Liangzhu Museum displays various burial objects found in the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City,a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruins have gained worldwide recognition evidence for the existence of at least 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.

When Zhang Han set foot inside Liangzhu Museum, the 10-year-old embarked on a tour that took him back more than 5,000 years. Wearing the smart glasses,Zhang (present) with virtual images of relics. Augmented reality glasses feature among a string of measures taken by the museum to give visitors a more vivid experience of Liangzhu civilization, while (help) them gain a better appreciation of Chinese culture.

Tourists can also visit the official website of Liangzhu Museum to enjoy a virtual tour. With click of the mouse, they can gain access to exhibition halls that they may never be able to visit （physical).

(advance) technologies are increasingly playing a major role in Chinese museums. In the northwestern Chinese city of Dunhuang, is known for the UNESCO World Heritage Site Mogao Grottoes, the "digital Dunhuang project" has made extensive use of digitalization. By the end of 2021, it(complete) the digital collection of 268 grottoes, the image processing of 164 grottoes, and so on.

The protection and(revive) of Dunhuang's ancient culture is not an isolated case in China. The Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi province also have 3D "digital archives"， which allow precious cultural relics and historical archives（preserve) permanently.

Girls are better at reading and writing than boys as early as fourth grade, according to a study, and the gap continues to widen until senior year.

Scientists generally agree that boys and girls are psychologically more alike than they are different. But reading seems to be a(n) 1 , with growing evidence suggesting a similar 2  in writing. The study, published in the journal American Psychologist, provided further 3  to support this view.

David Reilly, lead author of the study, said the study 4  the commonly held view that boys and girls start grade school with the same cognitive abilities. "It appears that the gender gap for writing tasks has been greatly 5 , and despite our best efforts with changes in teaching methods, that does not appear to be 6  over time, he said.

Factors explaining the results could include learning 7  being more prevalent among boys; the pressure to conform to masculine ideals and the idea of reading and language being 8 ; and slight differences in how boys and girls use their brain hemispheres (半球), the authors believe.

To investigate how 9  levels differed between boys and girls in the U.S., the team studied data collected over three decades in the National Assessment of Educational Progress. This database of test scores on over 3 million students in the fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades 10  national and state performances in a range of subjects, and considered such variables such as disabilities or whether children were English learners. Reading and writing was 11  according to children's understanding of a range of different passages and genres.

12 , girls were found to perform significantly better in reading and writing tests by fourth grade when compared with boys of the same age. As children progressed to eighth and twelfth grades, girls continued to 13  boys, but the difference was more noticeable in writing than reading. But what caused this difference in abilities? Evidence suggests 14  problems, such as being disruptive in class or being aggressive could be linked to neurological conditions. What is known as lateralization (偏侧化) could also play a role. Boys are believed to use one hemisphere when reading or writing, while girls appear to use both. The data did not, however, provide evidence to argue 15  the two genders having different learning styles.

Across Asia many people have just witnessed the natural wonder that is a total solar eclipse. 

This week's total eclipse could be seen in eastern India before slowly moving across Burma, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Japan, and the Pacific Ocean. Yesterday, when it reached eastern China, people flocked (聚集)into the streets to witness the astronomical wonder.

As daylight disappeared and the sky quickly darkened.  Cities such as Shanghai were plunged into (陷入) darkness during what is thought to be the longest total eclipse of the 21st century. It lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds.

Total solar eclipses of such a long duration are very rare events. Shao Zhenyi, an astronomer at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory in China explained: "We'll have to wait a few hundred years for another opportunity to observe a solar eclipse that lasts this long? so it's a very special opportunity. ‘‘

But while millions celebrate this phenomenon, it should be remembered that total eclipses have not always been such treasured events. Many cultures traditionally believed that a total eclipse was a bad omen (凶兆) or a supernatural event. Others believed that the eclipse signified oncoming disasters. Nowadays it appears that these fears and superstitions(迷信)are long forgotten. As daylight once again flooded Asian cities such as Shanghai, whoops and cheers could be heard among the gathered crowds.

Reflecting on what had just happened, one Shanghai resident described the eclipse as "eerie"(怪诞的), while another said "It's like magic, the day turns into night in such a short period of time. I have no idea where I am right now. .

