Created on April 23rd, 1995, by the United Nations, the day is all about celebrating the wonderful power of books and the joy of reading. However, people of all ages can celebrate it in their own ways.

Do you have a book you just can't get around to finish? Why not curl up on the couch and enjoy every last page? If you have children, pick a topic they're interested in and explore the magical world of literature together. It is the perfect day to teach them the joy of reading.

Yet it is also a good choice to get together with some friends and share the same book you all love. Hearing someone read aloud sentences you have only ever murmured to yourself could cause you to see them in a whole new way.

Whichever way you choose to celebrate World Book Day, it's an educational experience. They are a door into another world, full of fiction and imagination or facts that teach you incredible new things.

A. It shows the importance of reading.

B. A common celebration is doing some reading.

C. That's why World Book Day is a well-deserved holiday.

D. Doing some reading helps you understand the world better.

E. It's especially meant to encourage a love of reading in children.

F. Additionally, varied understanding of a book allows heated discussions.

G. You will find books are more than simple pieces of paper with words on them.

Feeling stressed one evening, I decided to find a game to relax with. That's when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was obsessed. My brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world, imagining how they could be moved and fit together like the game's blocks. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing what's known as the "Tetris effect".

Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his article called "This Is Your Brain on Tetris", the effect has been observed by psychologists and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the "Zeigarnik effect", in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game's unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the catchy music stays with you, too.

Interestingly, the Tetris effect has some positive aspects. In 1991, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain efficiency, reported psychology website Practical Pie. Haier's discovery got Tetris put into the Guinness World Records Video Gamer's Edition 2008, as the "first video game to be proven to improve brain functioning and efficiency".

Tetris has also been researched for its potential as a treatment for trauma. In a study at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, researchers found that playing Tetris helped reduce unwanted memories in people who had been in car accidents.

So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function? But be warned, you'll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.

Wildfires are made possible by hot, dry weather conditions as well as a supply of dead plants that serve as fuel. We may have limited control over the former factor, but we can control the latter. Reducing the fuel load lowers the possibility of wildfires occurring, as well as the amount of damage caused. This is where we can turn to goats to search for a solution, which are being used for landscape management in a number of places around the world, including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Chile and a number of parts of the United States.

Goats have an extremely powerful digestive (消化的) system. Many kinds of plants that are dangerous to other animals can be easily eaten by goats. It's not just fully-grown plants that goats are able to deal with: any seeds that pass through a goat can't survive and will not grow. Human clearance teams have to worry about getting to the hard-to-reach places where plants grow but goats don't. They are skilled mountain climbers and when standing on their hind legs, they can reach up to two metres to the plants that humans would struggle to reach. Because of this, using goats can reduce both the possibility of workplace accidents and the amount of money spent on fire protection measures. Goatherds have been found to clear some parts of land for a third of the price of human control teams.

Cost and safety aren't the only benefits. Goats are quieter than grass-cutting machines and people usually prefer to see goats eating grass rather than litres of herbicide (除草剂). Children are often attracted to see the goats at work and this provides an opportunity to educate people about preventing wildfires.

One cold winter's day, three boys were wandering the street. The oldest was Henry, who always was in trouble himself, and tried to get others into trouble. Another boy, James, was also a naughty one. Both of the two often got scoldings from their fathers for making trouble. The youngest, whose name was George, was a very good boy. He wished to do right, but was very much wanting in courage.

As they were passing by a schoolhouse, Henry suddenly came up with an idea. "How fun it would be to throw a snowball at the schoolroom door and make the teacher and the students all jump!" he said excitedly.

"Ha! You would jump, if you should do that. If the teacher did not catch you and punish you, he would tell your father, and you would get a scolding then. 'That would make you jump higher than the students, I think. "James replied.

"Why, we would get off already before the teacher could come to the door so that he could not tell who we are." Henry said as his eyes fell on George, who was looking at them in silence. Henry smiled cunningly(狡猾的) and continued, " Here is a snowball just as hard as ice, and George would throw it at the door as fast as he could."

