India became the fourth country to reach the moon after it successfully landed its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft August 23 last year. While India follows Russia, the US, and China to the moon, it is the first (land) on a lunar pole. Chandrayaan-3 achieved a "soft landing"- landing gently, without damage, enabled it to employ a rover(探月车) to explore the lunar surface. The lunar south pole is subject of interest for scientists, particularly because of the (discover) of traces of water ice. Water is important for future space exploration, serving as a possible fuel source for rockets. The mission has already made (excite) findings.

According to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the rover has found sulfur(硫磺) and several other (element). These findings are important as they add to our understanding of the moon. This mission also puts India on the map as a rising power in space exploration. The ISRO (conduct) the mission with a budget of about US$75 million, (significant) lower than similar projects by other nations.

This achievement for India is not just a win for the country also a super significant step forward for global efforts in space exploration.

Hearing I felt trapped and lived a life of fear, a1 friend who is brave and capable, gave me the advice that changed my life. "Starting today, do something2 every day that terrifies you. Magic may exist in those little things."

Knowing something in my life needed to3, I took her advice and accepted fear willingly. I gave myself permission to4 new opportunities. My wise friend's advice became my motto. It5 me to be intentional with my thoughts and actions. In the years to come, following this advice opened doors that I didn't even know had been closed.

Years of6 being brave meant that bravery became easier and easier. I felt7 confident and capable for the first time. This newfound bravery of mine was8 one day when my husband presented me with the real9 of moving to a foreign country. For years, he had10 of moving our family overseas to pursue a different route for his career. Held back by11, never before would I have considered taking this giant12. However, this was the new me who didn't13 before a challenge. I was capable of anything.

Now one year into our life abroad, the days are still beautiful though14 at times. I get to try and fail, feel fear and choose to be brave every single day. I have learned regardless of my place in the world or the comfort of my surroundings, I will be okay. Fear is a teacher that taught us how to face the15.

Happy greeting

It's great to be welcomed home by our pet and your dog isn't doing this to show welcome to you;. This is also the case if your dog greets you when they are already wrapped up in another activity, like playing or eating. It is known to all how much they like their treats, so you know you're well-loved if they choose you over that!

When your pet chooses to look at you with soft, relaxed eyes, they trust you and are happy in your company, accepting you as non-threatening. And, it could be argued, that trust is the highest form of love.

Hugs (on your pet's terms)

Your dog can choose to curl up wherever they like, so when they hug you, they are actively choosing you. This can range from full body hugs to them leaning into you to ask for some love. However, any hug must always be on your pet's conditions and personalities..

Tail wagging

A wagging tail can display a whole range of emotions from your dog, but you'll know it's a sign of love when they treat you to a full body wiggle. Their tail will turn around in circular movements like helicopter propellers (螺旋桨)..

Licking you

Your dog may lick you for a variety of reasons, but one of them is affection and love. They are ultimately seeking attention from you because they want to interact with you.

A. Soft eye contact.

B. Cheerful and excited barking.

C. Actually, it's a sign that they are pretty happy to see you.

D. In actuality, it's a sign that they are hungry and eager for some treats.

E. Some dogs will find having someone's arms around them stressful and uncomfortable.

F. Our cats and dogs can't tell us how they feel, so what are the other signs that you share a special connection?

G. This type of tail wagging is usually reserved for people that are special to them, and is mostly used when dogs see their owners.

Habitats that are considered important to the White's Seahorse include natural habitats such as sponge gardens, seagrass meadows and soft corals. The main cause for the reduction in the population of White's Seahorse is the loss of natural habitats across their range in eastern Australia. The seahorses occur within coastal areas which are easily affected by human population pressure. With tourists and locals crowding into these coastal areas, the sea water quality is worsening and more sand is building up along the coast.

