Sit in my classroom, I was observing my teacher. She was handing out our report cards one by one. I watched my classmates smiling faces and remembered my poor result last year. Though I worked hardly, I was still afraid. When it was her turn, I walked towards the table in great difficulty. My hands were shaking when I receive my result card. My teacher was saying something, but I felt such nervous that I couldn't hear her. But, soon, a round of applause brought me back, and I heard my teacher say, "What splendid job." I opened my result card, only to discovering an A + grade. I was glad that what my hard work paid off.

Six international couples from China, the United States, India, Greece and Lebanon participated a themed event in Chongqing's Rongchang district on the traditional Lantern Festival, which falls on Saturday this year.

The group took part in many activities （joyful）, such as making yuanxiao, solving riddles, and making lanterns （dress）in hanfu that is traditional Chinese-style clothing.

"It is my（two）visit here," said 44-year-old Georgios Marketakis from Greece. "I like everything I see here."

"There are so many glorious folk cultures in China need to be promoted," said Marketakis's wife, Chen Linxia, 38, a local resident. The couple said they had enjoyed another（impress）traditional festival in Rongchang. In another folk experience, Marketakis made a wall hanging by plant dyeing（染色）and（draw）on a piece of Rongchangxiabu, a traditional handmade textile（纺织品）. The weaving techniques （list）as a national cultural intangible heritage（非物质文化遗产）in 2008.

Their handwork was coached by 32-year-old local Tang Yi  her husband, Ivan Andrew Chen, 35, who is from India. To spread the xiabuculture, the couple are now settling in Rongchang.

Rongchang, one of historical （city）in Southwest China, claims three national cultural intangible heritages, including Rongchang xiabu, Rongchang pottery and Rongchang folding fan products.

18-year-old Lilly Baker was driving when an elderly woman in a wheelchair caught her eye. The woman was 1  to cross a train track but got stuck. Without 2 , Lilly stopped to rescue her. Little did she 3 , however, that doing so would 4  a narrow escape for them both.

With all of her 5 , Lilly tried to pull the elderly woman to safety, but she faced difficulties. 6 , in their attempt for freedom, they ended up 7  twice. Still, Lilly remained 8 . She got an added rush of this determination when she saw a train coming right at them.

"He was honking（按喇叭）wildly and the lights started 9 ," Lilly recalled. Soon after, Lilly managed to pull her and the woman out of the 10 way. Had they been much closer to the train, neither of them would have 11 it. "It's a near-death 12 ," Lilly said. "The railroad company told me that I was 18 inches away from getting 13 ."

Ardmore Police Chief Jereme Robison was sent to the 14 to help. Despite his experience, he was 15 by the risky rescue. He took this moment to stress the fact that anyone can be a hero, no matter who they are. "16 comes in all shapes and sizes," Jereme said. "You don't have to be a 6'5 guy that's 17 to get out and do something."

The elderly woman has major leg injuries but, 18 , she's in the hospital and is expected to be okay 19 . As for Lilly, she said she couldn't be more grateful for the 20 to help someone.

If you're considering changing careers, here are some steps to guide you through a change in your career path.

Take a personal inventory（清单）. Consider your reactions to your current job and how they impact your job satisfaction. when you have time. Ask yourself tough questions like, "What is it about my job that I do or don't like?" Answer them, then read your answers. From your own notes, you'll begin to see a picture of what job satisfaction looks like for you.

Decide if you want to change industries. though you are discovering more about yourself and what satisfactory work means to you. For some, switching careers might mean starting over in a completely new industry, while others may seek a new occupation within the same one.

. With your career shift narrowed down to a few job types you may take, you're able to begin more extensive exploration. One way to learn more about a field of interest is to conduct informational interviews with people in that field. .

Make an action plan. Creating your action plan means defining a clear goal and milestones（里程碑）to complete it. By this point, you've done all the research and should be able to narrow your career change to a specific occupation. . Think about things like education and certification, skill development, attending networking events and seizing opportunities to practice within the specific industry or field. Write down what steps you plan to take and a timeline to completion.

