Practicing gratitude can increase feelings of happiness and life satisfaction while decreasing depressive symptoms.  To start improving your gratitude skill, try the following gratitude challenges. 

Reflect on the gifts of hardship. There is no question that life can be challenging, as things don't always turn out the way we'd hoped. It may seem difficult to reflect on challenging times and find a reason to be grateful, but in making our pain purposeful, we can find meaning in the experience.

Express gratitude to others in writing. Send each of them a quick but considerate correspondence in the form of a handwritten note, email or even a thoughtfully composed text. Remind them of why they are special to you and how worthwhile they are in the world. As a result of your effort, those on the receiving end will experience the mood-boosting benefits of being appreciated. They won't be the only beneficiaries. Writing letters of gratitude has a positive effect on the author, increasing feelings of happiness while decreasing depression, studies have shown.

 An important aspect of practicing gratitude regularly is becoming aware of opportunities throughout your day to express gratitude. Acknowledge at least two times a day that someone spreads a small act of kindness toward you. These acts could be a delivery person bringing a package to your door, a coworker offering assistance at work or your significant other getting you a coffee. 

When you finish the challenges, hopefully you'll be inspired by the mood-boosting benefits and continue actively practicing gratitude on a daily basis.

A. Catch the chances of acting kindness. 

B. Notice and appreciate the small stuff. 

C. Think of three people in your life that you truly appreciate. 

D. All of us experience dilemmas at different points in our lives. 

E. The benefits of thankfulness extend to both the giver and receiver. 

F. Gratitude takes practice to realize its full potential, just like any other skill. 

G. Once recognizing their efforts, you can consistently show your appreciation better. 

On paper, hydrogen(氢气) looks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are trickier. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing(压缩) it several hundred times. Transforming it into liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to －253℃. Either process requires rugged tanks. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing cracks. Tanks must be built from special materials designed to resist this breakdown. 

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute, led by Marcus Vogt, think that supplying hydrogen as goop(糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations. They have been experimenting with a chemical compound that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand. 

Their invention, which they nickname "powerpaste", looks like toothpaste. Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride(氢化镁), a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide(氢氧化镁). The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel cell, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is emptied from the reactor automatically.

Dr Vogt's scheme offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more conventional ways of handling hydrogen. One is the storage of energy than either batteries or petrol can manage. A second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of swapping an empty container of paste for a full one, and topping up the water, which is stored in a separate tank. A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf. Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, as are the reaction's by-products.

But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water. To overcome this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly accelerates the reaction. They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled precisely enough to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment. 

The short film Piper, released by Pixar in 2016, won the 89th Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. Piper was written and directed by Alan Barillaro, previously working in the animation(动画片) department. It's a wonder that he had the fortune to win Oscar for his first film.

The short film follows a baby bird named Piper, as she learns and overcomes her fears of finding food at the seafront. Piper is encouraged to peck(啄) at the sand beach but gets wet through with water from a wave. Discouraged by the terrible wave, she hopes to get food from her mother but fails. After gathering up the courage again, she meets a hermit crab(寄居蟹) who shows her not to be scared of the ocean but to embrace it. Finally, she discovers the secret of the ocean and feeds herself even her family. It's a story about facing challenges and not being discouraged by failure. Like Piper, we can always find solutions and come out stronger than ever before.

Somehow Pixar manages to fit all of these into a five-minute-long short film, without using any spoken language and entirely by animation. Movements and personified facial expressions are what drive this story in this film. Much like the nature documentary, the continuous pulling of the shallow focus adds the sense of realism. The clean and clear animation allows for even the slightest micro-expressions to be picked up by the audience. And the music is consistent with Piper's emotions, making the audience feel the same way.

This film and lots of others by Pixar make us laugh and cry all the time. By fitting a simple story with simple characters, we are led through challenges to a satisfying conclusion for our characters. It's one of the best short films in a long time.

An 89-year-old man, Manfred Steiner, has reached a goal he spent 20 years working toward and nearly a lifetime thinking about：earning his PhD. And now he is a physicist. 

Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted and because he overcame health problems that could have affected his studies. "But I made it, and this was the most satisfactory point in my life to finish it, "he said.

When he was young, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein. But his mother and uncle persuaded him that studying medicine would be a better choice. He earned his medical degree in 1955 and moved to the US soon after. 

Steiner studied hematology(血液学) at Tufts University and biochemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He became a full professor and led the hematology department at Browns' medical school from 1985 to 1994. Steiner helped establish a research program in hematology at the University of North Carolina. He directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000.

Steiner found medical research pleasing, but it was not quite the same as his interest in physics. "It was something like a wish that was never fulfilled, that always stuck in the back of my head, "he said. At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes.

Physics professor Brad Marston was surprised when Steiner entered his quantum mechanics class. But he became Steiner's adviser for his dissertation(学位论文) after realizing how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. "He has written many papers in medical science, more papers than I've written in physics, "Marston said. "One thing that's really true about Manfred is that he perseveres. "

After the university published a story about Steiner on its website, people across the US contacted him to ask for advice on how to go after their dreams later in life. His advice is：Do what you love to do. 

She asked with anxiety，"？"

When you attend an interview, what you need to do is .

， I must go home to do my homework.

We  the examples of our excellent schoolmates and make ourselves useful to the whole society.

We should keep ourselves away from the negative information on the Internet and reduce the time we spend online .