To increase its population, Australian scientists are working on an interesting project. The first part involved collecting six pairs of adult seahorses from the wild and putting them in tanks for breeding (繁育). In the wild they are known to live for up to six years and the breeding season is from September to around February. They display long-term devotion to their partners. Pairs of male and female White's Seahorses mate for life, and unlike most animals, the males are the ones that give birth. In this experiment, each male seahorse had between 50 and 150 babies. The second part of the project is to give the young seahorses ID tags (标签) and release them into special living environments in the wild. These "seahorse hotels" start as artificial homes. Then as algae (海藻) grow on them, they become natural ones for the seahorses.

The idea of seahorse hotels was inspired by thrown-away crab traps that had accidentally become habitats for other types of sea life, whose populations increased in them. Scientists can easily monitor the growing seahorse population with the ID tags. Seahorses use their tails to hold onto the frame of the hotel so they're not swept away by ocean's currents. Experiments of similar seahorse hotels are taking place in several other countries.

Exports do not mean overcapacity. In a global economy with a high division of labor and specialization, it is normal for a country's productive capacity to go beyond its domestic demand. For example, about 80% of the cars produced in Germany are exported. Commercial aircraft giants Airbus and Boeing export most of their planes to other countries. While Chinese clean technology accounts for only a small fraction of China's exports, about 4.5 percent last year, far less than Germany. In fact, the Global Electric Vehicle Outlook, released last year, claimed that the global demand for new electric vehicles will reach 45 million units, which China's new energy products do not go beyond.

America's new energy industry falls behind due to underinvestment in green technology and infrastructure (基础设施). Take wind energy for example. A recent report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) shows that the United States is struggling in its development of wind energy. Building a wind farm requires huge turbine blades (涡轮叶片) and a lot of custom engineering to produce huge towers and foundations, which makes wind energy difficult to trade between countries, so the supply chain needed to run a wind farm smoothly faces great trouble.

China is the only country with enough supply chains to keep wind energy growing without difficulties. Chinese Vice Finance Minister Liao Min said green technology products in China will help the country meet its carbon emission targets and contribute to the global response to climate change and green development.

Mr Parish had originally intended to join the Royal Navy but ended up as a teacher at our school. Some pupils guessed that he still felt the call of the ocean-perhaps because his lessons were almost entirely devoted to navigation(航海). They argued that it was deeply unfair to learn about navigation but never actually go to sea. Then Mr. Parish, seeing a bunch of young people prepared to crew the boat, allowed them to sail her in return for working on the boat. And that was the beginning of the school sailing club.

By the time I arrived, the sailing club had grown. At weekends, we would work on her all day, cleaning and painting her, and collapse into sleeping bags on the floor at night. Then came the big day when a school sailing trip was announced. Its destination was Saint-Malo. But it also meant that we had to refit the ship by removing every piece of ballast(压舱物)and replacing the bilge water(底舱污水)before we were allowed to sail.

And I did learn the ropes on that school trip. I learned how to operate a ship in the high waves. I learned the meaning of teamwork and became a better team player. I also learned that the best fish is the one that you have caught and cooked yourself from a boat that you have rebuilt and sailed yourself.

Top of the Wolds 10K Challenge

This 10-km countryside track in Yorkshire is all fun until you take the left turn at Nunburnholme. At this point, you enter a serious uphill part, but thankfully the uphill part only lasts for around 1.5km. You'll have about a kilometre to enjoy the views before the way takes you downhill again, and back to where you started in Warter — a cute little village.

Scurry2Bridges Run

This 161-km relay race is divided into 16 parts, so you each run 4 separate parts. Over the course of this day-long adventure, you'll each run about marathon distance while the workers will drive around for pick-ups and drop-off s at relay exchange points between the start in Dundee and the finish in Edinburgh.

Scafell Sky Race

Here's a trail run (越野跑) that is not suitable for beginners. With a total of 3,500 m of ascent (上坡路), this is unquestionably one of the hardest events around. Good thing is that the views are beautiful, and that there's hot food and a bottle of apple juice waiting for you in the end.

Offa's Dyke 15

The traditional 15-mile distance begins at the Clock Tower in Hay-on-Wye and includes a few hard climbs before finishing in Kington. This year the hard event has added a challenging 10 km around Kington.

