May 21st this year marks the first International Tea Day, which was named officially the United Nations on November 27th, 2019. To celebrate festival, a number of events took place at the Chinese Businessman Museum in Beijing on Thursday.

The chairman of the China Culture Promotion Society (address) the opening ceremony. "As a main promoter of the International Tea Day, the birthplace of tea and the (large) tea-producing country, China has a (responsible)to work with other countries to promote the healthy development of the tea industry. It can help to build a community with a (share) future for mankind," he said.

The "First International Tea Day Tea Road Cooperative Initiative" issued (发布) at the ceremony calls for people working in the tea industry to come together to promote international cooperation cultural exchanges. A four-year tea promotion —Tea Road Cooperative Plan — was also issued in accordance with the initiative.

(strengthen)the connection with young people, the event included a number of public promotional activities on social media, (invite) twenty-nine tea professionals from around the world to have thirty-six hours of uninterrupted live broadcasts.

The Chinese Ancient Tea Museum was officially unveiled (揭幕) at the ceremony, opening (it)first exhibition: The Avenue of Truth — A Special Exhibition of Pu'er Tea.

First, I passed through the rotunda (圆形大厅), which I had5 through many times before without ever truly looking at it. Then, I found a fashion6 made by students and took my time appreciating their7 and hard work.

Late, I was8 with a full-size copy of a large brontosaurus (雷龙). You wonder what that brontosaurus might have been thinking about before it9 and how it might have felt about living in an airport. You wonder what the10 might look like in the future. I waved to all the security cameras, hoping that there was someone11 on the other side, having a good laugh.

I12 my airport adventures that night. I thought little of the posts when my flight took off. By the time my plane13 , they were going viral. As a writer, I would have14 this to make me happy. But I began to feel a deep sadness. Has everyone grown entirely15 to the beauty all around us?

The crop protection products farmers use to control many plant diseases are almost the same as the drugs doctors use to treat infections, including fungi (真菌). Fungi are continually mutating (变异), and with a life cycle measured in days or weeks, they mutate quickly. When a mutation produces resistance to a chemical-killing fungi, fungi will jump to any host that provides a welcoming environment, such as a human body. And if the treatment for the fungal infection involves a drug similar to the fungicide encountered on the farm, Fungi may develop quickly in the human body-just as they did in the field.

An obvious solution is to use less fungicide in the field. Reducing fungicide use would not only slow the development of the drug resistance, it would help restore diversity to the fungal world. Fungicides are a must in the farming community. Plant diseases pose a major problem for farmers globally-in some crops, disease can reduce harvests by more than 70 percent-and failure to deal with the problem can mean financial ruin.

Just like Fungi-or, indeed, any living thing-plants continually evolve. This is how natural gene editing (基因编辑) works, and without it, we'd all still be single cells in a salty soup. Through natural selection, almost any plant will eventually produce resistance to Fungi. But this can take centuries, so we don't have the time to wait.

On the other hand, advances in genetics have given us an understanding of nature's gene editing process in plants, helping us develop resistance to a disease. Gene editing techniques can then enable us to produce disease resistance-just as nature would do, if given enough time.

Instead of "climate change" the preferred terms are "climate emergency, crisis or breakdown" and "global heating" is favoured over "global warming", although the original terms are not banned.

"We want to ensure that we are being scientifically precise, while also communicating clearly with readers on this very important issue," said the editor-in-chief, Katharine Viner. "The phrase ‘climate change', for example, sounds rather passive and gentle when what scientists are talking about is a catastrophe for humanity."

"Increasingly, climate scientists and organisations from the UN to the Met Office are changing their terms, and using stronger language to describe the situation we're in," she said. Other terms that have been updated, including the use of "wildlife" rather than "biodiversity", "fish populations" instead of "fish stocks" and "climate science denier" rather than "climate sceptic".

Earlier in May, Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who has inspired school strikes for climate around the globe, said: "Can we all now call it what it is: climate breakdown, climate crisis, climate emergency, ecological breakdown, ecological crisis and ecological emergency?"

The update to the Guardian's style guide follows the addition of the global carbon dioxide level to the Guardian's daily weather pages. "Levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen so dramatically – including a measure of that in our daily weather report is symbolic of what human activity is doing to our climate," said Viner in April. "People need reminding that the climate crisis is no longer a future problem – we need to tackle it now, and every day matters."

