According to a report on the traditional culture trend in 2021,(release) on Feb. 3 by Bilibili, an online video–sharing platform popular among younger people, more than 177 million of the platform's users were in favor of(video) featuring traditional culture.

That approval reflected the way the "China Chic" (中国风) phenomenon has been(warm) embraced by the younger generation in recent years.

China Chic, or guochao, features fancy designs mixedelements from traditional culture. It became widely known in 2018 after the sportswear brand Li–Ning took the fashion world by storm with its oriental–style designs at New York Fashion Week. That led toincreasing number of Chinese brands joining the trend and creating a wave of China Chic.

China Chic has changed from a consumption trend to a cultural phenomenon. The 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing can be seen as a good example ofyoung people have embraced China Chic. Young athletes(wear) sports clothing bearing Chinese elements, such as dragons and pandas.

China Chic expresses traditional culture with the language of pop culture, bringing it(close) to young people and making it more acceptable to them. Eager to show their personalities to the world, young people find national identity a good way to distinguish(they) from others, and culture is the perfect medium(explain) why young people are passionate about traditional culture.

It was a2 summer camp ping pong tournament where I was not only down I set, but 7 points behind my opponent (对手), who had only 3 points left to3 the set, and the tournament. For a comeback, I had to win at least 10 points, without making4 !

Facing the desperate situation, I could5 it a day and let my opponent win. Perhaps my opponent had already focused on the6, but failure wasn't an option! Thus, I7 it out, hoping for the best. I told myself, "Let's just try and win the next point, nothing else."8 deep, I stared at the ball with a clear mindset and keen9. I took it, hit it back and scored!

Despite a small game, it inspired me a lot. Not being able to control how our opponent plays, we can15 how to react. Don't be there, where you are not. Instead, be here and now! Stay in flow! Be concentrated!

Be adaptable and understanding. Keep an open mind and don't demand everything you're used to in your own city. This will put less pressure on your destination and its people.

Save water while on vacation by choosing short showers instead of baths and turning off the water while brushing teeth or shaving. Always research weather and trail conditions before hiking or taking a road trip to avoid getting lost or injured and having to get rescued, which can consume important public resources.

Respect natural places. Remember that marked hiking trails are there for a reason, usually to help preserve the surrounding environment. Keep your distance from wildlife and never feed or touch wild animals, for your own safety and for the safety of the animals themselves.

Find ways to give back. This can be as simple as picking up a piece of trash in the park or volunteering for a beach clean-up. Or take a trip where volunteering is the primary objective.

A. Support locals directly.

B. Be mindful of local resources.

C. Don't leave your sustainable habits at home.

D. So take out what you brought in and don't litter.

E. Here are some tips on being a sustainable traveler.

F. Consider the ways you can contribute to the local community.

G. However, if not managed properly, tourism can have incredibly negative impacts.

U. S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released a warning in August 2024 calling for a rapid recovery of parental well-being. Murthy along with scientists and parents sees that the current stress of parenting is seriously affecting the physical and mental health of caregivers. He states his concern over reports that most days, nearly half of all parents feel seriously stressed.

Data from a 2022 Household Pulse Survey found that the majority of parents — including 35% with children under 5 and 54% with children between 5 and 11 — have no formal child care support. This is undoubtedly driven, at least in part, by the rising costs and increasing lack of day care choices.

The research shows that focusing only on getting through the day with your kids is linked to more stress and harsher parenting behaviors. When a mom or dad is in survival mode, they tend to be more likely to shout demands and criticize their children's behavior, as opposed (相反的) to thinking through the impacts of these behaviors. Stressed-out parents are quicker to criticize little things that get in the way of achieving immediate goals, such as spilling flour on the floor. And they are slower to notice and acknowledge their child's strengths, such as their interest in helping in the kitchen.

However, bringing joy back to parenting this holiday season — and any time of the year — is more straightforward than most recipes on Pinterest, a social platform. The secret is taking the pressure off surviving the moment and refocusing on the future you want to create.

She was born on April 3,1934, in London, England. From childhood, Jane Goodall was fascinated by animals and spent hours observing them in their natural habitats. Whatever difficulties she encounters, Jane Goodall never gives up. After graduating from high school, Goodall worked as a secretary to save money for her trip to Africa she had always dreamed of visiting.

In 1960, Goodall's life took a significant turn when receiving an invitation from renowned archaeologist Louis Leakey to study chimpanzees in Tanzania. With little formal scientific training, she began a journey that would revolutionize our understanding of these magnificent creatures. Living in the remote Gombe Stream National Park, Goodall spent decades observing and documenting the behavior of chimpanzees. She discovered chimpanzees use tools, have complex social structures, and exhibit emotions similar to humans. Her groundbreaking research challenged long-held beliefs about the uniqueness of human beings and opened up new ways of study in the field of primatology (灵长类动物学)。

Goodall's contributions extend far beyond her scientific research. She is a passionate advocate for conservation and animal welfare. She has established numerous conservation projects worldwide, focusing on protecting chimpanzees and their habitats. She also works to promote environmental education and sustainable development, inspiring the next generation to protect our planet.