Eighteen-year-old Robert was born with an excellent musical gift. There was something in his voice that charmed everyone. His family was not well-off and his parents had no money to send him to music classes. But on his own, Robert learned to play the guitar. His voice was so soft and beautiful that he dreamed of becoming a singer in the future.

One day when he was walking home through the college corridor, he glanced at the notice board and knew there would be a music competition at the college. He was excited and decided to take part. "How do I find a peaceful place to compose a song?" While he was struggling with this problem, he saw an ad for an apartment to rent. He dialed the number on the ad and the old landlord told him that his flat was available at 600 dollars a month. The rent was too high. Robert asked whether he could pay half, and then pay the rest without a deposit (押金). To his surprise, the old man agreed.

Robert moved to the flat with his guitar and played songs every day. Many days passed, yet he didn't write even a single line of his new song. With only one week left, he was totally depressed. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. It was his landlord.

Robert was puzzled by the gentleman's visit when he spoke. "I live upstairs. Actually, I'm hearing music from you many days." "Yeah, I'm preparing for a competition," said Robert. "Well, the melody (旋律) was too monotonous (单调的). But if you don't mind, can I help you?" Robert was surprised that the old man was so frank with him. He nodded in agreement. The old man took the guitar and played a beautiful piece. Robert stared at him in shock. He had never heard such a beautiful song ever before. To Robert's amazement, it turned out that the old man was a retired music professor.

Shenzhou-19 crew members aboard China's orbiting space station completed the first extravehicular activities (EVAs) of their mission at 9:57 p.m. (Beijing Time) Tuesday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, worked for nine hours on (complete) multiple tasks, including the installation of space-debris protection devices. They (assist) by the space station's robotic arm and a team on Earth. Cai and Song, the two crew members assigned the EVA duty, have since returned (safe) to the Wentian lab module. The mission of the first extravehicular activities of the Shenzhou-19 crew was complete success, setting a new record for the duration of extravehicular (task) by Chinese astronauts, said the CMSA. It marked Cai's second EVAs in space, following (he) initial EVAs during the Shenzhou-14 mission two years ago. Song, is a role model for the younger generation, became the first Chinese astronaut born after 1990 to carry out EVAs, said the agency. The Shenzhou-19 crew is set to carry out a lot of (schedule) space-science experiments and technical tests, while they will also undertake extravehicular activities and install (science) equipment outside the space station, the agency added.

Once I was old enough to have the4 of the kitchen, I became obsessed with trying to5 how to make my own cookies, with absolutely no success. Years later, I revisited the6 at work when I was tasked with creating a perfect chocolate chip cookie7 for a magazine feature. A few co-workers kindly recommended their favourite to me but,8, none hit the spot, so I started from scratch, analysed the situation and learned a lot in the process.

All in all, I've9 that I've baked upwards of 700 chocolate chip cookies — partly seeking10, but also for many, many bake sales. The hunt for a foolproof (万无一失的) recipe has meant I've tested countless11 and analysed what it takes to make a very sought-after thing — a unique chocolate chip cookie.

In all that time, I've made12: overcooked them, undercooked them, tried cookies that were13 cakey; ones that burned around the edge but were still raw in the centre. In the words of Thomas Edison: I did not14 — I simply found multiple ways that didn't work, and it ultimately led to me learning many tricks to get the kind of cookie I15.

◎Find a responsible partner

Having a responsible partner can be an effective type of motivation to help you stay on track. Telling others about your plans or goals might help you feel more encouraged to actually achieve them.

◎Shake up your environment

. Creating a welcoming environment that feels good to be in and contributes to staying focused on your goals is important. Small details like plenty of sunlight or adding a plant to your desk can all help.

◎

Sometimes, it can be easy to lose motivation if you feel like you're not making enough progress toward a big goal. If you start to feel this way, reflect on your progress. You might be surprised to look back and realize just how far you've come.

When measuring progress, focus on measuring behaviors over results. For example, if you want to become a better writer and publish a story, measure your research, drafts, and discussions on the topic.. Even though you don't have complete control over the outcome, you have full control over your behaviors.

