Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he'd go to a nearby court for dunk practice.

The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China's dunk team told him, "With your bounce and explosiveness, you don't belong behind a bank counter." Cha's encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker.

To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. Erom the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced.

Now Chen has founded a dunk park which has quickly attracted many visitors who are eager to learn from him or simply witness his high-flying skills firsthand. "I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage," Chen said.

Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:

A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat.

These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don't only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future.

Kiko and his friends lived in a small fishing village on the coast of Puerto Rico.

One evening, on their walk back home, Kiko's friend Joseph told a story of Captain Peg Leg. According to Joseph, Peg Leg was the bravest pirate in the Caribbean. However, one time, a fierce hurricane swept over the island, and Peg Leg was caught in it on his way home. His ship was destroyed in the huge waves and he was never seen again.

"That's crazy," Pedro, another kid, said. "I've never heard of any pirates here." Kiko and his friends had been completely caught up in Joseph's story, but Pedro's doubt shook them from their dream.

The next morning, heavy rain poured down on the village, and the strong wind blared inside Kiko's house. Kiko remembered Joseph's story and imagined how Peg Leg and his men must have felt in a storm even stronger than the one over the island at that moment.

After the storm, Kiko worked as a volunteer with his friends, helping families repair their homes, boats, and fishing nets. As they approached the beach, several strange objects lying on the white sands caught their attention. Some of them were shining brightly.

"Look what I found!" Kiko shouted. "It's a gold coin!" His friends couldn't believe it. Everyone gathered around him to get a closer look. "I bet this is Peg Leg's treasure. I knew that he was real," Joseph said.

The friends put everything they found in one spot. Gathering around the small pile of objects, someone suggested that they sell them to a private collector. With the money, they would be able to buy new fishing boats for their parents.

"We can take these items to the museum," Kiko suddenly had an idea. He then explained that it was important to take everything they had found to the museum. If they didn't, no one would know if Peg Leg actually existed or he was just a character in tales.

Kiko's friends were not so sure. The idea of keeping the treasure was hard to resist.

China Media Group unveiled the theme for the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, the country's most-watched televised event, tapping into spirit of the upcoming Year of the Horse with the phrase: "Galloping Steeds, Unstoppable."

The theme, in Chinese "Qiji Chicheng, Shibukedang", draws the image of the "qiji" — a legendary thousand-li horse from classical poetry symbolizes perseverance and achievement. "The horse in the Chinese zodiac (生肖) represents vitality and forward momentum (势头)," a CMG spokesperson explained. "This theme reflects our collective drive as we enter a new development period."

The official logo brings the theme to life, (show) four powerful horses surging upward together. The design mixes ancient Chinese patterns with a modern style. Designers say the "galloping pattern" can extend infinitely, creating a sense of boundless energy and (unite).

For the 2026 show, producers promise a blend of traditional (performance) and cutting-edge technology. The gala will feature popular singers, dancers, comedians, and — in a nod to its roots — everyday people sharing their stories. Advanced stage technology (use) to create an immersive experience for both the studio audience and viewers at home.

Since its first major television broadcast in 1983, the Spring Festival Gala (become) a cultural icon, uniting families on Lunar New Year's Eve showcasing Chinese culture to a global audience. The 2026 edition, championing a spirit of (stoppable) progress, aims to welcome the Year of the Horse with energy and hope.

"As I was about to6 the coffee shop, a kid came to me," Busbice said. The boy had his fist clenched, so Busbice prepared for a7. But instead, the boy8 his fist to reveal a $ 1 bill.

"What?" Busbice said.

Understanding this internal conflict is the first step. The next is to employ practical strategies to support our prefrontal cortex. Instead of a vague plan, schedule a specific 25-minute block for a single task and commit to focusing solely on it during that time. This "time blocking" method makes an abstract intention concrete and manageable.

Another effective approach is to drastically lower the barrier to entry. The hardest part is often just starting. For example, if you need to write an essay, commit to writing just one sentence. Often, this minimal step is enough to break the inertia and build positive momentum.

View the task not as one huge burden, but as a series of small, achievable steps. Celebrate completing each step. This focuses your attention on progress rather than the daunting whole, making the process feel more rewarding and less overwhelming.

By understanding the psychology behind procrastination and consistently applying these tactics, you can reclaim your time and reduce stress.

