Most teachers were disappointed in me, a "bad boy", but my English teacher, Ms Hale, was different. She never criticized me. One time, I did not do my homework for three days. She just said, "You can tell me if you have any problems."

One rainy afternoon, she put a notebook into my schoolbag. When I got home, I opened it. She wrote, "I like your last English composition, in which your thoughts were very special. You have a gift for writing. Don't waste it." She also put a page of her own reading notes in the notebook. She wrote it when she was in high school. I read those words many times. That night, I finished my English homework carefully.

From then on, I carried the notebook with me. Every time I wanted to give up, I read her words. I started to do my homework on time. My English grade rose from below 70 to above 90. My other grades improved as well.

After high school, I got a good score on the college entrance exam and chose to study Education. After graduation, I became a middle school English teacher. I tried to be like Ms Hale. I prepared notebooks for my students who felt lost. I wrote down words of encouragement.

One of my students was a boy whose parents had divorced. He never did his homework. I wrote in his notebook, "You are smarter than you think." A week later, he started to do his homework.

I believe a teacher's genuine care can change a student's life. I know this is true, because that is how I was saved.

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Javin, a senior high school student, hurried to the downtown bank to deposit (存钱) his college registration fee. The tightly sealed (密封) envelope contained all his hard-earned part-time savings and his parents' modest earnings, which meant everything for his upcoming college admission. With the rain pouring down, he got on a crowded bus, grasping the envelope tightly in his pocket. The bus shook constantly with noisy passengers chatting and rushing.

Focused on avoiding the rain and counting the stops, Javin got off in a hurry when he reached his destination. It was not until he stood under the shelter and reached for the envelope that his heart sank deeply. The pocket was empty. Panic flooded his mind instantly. The money was gone. He tried to recall every detail, but could only remember pushing through the crew d during the rush to get off.

There was no personal information of him in the envelope. Even if someone picked it up and hoped to return it, they couldn't contact him. Desperate and anxious, Javin ignored the heavy rain and ran after the departing bus. Cold rain streamed down his face, clouding his sight. Fortunately, the bus stopped at a red light two blocks ahead. He rushed ahead and knocked hard on the bus door, begging the driver to open it. Hearing his voice, the warm-hearted driver let him on and listened patiently to his urgent explanation.

After hearing Javin's description, the driver pulled out a brown envelope from the console (中控台). "A girl named Elowen picked this up on the seat and left it here before she got off," the driver said gently. Relief washed over Javin, and he thanked the driver repeatedly, feeling grateful for the stranger's kindness. He reached out to take his envelope eagerly.

However, the moment Javin's fingers touched the envelope, his smile froze. The sealed edge of the envelope had been roughly torn open, not in the neat way he had sealed it.

At the entrance to the Red Army's western march memorial hall in Ningxia's Tongxin County stands a striking sculpture of a young bugler (号手), recalling a historic moment first (record) 90 years ago by American journalist Edgar Snow.

The image later appeared on cover of Snow's landmark book Red Star Over China, introduced the Chinese revolution of the 1930s to the world. This summer, nine decades after Snow photographed the young soldier, Snow's relative Samuel Maclean revisited the site. "I (true) felt the heavy and long history in this place," Maclean said.

Tongxin is a revolutionary heartland where China's first county-level Hui autonomous government (establish). It also became closely tied to the Red Army's activities in northwest China after the three main forces of the Red Army joined forces at the end of the Long March.

Early this week, Maclean joined representatives of the Edgar Snow Memorial Foundation and international scholars on a (significance) tour themed "Retracing Snow's Route", (visit) places tied to both Snow's original reporting and Tongxin's revolutionary past.

According to Sun Hua, director of the China Center for Edgar Snow Studies at Peking University, Snow arrived in Yuwangpu — now Yuwang Town in Tongxin — in August, 1936 stayed for nearly a month. During that time, Snow interviewed Red Army leaders, soldiers and local residents. His writings showed disciplined Red Army soldiers and documented (they) respect for the customs of the local Hui population. Tongxin, Sun added, was a key site where Snow documented the Red Army's western march and policies on ethnic (unite).

Lee Barber is a beloved teacher at Ramapo High School in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. After he fell down the stairs while caring for his daughter Kaiya, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), the1 math teacher got hurt seriously. But this2 couldn't keep him from3 in the classroom the very next day!

To thank him, the seniors got together and4 to do something nice for their hard-working teacher. They took up a5 and were quickly able to surprise him with family tickets to the New York Yankees' season opener! They're6 that their teacher's favorite team is the New York Yankees.

