China's star swimmer Wang Shun is no stranger to newspaper or magazine covers. Wang, an Olympic champion, has already 1 three gold medals, a silver and a bronze in Hangzhou Asian Games. His story reveals how years of 2 and setbacks turned him into a world-beater.

3 his childhood, Wang has fond memories of the moment that sparked his 4 curiosity about swimming. "The first time I got into the pool was with my father. I followed him and I didn't know how to swim. I remember I swallowed a lot of water, and then I saw an adult 5 out of the water, so I just 6 his head and climbed onto his shoulder."

As he began to train 7 , though, Wang often struggled with the long hours in the pool, and would sometimes sit in the locker room to 8 training. Now, with Olympic gold in his trophy cabinet, he is 9 he didn't give up.

"I've been through many 10 times in my career. In 2019, for instance, my performances were not ideal and I was really 11 at the time about this. I even thought about 12 . But my coach stuck with me and kept helping me improve, mentally and physically," Wang said. "Then in June I sprained my ankle, which 13 me to stop training for two weeks. The 14 process was pretty tough. I was just thinking these setbacks won't stop me from trying to win Olympic gold."

At 27, age is now a new challenge for Wang. However, with Team China increasingly 15  scientific methods of training and support, he is confident he can remain competitive into his thirties.

Have you ever wondered about the significance of emotions in our life? Emotions play a critical part in our lives.  Let me give you an example here: When you are with your loved ones, your mood changes instantly right? If they feel happy then you feel happy, and if they feel angry/sad then so do you. Starting to get what I was talking about in the beginning? Should you be feeling like that? In certain situations, yes, but every time, no!

You may find it very hard to believe but it is not our responsibility to bear other people's feelings, this is something that they have to do themselves. Apart from this, we must never be controlled by our own feelings. Let me give you an example here. In the middle of a fight between your spouse or partner, they will say, "You really hurt my feelings". Sometimes, you might even say: "You are making me angry". What does this imply? Whenever this happens, you start blaming yourself, especially for the emotions that others are feeling. This is known as emotional reflection. You must learn to control this.

What should be your course of action here? It might seem rude when I say this but you really need to hear it. You are not responsible for how others feel!  Al l in all, we must learn to be emotionally accountable and mature, doing so will result in a better and happier life.

Now, a new trial finds antiviral medications, when given soon after a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes（糖尿病）, might help preserve those vital beta（β） cells.

Antiviral drugs could be "used alone, or as part of combination treatment, to rescue insulin（胰岛素）-producing beta cells at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes," said a team that presented their findings at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, in Hamburg. So-called beta cells in the pancreas（胰腺） can generate insulin. But in some cases, an uncontrolled auto-immune response causes the body to attack its own beta cells, ruining a child's capacity to produce insulin and cause type 1 diabetes. So people with type 1 diabetes rely on insulin injections to maintain healthy blood sugar levels the rest of their lives.

The researchers have been investigating the root causes of the autoimmune "malfunction" behind beta cell destruction for years, and they discovered that low-grade infections with common germs often occur in the pancreatic cells of people newly diagnosed with type l diabetes. So what if these people were given antivirals—in this case, pleconaril and ribavirin—to rid the pancreas of these infections?

The new trial, led by Dr. Mynarek, sought to answer that question. The team followed96 children aged 6 to 15 who were all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the study. The children were randomly selected to receive either the two antiviral medicines or a placebo （无效对照剂） for six months. Mynarek's group tracked C-peptides levels in the blood, which "mirror the insulin production in the pancreas," implying that the higher a child's C-peptide levels on tests, the better their pancreas was producing insulin. According to their findings, while C-peptide levels dropped a full 24% in children who received the placebo, it fell by just 11% in those who got the antivirals. That suggests the treatment helped protect the child's pancreatic beta cells from destruction.

The researchers concluded that "further studies should be done to evaluate whether antiviral treatment could delay the progression of beta-cell damage leading to clinical type l diabetes."

Sharing a bed with a pet at night is a common feature of nighttime routines in the United States. According to a 2021—2022 survey,43 percent of pet dogs in the United States and 49 percent of pet cats sleep on their owner's bed. When it comes to the perks of sharing your bed with your favourite furry friend, however, experts are divided.

First, it's worth noting that the majority of research on the topic of co-sleeping with pets has focused on dogs rather than cats. Mark Fierstein, an internal medicine specialist at NYUL angone Health in New York City, suggests this is because cats may want to play or even purposely wake up their owner. Rabbits or hamsters are also out of the question.

A benefit of sleeping with pets is that the practice may prevent loneliness, Fierstein says. "Often, people who co-sleep with pets report an increased sense of security, companionship, and relaxation," he notes. "For some people, the dog's warmth, steady heartbeat, and protective nature can make sleeping with them feel safe and cozy." This may be especially true of people who are managing trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder（PTSD）. Leslie Sinn, a psychologist, says according to a survey,60% of PTSD suffers feel calm down if they wake up to see the presence of the dog.