A. So, always break large projects down the night before.

B. One key technique is to make time visible and intentional.

C. Remember, the goal is progress, not immediate perfection.

D. For instance, our willpower is like a muscle that gets tired.

E. The trick is to reduce the perceived effort required to begin.

F. Finally, work on reshaping your perspective toward the task itself.

G. It lies in our brain's battle between short-term comfort and long-term goals.

GEAIR has been built with a combination of two technologies: AI and biotechnology. Xu Cao, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led the research team that built the robot.

Cross-pollination, also known as hybrid pollination, is the process of transferring pollen (花粉) from a flower of one plant to another. This process helps in creating hybrid flowers of plants, also known as hybrid breeding.

The aim of hybrid breeding is to develop crop varieties with improved traits, thereby achieving enhanced yield and quality. However, according to Xu, doing this process repeatedly is time - consuming. GEAIR can help reduce the time and also avoid human errors.

Living up to its promised potential, the robot carried out a trial in a greenhouse. It identified a flower accurately and extended its arm gently to complete the hybrid pollination process. The entire breeding process was done with inch-perfect precision. The researchers also built the first "intelligent robotic breeding factory", which can quickly and efficiently develop new, high-quality plant varieties.

GEAIR will start a new era backed by AI and biotechnology in the breeding industry. "Our new study has initiated an intelligent breeding model of integrated biotechnology, AI and robot labor — marking China's successful pioneering efforts in the construction of a closed-loop (闭环的) technology system for intelligent robotized hybrid breeding," Xu said. "It also shows the application prospects of ‘AI for science' in the sector of biological breeding."

With biotechnology as its foundation, AI as empowerment, and robots as operators, this study could help China take the lead in the race to create breeding robots that are fully autonomous and intelligent.

Sarah Yapp adopted her block in south Eugene. With cars rushing by, she explained why. "When I was growing up, my dad actually made me pick up trash on the street. That was the era of McDonald's Styrofoam (泡沫塑料) containers, when people just threw them out of their windows. So, I used to hate that," she said. "And then I grew up, and I realized I don't like trash on the street as an adult either." "Oh, I got something!" Yapp used her grabber to pick up a paper cup from a bush and dropped it in a bag.

Olivia Langley is Director of Operations for Adopt One Block. "We send you free clean - up supplies," she said. "That's everything from a bucket, a trash grabber, trash bags, to gloves." Block Ambassadors set their own schedules for trash grabbing and can access additional resources from the organization to deal with different "trash encounters". Langley said that when necessary, medical sharps containers are also provided.

However, Langley insisted that volunteers should only do the amount of clean-up they are comfortable with. Things like broken glass, thrown - away needles and perilous materials can be handled by municipal agencies, she said.

Sarah Yapp shared the idea with her friend Rachel Sanders and now they both pick up trash on their own blocks and beyond. The friends said the garbage can sometimes be messy, but they both find fulfillment in cleaning it up. "Here we are picking up trash and there are people cheering us on and joining in. Some even adopt their own neighborhoods!" Yapp said. "The other day, a middle school student saw me on my block and asked, ‘Are you picking up trash? Thank you!'"

A year later, when she complained of pain in her right knee, I scheduled an appointment with a doctor. After X-rays were done, Dr. Morris pointed to a spot on the screen and said he was 99 percent sure it was the bone cancer. "We'll start chemotherapy (化疗) next week," the doctor said after Natalia's biopsy. "And then remove the tumor and reconstruct her leg three months from now."

Less than a month into Natalia's treatment, her hair started falling out. It wasn't long before the last lock of hair fell out. To match her look, I shaved off my own hair, too. Natalia named the leg with the tumor Will, telling everyone, "I will walk again!" She named the other leg Grace, for my favorite TV show, Will & Grace. With each round of chemo, Natalia would say, "Let's get this party started!"

Five months later, we were told the incredible news that Natalia's scans were clear. The cancer wasn't spreading.

After recovery, Natalia remained as obsessed with modeling as ever. Natalia made her official debut on the runway at a New York bridal show when she was 18. I watched as she glided down the catwalk in a sparkling long white dress. Not only was she breathtaking, but she radiated pure joy and comfort in her own skin.

Suddenly I realized that this beautiful dream was what had sustained her through all the grueling trials of her illness and recovery. I clapped my heart out for my daughter, bursting with pride that she had fought tooth and nail to reach her goal.

Basque

The Basque language is the only remaining old European language. It's spoken today in Basque Country, by some 750,000 native speakers. Basque Country covers the border of Spain and France, centered around the Bay of Biscay. As a language, Basque shows no connections to its neighboring languages.