At present, Goodall continues to travel internationally, working as the UN Messenger of Peace and inspiring people to protect ecology. Awarded numerous honors for her lifelong commitment, she remains a towering figure in both science and activism.

In short, Jane Goodall's life is a shining example of what can be achieved through deep love for animals and nature and firm determination faced with huge challenges and difficulties. She is truly an admirable figure, and her story will continue to inspire generations to come.

It was the day after Christmas in 2018. My children had gone back to their homes, and my husband had passed away a few years earlier so I was alone. I was in the kitchen making my breakfast when I suddenly dropped to the floor. I couldn't move. I lay on the floor for seven hours before someone found me.

When the paramedics finally arrived, I realized I couldn't stand on my own and I couldn't walk. I began an uncharted journey to gain the necessary strength to walk again.

When I arrived at the assisted-living facility I would now call "home," I was extremely weak and anemic. And I couldn't walk. I started with three nourishing meals a day in a dining room filled with strangers whom I would soon call "family." I rested between meals until, several months later, I had enough strength to start learning to walk again. But now I needed to find a physical therapist who could help me. I didn't know where to begin.

One evening in the dining room someone suggested that I call the physical therapist Phil, who had helped her eighty-eight-year-old father get back on his feet. "He's amazing," she said. "It took three people initially to get my dad out of bed, and now he uses only a walker to get around." I couldn't say "yes" fast enough.

Phil called back that night. "Let's give it a try," he said. "Let's see what we can do."

Every day, I lay in bed while Phil pushed, pulled, and strengthened my legs so that I could stand once again. And with every push, pull, and stretch, a voice inside me shouted, "Lola, you can do it! Don't you dare give up!" I had climbed many mountains in my seventy-eight years of life, and I knew that this would be one of the most difficult comebacks to a somewhat normal life.

During the summer vacation, I was cleaning the garage when I discovered a mysterious old wooden box covered in dust. It looked very1, and I couldn't remember ever seeing it before. My2 was immediately awakened. What could be inside?

The box was locked, and no key was in sight. I shook it gently, and something inside made a3 sound. I spent the next hour searching for the key everywhere until I finally found a small, rusted one hidden in an old drawer. With4 hands, I inserted the key. It turned with a click!

I held my breath and opened the lid. To my5, there were no treasures or ancient maps. Instead, the box was filled with a collection of small,6 objects: a faded postcard, a smooth blue stone, a broken watch, and a bundle of letters tied with a ribbon. For a moment, I felt a touch of7.

But then I began to examine them closely. The postcard, sent by my grandfather to my grandmother, carried words of deep8 and love. The stone was from the beach where they first met; the watch, though broken, marked the time of their tenth anniversary. Each object was a chapter, a precious9 from their life together. These simple items witnessed their10, challenges, and everlasting love.

My initial disappointment vanished, replaced by a feeling of great11. I had not found material wealth, but something far more12 — a living history of love and dedication. I was deeply moved by the13 and warmth these ordinary objects held.

I carefully returned everything to the box, now regarding it not as a locked container, but as a sacred family14. That day, I made a decision to start my own collection, not of valuable things, but of moments and memories that truly matter. This experience taught me that the greatest treasures in life are often15 — they are the values, the stories, and the love that we carry forward.

Do you often study with headphones on? Or feel a sudden energy boost when your favorite song comes on? Music is far more than just entertainment; it's a powerful force that shapes our feelings, thoughts, and even actions in many ways.

This is the most common use of music. A fast-paced song can make you feel excited and ready for a workout, while a gentle melody can help you calm down after a long day. When you feel sad, listening to a song that understands your feelings can be a great comfort. It's like having a friend who always knows what to say.

Music Serves as a Focus Tool.

For many students, music is a necessary study partner. This type of music, often without lyrics, creates a steady background atmosphere. It helps block out distracting noises like conversations or traffic, allowing you to concentrate better on your homework.

Music Builds Social Connection.

Music brings people together. Think about school concerts or parties. Sharing a taste in music can be the start of a friendship. It acts as a universal language that helps us connect with others and feel part of a group.

Music Brings Back Memories.

Have you ever heard a song from your childhood and suddenly been flooded with clear memories? Music has a strong connection to memory. Setting facts or vocabulary to a simple tune can make them much easier to remember. Try singing your next history timeline to a melody!

Music Boosts Motivation.

