During the October holiday, my parents and I made a trip to Mount Wuyi, is lying at the junction (交叉点) of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. It is a popular tourist attraction. In December 1999, Mount Wuyi was listed as the World's (culture) and natural heritage by the UNESCO.

With rich tourism resources, Mount Wuyi is a good place (relax) ourselves. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty (1100-771 BCE), it was well-known as a place of interest. It is (amaze) that there are 2,527 kinds of plant species and about 5,000 species of wild animals. Some of them (face) great survival challenges in the past but now measures are being taken to protect them by the local people.

Mount Wuyi Scenic Area is (extreme) large. The distance between attractions is so long we were not able to visit all the sites in the mountain. We only reached some main attractions such Heavenly Tour Peak, Wuyi Palace, Dahongpao Tea Trees, Water Curtain Cave. These famous sights left us a deep (impress). Though tired, we enjoyed ourselves. We're looking forward to (explore) other attractions in Mount Wuyi next time.

Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. , they can get a little complex. But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.

. They're the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.

Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.

The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. .

A. While all of them are useful

B. Whatever you're looking for

C. If you're experimenting with a color

D. Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with

E. It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces

F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time

G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways

In social situations like these, our minds can offer a variety of explanations, ranging from ones that are kind to ones that put the blame on the other party. Psychologists refer to this as our attributional style. Past research has found that individuals with a hostile attributional style— that is, who tend to think others' action is a result of bad intentions— tend to be less satisfied with their relationships.

According to a new study in the Journal of Happiness Studies, they're also generally less happy. That means that all those little assumptions we're making about other people might be something we can work on to improve our well-being.

In the study, 707 participants from the United States, Poland, and Japan were asked to analyze situations like the one above. Participants then rated the situation on three factors: how much they thought the other person acted purposely, how much blame they put on them, and how angry they were, as a measure of hostile attributions. They also filled out a questionnaire about the degree they considered themselves a happy person.

The researchers found that people who gave others the benefit of the doubt all the time were happy, compared to the participants who always blamed others. People who only sometimes gave others the benefit of the doubt were also happier.

The researchers can't say for sure whether seeing people as unfriendly directly lowers our happiness, or whether unhappy people are just more likely to make hostile attributions in the first place. However, this study does suggest the possibility that giving people the benefit of the doubt can improve our relationships and our well-being.

Dorota Jasielska, assistant professor at the Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw and lead author of the paper, suggests that we start by developing positive and trusting social relationships. When we find ourselves surrounded by warmth and support, it can help us to see the social world in a more positive light. If you feel lonely, volunteering or joining friendly welcoming organizations can be a good way to broaden your social circle.

Another important strategy is to have open and direct communication. Instead of letting your anxieties get worse, Jasielska explains, it may be better to simply talk to people about their confusing behavior.

So the next time a friend calls off plans or forgets to text back, consider giving them the benefit of the doubt and waiting to hear their side of things before jumping to conclusions. Assuming others have good intentions— particularly the people we already know and love—will make the world seem like a friendlier place.

With video games, "all of sudden English becomes an instrument, something that's very useful for them in order to progress in the game, "says the author of the study, Signe Hannibal Jensen, professor at the University of Southern Denmark. This changes kids' focus from "learning to learn", as in a classical school setting, to "learning to play".

It makes sense that "the very things that we can't drag out of students in school are the kinds of things that they're doing for fun on their own outside school," says Steven Thorne, a professor of second language acquisition at Portland State University. "You're sharing an activity. You're sharing a passion," he says.

The language learning isn't only effective in learning English. From Internet-spotty central Pennsylvania, Fiona Girotti explained how her love of K-pop led her to turn to an online gaming platform she used to learn Korean. She says learning grammar online is tough, and gaming isn't a direct replacement for in-person- instruction. "But you get good at conversations, sentences, and things you can say to anyone," says Fiona.

And her online language practice is working. When Ms. Girotti listens to pop now, she can understand many words. It's not really the same as being in class, though. "Of course, classes are structured. When you're just me, earning independently, you don't really understand the grammar," she says. She uses a grammar app on her phone to understand tricky sentences.

Dr. Thorne notes that video games are not a perfect solution. "Some gaming environments are very language heavy and language rich. Others don't really require much language at all,"he says. He warns that gaming isn't always good, and players can become dependent on games. But combine a quality, communication-dependent game with the 15 hours a week kids spend gaming, and learning will come out of that, he says.

In the future, video games might become a more practical option among the instruments language learners already use, including phone apps, podcasts. YouTube videos, and in-person instruction Jonathon Reinhardt, an associate professor at the University of Arizona and president of the Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium(CALICO), says it makes sense that gaming would increasingly enter into more formal classroom settings. "What we're going to see is generation who grows up with games and recognizes their potential as learning objects," he says. "They have the skills and the abilities to build these sorts of things."

Growing up in Norway, I was easily exposed to the wilderness. Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born. I spent hours skiing in the mountains, camping under stars, and starting campfires with frozen fingers.