A. It feels like a different world.

B. They happen but once in a lifetime.

C. Those watching were left far from disappointed.

D. Some believed that evil gods were eating the Sun.

E. People were frightened by the sudden darkness.

F. Some people thought it was a natural wonder.

G. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth line up in such a way that our view of the Sun is totally hidden by the Moon.

A handshake seems to be a normal gesture. In fact, in the 9th century BC, an ancient site during the ruling of Shalmaneser III clearly shows two figures holding hands. The Iliad, usually dated to the 8th century BC, mentions that two characters "taking each other's hands and expressing their loyalty." Centuries later, Shakespeare once wrote of two characters who shook hands and swore to be brothers in the book As You Like It. Shaking hands seems to be an ancient custom whose roots have disappeared in the sands of time.

Historians who have studied ancient etiquette (礼仪) books note that the modem handshake did not appear until the middle of the 19th century, when it was considered a slightly inappropriate gesture that could only be used between friends. But what if Shakespeare had written about handshaking hundreds of years earlier?

According to author Torbjdm Lundmark in his Tales of Hi and Bye: Greeting and Parting Rituals Around the World. the problem comes in differing definitions of the handshake. The early handshakes mentioned above were part of making deals or peace; King Shalmaneser III referred to a rebellion in which he signed a treaty with the King of Babylon. In the Iliad, Diomedes and Glaucus shook hands when they realized they were guest-friends, and Diomedes declared: 66Lefs not try to kill each other." Shakespeare was similarly referencing settlement of a conflict.

The modern handshake as a form of greeting is harder to trace. As a Dutch sociologist Herman Roodenburg — the chief authority for the history of handshaking ——wrote in a chapter of an anthology called A Cultural History of Gesture, "More than in any other field, that of the study of gesture is one in which the historian has to make the most of only a few clues".

One of the earliest clues he cites is a 16th-century German translation of the French writer Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel. When one character meets Gargantua, Rabelais writes, "He was greeted by countless hugs and countless good days." But according to Roodenburg, the 16th-century German translation added references to shaking hands.

A popular saying suggests that Cleland's statements against bowing were actually a wish to go back to a potentially traditional method of greeting in Europe. As the centuries progressed, handshaking was replaced by more hierarchical （等级的）ways of greeting - like bowing. According to Roodenburg, handshaking survived in a few remote places, like in Dutch towns where some would use the gesture to make peace after disagreements. Around the same time, those who valued equality also made use of handshaking. Then, as the Continent's hierarchy was weakened, handshaking became a common practice among people of the same rank, as it is today.

The urgency and importance of Covid-19 over (he past year have driven almost everything else from most leaders' minds. But since the vaccine is kicking in, Britain's government is once again beginning to think about the things that will matter later. Next week, it is expected to publish a "plan for growth" to boost productivity, with innovation at its centre.

The world may be on the point of a technological boom with life sciences, at which Britain excels. Innovation is crucial to productivity, but on this front Britain's performance has lagged behind its competitors' in recent years. Its low spending on Research and Development (R&D) argues for a boost Those who attributed the financial failure in the 1970s to the insufficiency of research funds may regard this as a threat to economic growth. Promoting innovation can quickly (um into an exercise in picking winners - or, as is more often the case, losers.

A second danger is that policy agendas get mixed up. The government has promised to "level up" poorer areas of the country, so deprived towns arc campaigning for more money for their universities. But trying to boost innovation by sending money to weak institutions is likely to make our leading universities lose their advantages, thus producing average ideas that could have been remarkable. Britain's research-funding system has always been elitist(精英主义的). It should stay that way.

The government's first move in boosting innovation was the announcement of a plan for an Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). ARlA's purpose is to fund high-risk, high-reward research. But money is not all that mailers. The successful translation of life science research into treatments during the pandemic suggests some inexpensive measures that can also make a difference.

One is to speed up governmental processes. The rapidity with which Britain's medical regulator moved during the pandemic is one reason why the vaccine roll-out is racing through the population. Urgency is not unique lo pandemics. Getting things done quickly can make an investment worthwhile and determine where a businessman chooses as a base.

Another useful measure the government should use is its unique ability to overcome barriers. At the beginning of the pandemic. Covid-19 researchers were unable to gain access to different strands of health service data. The government eased restrictions on existing data and allowed researchers (o ask people who had tested positive tor Covid-19 to join trials. Both were crucial to the effort.

