A concrete bookstore in Wisdom Bay innovation park in Shanghai is the first 3D-printed in China. It opened the public in March, 2021. The bookstore consists of three parts, one of is the area of about 30 square meters, (accommodate) at most 15 people inside at a time.

Different from simple works such as a 3D-printed flower basin, the bookstore is innovative attempt in the architecture field. Besides saving time, the 3D-printed architecture is (cheap) in comparison with buildings using conventional (technique) as well. In addition, (it) use of fiber concrete is unique, which strengthens the earthquake (resist). Experts say it is as safe as any traditional concrete construction (base) on the experimental data.

Up to now, many similar researches on 3D-printed concrete technology (conduct) in France, Switzerland and Russia. But China's research and achievements in this field are among the best in the world.

Lighten up the atmosphere

Humour can be used to enrich literacy skills,spark creativity, teach critical analysis or just lighten the mood in the classroom.. Make fun of yourself and your mistakes.This can make students smile and has the added benefit of showing students that teachers are human.Use current music and sports subjects in teaching examples to engage students and introduce a fun cultural reference into the usually somber atmosphere of school.

Use humour in the media

. Take advantage of political cartoons to analyse historical events or trends and begin a debate. Humorous authors and reporters in the media can be used as models for writing jobs or oral presentations.

Children can fill in the words the cartoon characters might say, and then transfer those actual words into a story using quotation marks. Comics also can be used to teach literary devices such as puns, metaphors and symbolism. Children can create their own comics combining imagery from word pairs, a cartoon mouse using a computer mouse,for instance.

The learning benefits of humour

. Humour is found to be an important entryway into improving social connections with others. Brains might be able to be trained to interpret a difficult situation in a humorous way in order to help the body cope with stressful circumstances.

A. Keep a cartoon and joke file

B. Young students laugh in a classroom

C. Include happy remarks throughout lessons

D. Find humour from the behaviour of students

E. Humour is a kind of daily show for teachers

F. Humour can improve learning and strengthen memories

G. Newspapers provide points for issues on current events

Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet. The researchers found that the majority of nitrogen pollution present in wastewater—some 67 to 100 precent—is a by-product of water people consume.

Once it enters the environment, the nitrogen can have a series of ecological impacts. It helps algae grow much faster than they would normally, which is harmful to humans, other animals and plants. And when the algae eventually die, the problem is not over. Microorganisms(微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to "dead zones," where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans.

Although it is possible to treat algal blooms, many of the current methods are not always effective at getting rid of all of the harmful growth. Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution. So the best strategy for dealing with the effects of nitrogen pollution is prevention, says Patricia Glibert, an ocean scientist at the University of Maryland. Almaraz and her team suggest that controlling nitrogen pollution could be approached more quickly with a change in eating habits that could save billions of dollars in the long term.

A heart attack occurs when a blood vessel (血管) distributing oxygenated blood to the heart gets blocked and a piece of heart tissue dies from the deprivation of oxygen, according to Flavio Fenton, a professor of physics who studies both human and other animal species' hearts. "Since animals' hearts are very similar," Fenton said, "most animals hearts, in principle, could have heart attacks."

But that's not what happened. For instance, heart attacks occur very rarely in dogs. Even the chimps, which are not only closely related to humans but also share similar risk factors for heart disease, do not have heart attacks. Even in mice and rabbits that are genetically modified to have high cholesterol (胆固醇) and blood fats for the purpose of inducing atherosclerosis and other human diseases, actual heart attacks rarely occur, according to a 2009 paper.

Despite previous reports that other animals mostly don't have heart attacks, the truth is that there haven't been a lot of experiments investigating this question. "You can observe that an animal has suddenly died, but very rarely would you actually look for the cause of it. We just don't know whether they suffer heart attacks," said Tomasz Owerkowicz, a physiologist at California State University.

But based on heart structures, researchers can make predictions about which creatures are most likely to have heart attacks. Owerkowicz and Fenton are doing such experiments on alligators (短吻鳄). "In their heart, you find the vessels; and they have spongy (海绵状的) tissues, around which there's a lot of blood, not necessarily coming from the vessels," Fenton said.

