I stood in the school auditorium（礼堂）,VR headset on my head. The virtual forest buzzed with life—3D fireflies danced above a stream, their glow waving on the water. My team had spent months programming this for the Eco Youth Summit, to show how deforestation harms wildlife. The air smelled of fresh paint, and whispers from the audience reached me through the headset.

But as judges approached, the headset suddenly went dark. Panic surged through me. I tore off the device to see Maya frozen at the control panel（控制板）. "Server crashed," she mouthed, hands shaking over the black screen. "Our project—it's all gone." Murmurs rose in the crowd, and my neck burned under the stage lights.

I scanned the judges, their expectant smiles fading. A man in green tapped his writing board; the woman beside him frowned at her watch. Then my gaze met a girl in the front row, holding a stuffed owl（猫头鹰）. Her pigtails bobbed as she leaned forward, but when I shook my head, her eyes filled with disappointment—mirroring my sister's look when a trip is canceled.

"Wait," I claimed, grabbing Maya's arm. She shrank back, but I pressed on: "What if we tell the story without VR?" For a moment, she stared, then nodded sharply. Stepping to the stage edge, I said, "This forest isn't just code. It's a real home where owls nest..." My voice cracked, but words poured out—about drying rivers, about birds losing habitats.

When I finished, the auditorium fell silent. Suddenly the girl rose to her feet, with her sneakers making a sharp noise: "Instead of a virtual forest, can we plant a real tree?" The audience laughed softly, and judges exchanged nods. Maya's hand found mine, steady and warm. Though the VR failed, a definite idea had taken root.

Naipizi yogurt, or milk-skin yogurt, has emerged as Beijing's (late) internet-famous special cuisine. Combining traditional Mongolian dairy craftsmanship with modern dessert appeal, the smooth yogurt with its rich taste and unique flavor(strike) a sweet spot among China's youth recently.

Naipizi is a regional cuisine from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It (make) by boiling fresh milk and allowing it to cool. During the production process, exploded milk fat drops absorb milk proteins, reduces surface tension and enables the formation of a stable skin layer. As a result, traditional milk skin contains an exceptionally high fat, reaching up to(approximate)60 percent. To some extent, naipizi yogurt can be considered a modern (revive) of traditional Beijing yogurt. a new type of yogurt, naipizi does not undergo any stirring during fermentation (发酵), (result) in a thick, spoon-friendly mixture reminding us of custard (蛋奶糕).

China's Dietary Guidelines recommend 300-500g of dairy intake daily for adults, current national consumption averages less than one-tenth of this suggested target. Therefore naipizi yogurt has emerged as effective solution to people's dairy shortage. While not low calorie, naipizi presents a nutritional alternative to tasty desserts like sugar-laden cheesecakes.

Instead of fear, Armus felt5 for Plasencia and approached him, asking if he had a job. Plasencia hopelessly responded that he didn't want to6 anyone and that he just wanted to go to prison rather than continue his struggle, as there was nothing for him in town. Choosing empathy (同情)over7, Armus led Plasencia outside the bank and suggested they talk. Plasencia agreed, and the two walked out of the bank.

Once outside, Armus8 the man in a bear hug, and Plasencia started to weep in his embrace (拥抱). Police soon arrived with rifles (步枪)drawn and9 both men to the ground. It took 45 minutes for the police to realize Armus was not involved in the robbery and10 him. Plasencia, who never had a gun, was11attempted robbery.

Armus, described by the police as a(an)"12 and brave customer," was more modest, saying he13 felt Plasencia's pain and wanted to help. Armus, who volunteers to14 homeless people and keeps pillows and blankets in his car for those living on the streets, believes in the power of compassion. "Love15 all things, and the world needs more compassion," he says. "Try to be kind to somebody; it makes a difference."

High achievers' mindset. One thing that separates high achievers from underachievers is their mindset. High achievers think differently from the rest of us. First of all, they have high standards. Second, they possess self-confidence, They believe in their abilities to handle whatever challenges they may face.

Goal-oriented (导向) approach. To become an overachiever, set clear, specific, and relevant goals and use visualization (形象化) to paint a vivid picture of what you want to accomplish as your compass to guide and motivate your action. The next step is to break down your vision into proper goals. Priorities (优先事项) . Setting priorities is your guide to the right path. To get started, remove your to-do list. It's so easy to get annoyed when dealing with a million things at once. We all have a very limited amount of time, and not everything can be your priority.