Tamil

Tamil is spoken by the Tamil people, native to the southernmost part of the Indian subcontinent. Tamil has around 75 million native speakers worldwide. Its earliest written form dates back to 300 BC, making it over 2,000 years old.

Arabic

Even though Arabic includes many sub-groups and variants, it is unified in a standardized form of Classical Arabic. It is a great example of how a language of a powerful conquering nation can establish itself over a wide area and survive for centuries in its original form. With its spread, it influenced many modern languages all across the world, leaving loanwords everywhere it went.

Aramaic

Part of the Northwest Semitic group of the Afro-Asiatic languages, Aramaic has about 3,100 years of written history, placing it at the top of our list. Royal Inscriptions in Aramaic date back to the 10th century BC, making it one of the oldest languages still in use.

The longest heat wave on record sweeping through the town, Sebby could barely contain his excitement to cool off at the beach with Dad. Before heading out, they stopped at the nearby library to return a few books, and Sebby noticed a crew working on the roof.

"What are they doing?" he asked. Dad watched for a moment before answering. "Fixing the roof." Pulling out of the parking space, he shook his head, adding that he had worked on a roofing crew for a few years. He thought it the hardest job he had ever had — no shade, just the sun burning his neck, and a sip of cold water felt like a treasure. It was then that an idea popped into Sebby's head: to bring them some water. But the thought slipped away as quickly as the scenery flashing past his window, his attention turning to swimming.

The waves were perfect for bodyboarding, and a sea breeze cooled the air. But all too soon they were headed home, back to the heat. Sebby was half listening to the radio when the DJ gave the weather report. "The record-breaking heat will continue throughout the afternoon." Glancing at the library as they passed, he saw the roofers still at work. "Do you think they have enough water?" he asked. "I'm sure they brought plenty," Dad said, though his tone lacked confidence.

Back home, Sebby couldn't shake the thought of the roofers. He shared the idea with his brother, Marcos, who had just returned from the movies. His brother shrugged. "You don't even know those guys. They've probably gone home already anyway."

Thinking Marcos may be right, Sebby walked to the driveway for a clearer view: the roofers were still there. "I don't see any coolers or bottles anywhere," he told Dad. "I really think they need some water." A look of concern came over Dad's face. He stood and picked up his car keys. "I think you're right. It's only going to get hotter."

Jiuzhaigou Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a place of breathtaking beauty that seems to belong to another world. Located in the mountains of Sichuan Province, this valley, with its world-famous reputation, (witness) millions of visitors each year to a journey of a fairyland on earth.

The valley is named after the nine Tibetan villages (dot) throughout its area with its most iconic features — the multicolored lakes, crystal-clear water reflects the surrounding forests and sky in astonishing colors of emerald (翡翠).

Walking along the wooden plank (板条) paths, people feel as if they are stepping into living painting, where the air is fresh, and the silence is broken only by the sound of water (flow) or birds singing in the ancient trees. It is this    (harmony) combination of elements that makes Jiuzhaigou so unique.

However, a major earthquake causing significant damages happened in 2017, leading to a series of geological changes and the temporary (close) of the park. Since then, greater efforts (make) to restore its natural beauty and stricter tourist management policies have been carried out, like limiting the number of daily visitors to minimize human impact effectively.

Today, Jiuzhaigou stands a powerful model of nature's resilience and conservation, reminding us that we are not the owners of such wonders, their guardians. Preserving its splendor for future generations is a responsibility we all share.

I agreed with a reluctant sigh, perceiving it as totally   2.But as I watched father's hands work, something shifted. As he explained the   3 of each gear (齿轮) and the clock's history, his eyes   4 with a passion I had never noticed before.

We worked together for weeks. Slowly, the clock   5 its former elegance and charm, while I learned to wipe the delicate hands and gently   6 the glass. My impatience   7 fascination: I wasn't just cleaning; I was   8 a piece of family history.

The day we hung the clock was a day of pride. Its steady tick felt like a heartbeat. That experience taught me a   9 lesson. It wasn't about the clock, but the time spent with my father. I came to   10 the value of his wisdom and skills I had once   11.

Now every time I visit home, I check the clock and   12 it. It works not only as a beautiful artifact (手工艺品) but also as a   13 of the day I truly saw my father. His workshop was a shelter where patience and love could   14 anything broken. He would say, "Some things, like this clock and our bond, just need a little   15 to run forever."

With huge amounts of information at our fingertips in the social media-fueled Internet age, we are in theory better equipped to travel more and better. But for this Malta trip, we decided to do something different. We'd build the trip by talking to random locals. No guidebook allowed. No smartphone either — unless we were completely lost.