Finally, music is a fantastic motivator. Need to clean your room or finish a long run? Some upbeat music can be the answer. So next time you face a boring task, turn on some energetic music. You might be surprised at how much faster it gets done.

A. Music regulates our emotions.

B. Music shapes our identity and culture.

C. This is why it can be a valuable learning aid.

D. It provides a rhythm that makes work lighter.

E. It improves your mood and reduces the feeling of fatigue.

F. In these settings, shared musical experiences create a sense of unity.

G. Specifically, classical or light music is often chosen for this purpose.

While heatwaves have long been associated with short-term increases in premature deaths, this study breaks new ground by examining their long-term health consequences. The research team from the University of Hong Kong analyzed data from 25,000 Chinese adults, using comprehensive medical tests including blood pressure, inflammation markers, cholesterol levels, and organ function assessments to determine biological age. By comparing this with chronological age, researchers established a clear link between heatwave exposure and accelerated aging.

The findings demonstrate that the cumulative number of heatwave days has the most substantial impact on biological aging. Although the observed effect over the two-year study period appears moderate, scientists warn that the lifelong cumulative impact could be profound. Dr. Cui Guo, the lead researcher, emphasized that "if heatwave exposure accumulates over decades, the health impact will be much more severe than our current findings suggest." She further cautioned that as climate change makes heatwaves more frequent and prolonged, future health consequences are likely to intensify.

Professor Paul Beggs of Macquarie University, while not involved in the study, characterized these findings as transformative. "Many have assumed they survived heatwaves unharmed," he noted. "This research reveals that heat exposure actually influences our aging rate."

The study accounted for multiple individual factors including weight, smoking history, and pre-existing medical conditions. However, researchers acknowledged the lack of data on certain behavioral aspects such as outdoor exposure duration and personal air conditioning use, highlighting the need for further investigation. Additionally, since study participants were generally healthier than the broader population, the aging effects on more vulnerable groups may be even more pronounced.

This marks another breakthrough following Jiaolong's first manned dive under Arctic ice. "Previously, Jiaolong operated at a single underwater point. This time, we expanded its capacity by enabling cooperation with an ROV," said Fu Wentao, chief pilot of Jiaolong.

The first joint dive took place on August 14, testing underwater positioning and communication between the two devices. A second dive on August 15 involved close cooperation: the ROV filmed Jiaolong collecting seabed samples, while Jiaolong passed items like rocks to the ROV. They also recorded each other in the deep sea.

According to Li Dewei of the National Deep Sea Center, such cooperation creates a combined advantage that overcomes the limits of manned submersibles in large-scale sampling. He noted that combining human decision-making with machine precision is an inevitable trend in deep-sea exploration.

In another innovation, scientists used AI-based image recognition along with environmental DNA detection to identify deep-sea organisms. More than 10,000 deep-sea biological images supported the AI identification, while DNA data verified its accuracy.

The expedition, China's largest in the Arctic Ocean, ended in late September. It involved four research vessels and revealed clear differences in seabed organism density, diversity, and size across Arctic regions. These findings will help assess how climate change affects deep-sea ecosystems.

Born in Hefei in 1922, Yang's academic journey was distinguished from the start. He obtained his master's from Tsinghua University before crucially advancing his studies in the United States, earning his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948. His brilliant career included essential roles at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and culminated at Stony Brook University, where he served as Einstein Professor and founded its Institute for Theoretical Physics, remaining there until 1999.

Yang's contributions to physics were extraordinary and vital. In 1957, he and Tsung-Dao Lee proposed the revolutionary concept of parity nonconservation, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize, becoming the first Chinese-born scientists to receive this honor. Furthermore, the Yang-Mills gauge theory, which he introduced with Robert Mills, is acknowledged as a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics, as important as the work of Einstein and Maxwell. His work has had a profound and lasting influence on modern science.

Deeply devoted to his homeland, Yang played a key role in bridging Chinese and global science. His 1971 visit to China was a pioneering act that helped restart academic exchanges with the United States. He was deeply committed to supporting Chinese scholars, helping many pursue studies abroad.

In 1999, Yang made the significant decision to return to China and joined Tsinghua University. For over two decades, he dedicated himself to nurturing scientific talent, promoting international academic exchange, and strengthening China's basic sciences. His lifelong passion for his country and for education has left an enduring impact on China's scientific institutions and research landscape.

Truth Revealed: Dishwashers Save More Water

Many people mistakenly assume dishwashers consume excessive water. In reality, ENERGY STAR certified dishwashers use less than 4 gallons per cycle. In comparison, hand washing with a continuously running tap can waste about 4 gallons of water every two minutes. Experts from the Natural Resources Defense Council also confirm that modern dishwashers require only 3 to 5 gallons to clean a full load, making them far more efficient than hand washing.