It can really take your performance to another level. Though it is unwelcome to some, high achievement is unattainable without self-discipline. One of the best ways to become a high achiever is to set up an environment that supports your goals and leads you in the right direction. While routines might seem boring to some, they effectively streamline your actions, saving both time and effort. With a consistent daily schedule, there's no need to consider your next move.

A. Self-discipline.

B. Work-life balance.

C. Stay flexible and bounce back when things get off track.

D. If you copy key habits of high achievers, you will get similar results.

E. This way of thinking pushes them forward, fueling their pursuit of success.

F. Take a deep breath and start by identifying the most important tasks and goals.

G. And these goals should be specific, relevant, and achievable within your control.

Focusing on a frustrating conversation can blow out of proportion relatively minor annoyances, which is unhealthy, says Jesse Cougle, a psychology professor studying anger at Florida State University.

The problem is that when you're furious (愤怒的), it feels better to shout angrily than it does to take some centering deep breaths. Bushman has seen that in his research. Even though activities like hitting a punching bag don't actually lessen anger, "75% of people report feeling better" after they do it, he says. The same is often true for venting to a friend. It feels great to have someone support your perspective.

Can something that feels so good really be so wrong? Bushman says it's not always a bad thing to get something off your chest. Talking through a negative feeling with the goal of understanding why something bothered you and how to better respond in the future, such as with a therapist, can be beneficial, he says. But venting becomes less helpful, Cougle says, when it's mean-spirited—when you repeat the same thing you've done many times, keeping yourself stuck in that past anger without trying to move past it.

When you feel yourself getting stuck in the trap of venting, look for healthier coping strategies. If yoga and meditation aren't your thing, try a quick shift in perspective. Bushman's research supports the "fly-on-the-wall" technique, which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them angry. And finally, don't underestimate the impact of anger — that is, getting angry when you're hungry. Science suggests it's a real phenomenon. So next time you feel yourself gearing up for a venting session, think of grabbing a snack and taking a few deep breaths instead.

Oceana also estimates that by 2030, an annual 602 million kilograms of Coca-Cola's plastic packaging will be polluting the world's oceans and waterways. The report says that this is enough plastic to fill the stomachs of 18 million blue whales. Oceana made its estimates using Coca-Cola's own reported data on its use of plastic packaging between 2018 and 2023, and a forecast of the company's future sales growth based on past trends.

A 2024 study found that Coca-Cola is already the world's worst plastic-polluting brand. Oceana says the problem is Coca-Cola's use of single-use plastic instead of reusable packaging. Reusable bottles can be used up to 25 times if made of thicker plastic, and up to 50 times if made of glass. Coca-Cola previously had a goal of using 25% reusable packaging by 2030, but announced that it had given up that goal at the end of 2024.

Instead, the company says it will increase the use of recycled plastic in its packaging and increase collection of single-use plastic bottles for further recycling. However, Oceana says that relying on the use of recycled materials and collection of plastic for recycling won't reduce the great influence of Coca-Cola' s plastic footprint.

The organization's Senior Vice President Matt Littlejohn said: "Single-use plastic is bad for the oceans, human health, and business. Recycling can't solve the company's out-of-control plastic problem. Reuse can." He added, "Single-use plastic bottles made with recycled content can — just like bottles made of virgin plastic — still become marine pollution and harm ocean life." As well as harming sea life, plastic use is also harmful for human health. Several studies have connected plastic pollution and microplastics to serious health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease and dementia. Oceana suggests Coca-Cola should take real action that can address its plastic problem now, namely replacing single-use packaging with reusable packaging.

The victory capped a remarkable journey. Zhao entered the tournament through qualifiers (资格赛), defeating legends like Ronnie O' Sullivan in the semis. His victory completed a historic double for China — just months after Bai Yulu won the women's world title. As he held the cup high in Sheffield's Crucible Theatre, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Zhao's win resonated (影响) deeply in China, where snooker has grown into a national craze. It began in 2005 when Ding Junhui, now a national hero, became the first Chinese player to win a ranking event by defeating Stephen Hendry. That match drew 110 million viewers, sparking a boom. Despite setbacks, like Ding's 2016 World Championship final loss to Mark Selby, patience paid off. This year, 10 Chinese players reached the televised stages of the World Championship, with Zhao's final broadcast attracting an estimated 150 million viewers nationwide.