Approaching locals for travel tips can be awkward. So I came up with a trick: a deck of cards with common holiday questions. Locals would draw a card and give a tip based on it. We'd follow the tip, then ask them to recommend another local to help us.

How did it go? Philip, wonderful and friendly, introduced us to almost the whole island. When asked about his "favourite lunch spot", he drew the card and recommended Claire, who runs Mojo restaurant in Victoria. For the "favourite cafe" card, Claire suggested Gleneagles in Mgarr Harbour. It's run by approachable Tony-a goldmine for tips and stories.

Tony, a silver-haired man with a rough voice, was one such local. He told stories of his coffee shop's 40 years, full of emotions and old regulars. His words made those times almost tangible, making him a living connection to Gozo's past.

My message is simple. If you visit Malta, leave your guidebook and phone in your room. Go to a cafe, order a local drink, chat randomly with a local. It grows meaningful and exciting when we connect with locals. We learn their stories, and maybe gain a new perspective.

A. Our experiment started in Gozo with a local restaurant owner.

B. Malta has been known for its coastal scenery and ancient ruins.

C. At its core, travel revolves around genuine human connections.

D. There's no time machine, but some locals connect you to the past.

E. As a natural icebreaker, these cards served to reduce the awkwardness.

F. We visited many famous attractions recommended by travelers in Gozo.

G. Instead of overplanning with blogs, Instagram or guidebooks, we chose chance.

The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs' activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably. Since chemotherapy (化疗) targets rapidly dividing cells, Levi reasoned that giving drugs when healthy cells are "asleep" could boost effectiveness and reduce side effects.

Medical tests proved promising. Those who received chemotherapy at 6 am instead of 6 pm experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 am generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.

Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone's internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples. Now, new tests using blood or even hair offer quicker results. For example, Germany's BodlyClock test analyzes clock gene activity in hair follicles (毛囊) to reveal internal time, helping tailor treatments.

These advances in determining our biological time not only support precision medicine but also the use of daily rhythms to enhance overall health. For instance, exposure to morning light helps advance the body clock, while minimizing evening blue light promotes sound sleep. Scheduling demanding mental tasks or intense exercise during personal peak cognitive and physical periods (typically afternoon to early evening) can boost performance.

By making use of our circadian rhythm - through timed treatments and rhythm - aware living - we can unlock longer, healthier lives.

Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete "jungle" is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet.

Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a "community scientist".

For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there's a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don't need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness.

While initially desiring to become a physical therapist (治疗师), he found himself particularly drawn to education through his mother and stepfather, both seasoned educators on Long Island. After completing his specialized training at SUNY Cortland, he enthusiastically joined this school in 2021, valuing the opportunity to work with young students. Rather than conducting standardized drills, he uses multi-sensory strategies: pairing verbal instructions for pushups with visual step cards, and using soft foam (泡沫) balls to help those with motor skill challenges feel successful. For students uninterested in movement, he leans into their strengths — like creating a "rhythm jump-rope" activity for a music-loving student who dislikes team sports.

Nathaniel Marner, the school principal, described Dennehy as a "forward-thinking educator who constantly invents creative ways to engage students." This impact is perhaps best illustrated by the genuine feedback from his students. Fourth-grader Lopez also showed her ultimate approval, "He's cool." She further explained more about his appealing personality and the diverse activities he has introduced, from basic exercises to various sports.

Beyond the school's walls, Dennehy extends his educational impact through coaching the junior volleyball team and instructing student participation in regional fitness programs. Yet his most rewarding professional moment remains fundamentally simple: surveying his gymnasium to witness his students actively engaged, each face reflecting the genuine joy of movement — a proof to his success in making physical education an accessible source of confidence and well-being.

Like parks around the world, those in our region are feeling the impacts of climate change. As a registered nonprofit based in San Francisco, the Parks Conservancy is working in collaboration with the Presidio Trust and the National Park Service to help these parks — and the communities that depend on them — build resilience (韧性) against the backdrop of rapid environmental shifts. We also aim to increase understanding of climate-related threats to our parks, our local communities, and the planet, while driving meaningful action to address them.

This work looks a lot of ways, and often connects across multiple programs, projects, and park boundaries. It's all done in partnership with agencies, community partners, and community members, and reflects the need to address climate change at different scales.

Here are some programs of our climate work. Explore more of its depth and breadth by clicking the blocks below!