This time when she was a little off balance on the horizontal bar (平衡木), she became so worried that she lost self-control and fell off. This failure was followed by several more in other events. Afterwards in order to avoid people at the airport, she trailed along behind the team. She found that very few people greeted her and reporters seemed to shun her. However hard she tried, she couldn't turn the tide; she was a complete failure. Indeed, who would side with a failure?

All of a sudden, she saw a pair of shoes in front of her. Who could it be? She raised her bent head slowly and saw a navy blue suit, long legs, and then a clear fair face. Before her stood the stewardess with her hands behind her back, speaking with a smile, "I watched your performance on the television. I knew you would come home today. So I am here especially to welcome you."

"I did very poorly." She lowered her head again.

"No. You did your best."

"But I failed."

"Nobody can avoid failure. I believe failure is as important to you as success. Failure belongs to the past, and victory is the future." The stewardess's voice came gentle but firm.

Hearing these words, the girl raised her head. The stewardess held out her hands from behind her back with a big bouquet of colorful flowers, and presented it to the girl. The strong fragrance seemed to turn into a magic, powerful current that went through her body. She was moved to tears. Flowers are usually given to victorious heroes. Why to the disgraced loser?

On behalf of his hometown team from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Rozimemet Turghun, an 18-year-old teenager whose parents made a living from herding, (stand) among more than 4,000 competitors at the second Vocational Skills Competition.

Although he didn't win a medal in the mobile robotics competition, his (enthusiastic) never faded. When he was in hometown, he developed a preference for repairing household electronics. Even instructions, he was able to repair electronic stuff like lamps and radios. After (leave) senior high school, he studied at Aksu Technical College.

The chance came last year, Zhao Pengfei, vice-dean of the electrical and mechanical engineering department, started organizing a team for a skills competition. Rozimemet Turghun's (impress) abilities caught Zhao's eye. He (choose) to join the team, and focused on technologies (relate) to industrial robot applications. The competition was (obvious) a challenge for someone with little experience with computers. Rozimemet Turghun acquired the skills, memorized the position of each part and practiced each step, day and night.

One month later, he and his teammate won a bronze during the Xinjiang tryout for the second Vocational Skills Competition. They surprised everyone by completing a mobile robot in just 2 hours and 12 minutes, achievement that would have been beyond his wildest dreams. He hoped to sharpen his skills and step onto even broader stages.

As I grew older, my dreams of playing basketball in college and maybe even the NBA4 due to a series of injuries. Joining the Army to fund my education would have been a workable5, but for a semi-truck accident, which6 me to quit that dream as well. Despite these hardships, I remained7 and kept working hard.

As I reflect on my journey, I must8 that moments of doubt once held me back. The pain and damage to my body were unbearable, and I was9 of what the future held. At my10 point, I weighed over 300 pounds and formed a terrible lifestyle. It wasn't until I hit rock bottom that I realized the crucial role that11 played in overcoming adversity.

Unexpectedly, these12 led me to a career in sales and business where I learnt to hold firm, to13 rejection, and to keep pushing forward, which14 the way for starting my own advisory firm. It's been a challenging journey, but I have transformed my struggles into15, persevered through the tough times and come out stronger on the other side.

We've all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back by what, maybe three to five minutes? Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you'd really rather avoid.

In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn't really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you're grateful for the inconvenience.

While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.

"I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn't do it." said Dhruv's mom Dr. Mantri. "I decided to change the way he looked at numbers," she said. "An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid." In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.

She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround, that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.

IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. "It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them." She added.

By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. "He is so confident now and I am so proud," she said, with Dhruv adding "I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."

Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk.

When I was just a 6-year-old kid, my mother would frequently take me to our local community centre to play with my friends of similar age.

At that time, my mother was a preschool teacher and also one of the volunteers for children's services in the community. She not only loved me, but also loved every child in our community. She always believed that loneliness does not belong to children, and playing together can develop a healthy state in children. Therefore, she always tried her best to bring me along to participate in these various fun activities for children.

