Once upon a time, there was a boy who always enjoyed listening to his mother's story about the statue (雕像) standing beside their house.

The statue's name was Miriad, who was the symbol of kindness. People who walked by the statue showed their respect through bowing (鞠躬) in front of Miriad's statue. It became a tradition in their village that everyman who died due to helping others would be honored as Miriad, and would be remembered by all the people.

One night, the boy asked his mother how Miriad gained his respect from all the people in this village. "He was just a simple man," his mother said. "He helped people selflessly, thinking others first. " "Well, I can also do that," the boy proudly told his mother. His mother continued, "That is the reason why people made Miriad a statue, for you child to copy and not to forget. "

One morning, the boy saw a little girl crying under an apple tree. "Why do you cry?" the boy asked. "I was trying to get myself some fruit from this apple tree and suddenly I fell down from it," the little girl explained. "Let me do it for you," the boy said. He started to climb up the tree and picked as many apples a she could. After a while, the boy jumped down from the tree and gave all the apples to the little girl.

Dr Richard Fairhurst's new book The New Age of Invention has just been published. It (suggest) that the present day is a new age for inventions, but many people might think that the great age of invention is over. That is interesting point.

There have been golden ages of invention throughout history. Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China: gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass. These  (wonder) things changed the world forever. 

Nowadays, we find  (our) in the great new age of technology. So are most of the new great inventions tech-based? A lot, yes. For example, advances in virtual reality and  (wear) tech, as well as the flexible battery, mean we should soon be seeing  (far) developments than before. In addition, important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to  (increase) computer power. 

New inventions like 3D printers have been used (make) replacement hearts and bone parts. In terms the environment, it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house, uses GPS technology to travel to different places, with computing technology controlling its "legs". What's more, huge advances in solar technology mean it can also be eco-friendly.

A few months ago, someone gifted us a Roomba, robot vacuum (真空的) cleaner. We already had a regular vacuum1 , so I didn't really see us using this new one. It just2 in its box.

One of our neighbors was moving away next week to a new3 and I thought of asking her whether this might be something she could use. It4 that she enthusiastically replied YES!! After all, her daughter's desire was unexpectedly5 . I couldn't tell you how overjoyed I was to see her daughter's6 when she came over. She was as7 about the flower seeds I gave her from our backyard to8 in their new home. In this way, they will always have a piece of our9 with them. . . she was really touched.

The nice thing was that the daughter would still be10 in our town. I told her that if she ever would need to stay over and not to drive 45 mins to the new house, our11  would be always here for her. 

She also told me that she was so12 that I chalked up (用粉笔画) a big pink heart on the front of our house on the13 of their farewell (告别) party . . . I haven't had the "14 " washed off yet. . I told her that maybe I would never do that, because I like, being reminded of how our hearts are15 to everyone.

If you use "123456", "password'' or "qwerty" as a password, you're probably aware that you're at the risk of being attacked by hackers (黑客). But you're not alone. Recently, password management service NordPass has carried out a study to determine the 200 most commonly used passwords around the world. They analysed the data across 50 countries.

The findings show password choices are often attached to cultural references. In the UK, "liverpool" was the third most popular password, with 224,160 hits, while the name of Chilean football club "colocolo" was used by 15,748 people in Chile, making it the fifth most common choice.

Women tend to use more positive and affectionate (深情的) words and phrases such as "sunshine" or "I loveyou", while men often use sports-related passwords. In some countries, men use more swear words than women.

Choosing long and complex passwords remains the main authentication mechanism (身份验证机制) for computers and network-based products and services. But we know people continue to choose weak passwords and often don't manage them securely.

To overcome the security issues linked with password-based authentication systems, researchers and developers are now concentrating on creating authentication systems which don't depend on passwords at all. For example, two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods are good ways to secure your accounts. These methods combine a password with biometric information (for example, a face scan or fingerprint) or something distinguishable, like a captcha (验证码). All in all, a secure password is the first line of defense against cyber attacks. Don't give up security for convenience.