A. Research potential job matches

B. Ask others in your professional network

C. It's time to consider what it will take to get there

D. Write down notable events and how they make you feel

E. This will help you decide if the industry or field is a good fit

F. You should also define in what way you want to change career paths

G. For example, if you're into IT industry, talk to those who are experts in this area

Researchers in Washington found that propaganda（宣传）written by artificial intelligence（AI）can be just as convincing to the average American as real propaganda created by human propagandists.

The study, conducted by scientists at Stanford University and Georgetown University, used a powerful AI system called GPT-3 to generate（生成）false propaganda articles on some hot topics. The researchers then conducted an online survey of over 8,000 Americans. Participants were shown real propaganda articles as well as the AI-generated disinformation. Afterward, they were asked whether they agreed with the main argument being made in each article.

Actually, the AI-generated propaganda was able to affect people's opinions nearly as often as the real deal. On average, agreement with the AI-written articles was only around four percentage points lower than agreement with human-written propaganda. "This suggests that propagandists could use GPT-3 to generate persuasive articles with minimum human effort, by using existing articles on unrelated topics to guide GPT-3 about the style and length of new articles," the study authors write in the journal PNAS Nexus.

By feeding GPT-3 just a few examples of propaganda, it was able to produce new articles in a similar style. The researchers found that with just a little bit of human input, the AI's propaganda could actually become more convincing than what humans are able to alone.

By automating propaganda creation, Al enables bad actors to flood online platforms with misleading content. The study authors recommend that while AI propaganda represents a serious threat, we should focus on better detection methods to counter disinformation campaigns as soon as possible. For example, people should identify false accounts and front groups spreading AI-generated content.

"If generative AI tools can expand propaganda generation, research that improves the detection of infrastructure（基础设施）needed to deliver content to a target（such as inauthentic social media accounts）will become more important," the researchers conclude.

A team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.

The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive（草书）on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type.

"We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard," says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. "Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding（编码）new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning." The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper.

"We've shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it's the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing," Audrey adds. "This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty differentiating between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b' and ‘d'. They haven't felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters."

Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. "There's some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay," Audrey concludes.

Plenty of audiences have warned: don't see the new French movie The Taste of Things on an empty stomach. Juliette Binoche plays a longtime personal cook to a man who's a gourmand（美食家）. They share a passion for food. Filled with delicious meals, the film celebrates food, and all the work and love that go into making it.

When you see a delicious meal in a movie or an ad, chances are that it's not fit to eat. Food stylists have been known to substitute glue for milk, and coat meat with motor oil. All this was a big "No" for Vietnamese French director Tran Anh Hung.

Tran says he wanted everything in The Taste of Things "to be real," from the raw ingredients（食材）to the menu to the way the cooks move in the kitchen. Real food can't always handle multiple takes. Plus, Tran needed to show dishes at different stages of preparation. So he needed a lot of everything. For a classic French dish, "we needed 40 kilos of meat for the shooting." He also had to find vegetables that looked like they were harvested in the 19th century. "They're not as beautiful as today," he says, "They're not straight, and they have many spots on the skin."

After doing extensive research into the history of French cuisine and working with a historian, Tran enlisted three-star chef Pierre Gagnaire to make sure the menu he'd come up with worked in real life.

Gagnaire also cooked for Tran for five days, so the director could study his movements in preparation for filming. Tran says watching Gagnaire move around the kitchen taught him that "simplicity is important and you don't need to have the perfect gesture for this or that. You need only to be very free." Gagnaire says the movie feels like a gift. "For my creativity, it's an honor," he says. The famous chef agreed to take a small part in the film.

"When you leave this film, you feel calm because instead of violence, there's tenderness," Gagnaire says.

Where: The beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama

This three-day party came to be in 2010 and has been popular since. What's better than your feet in the sand and live music? This year's top performers to look out for are Odesza, and Zach Bryan. But that's just a few names out of the long list of acts to see.

When I was a young father, every weekend and festival, my wife and I would take our kids to her family gathering. It always took place at a picnic area on the side of a mountain. On the top of the mountain was her family' s house. The road to the top of it wasn' t quite smooth. Even when the weather was fine, it was a difficult ride with a dirt road full of potholes, sharp turns, and sticking rocks that could break the bottom of your car if you hit them wrong. 

If it had recently rained, you had to go quick, or you ran the risk of getting your car stuck in the mud. Cars would roar up the road fast, and then look for parking spots along the side of the hill in the grassy areas. You always had to keep your eyes on the road even when you were stepping out of your car. 