They captured the big7 in a heart-warming video and posted it online, which was how the Yankees found out about the wonderful8. That was when Aaron Boone, their manager,9 in a short video to invite Lee to another game.

"Thank you all guys!" the surprised teacher told his class10. "Watching them playing the game in person is my11!"

Best of all, the Yankees didn't12! Its first baseman Luke Voit posted a video on the team's website with a very special13 for the students. They were all invited to14 their teacher at the game, and no one could believe their ears when Voit15, "I'm excited to see you guys. Let's show our respect for your teacher together."

Solid mathematical knowledge is another essential foundation. Competent critical thinking is equally important for scientific work. Actively seek guidance from teachers or classmates. Commit to consistent practice. Otherwise, you may struggle later. Complicated scientific theories could become hard to grasp. Interpreting experimental data might also prove difficult.

Pressure is a constant friend. Researchers often bear heavy pressure to generate valuable findings. They must publish qualified papers. They also compete for limited research funding. Many projects stretch over years before yielding meaningful outcomes. During this time, difficulties and failures are common. Therefore, learning effective ways to manage stress is crucial.

Above all, genuine enthusiasm for your subject matters far more than casual interest. Patience is just as vital as intelligence. Celebrate small victories along the way, and learn from every failure. Surround yourself with supportive co-workers and advisors who share your passion. Remember that a scientific career is not a short race but a marathon. The journey itself, with all its ups and downs, shapes you into a better thinker and problem-solver.

A. There is a deep sense of satisfaction to be found.

B. Each field opens doors to unique professional routes.

C. You must accept that progress rarely comes overnight.

D. If you find yourself weak in these abilities, do not lose heart.

E. Working in science also means facing unavoidable challenges.

F. Those pursuing scientific work must consider several key points.

G. Networking with professionals in your chosen field brings potential chances.

The automakerdivulged a project it has been keeping under wraps: a silicon (硅) chip of its own design. The chip is a processor that powers the next version of Rivian's on-board computer. It is regarded as Autonomy Compute Module 3. Rivian presented data with amazing numbers. To show the scale, Rivian says this new-set-up will quadruple (四倍) the capabilities of the Nvidia-chip-centered system it's currently using.

Chip making generally requires multi-billion dollar facilities with cleanrooms and an incredibly complex process that results in tiny thin silicon pieces. That's not what Rivian is doing; the automaker designs the chip itself, and the housing is also done in-house by Rivian. Designing an in-house chip was just a dream a couple of years ago, but it's a massive advantage. "We're aware of the fact that we are a car company, not a full-time chip company," says Vidya Rajagopalan, Rivian's senior vice president of electrical hardware. Rivian works with ARM and uses the company's microprocessor while Rivian created the key processing unit, which is the neural (神经) engine. That's the most important part of the chip, Rajagopalan says, and that's where Rivian adds the most value.

"Building a chip is time-consuming and requires a world-class team," Rajagopalan says. "But the advantages are speed performance and cost. This means we're able to get to market sooner with a cutting-edge AI product and we can fine-tune our silicon for our use cases with room for models of the future. We don't carry the overhead with a design that was made for another purpose."

In other words, designing the chip allows Rivian to tailor the system along the way instead of receiving a universal chip and figuring out how to make it fit.

These tiny living organisms absorb and release liquid-state minerals into more solid rock-like forms. Microbialites are also some of the oldest evidence of life on Earth. A new study calculates how microbialites take carbon and turn it into fresh layers of calcium carbonate (碳酸钙岩层). These structures then use photosynthesis, the same way that plants use the sun to make food, and other chemical processes to absorb that carbon day and night.

"These ancient formations that the textbooks say are nearly extinct are alive," Dr Rachel Sipler, a study co-author, said. "We've found that these structures are made up of strong microbial communities capable of growing quickly under challenging conditions." Scientists have long struggled to understand how microbial communities like these interact with their environment. Part of the difficulty is that the data on these interactions comes from the remains of microbialites, some of which are billions of years old. Fortunately, living microbialites are still widely distributed in salty marine environments.

Surprisingly, Sipler and the team found that the amount of carbon absorbed during day and night was roughly the same. Since these microbial systems have long been thought to be driven by photosynthesis alone, the team was surprised to find that nighttime uptake rates are as high as during the day. After repeating their experiments several times, the team confirmed that the microbes are using metabolic (新陈代谢) processes other than photosynthesis to absorb all of that carbon in the absence of sunlight. This is similar to how microbes living in deep-sea openings are able to survive in total darkness.

Based on daily rates of carbon uptake, the team estimates that these microbialites can absorb an amount equal to about 9 to 16 kilograms of carbon dioxide every year per square meter. This carbon-absorbing rate makes these microbial systems one of the most efficient biological mechanisms storing carbon long-term observed in nature.