A. They need the support of computer experts. 

B. The findings show that passwords tell our emotions. 

C. People in some countries take inspiration from a football team. 

D. The report also reflected different preferences between genders. 

E. These are among the most popular passwords around the world. 

F. Besides, there are other ways to protect your personal information. 

G. As a result, they put themselves under potential online security threats. 

Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.

After age 50, it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and thing quickly, says Dr. Smith of Brigham and Woman's Hospital in Boston.

The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink (萎缩), especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels (血管) narrow. 

Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don't re member even seeing it, that's far more concerning, Smith says.

When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's "a red flag that something more serious may be involved. " Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.

But even then, Dr. Smith says, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications like antidepressants.

You don't have to figure this out on your own. Dr. Smith suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的) reserve, Dr. Smith says.

"Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster (助推器).

If you grew up watching the kid's television channel Nickelodeon, you will probably understand that there is nothing greater than enjoying its special bright green slime ( 水晶泥). The week of May 11, astronauts (宇航员) aboard the International Space Station(ISS) joined the slime.

Nickelodeon sent two kilos of its green slime into space in the summer of 2019. The Slime in Space project's idea was to create an educational trip for teachers to use in class. The green slime was also used to guide astronauts through a series of experiments that were designed to learn more about how slime acts in microgravity.

Researchers from Portland State University(PSU) were excited to design the experiments for the project. Mark Weislogel and his partner designed eight shows for NASA astronauts and European Space Agency astronaut aboard to perform. 

If you're wondering what we could hope to learn from sending slime into space, the answer lies in its very name. Slime is slimy. This is because it is a liquid that is thicker than liquids like water. This makes slime act in unexpected ways in the microgravity of the ISS. Improving our understanding of how thicker liquids act in space may help us improve the design of systems that something were designed with Earth's gravity in mind.

"Interestingly, we consider liquid on Earth as that takes the shape of its container," Koch tells CNN. "Water just turns into a ball in microgravity, so we've had to have a new understanding of different kinds of matter in space. This experiment shows how microgravity can help us understand things on Earth, especially the things we take for granted. "

As a teenager, school was difficult for me. I had a kind of attention disorder, which means I couldn't direct my attention to what I was doing. So when everyone else in the class was centering their attention on tasks, I could not.

In my first reading class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all finished in 45 minutes. I immediately put up my hand and said, "Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to finish the task. "

She looked down at me through her glasses, saying, "You are not different from your classmates, young man. " With her encouragement, I tried. But I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn't I the "blind" in my class, being made to learn like the "sighted" students? With thoughts running through my head, I found myself deeply attracted in reading and writing. I completed the task in less than 40 minutes. I realized that I was not different from others. I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up?

I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an "A" on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, "See what you can do when you keep trying?"

The national parks of Russia are attracting many tourists. To make the selection of the popular parks easy for you, we prepared a few national parks worth visiting.

Elk (麋鹿) Island is the very first national park of Russia. It was established in the year 1983. The park is located to the north of the Capital City. If you are a true love of nature, then here you can enjoy riding a bicycle in the park. The entrance of this park is near the Belokamennaya station and no entry fee is there. If you are willing to visit the elks, then you need to take a bus directly from the metro station. 

◎ Pleshcheyevo Lake, Yaroslavl

It is located on the golden rule tourist route, and here you will get the feeling of ancient Rus. Travelers here love the picturesque view of the Sunset. The ancient city Pereslavl-Zalessky is surrounded by this park. You can get a bus directly from the Moscow Central Station. 

◎ Sochi National Park, Moscow

This park was also started in the year 1983. This park is situated 1000 miles south of Moscow. It is quite impressive to notice that since 2007, Caucasian leopards have been introduced again in this park. Waterfalls, caves, and canyons altogether make the atmosphere really enjoyable and you can also take pleasure swimming in the warm black sea. 

◎ Land of the Leopard, Vladivostok

If you are desirous to watch leopards, then Vladivostok is definitely the best place to visit. This place is situated 5600 miles away from east Moscow and here you will be able to get a glimpse of the wild cats — leopards. This region is spread from the Amur Bay. There is one single tourist route to enter the park.