Some research suggests co-sleeping with pets may increase mid-night awakenings for people. "If the owner is a light sleeper, he or she may not do well with a dog or cat in the bedroom," notes Fierstein. For example, he points out that a dog who snores loudly is not an ideal sleeping mate.

Dogs may also show aggressive behaviour—such as biting. Allowing pets in the bedroom can also expose owners to potential allergens, like pet hair, as well as viruses that cause disease.

It was a carefree summer day when a father, Steven Poust, was out boating on the St. John's River with his 4-year-old daughter Abigail and 4-year-old son Chase. The children were playfully swimming near their anchored boat while their father was fishing, smiling at his kids. Suddenly, Abigail got caught in the powerful current, forcing her to release the handle on the boat. Chase let go of the boat to take hold of his little sister, but he found himself caught in the current. When Steven jumped into the water to rescue his struggling children, he was also pulled in.

As they all drifted farther from the boat, the desperate father pushed his son to a safer place and tried to stick with his daughter as long as he could. However, he wore himself out later, and she drifted away from him. The father had to follow his daughter. So the responsibility to save the family was now on young Chase's shoulders.

Steven instructed his son to swim to the shore and find immediate help. Meanwhile, he would attempt to retrieve his little girl, who was continuously being pulled farther from his reach.

Chase did as he was told. The young boy was swimming against the current, which made it more difficult to swim toward the shore. However, the young boy continued to swim with one thought in mind: to save his family. Chase swam as fast as he could to reach the riverbank. When he grew tired, Chase cleverly floated on his back; at times, he paddled to conserve his energy. Once he reached the shore, he raced to the closest house he could find, knocked on the door and screamed for help. The owners answered and immediately dialed 911.

The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded quickly. They located the empty boat. In the water, they found kids' shoes, a cellphone and fishing poles floating near the boat. After a 90-minute search, the search crew located the father and the daughter in the water, who had been swept a mile and a half from their abandoned boat.

Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China

Written by Leslie T. Chang, this book, published in 2008, is a reportage on the lives of young women who leave their rural homes to work in factories in China's cities. Chang, a former New York Times journalist, interviewed hundreds of factory girls to provide insight into the social and economic changes in China.

There was a big fire in a forest. Animals that lived there had to find new homes.

Far away was a house where three little children lived. Their names were Thomas, Kathy and Carrie. It was lunchtime. Mom said,"Why don't you have a picnic in the yard?"

The kids spread(展开) out the picnic blanket and put some carrot sticks and drinks on it. Then they ran back to the kitchen to fetch more food. But when they came back to the blanket, something was wrong. Where were the carrot sticks? They were all gone! "This must be a trick," said Kathy. "Let's leave the celery(芹菜) sticks here and see what will happen."They told Mom that someone had stolen the carrot sticks. Mom hurried out with them to the picnic blanket. But now, not only were the carrot sticks missing, but the celery sticks were gone, too!

Mom said,"Well, your drinks are still out here. Get your sandwiches. You guys go ahead and eat them out here and maybe something will turn up." They were just about to finish eating when Carrie looked over at the bushes(灌木丛) and saw something move. She softly said,"Shush! See the bushes moving?" A little animal came to the edge(边缘) of the bushes and looked at them. It was a rabbit. Quietly it went back into the bushes.

Thomas said,"Let's get more celery and carrots, and see if that rabbit is our thief. We can put them at the edge of the bushes and watch from the window." They carefully put celery and carrots down near the bushes and walked back to the house. As they watched, the little rabbit came out and carried the vegetables away into the bushes.

Mom thought that maybe because of the forest fire, the rabbit needed a new home. "Maybe we can keep feeding this rabbit, and she will stay here for a long time."said Mom.

Rising up in the countryside of Jiangxi Province, Mount Lushan was once one of the famous cultural (center) of ancient China. In fact, its historical importance meant that it (honor) as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996.

Located about 20 kilometres south of Jiujiang City, it runs eastwards to the Mufu Mountains. Dahanyang Peak, the highest peak of Mount Lushan,(rise) 1,474 metres above sea level. To the north, it offers (impress) views of the Yangtze River, while to the south it overlooks Poyang Lake.

As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, a well-known Taoist leader(name) Zhang Daoling travelled to the mountain. During the Jin Dynasty, the Donglin Temple was built on the mountain by a person called Huiyuan. From then on, many temples began coming up across the mountain, until there were over 300 of them.

However, Mount Lushan didn't become truly famous until the Song Dynasty. During that time, it was rebuilt by Zhu Xi, was the founder of Neo-Confucianism(理学). Thanks his efforts, this place became one of the Four Great Academies of China. By the 19th century, it had become into an (extreme) large place, with its own temples, study halls, and libraries. Overtime, countless writers and artists have sung the mountain's praises, (leave) over 900 works of art.

Nowadays, with its beautiful views and famous temples, the mountain range is  popular tourist attraction.