All working areas send collected information to a shared central data platform, where managers can watch over the whole operation at any time. Once a new order arrives, the system will first pass on relevant messages to the sorting zone, and the checked goods will be transported to the delivery zone step by step later. This smart system not only greatly cuts down labor costs but also makes the whole distribution process more orderly. It allows warehouses to handle more orders every day and effectively lowers the error rate caused by human work.

One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop, worried about   (be) late for school. There were many people waiting at the bus stop, some of them looked very anxious and (disappoint). When the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike (catch) my attention. He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms. I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver, but he refused (stop) until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept (ride). He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up to the door of the bus. I heard an exciting conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked, " anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?" A woman on the bus shouted, "Oh dear! It's (I). " She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully. Everyone on the bus began talking about what the boy had done, and the crowd of strangers (sudden) became friendly to one another.

While trying to3 my new surroundings, I also started tenth grade. Going to public school in a big city, however, was harder than before. I started4 not well in class. Although I tried hard, my mind would go5 the moment I took the exam. All my6 didn't pay off, and I failed. As a result, I became7 and turned to video games.

My English teacher noticed I was8. He suggested I should go to the after-school classes for the kids who needed help.9to get a passing grade, I went. And that was where I met Oliver.10, he became my best friend and I was back on11. Little by little, my12improved. It seemed that reshaping ourselves in a new environment wasn't that terrible as13.

As the year progressed, I made many friends and won many awards as well.14, I saw that my depression slowly15. Having a friend really helped, even more than video games.

Have you entered a new school? There are tons of different ways to connect with your classmates, as long as you're willing to take a leap of faith. We've put together some tips and suggestions to help you along the way.

·Use social media to your advantage.

Social media makes it easier to build connections with your schoolmates. A quick comment (评论), retweet (转发), or message can be enough to start a new friendship. Comment and let him know you love his technique. By putting yourself out there and being friendly, you,might make new friends.

·

That person might be in the same boat as you are. Instead of joining a crowded table or finding an empty area for yourself, look for someone sitting by themselves. This is an easy way to start a conversation with someone new. In the cafe, you might ask "Is this seat taken?" or "Can I sit with you?" before sitting down.

·Lend a hand.

You might help someone pick up his dropped textbooks and notebooks, or lend a pencil to a classmate in need. Being kind and considerate is a great way to separate yourself from the rest of the crowd. You might offer part of your lunch to someone who forgot their lunch money, or offer to deliver homework to a student who missed class.

·Make eye contact and smile.

You'll seem more approachable to your new classmates if you look friendly. When you walk in the halls, hold your head up high and make eye contact with a few other people. If they smile back at you, try saying hi so you can get to know them.

A. Approach someone sitting alone at lunch.

B. Helping a classmate could be a great opportunity for friendship.

C. Is he reading a good book, or wearing a fashionable T-shirt?

D. However, with a few tricks, you can learn to make more friends at school.

E. Someone at your school posted a video of a cool painting he is working on.

F. Being a new student can feel pretty stressful at first, but you have nothing to fear.

G. Even if you don't know the person, offer a kind smile to show that you're positive and friendly.

To test several models, researchers used plot summaries of 42, 306 movies from all over the world, many collected from Wikipedia. The models broke the summaries by sentence and used something called sentiment (情感) analysis to analyze each one. Sentences considered "positive", such as "Thor loves his hammer", would receive a rating closer to positive one. And sentences that were considered "negative", like "Thor gets in a fight" would be rated closer to negative one.

Generally, successful movies such as 1951's Alice in Wonderland — which scored 80% on the movie-rating website Rotten Tomatoes — have frequent waves in sentiment; unsuccessful ones, such as 2009's The Limits of Control, vary less. It's not important whether the films begin or end happily, the researchers say. What's important is that the sentiments change frequently.

The sentiment ratings in each summary were then simplified into a single score to reflect how often the sentiment changed. The researchers tested three different methods of arriving at a final score. All three could predict fairly accurately whether a movie would be unpopular, and one method worked especially well for guessing which thrillers and comedies reviewers would hate.

The methods were not as efficient at guessing which movies would succeed, but they still predicted the results more accurately than random chance. In the future, the researchers say their methods could be bettered to predict the amount a movie could earn at the box office and help producers decide which movies to invest in. The system's fair judgment might give an advantage to less well-known writers, the researchers add. It could also potentially save the public from having to sit through films like Jaws: The Revenge, which online critics and audience alike rate as terrible.