According to the researchers' experiments so far, alligators don't have heart attacks. The alligator's heart tissue had no signs of cell death, Fenton added.

Daprano grew up in Iowa. Then, she moved to California. As a primary school teacher, she began running in order to keep up with her student."I was known as a running teacher," she said."I had my students do fitness before we studied in the morning and then throughout the day."Then she began running competitively with 5K and 10K road races before moving to the track. She is now the world record holder in the women's 75-year-old age group 400 meters and 800 meters. "When I get to the final fi nish line, I want this body to be worn out. I'm not doing this to live to be 100. I'm doing this to be the best I can be today."

After moving to Atlanta about a decade ago, Daprano met fitness trainer David Buer. Ever since, she's been coming to his gym, where he tailors workouts for Daprano's specifc needs."When she came to me, she was pushing 70 years old,"Buer said."I've worked with other individuals of Jeanne's age, but she came to me with different goals. She had a unique drive and passion—not just a passion for fitness or athletics but for life in general."

Last February, Daprano took on a new challenge: her first indoor rowing competition. In classic fashion, she broke the world record in the 80-to-84 age group, rowing 2,000 meters in 9:23:7. For those hoping to either start getting in shape or stay in shape for a long time, she offers this advice: Listen to your body. What are you passionate about? How are you going to keep physically fit and mentally fit? Start where you are. Don't look ahead or compare yourself to somebody else.

Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don't and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid.

Always being distracted. Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of fundamental importance in learning. Study can't make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.

Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!

We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner? Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.

Giving up. "The most certain way to succeed," Thomas Edison once said, "is always to try just one more time." And often, it comes after first failing time and time again.

If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices.

A. Giving in to laziness.

B. Learning to get rid of laziness.

C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error.

D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.

E. Success, however you define it, never comes from not trying.

F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.

G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.

However, he hated it, and had hated the whole idea since his father bought him a gun. But he was determined to go through with it. He loved his father, and wanted his approval more than anything in the world.

They came to a narrow and hidden place facing the bay. Jeremy sat down nervously and waited. To reduce fear, he took a picture of his father against the clean water. Then he put the camera hurriedly on the grass and picked up his gun.

Jeremy got his gun ready. "I'll let you shoot first," his father said, loading his own gun. "You know, I've been waiting for a long time for this day. Just the two of us..."He broke off, bending forward, eyes narrowed. "There's a small flight heading this way now. Keep your head down. I'll give you the word."

The sun came out. Jeremy could see everything clearly: his father's face, tense and eager; the white frost on the gun. His heart was beating wildly. He prayed, "Don't let them come, please!"

But they kept coming. "Four black," his father said. "One mallard." High above, Jeremy heard the pulsing whistle of wings as the flight began to circle. The mallard was leading, his feet dropping down, reaching for the silver-colored water. Closer, closer... "Get set," his father whispered.

"Now!" cried Jeremy's father. "Take them!"

Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, holding the gun. In the same instant, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. "Shoot!" said something sharply in Jeremy's brain. But up went the mallard higher still, until suddenly he caught the full force of the wind and flew away, out of range.

The Students' Union

Chinese architect and writer Lin Huiyin was posthumously awarded (追授) a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Weitzman School of Design of the University of Pennsylvania in(recognize) of her outstanding contributions as a pioneer of modern architecture in China.

(comment) on the decision, Weitzman Dean Fritz Steiner said that "All the men from China received full scholarships and Lin got half of one. She was the only woman and the only student who (deny) an architecture degree by the School. " "But she deserved that degree. "

In 1924, with her admission application to the architecture program of the University of Pennsylvania(reject), Lin had to study in the only department accepted female students — the School of Finc Arts. Apart from completing her art courses as well as most ofrequired architecture courses, Lin also worked as a teaching assistant in architectural design and outperformed most of her male peers(academic).