"Give it to him and see. I guess he would not dare to throw it." James said. "James, do you think George is a coward(胆小鬼)? You do not know him as well as I do!" Henry said with eyebrows uplifted, staring at George provocatively(挑衅地). Then he held the snowball and lifted it up. "George, take the snowball, and show James that you are not such a coward as he thinks you are." After saying this, he passed the snowball to George.

Para 1:

Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated.

With a black-and-white cloth snake in hand, 7-year-old Chen Kaiming had already become a social media star at the 2025 China Central Television Spring Festival Gala, the highly anticipated annual event airs on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

The Yingge dance, often (refer) to as the "Chinese battle dance," is folk art form that originated in Guangdong Province in south China, (combine) elements of opera, dance and martial arts. Yingge dance performances are said (inspire) by the story of The Water Margin, one of China's Four Great Classical Novels. In 2006, Puning Yingge dance was recognized as part of China's national intangible cultural heritage.

Over the past two years, Yingge dance (gain) popularity on social media, with videos of (energy) performances attracting millions of views. During major festivals, the sound of Yingge drums fills cities and villages, contributing a lively atmosphere.

Today, Yingge has woven (it) into the fabric of life for the people of the Chaoshan region, with many towns and streets boasting their own Yingge team. Local communities and cultural institutions are working together to train new generations of dancers. "Whenever the Yingge drums sounded on Chinese New Year's Day, my son would joyfully follow the team, shouting with excitement," Chen Kaiming's father told newspaper Guangming Daily. "Yingge dance relies on (wide) participation from younger generations," said Lin Lunlun, former President of Hanshan Normal University in Guangdong.

Practice mindfulness

HFA often comes from a stream of "what if" thoughts: what if I can't get through this presentation? What if I don't pass this test? What if they don't like me? What if I've made a huge mistake? These looping questions can feel overwhelming. Practice regular mindfulness exercises to break this cycle.

Most of us know we should set them, yet putting them into practice can be easier said than done. People with HFA often struggle to say "No", leading to overcommitment and stress. Take time to understand your needs. Learning to prioritize tasks and setting clear limits can prevent burnout and help maintain a healthier balance.

Challenge perfectionism

But this is based on your own high standards, the goalposts are always moving. Remind yourself that mistakes are part of growth, that every small step counts, and that your worth is not dependent on a flawless performance. Instead of striving for perfection, aim for progress.

Schedule relaxation time

For someone with HFA, relaxation might feel like a waste of time when you could be striving toward productivity and perfection. But treat relaxation as essential, just as you would schedule work or personal commitments. Engaging in enjoyable activities can help shift your focus away from stressors, foster a sense of calm, and boost overall well-being.

A. Set realistic boundaries.

B. Practice agreed boundaries.

C. Set aside time for genuine relaxation and hobbies.

D. Boundaries are about saying "yes" to yourself and your needs.

E. With strategies and support, it's possible to manage these challenges.

F. Techniques such as deep breathing can help shift your focus to the present moment.

G. We often believe that if we do everything flawlessly, we'll finally feel secure, or achieve our goals.

The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its "fingertip", and reads by using a combination of the information from the camera and the sensors. "This is a hard problem for roboticists as there's a lot of image processing that needs to be done to remove motion blur (模糊) which is time-and energy-consuming," said Parth Potdar from Cambridge's Department of Engineering.

"There are existing robotic Braille readers, but they only read one letter at a time, which is not how humans read," said Potdar. "Existing robotic Braille readers work in a relatively static way: they touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up from the surface, move over, lower onto the next letter pattern, and so on. We want something that's more realistic and far more efficient."

The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to "deblur" the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters. They trained the algorithms on a set of sharp images of Braille with fake blur applied. After the algorithms had learned to deblur the letters, they used a computer vision model to detect and classify each character.

Once the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87%accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader.

"Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface textures or slippage in robotic manipulation," said Potdar.

In the future, the researchers are hoping to scale the technology to the size of a humanoid hand.
