By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat?A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body. 

Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. "There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better, "says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. "For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful. "

A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways. 

Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook. 

What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better——a little salt——can make the food taste better. 

For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?

Until the 1960s Finland's school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize ( 使现代化) the ir education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7-to 16-year-olds. Compulsory education (义务教育) begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool(幼儿园)as well. 

Most of Finland's schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to official s are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries. 

Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum(课程) and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to a university and receive a master's degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth. 

All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union. 

My Ph. D. (博士学位) adviser called me into his office, saying I needn't bring my notebook. After 15 minutes of listing my positive things, he looked me in the eye and said, "You are fired from the lab. "

I had moved to Israel from my native India the year before, excited to experience a new culture and study for a Ph. D. At first things went well in my new lab. Then, 3 months before I was fired, I ran into some problems. I made a few mistakes in the lab that slowed my research, but I wasn't a ware that my adviser noticed them, and he never spoke to me about any concerns. I'm still not sure why he fired me, but I guess it was because of those mistakes. He wasn't confident that I could complete my research in time as we'd planned. 

The first few days after I was fired were especially difficult. I spent hours staring at my computer screen, unable to get anything done. One day all I could do was sit on a beach, crying. I tried to change his mind with promising results, but he wouldn't change his decision. I could not tell the news to my family in India, as the fear of disappointing them overwhelmed (压垮) me. I soon got into a state of. sadness and anxiety. Meanwhile, the date for me to leave the country was drawing near, as my visa required me to be registered (注册) as a student. I was lonely and without hope. 

Around that time, I watched Dasvidaniya, a Bollywood movie that's about a man who has 3 months to live. One line from the movie impressed me:"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade(柠檬水)". What kind of lemonade could I make out of my present situation? My wish to complete a Ph. D. was never in doubt. Finally, I told myself that one failure was not the end of the world, and that I needed to give it another try. With renewed confidence, I applied for other programs. Within 2 months, I landed an offer from a Ph. D. program in Italy. I gladly accepted it, happy that my goal of completing a Ph. D. was alive once again.

I'm thankful that I didn't give up on my dream and that I found another professor willing to take me on. 

It was a sunny day this April, and I was flying with my boy off to Carnavo n in my light aircraft to see a solar eclipse(日食). Looking out of the window, I was deeply absorbed in the picturesque scenery below. My son Jacob, 15, who was enthusiastic about flying, was in high spirits. 

After 25 years in the mining industry, I'd quit my job to pursue a career in flying. Getting my commercial pilot license in September 2022, I believed this was my calling. 

Jacob was a passionate flyer, who always enjoyed the flights with me. "What does this button do?""How does it work?""What is the function?"There were so many questions he'd ask curiously. I wonder if he'll be a pilot some day.

Watching the eclipse through our solar goggles(护目镜), we both were in amazement. After a bite of lunch, I did all my checks and refuelled the plane before flying us back. 

Flying back into the air, I headed towards Jandakot Airport, which was right near our house. 

More than half way , I spotted some smoke in the air. Realizing we were flying over Lancelin where there'd been some nearby bushfires, I didn't think there was anything to panic about. Travelling south, we took in the lovely coastline. "This is beautiful!"Jacob exclaimed.

At around 5 p. m. , just about five minutes to our destination, the engine suddenly decreased rapidly. Glancing over at my boy, I thought, "this is bad. "As I tried to bring the engine back to life, it worked only for a millisecond(毫秒), and then died again. "Okay mate, we've had an engine failure, "I said calmly to Jacob. The plane was dropping and we went from 1800 feet to 1500 in just 20 seconds.

Looking forward, I could see Jandakot Airport about 15 kilometres ahead. "We aren't going to make it, "I told myself. We only had another 60 seconds before making the decision. Looking down at Leighton Beach north of Fremantle below, I saw crowds of people on the beach.

My Favorite Spring Festival Eve Dish

Wandering in the forest with sweet melodies of wild birds, tourists might feel they are in a fairy tale world  (actual), they are picking wild mushrooms in Yunnan Province Tired of visiting  (crowd) scenic spots during holidays, many people instead choose mushroom picking  (refresh) themselves. 

