Whenever my child caused me to change my schedule, I thought to myself "We don't have time for this. "
Therefore, the two words I most commonly spoke to my child were: "Hurry up. " But my promise to 1 was made almost three years ago, and I began my journey to grasp what 2 in life.
My younger daughter is my living reminder of why I must keep trying to slow down.
The two of us had taken a bike ride to the supermarket. After buying an ice cream for my daughter, she sat down at a table 3 looking at the ice cream she held in her hand. Suddenly a look of worry appeared upon her face. "Do I have to rush, Mama?"
I nearly cried. Perhaps the pains of a 4 life don't ever completely disappear, I thought sadly. As my child looked up at me waiting to know whether she could take her time, I knew I had a choice. I could sit there in sorrow thinking about the number of times when I told my child to rush through life 5 the fact that today I'm trying to do things differently. I chose to live in today.
"You don't have to rush," I said 6 . Her whole face immediately brightened and her shoulders relaxed. And so we sat side-by-side talking. There were even moments when we sat in 7 just smiling at each other.
When she got to the last bite, she held out the ice cream for me. "I 8 the last bite for you, Mama. "My daughter said proudly. I realized I just got the deal of a lifetime. I gave my child a little time.
9 , she gave me her last bite, also reminded me that things taste sweeter and love comes 10 when you stop rushing through life.

When thinking of the Arctic（北冰洋 ）, some people may imagine an icy land of white snow. And other people may imagine it as the last really clean place left on Earth. In fact, we have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish, and now, CNN says, "It's the Arctic's turn. "
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter（升）of snow. That may cause terrible air pollution.
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to scientists, "It's clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air. They fall off plastic objects and are moved by the wind. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. "
Are they bad for us? We do know that our bodies cannot take in "large" pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What's more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, damaging ecosystems along the way. When we wash clothes with plastic fibers, they start in our wastewater. The wastewater then flows into rivers and out to sea. They are eaten by sea animals there. If people then eat these animals, it means that we're eating the plastic as well.

Do you know oilpaper umbrellas? They have a of over 1, 000 years in China. Liu Weixue is a master at making oilpaper umbrellas.
In 2015, Liu gave up a well-paid job as a designer (设计师). He decided to learn the art of making Yuhang oilpaper umbrellas from his grandfather. "I want to bring the art to life," Liu said. "When it rains, someone the umbrella—that's what I want to see. "
Liu has improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the paper used in ancient times was broken, he started to use thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1, 000 without breaking. He used a bamboo than before to make the umbrellas weigh less.
In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell umbrellas. Now shop has more than 80, 000 followers. Liu has thought about how to sell more umbrellas. What he cares is how to make
high-quality (高质量的) oilpaper umbrellas. His workshop makes only 1, 000 umbrellas each year.
Liu hopes the art of making oilpaper umbrellas can be passed on. He often goes to some local schools to students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广) the art.
Recently, a study published (发表) in BMC Medicine, found that sitting in front of the TV for a long time was a risk for people's health.
After scientists used data ( 数据) on 370,000 people, covering 12 years, they found about 9,000 developed
heart disease. They found people with genes (基因) of heart problems were more likely to develop heart disease. However, they found that people without such genes watching more than four hours of TV every day were also at the greatest risk of heart disease. People spending 2 to 3 hours a day watching TV had a 6% lower risk. And those who watched less than an hour had a 16% lower risk. The scientists of the research team finally found cutting TV watching time to less than an hour a day could prevent 10% of heart disease.
In life, people who want to watch more TV programs might be the group at a higher risk, for they are easy to spend more time watching TV. If they have more snacks while watching TV, it might add the risk of putting their hearts in danger. So, if people want to watch TV longer, standing up and moving the body, or hanging out will work. But limiting their time on TV could be a more useful way to help them avoid possible heart problems in the future.
