This year, something happened that changed everything. I had been feeling pain in the left side of my stomach for months, but doctors were unable to figure out the problem. At the same time, I began noticing that my beloved drink left an awful aftertaste I had never noticed before. In late June, after opening up my second can of the day, pains shot across my stomach, and that was my last soda. Just like that, I was done, after 39 years. Why did it take so long? Was I truly psychologically dependent, or was it simply a bad habit?

The American Psychiatric Association doesn't specifically list Diet Coke addiction. However, research indicates its addictive potential. Ashley Gearhardt at the University of Michigan points to the two "culprits" that can be found in Diet Coke: aspartame (阿斯巴甜) and caffeine. Aspartame, 200 times sweeter than regular sugar, and caffeine work together to keep us desiring more.

As of now, I'm on Day 41 of being Diet Coke-free. The initial days were extremely difficult due to caffeine withdrawal, but I'm committed to maintaining this new lifestyle. My stomach hurts less, and my sweet tooth is not as persistent. I am quite pleased with myself for having altered a lifelong habit. If can do this, I can do anything, even if it takes 40 years.

Famous for its sunny beaches and natural wonders, Miyako Island welcomes many visitors during holidays.

Unique beaches

Yonaha Maehama Beach is the most famous beach in Miyakojima, where white sand stretches for seven kilometers. The ocean is colored in emerald blue, attracting visitors with its beauty.Compact Sunayama Beach, known for its arch-shaped rock, is accessed by walking through a narrow tunnel of trees.

Diverse and colorful fish

Snorkeling is a must-try in Miyakojima. Dense coral reefs, schools of tropical fish, sea turtles and plenty of space to free dive to depths of 8 to 15 meters close to the shore are standout features.For beginners, Aragusuku and Shigira are a good choice but advanced snorkelers may see Imgyo Marine Garden, Waiwai Beach and Shimojishima as their ultimate spots.

The bridges

Irabu Bridge is the longest toll-free bridge in Japan. It connects Miyakojima and Irabujima,stretching for 3540m, drawing a gentle curve. The length of the bridge can also be read as"san go no shi ma," meaning coral island in Japanese. Smaller bridges connect Irabu and Shimoji islands,giving visitors additional beach options. On Shimoji Island, there is a boardwalk around Tooriike,two dramatic marine ponds connected to each other and the sea by an underwater cave system.

Fresh island food

Delight your senses with juicy, melt-in-your-mouth Miyako beef, delicious Miyako soba (noodles served in soup), or fresh fruit. Okinawa prefecture boasts the highest mango yield in Japan,and Miyako Island's warm subtropical climate is optimal for growing fresh, juicy mangoes. Ice cream with a pinch of salt known as "yuki shio (snow salt)"does more than simply keep you cool.

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.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), painter, sculptor (雕塑家), architect and inventor, is probably the most talented person who ever lived. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, sits in the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫), is one of the great art attractions of the world.

The Mona Lisa is famous for the mysterious smile the woman's face. What is the reason for her smile? Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci (he)! This is some of her facial features (特征) are similar to those in one of Da Vinci's self-portraits. They might suggest that the smile is because Da Vinci knows the (true) —where we see a woman, what he painted was a man. Others might suggest she smiles because she has lost her (tooth)! We will never know for sure, but it is fun to guess!

Mona Lisa didn't always sit behind the glass in the Louvre. In 1911 the painting (steal). Many were called in for questioning, (include) the now famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.

(lucky), two years after the theft, it was discovered. People are now more careful to protect this precious work of art.

I'd been playing the3 for years, studying with a man named Rick from my hometown and practisig4. In those early years, I always focused on5 and added new, exciting factors (因素) to my6. I'd practise my skills over and over again until they started to sound7.

Then one day, I found something that I didn't8 in my musical experience before. I was performing a piece of music in my room — something I did quite often to9 soloing (独奏). At some point, a wave came over me where I wasn't thinking of any skills at all. Instead, I   10 my feelings through the music and let them be expressed through sound. The solo I played sounded better than before. This solo was my real moment of expressing myself from my11.