On one of these gatherings, I remember seeing a small tortoise（乌龟）enjoying sunlight on the top of a rock near the end of the road near a small wood, which belonged to my wife' s family. I watched as one car sped by and almost hit him on the right. Then another car ran past even faster and nearly knocked him off the stone on the left. 

The small tortoise pulled his head into his shell（壳）both times, thinking that would protect him, but I knew if one car ran over the little tortoise, he would be dead. I quickly walked over and picked him up before the next car came speeding up the hill. Then I walked him deep into the nearby woods. Finally, I found another stone where he might enjoy the sun in safety and left him there in peace. 

Unfortunately, on this road, I often found dead or injured small animals.

Dear John,

Ancient China has a long history and fine culture,  (leave) the world a thousand-year civilization heritage, which is still  (inspire) . 

However, when we pay a visit  the treasures and are shocked by them, we should admit the fact that time has caused harm to them, whether it is the  (break) pieces of porcelain（瓷器）, the faded wall paintings or the grass roofs of ancient temples. 

Fortunately, time also saw the hard work of those who  (careful) keep the past alive. Behind the shining museum collections, there are the people  clear away the dust from them, and bring  second life to them. 

They work like doctors. And their " patients" include the palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, wall paintings of Mogao Grottoes in Gansu Province, the Terracotta Warriors from the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC) in Shaanxi Province and the Great Wall that stands  (thousand) of years. 

Generation after generation, skillful hands and bright eyes may grow old, their hearts remain strong, and the enthusiasm（热情）never disappears. 

More than 108 million cultural treasures  (house) in China' s public museums, and 767, 000 ancient architecture, and heritage sites are listed in China. More than 160, 000 people work on cultural relics across the country. 

When I was a little boy growing up, I would always change out of my good clothes after church and run outside to play for a few hours. When I came back inside, the house always smelt 1 . It was my Italian Nana 2  our Sunday dinner. There would be freshly cooked Italian bread with butter. There would be noodles covered in red sauce（调味汁）3  cooked for hours. 

I remember we would all 4  the old, metal dining room table. Then we would 5  with smiles, laughter and joy. I always felt so 6  and safe there. We always 7  the table with full stomachs and happy hearts. 

As I got older and became an adult myself, I 8  to make smaller types of Nana' s Sunday dinners. I got the 9  of making sauce from Dad. Often I would get very close to making a dinner like Nana' s but it was never quite 10 . 

There finally came a point when I 11  what I was doing wrong. I was trying to get back a 12  while what I really wanted to do was get back a feeling. It wasn' t just the 13  food that made those dinners so wonderful, it was also the feeling of 14  that was there. 

Nana always put her love into her cooking and her life as well. Since then I' ve tried my best to do the same. No matter what I am cooking or what I am doing, I always try to 15  it with love. 

In an increasingly busy world, finding moments of peace is more important than ever. One way to create a peaceful area within your home is to build an indoor water fountain（喷泉）. It adds beauty to your home. And it also offers a lot of calming benefits. 

Reducing Stress

The soft sound of flowing water has an ability to reduce stress and worry.  Indoor water fountains offer an easy way to bring this calming experience into your home. The sound of flowing water can bring you positive feelings. Our brains developed in nature so they' re easier to adapt to natural sounds. 

Improving Air Quality

 As water flows and little water drops spread into the surrounding air, they can help to make the environment wet. This is particularly valuable in dry climates or during the winter months, when indoor heating systems can lead to dry, uncomfortable air. Improved air quality can lead to a sense of happiness and complete comfort. 

Strengthening Focus and Concentration

The calming effect of an indoor water fountain can help improve concentration and production. By creating peace, these fountains can help reduce distractions（分心）.  Whether you' re working from home or dealing with a challenging project, a water fountain can help in keeping your concentration and improving your performance. 

Helping Sleep Better

For those who have sleep problems, an indoor water fountain can be a valuable help.  Many people find that having a fountain in their bedroom helps to cover background noise, creating a more peaceful sleep environment. 