Energy Efficiency: Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly

Beyond water conservation, dishwashers outperform hand washing in energy usage. By heating water in a concentrated manner, they utilize energy more efficiently than continuously heating running water during hand washing. Studies show that switching from hand washing to machine washing just four times a week can save up to $130 annually in electricity costs, demonstrating significant energy conservation.

Usage Tips: Maximizing Performance

To get the most out of your dishwasher, keep these points in mind:   

- Always run full loads to avoid waste   

- Scrape off large food residues instead of pre-rinsing   

- Consider upgrading to an ENERGY STAR certified model if your current unit is outdated

The data below clearly illustrates the differences between the two methods:

It was in the 1930s, and things were tough. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago.

Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have "French toast" ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn't pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.

Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn't have any food hidden away. When he didn't find any, he issued the cheque to Mum.

Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.

Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren't patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.

Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.

You have heard about tea's health benefits, but not all the news（be） good. The latest study, led by Farhad Islami, from the American Cancer Society, has found that（drink）too hot tea may double your risk of esophagus（食道）cancer.

While previous studies have found a link hot drinks and this type of cancer, this is the first study to（accurate）figure out the temperature at which a hot liquid becomes risky. Dr. Islami and his colleagues find that the constant damage of stomach（cause）by swallowing the hot liquids may speed up the growth of cancer. While the（result）are unsettling, it may help you to know that out of the more than 49,000 tea drinkers in study, only 317 developed esophagus cancer. In other words, the overall risk is still small.

The study has also showed that although black and green teas have antioxidants（抗氧化剂） can help reduce cancer risk, there are other unknown compounds（化合物）in the teas that may have a harmful effect on your body when they（make）too hot. Before drinking hot teas, is wise to wait until they cool down.

In 2006, Doyne took a trip in Nepal, Asia. Having grown up in New Jersey, Doyne was2 to see so many orphaned children living on the streets. One day, she saw a little girl named Hema carrying3 to and from the village. She earned two dollars a day to support herself. She later found out that there were 80 million children across the globe living like Hema. She thought to herself, "4 the 80 million. What if I start with Hema?" It was then that she decided to take Hema under her wing and pay for her education.

But helping Hema was not enough for Doyne. Doyne used her5   to buy an acre of land. Then, she built the kids a home, the Kopila Valley Children's Home.

Now, the Do Something Foundation is doing something for Doyne. The organization provides resources and support for teens that want to make a(n)6 in the world. On Thursday night, the foundation7 Doyne the $100,000 prize winner of the 2009 Do Something Award.

The Kopila Valley Children's Home8 opened its doors in 2008. Doyne, now 22 years old, has helped more than 700 other orphans find families. She also9 a program that provides scholarships for10families to send their children to school. The children learn basic skills such as sewing and cooking. They also grow their own food in their garden and raise farm animals.

Doyne11 that she didn't have it all12 when she first arrived in Nepal. "I just felt that there was something there for me," she said. Her parents were13 of her.14 it was a challenge to persuade other adults that an 18-year-old girl could complete such a big project, Doyne never gave up on fund raising. In just over a year, she had enough money to build her dream home.

Doyne's story is a good15 that although we cannot solve all the world's problems on our own, we can take the first step of solving one problem.

With winter approaching, people begin to complain about cold weather. There' s plenty to love about cold weather. And there' s plenty of evidence that cooler temperatures can be part of a healthy life.

First, cooler temperatures can help you lose weight. It can also help you sleep better. You might feel uncomfortable at first if you cool your bedroom down. But if you, for example, switch your bedroom temperature from 72 down to 62 degrees gradually over a few weeks, your body will adjust.

I have long kept my winter house temperature at 62 degrees. How did I find that number? Well, I experimented on myself about eight years ago. I started at 66 and turned it down one degree every few days until 60. I found when the temperature was colder than 62, I couldn't focus. But 62 was perfect. Another benefit for me was that it also kept me clear-headed while working at home.

Interestingly, science also says 62 degrees is the magic number for brainwork. It said 62 degrees was the temperature at which the schoolboy subjects of the study functioned perfect. And while we' re speaking of work and school, other research shows that people study better when the weather outside is "bad".

But according to a Harvard Health Letter from 2010, proper cold temperatures could be good for skin because it trains blood vessels in the skin to be responsive. So, rosy cheeks ! There' s no reason to be afraid of winter weather. Hug it and you, too, can enjoy the season.

A. I recently read a 1972 study.

B. And you'll save money on energy costs as well.

C. Many people like to use cold water to wash their face.

D. At that time, I worked at home and liked warm temperature.

E. Most of us think cold weather leads to dry skin and wrinkling.

F. The reason was that I hated spending money on heating bills.

G. But if you' re active and healthy, it doesn't have to be a negative thing.