After returning to China, as the first Chinese female architect in modern times, Lin achieved great success in architectural history, design, and education war and disease.

With the historical revision of gender(equal) being underway overseas, Lin's legendary story has now become known to generations of young people. This is not just a story aboutChinese women are breaking through stereotypes (刻板印象) and historical limits, but also serves as a role model for modern Chinese women.

Toward the end of the year, Mr. Dalton wanted to3 our knowledge and gave us a 25-question true/false nationally standardized test. The test presented each problem with a conclusion shown. We were required to4 the result using our theorems (定理).

I completed 24 problems quickly, but number seventeen was a5! I spent thirty minutes on that proof and6 I made it with all my efforts.7 I marked the question true and handed in the test.

When the results came back the next day, my score was a 96, and number seventeen was8 wrong! When Mr. Dalton asked if there were any questions, for the first time, my hand9.

Instead of10 that this was a nationally standardized test and there, couldn't be anything wrong with the answers, Mr. Dalton did the most powerful thing I've ever seen a teacher do: he held out the11 to me with an encouraging smile on his face.

I went to the board for the first time and12 my proof, using the whole board and three different colors of chalk. In the end, everyone clapped. Mr. Dalton gave13 for my answer on number seventeen, and I ended up with a grade of 104.

When I returned 37 years later to visit him again, Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默氏症) had14 his mind, but he still wore a happy grin.

I have been15 to Mr. Dalton for allowing me to challenge his authority and empowering me to speak up as long as I think I'm right.

As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines.

Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, "men have become the tools of their tools".

That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau's message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion.

When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I've done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren't as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they're realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life.

It appears that dogs never grasp these distinctions. "Dogs might not attend to all details of speech sound when they listen to words," study senior author Attila Andics, of the Department of Ethology at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary, said in a statement. "Further research could reveal whether this could be a reason that disables dogs from acquiring a numerous vocabulary".

For the study, published Tuesday (Dec. 8) in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the researchers monitored the brain waves of 17 very good dogs using a technique called electroencephalography (EEG) (脑电图). The study is one of the first to use EEG on awake dogs that didn't have any specific training. The dogs visited the lab with their owners, and once the dogs got used to the new environment, they sat down on a carpet with their owners, and the researchers attached electrodes (电极) to the dogs' heads with tape.

The dogs' brains could quickly discriminate the words that they knew from the words that sounded very different ("sit" vs. "bep"). But their brains seemed to make no difference between the words they knew and the words that differed by only a single speech sound ("sit" vs. "sut"). Researchers have seen a similar pattern in infants younger than 14 months.

It's not that the dogs can't hear the different sounds — studies have found that dogs can distinguish individual speech sounds (such as "d," "o" and "g"). But they may have "attentional and processing biases (偏差)" that prevent them from attending to all the sounds in a word, they said. Future studies with a large number of subjects (实验对象) and more trials of words are needed to confirm the findings, they said.

However, life wasn't always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body's own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods.

With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off.

All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country.

Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. "We're all unique in our own ways," he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach.

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 because some of her (face) features 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.

By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, "You can pick one from my bicycle3." "Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so4." She was right. All my bikes for girls were 1980s models, not the kind a kid today would likely5.

As Christmas6 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she7 a Salvation Army (救世军) volunteer standing next to a big pot. "Can we give them something, Daddy?" she asked. "Sorry, Em, I'm out of8."

Throughout December, Emily   9 to work hard. Then one day, she made a surprising   10. "You know all the money I've been saving?" she said, paused for a while, and then said, "I'm going to give it all to the poor people." So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $69 to a volunteer who was really very thankful.

11 by Emily's selflessness, I decided to12   one my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children.13 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a14 bike took on a glow (发光).

Later, when I16 the bikes, the car dealer (车商) said, "You're making two kids very happy, sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle we receive from the17 people, we're giving away one chance to18 a girls' mountain bike."

Why wasn't I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the winner? I like to think it was a way of19 a little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years — while giving her dad a20 in the process.