A last principle is the value of connections between the government and the private sector. Kate Bingham, a venture capitalist who led the vaccine-purchase effort, understood how to deal with drug companies. Many of the civil servants working with her had commercial experience. The governments closeness to business during the pandemic has been criticized. But without it, the vaccine effort would not have succeeded.

Innovation took human beings from caves to computers. Good education, a welcoming immigration policy and a friendly business environment will do most to tend it. But a few sensible principles can help keep the flame burning.

Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by Romantic-era composers, including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway—and in her determination to spend hours practicing one of Chopin's compositions which is known for being "stretchy", wound up injuring herself.

"I would just go to pieces," the Southern Methodist University junior recalled. "There were just too many octaves. I wondered whether I was just going to play Bach and Mozart for the rest of my life."

The efforts of SMU keyboard studies chair Carol Leone are changing all that. Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to incorporate smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.

Yi reflected on the first time she tried one of the smaller keyboards: "I remember being really excited because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes," she said. Ever since, "I haven't had a single injury, and I can practice as long as I want."

For decades, few questioned the size of the conventional piano. If someone's hand span was less than 8.5 inches—the distance considered ideal to comfortably play an octave—well, that's just how it was.

Those who attempt "stretchy" passages either get used to omitting notes or risk tendon (腱) injury with repeated play. Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of jazz musicians, she instead favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a doctorate in musical arts.

A few years after joining SMU's music faculty in 1996, the decorated pianist read an article in Piano and Keyboard magazine about the smaller keyboards. As Leone would later write, the discovery would completely renew her life and career.

In 2000, she received a grant to retrofit a department Steinway to accommodate a smaller keyboard, and the benefits were immediate. In addition to relieving injury caused by overextended fingers, she said, it gave those with smaller spans the ability to play classic compositions taken for granted by larger-handed counterparts.

Smaller keyboards instill many with new confidence. It's not their own limitations that have held them back, they realize; it's the limitations of the instruments themselves. For those devoted to a life of making music, it's as if a cloud has suddenly lifted.

It's easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.

What is the best time to visit Bali on a budget?

If you're on a budget, consider visiting Bali during the lower, wetter season, which runs from October through March. The crowds will be fewer and both hotel rates and flights from abroad are often cheaper, except during the holiday period between mid-December and early January, when crowds swell. The only trade-off for the lower prices is the wet season. This time of year isn't always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy season, it doesn't usually rain all day long. Expect bursts of sunshine between the storms.

What is the cheapest way to get around Bali? 

The absolute cheapest way to get around Bali is by local bus, but it can take a long time. There are also tourist buses, including hop-on, hop-off options, that travel between different hubs across the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, both of the car and motorbike variety, and the prices tend to be affordable by international standards. Most drivers will offer you a fixed rate for full-day hires or to get from point A to point B, rather than using a meter.

Remember to bargain; doing so is particularly easy when a driver is on his own rather than at a taxi stand.

How much does food cost in Bali?

If you're into fine dining, you can end up spending a large chunk of your budget on food. Eating at the average restaurant geared towards tourists is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget. A good meal should cost you around 100,000 rupiah (around $7), but if you're willing to subsist mostly off of local specialties such as nasi goreng (fried rice) and eat at local restaurants, you can expect to pay around 30,000 rupiah ($2) to get fed. Best of all, most hotels and guesthouses in Bali come with free breakfast, and many offer heavier options of noodles and meat that may keep you full until lunch.

A child was standing on a street-corner. He leaned with one shoulder against a high board-fence and swayed the other to and fro, while kicking carelessly at the gravel. 

Sunshine beat upon the cobbles（鹅卵石）, and a lazy summer wind raised yellow dust which trailed in clouds down the avenue. Clattering trucks moved with indistinctness through it. The child stood dreamily gazing. 

After a time, a little dark-brown dog came trotting with an intent air down the sidewalk. A short rope was dragging from his neck. Occasionally he trod upon the end of it and stumbled. 

He stopped opposite the child, and the two regarded each other. The dog hesitated for a moment, but presently he made some little advances with his tail. The child put out his hand and called him. In an apologetic manner, the dog came close, and the two had an interchange of friendly pattings and waggles. The dog became more enthusiastic with each moment of the interview, until with his gleeful caperings he threatened to overturn the child. Whereupon the child lifted his hand and struck the dog with a blow upon the head. 

