质剂) to health and beauty products, like toothpastes. These tiny particles easily pass through water systems and end up in the ocean, posing a potential threat to water life. What is worse, these micro-beads or plastic particles in the marine environment are eaten by plankton(浮游生物), which are then eaten by fish. They continue to work their way up the food chain until they reach our dinner plates.

New research has shown that household dust is a more likely source of micro-plastics. According to researchers, 114 pieces of micro-plastic settle on a dinner plate during the 20-minute duration of a meal, adding up to anywhere between 13,000 and 68,000 pieces per year. And when you breathe in air, you could be breathing in the microscopic plastic particles as well.

How about drinking water? The non-profit journalism organization Orb Media tested 259 bottles of water bought from 9 different countries. The tests found that there was an average of 10. 4 plastic particles (0. 1 millimeters or larger) per liter of water. That level of micro-plastics in bottled water was double the level found in tap water. The findings suggest if you drink one liter of bottled water per day, you could be consuming tens of thousands of micro-plastic particles each year.

It is apparent that the problem of micro-plastics is still a huge one.

Children love getting dirty, with no regard for footwear or the color of their clothing. "Don't get dirty!" was once a constant family refrain, as parents despairingly (绝望地) watched their children spoil their best clothes. Whether they were running through farmers' fields or climbing trees, it was obvious that children's whites would turn brown before the day was over.

Today, many parents may secretly wish their children had the chance to pick up a bit of dirt. With the rise of urbanism(城市化), and the attraction of video games and social media, contact with nature is much rarer than in the past. For many, there is simply no opportunity to get muddy.

Many of the psychological benefits of outdoor play are already well established. Our brains evolved in natural landscapes. This means that natural scenes provide the perfect level of stimulation(刺激). which is thought to help recharge the brain when it is tired and easily distractible(注意力分散的). Supporting this theory, one study from 2009 found that children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)(注意力缺陷多动症) were better able to concentrate following a 20-minute walk in the park, compared to a 20-minute walk on the streets of a well-kept urban area. Being close to grass and trees seemed to have had a beneficial effect on their minds. The authors recommended using such "doses of nature" as a safe and accessible way of supporting children with ADHD, alongside other tools.

Outdoor play can also offer valuable learning experiences. For example, the act of shaping and stretching materials like mud or sand can help children develop the way their senses and movement interact, known as sensorimotor(感觉运动) development, according to the scientists at the University of Palermo, Italy. This allows the child to gradually understand his or her bodily signals.

Given the known psychological benefits, many day-care centers and schools are already encouraging greater contact with nature-with outdoor lessons, regular nature walks and the construction of mud kitchens that encourage children to play in the dirt.

"Legend", "hero" and "genius" are commonplace in footballing circles. The greatest of all time can be Pele, who remains the only player to have won three World Cups and almost reached a goal per game, scoring 1,279 in 1,363 appearances.

Born in Brazil in 1940, Edson Arantes do Nascimento was given the nickname Pele at school. Later, he played for local amateur teams throughout his youth and developed his skills as well as physical strength.

Pele signed professional papers in 1956, joining top-flight Brazilian side Santos FC. On his debut(首秀), he scored and by the following year, he was the league's top scorer and called up to the Brazilian national team. In 1958, he scored 58 goals in Santos FC-a record that remains unbeaten. In the same year, Pele made his World Cup debut and led Brazil to the champion, making him the youngest player to take part in, score in and win the final. On November 19, 1969, Pele scored his 1,000th goal in all competitions. Brazil won a third World Cup in 1970, with Pele scoring the opening goal in the final against Italy. He remained at Santos for 19 seasons, and retired from Brazilian club football in 1974.

The following year he signed for North American Soccer League side New York Cosmos. In his first public appearance in Boston, many fans crowded to the field when he scored, causing him injury and being carried from the field of play on a stretcher(担架). Pele's last professional match took place in August 1977, with Pele scoring his last goal, a free kick for Cosmos, from thirty yards.

Following his retirement from football, Pele dedicated his life to ambassador(大使) work, being appointed UN ambassador for ecology and the environment in 1992 and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador in 1994. University of Edinburgh awarded him an honorary degree for his contribution to humanitarian and environmental causes, as well as his sporting achievements, and an honorary knighthood followed, with Queen Elizabeth II presenting the honor in 1997.