World Snooker chairman Jason Ferguson highly praised Zhao as a "national hero" who would redefine the sport. "He's rewritten history," Ferguson said. "The sky's the limit — he could become the richest player ever." For Chinese fans, Zhao's victory symbolizes a new era. After his near-collapse in the final (losing four frames while needing just one), they celebrated into the early morning, their pride echoing Ding's legacy. Zhao himself vowed to "give children in China power," believing his achievement would fuel countless aspirations.

As the nation's youngest world champion, Zhao's journey — from qualifiers to immortality —proves that with courage and talent, even the boldest dreams can become reality.

China's self-developed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner has entered mass production, (break) long-standing foreign technological monopoly (垄断). (develop) by researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIAT), the device has been used at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital. 

Li Ye, deputy director at the Institute of Biomedical and Health Engineering, SIAT, said, "The old MRI process was like taking (photo), through which the image (take) one by one. If the target moves a little, the final image will become indistinct. Now, such a fast imaging technology, the process is like making movies. We don't need to worry about a moving tissue, as we can see how it moves when it does." 

SIAT's success lies in governmental input and early-stage industrial integration. In 2022, the institute (receive) 3.3 billion yuan (about $458 million) in funding — 17 percent from fixed funds from governmental departments. Mentioning the industrial integration, Guo Wanda, the executive head of SIAT, said that their researchers and entrepreneurs are often based in the same building they can discuss new products or developments directly. 

Thanks to such a flexible working style, SIAT has also developed high-end devices other the MRI instrument, such as non-invasive ultrasound elastography that can provide (time) screening for liver and breast diseases, and major ultrasound neuromodulation devices developed (provide) treatment for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease which have begun clinical trials.

Working outside in this3 weather was tough.4, the students were inspired to complete the project because they sincerely hoped to5 the homeless. Some were moving pallets. Others were studying the blueprints of the tiny house being built,   6 what they had learned in math class.

As I assisted some students in7 a heavy section of pallet-constructed wall, I glanced over at Luca, whose eyes were filled with8. "Never in my life did I think I can build a house for the homeless, Mr. Riddle, and we're just kids! This is9!"

Two weeks. That was it. Through tapping into the learning potential of design thinking, our students10 more knowledge in those two weeks than they ever would have in a classroom. To11 this task, they developed a deep understanding of the issue that came from both "head knowledge" and "heart knowledge".12 by what they had learned, they believed that they could make a13.

At the end of our design14, Luca's mother approached me to discuss her son's work. She was glad to have her kid15 such a crazy school.

Emotions play a critical part in life. In order to grow and be better than before, you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Let's explore some powerful strategies to help you become emotionally mature!

Try using "I" statements

Whenever you feel hurt, you need to tell others your feelings in a considerate way. The best way to do this is by using "I" statements instead of "You" statements. For example, you should use the statement: "I feel miserable and heartbroken" instead of "You make me feel miserable and heartbroken".

Own your feelings

If you want to change yourself, start with taking ownership of your feelings. However, in some situations, instead of owning your feelings, you tend to deflect (转移) them and make others feel guilty about how you are feeling. Embrace them as a part of yourself because they are a part of you, right?

People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes; this happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it; this can be extremely annoying. Just as you aren't a mind reader, others aren't either. You need to share your needs with the other person, and they need to do the same with you.

Mind your actions and words

Often, you say a lot when you are emotional, especially when you are angry. You need to mind whatever you say and do; this can either make the other person love or hate you. The strategy in a stressful situation is to focus on yourself instead of focusing on others; this will calm you down instantly.

Always question your thoughts

Actions and words have the same importance; this is what I need you to understand. In some situations, your loved ones could be hurting you through their words or their actions, and you could also be wrong. What happens in more than 70% of situations is that you let negative thoughts take hold of you; this is completely wrong.