This thing seemed to overpower and astonish the little dark-brown dog, and wounded him to the heart. He sank down in despair at the child's feet. When the blow was repeated, together with an admonition（警告） in childish sentences, he turned over upon his back, and held his paws in a peculiar（奇怪的） manner. At the same time, with his ears and his eyes, he offered a small prayer to the child.

He looked so comical on his back, and holding his paws peculiarly, that the child was greatly amused and gave him little taps repeatedly, to keep him so. But the little dark-brown dog took this chastisement（惩罚） in the most serious way, and no doubt considered that he had committed some grave crime, for he wriggled contritely and showed his repentance in every way that was in his power. He pleaded with the child and petitioned him, and offered more prayers. 

At last the child grew weary of this amusement and turned toward home. The dog was praying at the time. He lay on his back and turned his eyes upon the retreating form.

Presently he struggled to his feet and started after the child.

Dear Chris,

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Fear and its  (company) pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. A really fearless soldier–and some  exist-is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards  man and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you  dangers; then you have to decide  you want to take. 

In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert  there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, which you have to try to overcome. 

I  (involve) in this literature and culture for 14 years, searching for personal development ideas and change tools that really make a difference, and these days I believe that there are only two skills that you need to master to progress your life: 

⒈Getting clear on something that you really want. 

⒉Transforming the fears that are holding you back from making all  you want a reality. 

In fact, I find that it often boils right down to just  (transform) your fears, because much of the time the only reason  you are unclear about what you want is that you are afraid to want something that you want, so your fear obscures your vision of what you want. 

There was once a modest village nestled in the heart of the mountains. The villagers lived a simple life, relying on the land for their 1  and being close-knit with one another. However, their peaceful existence was soon 2  when a terrible drought struck the region. 

With each passing day, the villagers grew more 3 . The once verdant fields transformed into desolate lands, and the formerly sparkling river rushed 4  in the absence of rain,it no longer has the crisp, clattering sound of the past. The village elder called for a meeting to discuss 5  they should do. After great deliberation, they came up with a plan. 

They made the decision to 6  each and every able-bodied villager to undertake a journey in search of a mythical treasure that is concealed deep within the mountains. Legends say that this treasure possessed the power to 7  rain and break the drought. And this treasure has never been found. With hopeful hearts, the villagers set off into the unknown. 

The journey was 8 , with treacherous paths and dangerous obstacles. Along the way, they encountered fierce storms and soaring temperatures that tested their resolve. Yet, they remained 9  and persevered through the hardships. 

After days of tireless searching, they finally  10  the hidden treasure in a hidden cave. As they cautiously approached, they realized that their discovery held no material wealth but instead presented a daunting enigma—an intricate and  11  inscription etched into the wall. Its mysterious symbols seemed to taunt them, beckoning them to uncover the secrets they fiercely guarded. It read, "The real treasure lies in the unity and resilience of everyone. "

The villagers were 12 . They realized that the journey itself was the treasure they sought. Through their unity and determination, they had  13 courage and hope in the face of adversity. Encouraged by this newfound  14 , they returned to the village and worked together to overcome the drought, relying on their collective strength. 

From that day forward, the villagers cherished their unity and 15 their bond, never forgetting the true treasure they had discovered. 

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. We were determined to experience the city like locals and immerse ourselves in the culture. So, we decided to attend a traditional French cooking class. Not only did we learn how to prepare classic dishes, but we also got a glimpse into the passion and artistry that goes into French cuisine. 

The chef guided us through the process of making coq au vin, a famous French dish. We chopped vegetables, marinated the chicken in red wine, and patiently simmered the ingredients to perfection. The aromas filled the kitchen, transporting us to a rustic farmhouse in the French countryside. 

 After hours of cooking, we finally sat down to enjoy our creation. The flavors were exquisite, the chicken tender, and the sauce rich and flavorful. The chef even gave us some tips and tricks to replicate the dish at home. 

The experience left us with a deep appreciation for French cuisine and the dedication it takes to master it. We vowed to experiment with more French recipes and continue to explore the world of culinary arts. 

Overall, our cooking class was a highlight of our trip and allowed us to connect with the essence of French culture through its food. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and we look forward to sharing our newfound culinary skills with family and friends. 