Xu Yaowei is in ch arge of a mushroom picking project on the app"Youyunnan". "There are two types of tour routes The first (design) for tourists from outside the province Their expectation is a mu shroom hunting experience, (focus) on easily finding mushrooms "Xu said, "The second route is for local and high-end customers, which includes a mushroom hunting experience, picking wild tea, visiting a local wild mushroom market as well "

By the end of August, the project conducted nearly 40 one-day wild mushroom collection tours, serving nearly 800 tourists, more than 95 percent of  are from outside the province Most of them are college  (graduate) and parents with children 

A tourist who paid a special one day visit Yunnan from Sichuan Province said, "My child loves mushrooms and we want to give him a chance to experience the wonders of nature and provide educational experience. "

Stella was 5 when she had a surgery that left her with casts(石膏) on both legs and a bar between them It was impossible to wear 1  pants during the recovery 

Like any mother, Puzzo promised to do anything to give Stella 2  to dress She decided to try it herself Soon came the first generation version: a pair of pants was 3  and then sewed in Velcro(尼龙搭扣) It was a simple fix, but a big 4  for Stella 

At the post operative appointment, 'Stella wore them Her doctors were 5 and advised Puzzo to 6 more "Many parents ask us all the time what to dress their children in, and now you 7 solved that problem, "one doctor added

When she 8  what the surgeon said with her friend Joanne DiCamillo, it 9  them that this was something missing from the market. It was there that the brand Befree was born. 

Later, they worked on the second generation, eventually making a 10  from Velcro to zippers (拉链) They were granted design patents for their pants and 11  their website in 2022, which became an instant hit. 

DiCamillo noted that 12  buyers are not limited to just children and adults with disabilities, but including other people 13  from surgeries Their dream is that in five years, their 14  clothes will be sold alongside traditional clothes 

It is said that 15  is the mother of invention, and this invention came from two mothers with a need:clothing for those with disabilities. 

Being organized is an important part of being a student  Recommended approaches include prioritizing your to-do lists, organizing your school supplies and tracking closing dates. You can be well on your way to becoming an organized student. 

●  Have a morning routine. A great way to stay organized is to have the same routine every morning. It is harder to forget things at home or come to school unprepared if you follow the same routine each day. In addition to showering and getting dressed, your morning routine should include a healthy breakfast and a quick check of your backpack 

●  Begin projects at once. Try to begin working on homework and other projects as soon as you know what the assignment will be  It will make it harder to organize other part s of your student life. Organizing time for homework every night will help you complete your schoolwork more effectively. 

●  Separate materials based on subject by using different colors For math, for example, you might want to have a blue book cover, blue folder and blue notebook. For history, you might choose pink. That way, you'll look in your locker or backpack and easily be able to get what you need for each class. 

●  Be aware of the deadline of the project.  Consider buying a whiteboard or bulletin board to keep track of when you need to turn in your projects. This visual aid can help you remember deadlines. If you're having problems finishing your work on time, a fun way to get the project done more easily and quickly is to work with friends. Make sure your teachers and parents allow it. 

A. Color code your materials by subject. 

B. Make sure everything you need is totally in it. 

C. Turn to teachers and friends for help immediately. 

D. It's especially important for junior and senior students. 

E. Being organized means remembering when your work is due. 

F. Getting organized is necessary for improving your family relationship. 

G. Waiting until the last minute to finish it will make you feel less organized. 

Adding game-like elements to non-game activities is part of app design. Streaks(计数器)encourage users to log into products each day. Medals reward them for completing tasks. Leaderboards add the spice of competition. 1

Such features can help others stay motivated while achieving a goal they find difficult to stick to. When Duolingo, a language-learning app, went public in 2021, it was clear that game-like features play a crucial role in keeping its users engaged. 

But as You've Been Played, a new book by a game designer Adrian Hon notes, firms should be very careful about how they gamify experiences. If getting gamification wrong, you can annoy both customers and employees.

For customers, the obvious dangers—— annoying people with constant notices about streaks, or discouraging them by showing how low down a leaderboard they sit —— are not the only ones. Somtimes, some activities surely need added"fun". For instance, apps designed to encourage people to save money can happily use gamified features like money jars to track progress. However, some activities really don't need added"fun". One reading app offers to unlock animations(动画) if users hit certain reading landmarks; if you present reading as time-consuming, you are telling readers they are suffering.

For employees, turning repetitive work into video games is a technique that Amazon has reportedly used to represent workers'progress. Yet these ideas may cause negative impact. Forced rankings motivate some people while stressing others out. GitHub, an open-source coding platform, withdrew its streak feature after concerns were raised that it was pushing programmers to work every weekend. 

As Mr. Hon observes, games are much less enjoyable if you have no choice over whether to participate or not. Adding fun can work, but only if it is taken seriously.
