China's most complicated and challenging space adventure--the Chang'e 5 robotic lunar mission — ended successfully early Thursday morning with its load of rocks and dust from the moon (land) on the grasslands in northern China.

The recovery team will make initial processing of the capsule and then use a plane to transport it to Beijing, it'll be opened for (technique) to remove the container holding 2 kg of lunar samples from a (previous) unvisited area known as "Ocean of Storms", the China National Space administration said.

Next, the sealed samples will be transferred to specially (design) laboratories for analyses, experiments and tests so scientists can determine the extraterrestrial (地球以外的) substances' composition, structure and traits. This can (deep) their knowledge about the history of the moon and the solar system. In addition those scientific objectives, project planners also want the mission to help to foster the country's knowledge, technology and talent pool for its future manned lunar missions and other deep-space expeditions. Therefore, certain proportion of the samples will also be on public display to enhance science (aware) among the public especially young generations.

 The successful landing marked the completion of the historic 23-day Chang'e 5expedition, the first in more than 40 years (bring) lunar samples back to Earth, also making China the third country to achieve this feat after the United States and the former Soviet Union. 

 John Ogburn doesn't remember a single thing about Monday, June 26, 2017. He doesn't remember collapsing to the floor at about 4:15 pm, his heart having gone completely, terrifyingly1  . 

Bradley was just starting her2 at Panera when her brother told her someone had 3 in the back of the restaurant. When they got to John, he was spread on the4 . His face was dark purple. "It was the 5 thing I've ever witnessed," Bradley says. She dialed 911. It was 4:17 pm.

As6 would have it, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Lawrence Guiler, who had been a EMT (内科急救专家), was about 50 feet away. Guiler arrived at Panera7 and began CPR. Within 30 seconds, another8 , Nikolina Bajic, rushed in. He was9 handling an accident nearby. A few minutes later, four Charlotte firefighters arrived, opened John's air- way, and filled him with an oxygen mask. They took turns performing CPR. They also used a defibrillator (除颤器) to try to 10 his heart into restarting. It didn't.

 Around 4:30 pm, while John was receiving CPR from a total of eight first 11  , his iPhone started ringing. It was his wife. She was told John had gone into heart12  . 

"It was terrifying," she says. Someone informed her that John had received CPR for 38 minutes before they established a pulse. John was 13 to the intensive care unit and treated in hopes of giving his body time to recover. Two days later ― on his 36th birthday, in fact ― he started to wake up.

14 , the only aftereffects were some short-term memory loss and an extremely sore chest from the 3500 compressions (胸部按压). "Seeing that he made a full15 is ― I can't even explain it," Dr. Mel Laughlin says. "Everything that could go right for him did."

Hanfu is a traditional robe of the Han people, which has a history of thousands of years in China. The number of people adopting the ancient style of dress in modem times has grown significantly these days. The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan (US$140.7 million). However, it may be too early to call it a "revival" (复兴).

And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail (零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China's population is more than 1.3 billion.

Having played a major role in China's clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s. After pursuing Western fashion, it's natural that Chinese people are returning to traditional clothing in search of their cultural identity.

But what is the obstacle of hanfu's revival, despite people's love for it? The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.

 Short-video and live-streaming apps are the other sources that promote the hanfu culture. But most of these live streamers have their own shops. To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture. 

 If these live-streamers really want to develop the hanfu culture, they should change their attitude and work together for the betterment of the hanfu industry. 

 A. One billion yuan is a huge figure. 

 B. The lack of a standard seems to be the main problem. 

 C. The popularity of hanfu reflects the diversity of Chinese culture. 

 D. This means they promote hanfu culture to increase their own profits. 

 E. Even the traditional Korean and Japanese costumes originated from it. 

 F. This has prompted many to say it symbolizes the revival of Han or hanfu culture. 

 G. It is natural for Chinese people to show their love for traditional culture by wearing hanfu. 

The new radio programme from Self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me. In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness. I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm "no" is one of the basis for a happy life. I was, however, interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away?

Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case? As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.

There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn't take it ― which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.

There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal ― which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.

And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them. Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.

Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time? Did I need to figure them all out again? I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place, and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years. Then I've come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I'm a beginner again, and that's fine. In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.

We are often so attracted by the promises of modern digital life that we fail to notice its danger. It's that feeling of losing control that we get a dozen times a day, from when we get distracted with our phones in a discussion to when we can't appreciate a private moment without sharing it with virtual audience.

 In my first attempt to get control over my technology use, I set my phone to vibrate rather than ring. Soon after, another problem appeared. The act of continually checking the phone became a habit. I knew then that using only tips to permanently reform digital life is difficult. We should go past the notification settings on our devices or apps and consider the more essential topic of why we use so many apps in the first place. What all of us who are struggling with these challenges need is a technology usage philosophy, something that explains from the ground up which digital tools we allow into our lives, why, and under what conditions. 

Cal Newport, a professor of computer science defines Digital Minimalism as a "philosophy of technology use in which you focus your online time on a small number of carefully selected activities that strongly support the things you value, and then happily miss out on everything else".

 To do so, however, we cannot passively allow the tools and apps provided by the Internet age to control how we spend our time or how we feel. Instead, we must take steps to draw the positive aspects of these technologies while sidestepping the negative aspects. 

 I was born in 1990 — the year of the white horse. A girl born under this zodiac (生肖) is believed to have a wild, steed-like (骏马般的) spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. These beliefs were planted in my mind as a girl growing up in South Korea. I was repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try being still, gentle, and quiet. 

 Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors. I often returned home with soiled clothes. 

In high school, I settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That's when a teacher said, "You could always get a science degree, and go back into law."

 I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology ( 地质学). Shortly 

thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required strenuous (费劲的) hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such "wild" activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them.

By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I'd given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn't quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.

I'm now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments, and I'm thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me. My wild, steed-like spirit wasn't something to suppress ( 压 制 ). Instead, it led me to a career that's a perfect fit for me.

A Harvard nutritionist shares 4 brain foods that will help your kids stay "sharp and attentive".

 Home-made hummus 

 Beans are healthy, plant-based sources of iron, zinc, protein, omega-3s and fiber, benefit- ing brain development. Home-made hummus is a good way to include beans into your child's diet. It can be served in so many ways, such as a dip paired with apple slices, carrot sticks or sugar snap peas. Adding some color to your hummus can make it more attractive to kids. Think: a bright orange carrot hummus topped with a monster face made out of vegetables. 

 Salmon 

 Introducing your child to fish at a young age can increase their likelihood of enjoying it and eating low-fat, vitamin-rich proteins for the rest of their life. Salmon is soft and mild enough for young children, and is also a good source of vitamin B12 and omega-3s, which promotes healthy brain development and happier moods. 

 Eggs 

 Whole eggs are an excellent source of brain-boosting vitamins A, D and B12, along with choline ( 胆 碱 ). Choline is especially important for young children, as it has been shown to improve brain development and long-term memory. One study found that pastured eggs can have twice as much vitamin E and almost three times as many omega-3s as caged eggs. 

 Meatballs 

 Add some powerful plant-based fiber and nutritious vegetables to your child's diet through meatballs. Start with a base of beans or ground turkey. Then add grated celery and flax seeds full of omega-3s. Of course, don't forget your favorite spices. Cook and serve.