A. It was a feast for the senses. 

B. The class was filled with laughter and camaraderie. 

C. The class ignited our passion for cooking. 

D. We savored each bite and relished the experience. 

E. The class gave us a deeper understanding of French culture and traditions. 

F. The class catered to both beginners and experienced cooks. 

G. Cooking, for the French, is a way of life. 

When temperatures rise, humans sweat, dogs pant, and cats . . . don't move enough to overheat? Well, partially. Cats, who need to maintain an internal body temperature of 101°F to 102°F, have several methods for keeping cool in sweltering (酷热难耐的)weather.

It's a misconception that cats sweat through their paws to cool themselves off. As summer wears on, you might see moist paw prints, but as veterinarian（兽医） Kimberly May told The Washington Post, "any secretions there or from their nose, mouth, or tongue are not for sweating; they're for protection and moisture and are insufficient to cool the blood. "

Instead, cats recreate the sweating process—which works to cool humans via evaporation（蒸发）—by grooming themselves regularly. The saliva from their tongues acts like sweat that cools their body when it evaporates—which is why you can also help cool your cat down by using a damp washcloth to lightly wet their fur. In extreme weather, cats will also pant, but unlike dogs who pant regularly to keep themselves cool, a panting cat is a sign of more dangerous over-heating or other serious diseases. 

And if you're tempted to shave your feline（猫科的）friend to help keep him cool—don't!

"Fur acts as a thermal regulator to slow down the process of heat absorption," James H. Jones, an expert in comparative animal exercise physiology and thermoregulation（体温调节）at the University of California at Davis, told The Washington Post.

Fur coats are highly evolved—in the winter they keep animals warm, but in the summer, they work both to protect delicate skin from the sun and slow dehydration (Jones notes that, according to research, shaved camels fared worse in the deserts than those with their fur intact). 

But even with these methods for keeping cool, cats also rely on the perks of domesticity to stay comfortable. So even though they evolved from wild ancestors and are able to tough it out, leave the A/C (or a fan) on for your cats when you go out, and make sure to leave them plenty of water. 

Over 1 in 10 young adults in the United States regularly use e-cigarettes, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

The study, conducted by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, provides a snapshot(大致印象) of e-cigarette use in 2021. Based on data from the National Health Interview Survey, the report identified that e-cigarette use generally declined as family income increased. Adults under 44 were more likely to be dual users of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

Previous findings from the National Health Interview Survey have shown that cigarette use has fallen to record lows. E-cigarettes, however, have flared in popularity. 

From 2020 to 2022, e-cigarette sales jumped in the United States, to 22. 7 million products sold each month, according to previous CDC research. More brands – particularly of disposable e-cigarette products – entered the market, while fruit and candy flavors that appeal to younger audiences surged in popularity. 

The new data indicates that a little under 1 in 20 adults reported in 2021 that they were current e-cigarette users, with slightly higher rates among men than women. Young adults, between the ages of 18 and 24, used e-cigarettes the most, with 11% indicating that they actively consumed the products. 

As people got older, the study found, rates of e-cigarette use dropped – but traditional cigarette use steadily climbed. About 11. 4% of survey respondents over 45 said they currently smoked cigarettes. 

For Dr. Joanna Cohen, director of the Institute for Global Tobacco Control at Johns Hopkins University, the young demographic(人群) of e-cigarette users is worrying. Young people who have never smoked cigarettes – rather than older cigarette users trying to break the habit – make up the bulk of e-cigarette consumers. 

"If e-cigarettes were being used as we would hope, the only people who should use them are those who are using them to quit smoking," said Cohen, who was not involved with the new research. "You will see very different patterns. "

In English, my name means hope. In Spanish, it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican record my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing. 

It was my great-grandmother's name and now it is mine. She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of the horse—which is supposed to be bad luck if you're born female—but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese, like the Mexicans, don't like their women strong. 

My great-grandmother. I would've liked to have known her, a wild horse of a woman, so wild she wouldn't marry. Until my great-grandfather threw a sack over her head and carried her off. Just like that, as if she were a fancy chandelier. That's the way he did it. 

And the story goes, she never forgave him. She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow. I wonder if she made the best of what she got or was she sorry because she couldn't be all the things she wanted to be. Esperanza. I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window.

At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth. But in Spanish, my name is made out of a softer something, like silver, not quite as thick as my sister name—Magdalena—which is uglier than mine. Magdalena who at least can come home and become Nenny. But I am always Esperanza. 

I would like to baptize myself under a new name, a name more like the real me, the one nobody sees. Esperanza as Lisandra or Maritza or Zeze the X. Yes. Something like Zeze the X will do.
