The British poet Matthew Byrne moved to Beijing in 2013 and felt that the capital city's poetry scene was lacking. His obsession(痴迷)for starting poetry events led to the foundation of the Spittoon Collective in May 2015." At that time, the literary activity in Beijing was The Bookworm based in Sanlitun," Byrne says.
While some of Beijing's literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019, Spittoon would continue to grow as a community for poets and writers, as well as musicians and others in the creative scene.
Byrne describes the Spittoon Collective as a platform for people to share ideas, from literary works to different forms of art, with projects developing from the creative energy within the community.
Spittoon originally started as a poetry night at the Mado Bar in Dongcheng District's Baochao Hutong. Byrne says," In Beijing, you have these wonderful hutongs, ancient structures where you can walk down and visit cool bars, so I thought it would be good to have a poetry event as it seemed like poetry belonged naturally to this area."
He adds," The objective now is to discover Chinese voices and broadcast them to the rest of the world. We create a kind of theme park-like atmosphere where every Thursday is occupied by a different literary style or art form."
The readings would mainly be in English, but with an international community, a new section called" Poetry-in-Translation" was started, which featured works in Chinese, French, Arabic, Russian, Spanish and other languages.
Joining organized activities like Spittoon can be a major help for those caught up in a boring life. And it's especially important for the people who have moved to China as they need to build new relationships while living in a different country.
I've long believed that positive living _isn't about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can't be the goal, because it's impossible to achieve.
It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.
Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.
However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons(变色龙)whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.
I've learned a new word that I'd like to share with you: eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism(享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain, Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.
Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word" daimon," which means" true nature." To me, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.
Every racehorse has different abilities. Like humans, some are short-distance runners, while others are marathoners. Figuring out which is which and how to pace them can be the difference between failure in the finish and taking the award home. Jockeys(赛马骑师)and trainers have traditionally relied on centuries of experience and data from previous races to plan their races.
Amandine Aftalion, a mathematician in Paris, thought she could add to that. Since 2013, she has been analyzing the performances of world champion runners like Usain Bolt. She has found that short-distance runners tend to win when they start strong and gradually slow down toward the finish line. But in medium-distance races, runners perform better when they start strong, settle down, and finish with a burst of speed.
Her model shows how those winning strategies maximize the energy output of muscles reliant on two different pathways: powerful aerobic(有氧的)ones that require oxygen, which can be in limited supply during a race, and anaerobic ones, which don't need oxygen but buildup waste products that lead to tiredness.
Aftalion wondered which strategy would be best for horses. So she and Quentin Mercier, another mathematician, took advantage of a new GPS tracking tool inserted in French racing saddles (马鞍).
The two studied patterns in many races at the Chantilly racetracks north of Paris and developed a model that accounted for winning strategies for three different races: a short one(1, 300 meters), a medium one (1, 900 meters), and a slightly longer one (2, 100 meters), all with different starting points on the same track. The model takes into account not just different race distances, but also the size or friction from the track surface.
The results might surprise jockeys who hold horses back early for bursts of energy in the last finish Instead, a strong start leads to a better finish, the team found." That doesn't mean those jockeys are wrong, though. If the start is too strong, it can be devastating as well, leaving the horse tired by the end," Aftalion says.
Many parents have had challenging conversations with their children. There's one more to add to the list--climate change. But the most important thing parents can give them is hope: there are solutions, and everyone has something to contribute no matter what their ages are. Here are tips that will help parents have a positive climate conversation with their children.
Start by listening. They first learn about climate change in the school, online or from their friends. By taking time to understand how children feel about climate change, parents can help them figure out how they can be part of the solution.
Being a parent is tough and the to-do list never seems to end. The good news is talking about climate change doesn't have to be complicated. There are many websites parents can turn to for help. , Continuing to learn more about climate change can prepare parents themselves to answer kids' questions.
Connect with nature. Encouraging kids to play outside helps them appreciate the outdoors. A study conducted a few years ago found that kids who play outdoors are more likely to be interested in protecting nature. Research suggests that kids who interact with nature are more likely to be in good health.
Encourage kids to act. Most kids know that climate change is happening, but they might not know what they can do to fix it. Often, what holds them back from acting is a lack of efficacy (效力): they are not convinced that they can make a difference. So build children's efficacy by looking for examples of people, especially kids who are making a difference.
A. Keep learning.
B. It isn't only about the future.
C. Improve their learning efficiency.
D. Climate change is real and the threat of it is serious.
E. Tell them that kids' actions are already incredibly effective.
F. Many children are already aware that the climate is changing.
G. Parents should know what children have learned in the school.

The Unforgettable Voluntary Labour |
I had moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school, so not only was this a new school for me, but also a new state and I did not know anyone.
On the first day of school at lunch after getting my meal, I sat down at a table in the courtyard. As I began to eat, I looked around at the other tables and saw another girl sitting alone, so I decided to go and sit with her. Anyway, there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and who knew maybe I could make a friend. I walked to check and said," Excuse me, do you mind if I sit with you?" She was surprised at first, but then smiled and said," No, I don't!"
We hit it off immediately and became close friends throughout the next two years. To-wards the end of our senior year, she told me that she had been accepted to an out-of-state college and would be moving away after graduation I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.
She then shared with me something very moving." Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch?" she asked." Of course! Why do you ask?" I replied.
She continued," I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference. I was severely depressed that day, because something unhappy had happened to me that morning. I had been being sad since the morning and nobody realized my sadness. It had just broken me down. If you hadn't appeared, I would be probably in deep sadness for a long time after I got home from school."