At 14, I made a brave decision — to ski across Greenland. Most people doubted me. I was just under 5 feet tall and looked more like a child than an explorer. But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger. "You must be strong and smart," be told me over and over.

To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland.

Encouraged, at 15, I decided my next goal was Antarctica. My father helped me make plans. My mother, though cautious, eventually supported me. When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole. I stood in silence, tears freezing on my cheeks. I sent Lars a chick emoji — at last, the "polar egg" hatched.

These days, a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle is often a (common) accepted part of modern-day living, but this kind of lifestyle can come with serious health risks. So, what can you do about it? A new study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise has an answer.

In the study, 11 healthy, middle-aged and older adults (invite) to sit in a lab for eight hours for five days. On one day, they sat for the full eight hours, only (get) up for bathroom breaks. On the other days, the researchers tried different (strategy) for preventing the participants from sitting long, their goal being to discover what the (little) amount of walking we could do to reduce the harmful effects of sitting long.

they found was that a five-minute walk every half an hour was able to significantly reduce blood sugar levels and (tired), and improved the participants' mood. That said, they saw that even short walks — such a one-minute walk every hour — still reduced blood pressure in the participants.

it comes to breaking out of a sedentary lifestyle, it can be hard to know where (begin). But this study provides a stepping stone to discovering how best to feel the full benefits of movement.

It's no secret that the internet is home to some shady characters, but staying safe online doesn't require you to turn your internet off. Instead, stay mindful and take a look at these easy tips on internet safety.

When it comes to online safety, it goes without saying that you should never share your passwords, banking information, or address online. Keep in mind that identity theft isn't the only risk. For example, information about your relationships could be used to figure out answers to your security questions or even give hackers (黑客) a tip-off when it comes to guessing your password.

Double-check any links before you click.

When checking your email or looking through social media, make sure you know and trust any links before you click on them. One way to tell if a link is safe is to run a mouse over it. Check to make sure the preview link matches the site it should be from. You can verify (证实) the correct site link by googling the company name.

Create and use complex passwords.

You should always use complex passwords to improve internet safety. If you need some help coming up with a secure password, here are some tips. Make it at least 15 characters long-longer, if possible. Don't use sequences of numbers or letters, like "qwerty."

Back up your data.

Most Macs and PCs have the option to let you back up your data, and it's worthwhile taking the time to do it every so often. Data backups can be a lifesaver if your computer gets infected with a virus.

A. Be careful who you chat with.

B. Mix up letters, numbers, and symbols.

C. Don't share your personal information.

D. This will show a preview of the full link.

E. This tip includes links sent to you by friends.

F. You can restore your computer to its original state.

G. Some details are riskier to share than you'd expect.

Research shows that a teacher's posture can be important in successful classroom behaviour management and that, when trying to convey a message, how you put your point across can carry much more significance than the point itself.

In a 2018 study, Teachers' Strategy of Positioning in Teaching Young Learners by Novi Rahayu Resuningrum, of YARSI University in Indonesia, it was said that if you use a strong posture and confident body language, you show your students that you're approachable, that you support their learning and that you aren't posing a threat for them to act out against. What's more, the study showed that this positioning is an element that needs to be considered carefully before teaching, or when you plan the lesson, to be able to teach effectively in terms of time and method.

But what is a "confident" body position? And what else do you need to know about the signals that your body is giving out around behaviour management?

For a start, trying to look tough will almost certainly fail, says Esther Miltiadous, a body language expert who works with the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. The organisation is set up by teachers to train colleagues to act properly. "Trying to look authoritative by having a military posture, with your chest out and shoulders back, can be really tiring on the body, and it's also quite aggressive (咄咄逼人的)," she explains.

The first thing many will think of is the different writing system. Indeed none of the State Department's hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet (字母表) used by most European languages. Chinese stands out for its difficulty. Arabic is alphabet, with just a couple of dozen letters. Its two complications are that letters change shape depending on where they appear in a word (beginning, middle, end or alone) and that short vowels (元音) are not written.

A second way languages can be hard is with sound distinctions that do not exist in the learner's language. In Hindi, the t-and d-sounds can be retroflex (卷舌音的) or not, making two different letters that can distinguish two different words (moti with a retroflex means "fat, thick" and with a non-retroflex t means "pearl").

The words obviously matter too. Most European languages share an ancestor and so their words, too, often come in related pairs. If you know water in Spanish is agua, it is easy to figure out Italian aqua and English aquatic. Languages unrelated to European ones will lack linguistic (语言的) similarity in vocabulary.

Grammar can further complicate foreign language learning. Therefore, the overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system, sounds, words and grammar. These come in different percentages: one professor of Chinese has called it the most difficult language he has ever learned to write and the easiest he has learned to speak.

If you want to learn a language just for fun, start with Swedish. If you want to learn an impressive number, stay in Europe. But if you really want to impress, boosting your brain power to master Chinese is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman.