◎Schedule breaks in your day

Breaks allow your brain to rest and digest all the information you've just taken in.. For example, surfing the Internet still requires your brain to process information and make decisions. Doing a small chore, going for a walk, or taking a power coffee nap are all great alternatives.

A. Track your progress

B. Stay optimistic and trust yourself

C. In fact, even a short break helps avoid burnout

D. Our working environments are full of distractions

E. Managing to write a little bit every day is even better

F. The following tips can serve as guides on how to get motivated

G. However, not all types of breaks provide the same amount of restfulness

The story begins in late 2014, when a violent oceanic heat wave "Blob" parked itself over the Pacific northeast, raising ocean temperatures far above normal for almost two years. It cooked up an ecological chain reaction, reducing phytoplankton (浮游植物) populations and in turn the forage fish that seabirds like common murres eat. In 2015 and 2016, the birds collectively starved to death.

"We knew right away that it was a big disaster," says Renner, a wildlife biologist with U. S. Fish and Wildlife at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge in Homer. "There were 62,000 carcasses that washed up on the beaches, all over the Gulf of Alaska, all the way down to California. It was clearly a big deal, but we couldn't really quantify the size of the death very well."

The scale and speed of the seabird population collapse is shocking, says Simon Tye, an ecologist at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville who wasn't involved with the research. "It was pretty heartbreaking."

Tye and Renner both point out that with continued climate warming, heat waves like the "Blob" are expected to occur more frequently. This could endanger already vulnerable populations of many animals that have yet to recover in an ocean ecosystem affected by the previous heat wave.

While there's little immediate human control over oceanic heat waves, Renner says the findings underscore the importance of other conservation efforts for seabirds. This may include removing invasive predators or other species that - alongside climatic swings - create an additive stress on seabird populations.

"The top of the food web going away, I think that's really important," Tye says. "It should be an ominous (不祥的) thing for everybody."

To understand how these ancient marks could help save lives, the research team turned to New Zealand's Alpine Fault. The researchers focused their investigation on a fascinating section of the Alpine Fault known as an "earthquake gate". This region can either stop earthquakes in their tracks or allow them to continue their journey, a decision that has enormous consequences. When earthquakes push through this gate, they transform from magnitude 7.5 events into far more powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquakes, dramatically increasing their potential for destruction.

The implications of this research reach far beyond New Zealand's shores. "The scratches indicate the direction and origin of a past earthquake, potentially giving us clues about where a future quake might start and where it will go. This is key for California, where anticipating the direction of a quake on faults like San Andreas or San Jacinto could mean a more accurate forecast of its impact," Barth, UC Riverside geologist and lead author, notes.

Understanding the direction of earthquake movement isn't just academic curiosity, it could provide crucial extra minutes of warning time for vulnerable populations. Consider Los Angeles: if a major earthquake begins near the Salton Sea and moves northward along the San Andreas fault, it would direct intense energy toward the city. However, this scenario could also give residents about a minute's warning through cellular alert systems — precious time that could allow people to take cover, stop medical procedures, or shut down critical systems.

By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding. The theatre, though shaded, had no air conditioning.

A show was about to begin as we sat down. Despite the small audience of about 20 people looking for a cool place to sit, the teenage performers delivered an energetic and lively performance with rock and roll music.

In the end, the audience gave only polite, half-hearted applause. However, Shelia stood up and cheered loudly as if she had seen the most amazing Broadway production in her life. She explained to me, "These are someone else's kids. Since their moms aren't here, we need to support them." I was deeply moved by Shelia's words. I had never thought about it that way before. I joined Shelia in cheering for these hard-working young performers.

This happened over six years ago, but Shelia's words have stayed with me. Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone's children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children.

Thanks, Shelia, for applying the golden rule — "Treat others' children as you would want them to treat yours!" This experience taught me the importance of supporting and encouraging young people, even when they're not our own, and how a small act of kindness can make a difference.
