The Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, has been  (official) listed as a UN floating holiday in its calendar of conferences and meetings as from 2024.

The UN General Assembly, in a resolution (决议), acknowledges the significance of the Lunar New Year,  is observed in many UN member states, and invites the UN bodies at headquarters and other duty  (station), where observed, to avoid holding meetings on the Lunar New Year.

The resolution,  (adopt) on Friday without a vote, encourages this arrangement to be considered when drafting future calendars of conferences and meetings.

Dai Bing, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, said after the adoption of the resolution that the Spring Festival, not only bears the ideas of the Chinese civilization of peace and harmony but also (carry) the common values of humanity such as harmonious family, social inclusion and sound relationship between man nature.

Dai said China's effort (promote) the Spring Festival as a UN holiday is a practical step toward (realize) its Global Civilization Initiative.

The resolution serves  a showcase of the influence of Chinese civilization and aims to enhance interactions between different civilizations worldwide. It also reflects the values of  (diverse) and inclusion promoted by the United Nations, he said.

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet Angel. He knew it was a long trip to where Angel lived, so he packed his 1 with bread and a six-pack of root beer and he started his 2 .

When he had 3 three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just 4 some pigeons blankly. The boy sat down next to her and 5 his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked 6 , so he offered her some bread. She 7 accepted it and smiled at him. Her 8 was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he 9 her a root beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was 10 ! They sat there all afternoon 11 and smiling, but they never said a word.

As it grew12 , the boy realized how13 he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he14 , ran back to the old woman and gave her a15 .

She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so17 ?" He replied, "I had18 with Angel." But before his mother could19 , he added, "You know what? She's got the most20 smile I've ever seen!"

How do we stay motivated once we have committed ourselves to action?  Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.

Have self-belief

When you are faced with a setback, don't just let it defeat you. Remember that you have already overcome other obstacles. Believing in your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator. You know you can solve the problem facing you because you have done it before.

Setting goals

The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals. A long-termgoal will be the ultimate dream —let's say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.

Happiness is a choice

Don't let problems, difficulties, or setbacks get you down. They are temporary, and with a bit of effort and organization, they will be solved. Choose to stay happy, to be contented, and motivated. Remember that happiness should not be a final goal.

Keep your motives in mind

Periodically, it is good to step back and take a critical look at what you are doing and why. This will help you to see whether your motives are the same as they were at the start of your venture.  Doing something for the wrong motives, especially those that fall outside the law, can be a source of much worry and certainly will lead to motivation being affected.

A．You'll be easier to work with.

B．Self-motivation requires effort.

C．It must be the way you lead your life.

D．Believe in yourself and your abilities.

E．Don't let motives slip after your failure.

F．Our dreams are usually a bit uncertain and unclear.

G．Motives can change not always for the right reasons.

Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. All over the world, as soon as light filters over the horizon, songbirds start singing. They sing to defend their territory and to impress potential mates.

"Why birds sing is relatively well-answered," says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much? "For some reason," Adam says, birds have "a crazy drive to sing." This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous.

"As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself," she says. "Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody."

In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may not have much choice. They may have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal muscles the regular exercise they need to produce top-quality song.

These findings could be related to human voice s too. "If you apply the bird results to the humans," says Adam, "anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience a loss in vocal performance."

To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed a series of experiments on zebra finches —little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks.

Through these experiments. Adam's conclusion is that "songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don't sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that's bad."

This may help explain songbirds' constant singing. It's a kind of daily vocal practice to keep their instruments in tip-top shape. It's a good rule to live by, whether you're a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one's heart out.