I realized for the first time that music was more than12 connected together. Music is a channel (渠道) for13. It is a communicator of feeling. I felt my own feelings14 out of me for the first time. It was pure magic. I remember siting on the floor after it, holding my guitar with a15 of respect. I finally knew what music was all about.

As to how to go about it, the first thing you need is a plan.. That is the first day to start studying for real. Plan out how many hours you will spend each day studying until the exam. Make a schedule and stick to it.

. This helps to develop a big-picture overview of the material. Start with big topics and leave room for subtopics. Fill in the information as best as you can. Once you see all the units of information in front of you, it will be easier to organize your studying.

To find out if you understand what you have been studying, try working with someone else who will ask you questions about the material. If you can answer and explain without too much effort then you are prepared..

On the night before the exam, make sure you get eight hours of sleep. On the morning of the exam, wake up about thirty minutes earlier so that you can do a quick refresher of some of the main points from your exam review. These last thirty minutes keep the information fresh in your mind without wearing you out. . You need to be healthy and careful to do your exam well. Make sure you arrive early so that you are not rushing around right before the exam starts.

By following these guidelines, you are better prepared for an exam. You will feel more confident and in control., you are more likely to do better in the exam.

A. When you feel as such

B. When you are used to tests

C. You have studied for a whole term

D. Eat a full breakfast of healthy food

E. Start with the day one week before the exam

F. The second thing is to outline the material you need to study

G. Usually, doing this will show areas that require more attention and study

More often than not, what we mean when we say someone "has an accent" is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition (定义) of accents is limiting and could cause prejudice (偏见). Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don't hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it's pointless to point out that someone "has an accent". We all do!

Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For example, "You got eat or not?" (meaning "Have you eaten?") is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn't mean that Singapore Oral English is "wrong" or "ungrammatical". The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers' solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it's different?

We need to move beyond a narrow conception (概念) of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone.

Language differences like these provide insights into people's cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one's identity (身份). Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We'd learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.

Hopie was a beautiful black and white dog. She was such a gentle soul. She was let out of the house in extreme heat and attacked by another dog. I tried to save her but it was too late. My heart breaks every day missing her.

Hopie used to follow me around the yard when I was mowing (割) the grass; even if it was hot. She'd take a break and go back in the shade for a while, but always felt like she had to stay near me and she'd come back and walk along behind me.

After I lost her I couldn't even bear to go out and mow the grass. One day I finally realized I had better get out there and do it because it was looking like a field. As l walked along slowly thinking of her and missing her, a black and white dragonfly (蜻蜓) started following me and then flying in front of me. It finally landed on the handle of the mower right near my hands and just sat there looking at me. I said out loud, "Hopie, is that you?" and the dragonfly just sat there and continued to look straight at me.

I have not ever seen a dragonfly with those colors: black body, white eyes and black and white wings. I knew in my heart that it was my Hopie coming to tell me. She was still there watching over me and tears came to my eyes. 1 told her I loved her and she flew away up into the sky as free as she could be. I still miss her every day and every time I see a dragonfly, I think of her.

But many artifacts (手工艺品) are still unluckily missing and some are on their way back. One such object is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda. The important arti- fact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain. The wooden seat is housed at the University of Oxford. It is one of at least 279 objects there taken from the Bunyoro- Kitara Kingdom.

Apollo John Rwamparo is a deputy prime minister of Uganda. He really values the country's cultural heritage. He requested the British to return the artifacts. Uganda officials are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts. The school has an unknown number of artifacts from Africa. Through many efforts, an artifact was recently to its home.

The British Museum holds a large collection of artifacts from Africa. Rose Mwanja said Uganda's commission had been trying hard on it and believed it could have some good effects. She is Uganda's commissioner for museums. She added she could start with those that are more willing to cooperate.

Many of the artifacts from Africa cannot even be found. That led to an organization star- ted by late Congolese art collector Sindika Dokolo. The organization offers to buy African art from collections in foreign countries. By 2020, when Dokolo died, his group had successfully recovered 15 items. However, for African governments, the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time.

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.