A. Attempt to be mind readers.

B. Communicate your needs.

C. You'd better not let negative thoughts question your judgment.

D. Thus, rather than dump them on others, learn to take charge of your feelings.

E. The approach is non-aggressive and describes you as emotionally mature.

F. If not controlled, it can have severe consequences, especially in your relationship.

G. Let's say that you get into a fight with your partner, and you also get hurt.

The LignoSat Space Wood Project is led by Japan's Kyoto University. The researchers began by sending a small panel containing three different wood samples to the ISS in 2022. The panel was exposed to space for ten months before being returned to Earth in early 2023. After analyzing the results, the team picked wood from magnolia trees for the satellite.

"Nobody had ever thought about using wood for rocket science before," said Professor Koji Murata of Kyoto University. "Many engineers thought wood was old technology and couldn't be applied to cutting-edge technology."

The main reason for testing a wooden satellite is to reduce space junk. Current satellites are primarily made of aluminum. The metal reacts with oxygen when the satellites burn up in Earth's atmosphere at the end of their life cycle. This process releases aluminum oxide particles, potentially damaging the ozone layer. Wooden satellites, which leave behind only water and carbon dioxide, could help alleviate this issue.

"All the satellites that re-enter the Earth's atmosphere burn and create tiny alumina particles, which will float in the upper atmosphere for many years," said Takao Doi, an aerospace engineer. "Eventually, it will affect the environment of the Earth."

Researchers also see a future where trees could be grown on the Moon and Mars. Successfully testing a wooden satellite will demonstrate that wood can withstand harsh space conditions.

LignoSat will orbit the Earth for six months, gathering valuable data before burning up in the atmosphere. Murata and his team aim to use this information to design larger and more advanced wooden satellites and devices.

The term "parasocial relationships" first appeared in the 1950s, when psychologists tried to understand how television viewers reacted to TV personalities speaking to them directly out of the screen. Later in the 70s and 80s, scholars began to assume that forming parasocial relationships was driven by loneliness. However, not-lonely people are just as likely to form a connection with that person on the screen. As fandoms（粉丝圈）became more visible throughout the latter half of the 20th century, parasocial relationships became associated with youth and immaturity.

It's true that adolescents particularly tend to develop intense parasocial relationships because it can be a chance to practice real adult feelings on someone at a safe distance. But digital interaction complicates these natural relationships. Since the rise of social media, the phenomenon of parasocial relationships has been hugely amplified（放大）. The traditional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan has no actual contact with a celebrity, is visibly changed by our new means of communication — a celebrity might see a fan's message or even reply.

When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness. People think they really have more of a relationship than they do. Online fandoms, especially large ones full of adolescents with strong emotions can generate bad behavior among adults. Behavior that might have been limited to one person or a few people might be, thanks to social media, given the chance to spread. "There's a sort of echo chamber effect（回声室效应）where people convince themselves, ‘everyone agrees with me and therefore we are all right in our approach,'" says Gayle Stever, the author of Parasocial Experiences.

Parasocial relationships are natural and not inherently （固有地）unhealthy. But as Stever says, "Anything that can be true about a regular social relationship can be true about a parasocialrel ationship."

Now, Sounds Right, an initiative from the Museum for the United Nations is cooperating with Spotify and other streaming platforms to recognize nature as a musician. This means that nature can be paid royalties (版税) that can be made use of when it comes to environmental causes and conservation. This new initiative allows artists who use environmental sounds to credit "Nature" as a featured artist and share the royalties.

"It's a way of saying to artists, We all use sounds like seagulls, waves and wind. Why don't we pay nature a royalty?" said Brian Eno, who remixed his collaboration Get Real with David Bowie. "Hopefully, it'll be a river, or a torrent, or a flood of royalties — and then what we do is distribute that among groups of people who are working on projects to help us deal with the future."

Other artists who contributed songs for the project include Tom Walker and Ellie Goulding, MO, and alternative music star Aurora who is releasing a new song, "A Soul With No King", that includes the sounds of a forest in her native Norway. "I feel like music that has the ability to make contact with nature seem appealing again," she said, "because, somewhere deep inside our soul, we are really yearning for it."

While there has been a long debate on whether streaming contributes to harmful emissions, giving nature credit and royalties can turn streaming to the right side of climate action. This project is just one of a growing movement to give nature legal rights and could restore the weak relationship between humans and the environment.