We children chased on the lawn (草坪), played hide-and-seek games, and played various animal games. We burst into excited shouts. Our joyful laughter was everywhere, and every time we didn't want to be separated, we looked forward to the next time like this coming again quickly. Looking back now, this is the most unforgettable period of my childhood.

One sunny afternoon, when we were playing outside, one of my friends brought a visiting relative, who clung to (紧紧抓住) his cousin like a shadow, eyes wide with nervousness. The unfamiliar boy immediately caught our attention, and we gathered around to observe him, teasing (逗弄) him to speak. That boy was very shy, with his head down and a red face.

He had a speech impediment (障碍) and couldn't get his mouth to cooperate. He couldn't even say the name of the town where he lived. I had never seen someone stutter (结巴) like that. I thought he must have been joking, so I laughed. My friend shot me a concerned glance, but my giggles (咯咯笑) continued. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mother looking at me with an expression that I'd never seen before. It was a mix of horror, anger, and shame, all focused on me, which stopped my laughing instantly.

Even as temperatures kept dropping in China's northeastern "ice city" of Harbin, excitement rose among a group of swimmers who enjoy jumping into (freeze) waters.

The daily event, known as ice swimming, is winter tradition in Harbin. Swimmers train daily throughout the year (get) their bodies ready for the unusual swim.

One of the swimmers was Chen Xia. She came from Zhejiang province about 1,700 kilometres further south. She decided to jump into the river even though she had a cold. Chen said in the city she lives, the winter waters are warmer than those in Harbin. She said the experience strengthened her (confident) in winter swimming. She has been taking part in the activity for about 20 years.

Yu Xiaofeng lives in Harbin, a city that (sit) near the border with Russia. The 61-year-old said winter swimming in the city dates back the 1970s. At that time, locals saw Russian Orthodox religious (宗教的) believers being baptized (给……施洗礼) in the river. Later in 1983, an official winter swimming group (establish) in Harbin.

The city also holds an ongoing winter celebration known for (it) huge, detailed ice and snow sculptures. Winter swimming is considered a sport in China. But it gained popularity much (fast) in Harbin than in other parts of the country. Today, Yu said the city is considered a "holy land" for winter swimming.

Mirady Acosta , a 63-year-old architect who represents the Hospital for Soft Toys, said the3 came from a teacher named Lilian Gluck. In 2017, she did not want to throw her children's toys out or let them4. She decided to wash them,5 them up and donate them to children staying in the University Hospital of Caracas.

The effort was6. So, a few months later, she opened the Hospital for Soft Toys at her home. It is a nonprofit foundation that also7 and repairs other toys. The foundation receives donations from other countries that can8 school supplies, shoes, food and candy.

The toys are9 to hospitals and schools in poor areas, but also to homes for older people-anyone who needs a little bit of10.

Each11 doll comes with a message12 its new owner to recycle it when they no longer want it.

"Hello, I am your new friend," it says. "I am a doll with13 because I played with another girl. Love me and take14 of me and I will do the same with you. When you grow up, give me to another girl who will love me and15 with me like you."

Lower caffeine, fewer side effects

Tea has less caffeine than coffee.. A cup of tea usually has 20 to 60 milligrams of caffeine, while coffee has 80 to 100 milligrams. If you're sensitive to caffeine, tea is a better choice. Plus, herbal teas like chamomile have no caffeine and can help you relax.

A powerhouse of antioxidants(抗氧化剂)

Tea is packed with antioxidants.. They can help protect your body from diseases like heart problems and cancer. Green tea has a lot of a special antioxidant called EGCG, which is great for your cells and can even help you age more slowly. Black tea has other good chemicals that help keep your heart healthy.

Tea has something special called L-theanine. This is an amino acid(氨基酸)that can make you feel calm and focused. It's different from coffee because it doesn't make you feel nervous. L-theanine can help reduce anxiety and make you feel good. It's also good for your brain. It can help you think better, feel less stressed, and even sleep better.

Good for your body

Drinking tea can be a great way to get healthy chemicals into your body. Just like eating fruits and vegetables, drinking tea can give you the good stuff your body needs.

Switching from coffee to tea can be a simple way to improve your health and feel better every day. Give tea a try and see how it makes you feel.

