Within two years of first showing signs of memory loss, Peter Marshall had to give up work as early onset Alzheimer's began to take hold.

His wife Lisa started a blog called "Oh Hello Alzheimer's" to help her cope with the progressive 1 of her husband's fading memory. I get 2 every day from people saying, ‘Thank you —now I don't feel so alone'," she said.

As the disease3 , Peter's memory 4 faded and he began to refer to Lisa as his "favourite person". Then, one day last year, they were watching a wedding5 on television when Peter suddenly looked at his wife and said, "Let's do it!" "Well, OK, we should get married then," she told him.

The next day, 6 , Peter appeared to have forgotten all about it. Still, with the 20th 7 of their wedding approaching this year, the idea seemed to make sense to Lisa in the face of her husband's rapid8 . Sarah, Lisa's daughter from a marriage before she met Peter, helped organize the event. "I knew that my stepdad, who I am very close with, was there through some of the9 times of my life."

When Lisa joined her husband to 10 vows for the second time, his delight was clear for all to see. "It was just magical — straight out of a11 ." she said.

Most smartphones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location. There are lots of great uses for this technology.So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service, and pay attention to how you are using it. Here're some important points you may find helpful.

Choose what's best for you. Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot.Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting. Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.

Know who your friends are. This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend. It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky, so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.

Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time, but others will send it forever — until you stop it. Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.

Update parents. Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text.If you're heading home late at night, you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive, so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.

A. Check back often.

B. Keep sending your location.

C. However, these services are not for all children.

D. With its help, you can easily share your location with them.

E. Check-ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move.

F. Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set.

G. Some location services operate like Facebook, where you invite and accept friends.

Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I've also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.

For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us "cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction." This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can't keep. "What's new," Johnson wrote, "is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers."

As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work's potential. If researchers can't keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because "‘quantum' stands for something cool you shouldn't be able to understand." And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.

After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson's concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.

The company, he says, is closer than any other firm "by a very large margin ( 幅 度 )" to building a "useful" quantum computer, one that "solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise." He adds, "People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others."

Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition "by a wide margin", as Taylor claims? I don't know. I'm certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.

In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It's clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.

I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don't understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.

When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that's a scary thing.

What's interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn't lead to happiness.

Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don't suddenly become "happy" people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That's because experiences are more easily combined with a person's identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.

Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through "things" are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.

It's natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn't tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don't have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.

Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.

注意：1.词数 100 左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

I flew back to New York from a spring break. My flight landed lately in the evening. I decided to taking an airport bus to the downtown area so that I could find a faster and cheap taxi to get home. It turned out that a bus was full of passengers but I was chatting with a few of them. I told that it was unsafe to be waiting for in the street to catch a taxi at midnight. One of the woman in the bus said that her car was parked near the station. So she offered me a ride to my home, drop me safely and did not accept a penny in return. I was so thankful for his kindness.

South Koreans have enjoyed their first close-up look of new baby giant pandas at a name-revealing ceremony which is alsoearly cerebration of the 100 days since the twins' birth.

What to name the twin sisters was widely discussed among netizens after they were born on July 7 in theme park Everland. The names were (ultimate) decided on through two public voting(procedure). One is named Rui Bao, which means wise treasure, and the other is Hui Bao, shining treasure. Half a million panda lovers helped choose their names, with a handful of lucky fans (invite) to the ceremony. "They are even (cute) in real life than they appear onscreen," said a college student in attendance.

The baby pandas, have just begun teething and crawling, are very healthy. Everland has shared videos documenting the pandas' growth online. The twins' birth has gained 640,000 views since it (upload). "This feels like a great opportunity to call for better(preserve) of pandas," said Donghee Chung, the head of the park's zoo. Chung noted that between 40% and 50%of panda births resulttwins.

Everland said it would monitor the twins' health (determine) when the twins are ready to be open to the public.

In Jan. 2020, Teresa Hernandez was 35 weeks pregnant. One morning, she had a strange1 —the baby wasn't moving as it usually did. She decided to go to the hospital to 2 everything was OK.

When she got there, she learned that the baby's heart rate was 3 . The doctors told her that her baby needed to be delivered4 by an operation. Hearing that, Hernandez was in complete5 . After all, the baby was too little. But the doctors said if the baby was 6 , they wouldn't be able to help if something went wrong.

Hernandez was7 to the operating room. On the way, she suffered from great8 . She started to cry and have trouble breathing, and she knew she was having a 9 attack. That's when a nurse in the operating room 10 to help.

"This nurse, she took my hand and started pressing with11 . And then she 12 me while they were doing the operation. And then she 13 one hand on my cheek. And she started humming," Hernandez 14 ."I felt like my mom was there, holding me."

"When your mom is there, you feel18 . You feel like you can do it. You feel like everything is going to be 19 . And that's what I felt with her," Hernandez said. "I'm really, really20 for what she did that day for me."

The philosophy that can help you keep your home organized

How can we clean up our space and keep it that way? That's a question that Star Hansen thinks a lot about. She's a professional organizer who teaches classes on home organizing. She believes that keeping your home neat and tidy is a continual process.. Here are her tidying philosophy strategies to clean up your messes.

Understand your chaos

Hansen says everyone's chaos tells a personal story. What becomes chaos and where your chaos build up can say a lot about what's going on with you. If you have unwanted piles of stuff around your house, ask yourself: What's making it hard to throw them away? For example, a uniform that hasn't fit for years.. When you understand the reasons behind your chaos, it's a lot easier to know what to keep and what to throw away.

Start small

When it comes to organizing, don't bite off more than you can chew. If you start with too big a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. So don't try to clean your entire garage in one afternoon.. For example, you can tidy your cupboard first and save more complicated items, like your garage, for last. Setting realistic goals can help keep you invested in the process.

It's easy to be organized the day after tidying. But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your luggage? Or when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up? The key to staying organized is to create practices that can be easily maintained. Make a system that works for you even when you've got a cold. For example, label storage containers on all four sides so they're easier to spot..

A. Make it easy to stay organized

B. Abandon the fancy storage boxes

C. Instead, start with something less challenging

D. Maybe it reveals a longing for your former profession

E. That attitude can help you let go of things you don't need

F. You have to take the time to create systems that work for you

G. Make sure your most used items are always the easiest to reach