A. Everyone can feel stressed. 

B. These can increase your happiness. 

C. They also help you form a more focused mind. 

D. It can bring calm and relaxing feelings. 

E. Indoor water fountains can make the air in your home cleaner. 

F. Indoor water fountains can also serve as good-looking decorations. 

G. The peaceful sounds of flowing water can calm you into a deeper sleep. 

A new study says that no matter how much the world cuts back on greenhouse gases, a large and important part of ice of Antarctica（南极洲）is expected to disappear. 

Researchers used computer models to expect the future melting（融化）of protective ice around Antarctica' s Amundsen Sea in western Antarctica. They said the melting will take hundreds of years. It will slowly add nearly 1. 8 meters to sea levels. And it will be enough to change where and how people live in the future. 

The study found that even if future warming was limited to just a few tenths of a degree more, it would have limited power to prevent ocean warming that could lead to the breakdown of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. 

Study lead writer Kaitlin Naughten is an expert on oceans at the British Antarctic Survey. She said their research suggests that Earth is set on the path to a quickly increasing speed of ocean warming and ice shelf melting over the rest of the century. 

While past studies have talked about how serious the situation is, Naughten was the first to use computer modeling to study how warm water from below will melt the ice. The study looked at four different cases in how much greenhouse gases the world produces. In each case, ocean warming was just too much for this area of the ice to survive. 

Naughten looked at floating areas of ice that hold back glaciers（冰川）. Once these areas of ice melt, there is nothing to stop the glaciers behind them from flowing（流）into the sea. 

The study also looked at what would happen if future warming was limited to 1. 5 degrees Celsius over mid-19th century levels：the international goal. They found the rapid melting process in this case as well. 

The world has already warmed about 1. 2 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times and much of this summer went past the 1. 5 degrees mark. 

The symbol of Thanksgiving in the United States is its traditional food, a large bird we call the " turkey" . But the turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. 

The word " Turkey" has meant " the land of the Turks" since ancient times. The word " turkey" which refers to the bird first appeared in the English language in the mid-1500s. 

The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds. There is an African bird called the guinea fowl. Portuguese traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa. 

This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought of the bird as a " Turkish chicken" . When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent. 

Orin Hargraves is a lexicographer, someone who writes dictionaries. Hargraves elucidates what happened. " Some Europeans saw an American turkey, thought that it was the guinea fowl, which at that time was called the ‘ turkey cock' , and so gave it the same name. " 

Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird " turkey" , even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe. But English is not the only language with interesting— and even questionable— names for this North American bird. 

The Turkish, for their part, call the turkey " hindi" , the Turkish name for India. The mention to India probably comes from the old, wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia. The French call it " dinde" , a name that also connects the bird to India. " D'  Inde" means " from India" in the French language. " Turkey:" has similar names in several other languages. So, what do they call this North American bird in India? Well, in the Hindi language, " turkey" is " tarki" . 

Serena Williams and Ruby Bridges will be chosen into the National Women' s Hall of Fame in March next year. The American organization in Seneca Falls, New York made the announcement Thursday. 

The tennis superstar and the human rights leader were added to the list to be honored during Women' s History Month in March. Eight other winners were announced in the spring. 

The 42-year-old Williams has won main events in tennis, called Grand Slam events, 23 times. She holds the record for the longest ranking（排名）as the top competitor. She retired from tennis last year. Earlier this month, Williams became the first athlete to win the Fashion Icon award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. 

The 69-year-old Bridges was six years old when she became the first black student at a Louisiana public school, where non-whites had been refused. The event took place in 1960. In 1963, painter Norman Rockwell recreated the event in his painting, The Problem We All Live With. Bridges built the Ruby Bridges Foundation in 1999. It offers educational programs and resources to guide and support the younger toward a peaceful future. 

For the first time, the ceremony（典礼）will be broadcast（播出）nationally in the best time from New York City, the Hall of Fame said. The past 30 ceremonies have taken place in places around Seneca Falls, New York. The town was the site of the first Women' s Rights Convention and is home to the National Women' s Hall of Fame. 

" The 2024 new numbers are scientists, activists, performers, and athletes who are changemakers of today and inspiration for the women of tomorrow," said National Women' s Hall of Fame leader, Jennifer Gabriel. 

The American public chooses women to be considered for the Hall of Fame. A group of experts examines them and makes the final decision.