A. Help you stay calm

B. Good for your physical health

C. Both are good for you, but tea might be even better

D. These are special plant chemicals that are good for your health

E. Whichever you like better, keep in mind that too much will be harmful

F. This means it won't make you too excited or keep you awake at night

G. If you don't like eating vegetables, tea can be a good way to get those healthy chemicals

Different types of aircraft operate under various air traffic regulations. Commercial jets typically fly at higher altitudes due to their size and engine capabilities, which allows them to avoid turbulence (湍流) and optimize fuel efficiency. In contrast, smaller private planes usually fly at altitudes below 25,000 feet. This altitude difference is partly due to the limited capabilities of smaller aircraft and the need to maintain safe distances from commercial traffic.

The positive aspect of these regulations is that they enhance safety in the skies. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ensures that aircraft maintain vertical (垂直的) separation from each other at flying altitudes. This reduces the risk of mid-air collisions (碰撞). Additionally, operating at higher altitudes allows planes to avoid weather disturbances, such as thunderstorms and turbulence, further improving passenger comfort and safety.

On the negative side, altitude restrictions can limit the operational flexibility of some aircraft. Smaller planes may be restricted by regulatory limits, which can hinder (阻碍) their flight paths and efficiency. According to a study by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in 2019, lower operating altitudes can increase exposure to obstacles such as buildings and terrain, raising safety concerns for private pilots.

To optimize flight safety and efficiency, pilots should adhere to regulatory altitude limits based on their aircraft type. They should also consider factors such as weather conditions and airspace restrictions. For private pilots, flying in controlled airspace may require altitude adjustments to ensure obedience. It is essential for all pilots to stay informed about regulations from agencies like the FAA to make safe and informed flight decisions.

People with ADHD often struggle with focusing, organizing, and controlling their actions. AI tools can help them do tasks faster. But experts say these tools should not replace traditional treatments for ADHD, like learning organizational skills or taking medicine. John Mitchell, a professor at Duke University, says AI should be used as "one tool in a toolbox" He compares it to a life preserver in water; it helps you stay afloat but doesn't teach you how to swim.

Becky also uses ChatGPT for shopping and meal planning, which are tasks that can be hard for people with ADHD. She shares her methods on TikTok to help others.

Bram de Buyser, a software engineer, created Goblin tools, which helps with making to-do lists. He says he's not trying to cure ADHD but to help for a few minutes each day.

However, there are concerns about using AI. Russell Fulmer, a professor at Husson University, says the research on AI and ADHD is not clear yet. He worries that AI might not work well for everyone.

Valese Jones, who has ADHD, uses AI bots (机器人程序) for emails and proofreading. But she says the responses don't always show her true self or her culture.

Using AI chatbots has its benefits, like never being tired or needing sleep. But there are also privacy issues. When you use these bots, you give a lot of personal information to big companies.

In summary, AI tools can help people with ADHD manage tasks better, but they should be used carefully and not replace traditional treatments.

In 2020, Khalil's team saved Kaavan, an Asian elephant, from years of loneliness at a zoo in Pakistan. They flew him to Cambodia, where he could live a happier life at an elephant reserve. The relocation project was a great success.

After that, there was Charley, an African elephant in South Africa. Charley had been living in Pretoria Zoo for more than 20 years. Since his partner passed away in 2020, he was extremely unhappy. Elephants are very sensitive animals. Zoo officials hoped that he could spend his remaining years in a better place. His new home was going to be a private game reserve 200 kilometres away.

Charley was captured (捕获) in Zimbabwe in the 1980s. He spent 16 years in a circus and then 23 years at the zoo. It is estimated that he is 42 years old and has been in captivity for 40 years.

As an animal rescue specialist, Khalil was selected for this task. Two other doctors, who had participated in Kaavan's relocation, also joined in. They met Charley two years ago to assess whether he was ready for relocation and to earn his trust.

They trained Charley to enter a transport container by using his favourite foods such as pumpkins. To everyone's surprise, he was ready in less than two weeks.

In late August, Charley was moved to the Shambala reserve. At first, he will be kept in a separate area to adapt to the new environment. It is quite rare for captive elephants to be returned to the wild. Khalil praised the zoo and the government. At Shambala, Charley will be free and might recall his early life. He has already started communicating with other elephants.