Beginning her research in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park in 1960, the 26-year-old Goodall brought a fresh perspective to animal behavior studies. With no formal scientific training, she pioneered a compassionate, non-invasive approach to observing chimpanzees. She broke scientific conventions by giving the chimpanzees names like "David Greybeard" instead of numbers, allowing her to document their individual personalities and complex emotional lives. Her patience and dedication led to revolutionary discoveries, including her observation of chimpanzees using and making tools — a capability once thought unique to humans.

Goodall's most famous discovery came when she witnessed David Greybeard modifying a twig to "fish" for termites. This finding, along with her records of chimpanzees exhibiting behaviors such as hunting, warfare, and displaying emotions like grief and joy, fundamentally challenged the boundaries between humans and other animals. Her methods, initially criticized by some scientists, ultimately revolutionized the field of primatology and established a new paradigm for animal behavior research.

Beyond her scientific contributions, Goodall transformed into a global conservation leader. She established the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and founded the "Roots & Shoots" youth program in 1991, empowering young people in over 100 countries to take action for people, animals, and the environment. Honored as a UN Messenger of Peace and receiving numerous awards, including the presidential Medal of Freedom, Goodall's true legacy lies in the enduring hope she instilled in millions worldwide. She proved that one person's dedication can indeed change the world.

T-Centralen Station

Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm has no shortage of striking subway stations, but perhaps the most recognizable is T-Centralen station. Known as the "blue platform," this cave-like stop is decorated with plant patterns painted on raw granite rock (花岗岩) by artist Per-Olof Ulvedt. The station is one of the first in the city to host works of art.

Toledo Station

Naples, Italy

Toledo station offers a futuristic look. The station has become a source of inspiration for photographers thanks to its underground room dominated by Crater de Luz, a sculpture by architect Oscar Tusquets Blanca, which passes through each level of the station. The walls are covered in a mosaic (马赛克) of white, blue, gold, and black tiles (瓷砖).

Old City Hall Station

New York, City the US

Though it hasn't been in use since 1945, the Old City Hall stop is still one of the most beautiful stations in the New York City subway system. Among the standout features are the skillfully tiled archways by Spanish architect Rafael Guastavino, as well as the arched ceilings, skylights, and colorful glass windows.

Arts et Métiers Station

Paris, France

Arts et Métiers station lies below Paris's surface like a submarine (潜水艇). As you step inside, your eye is drawn to massive gears (齿轮) hanging from the ceiling and portholes filled with imagery from the 19th century. The station was updated in 1994 by Belgian comic book artist François Schuiten, who drew inspiration from the science fiction works of Jules Verne and the nearby Musée des Arts et Métiers, an industrial design museum featuring inventions from the 18^th and 19th centuries.

The Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, is a hot tourist attraction. Built in 1420, the palace recorded lives of important people through various relics and documents. The Forbidden City made a two-day broadcast (celebrate) its 600th birthday in April, 2020. The museum can provide a large amount of (value) material for today's historical research, as well as inspiration for literature and entertainment.

In addition a look at the history, the Forbidden City is also creative in terms of marketing. Over the last decade, the museum (produce) more than 10,000 cultural products featuring the imperial (皇家的) palace and (it) exhibits (展品), from fans, notebooks to apps and cosmetics (化妆品). The most popular products are the ones that feature the royal cats. The cat products are (real) inspired by the cats who call the Forbidden City home. More than 200 cats are living in the palace where they are being well (care) for. These small cute animals often walk around freely and pose cutely to make (visit) laugh, who sometimes can play with them.

"The real reason the Palace Museum has become so popular among people is that it keeps the right balance (平衡) among preserving (保留) history, sharing knowledge, and providing interesting interactive shows," Shan Jixiang, former director and curator (馆长) of museum, told China Daily.

We bought a baguette. As we ate, I noticed a girl in a queue smiling at us.

I met her again when she sat on a bench, enjoying her bread in front of a riverboat named Voyageur. Soon she boarded the boat. Then I noticed a colourful handbag on the3. The girl had left it!

She was on the upper deck (甲板)! I held up the bag and4 it to get her attention. When she noticed the bag, she opened her mouth5. But her face fell — the boat started to pull away from the dock (码头).

"We can6 it! The boat's next stop is Valence!" Gabriel came up.

"Great! But do you think we can7 ?" I asked.

Gabriel laughed. "We're going to find out!"

We set off. It was a race now:8 against the boat. If the boat beat us to Valence, we might9 have the chance to give back the bag.

Pedaling hard, we quickly caught up to the Voyageur. When the boat disappeared10us, we felt confident enough to relax our pace.

Then it happened: pffft! Flat tire (轮胎漏气)! My heart sank.

We had to stop and took out the tools when the Voyageur was coming near. I saw the girl again. She noticed our11 and shook her head sadly.

After a quick12, we were back on our way. The boat pulled ahead. We watched13 as the boat disappeared around a bend.

Finally we arrived,14 the Voyageur had docked. We failed!

Gabriel suddenly shouted, "I see her!"

The girl was strolling towards us! "You followed my boat!" she smiled.

"No, your boat followed us," I15. "Until I got a flat tire, that is." I handed her the bag.
