When I was 6, my elder brother brought me to the local BMX (自行车越野) track to ride in a kids' race for the first time. The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and steep that I backed off. My parents took me back for another try the next week. I fell almost immediately but still managed to win the second place. I've loved racing ever since.
I turned pro at 15, which isn't possible now: You have to be 17 to compete professionally. Around the time I went pro, BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it after high school. I'm the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States.
BMX isn't judged on tricks or how you handle barriers, but it's an extreme sport. It's like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster. It starts with a huge burst of speed - I go 40 mph by the time I'm two and a half seconds out of the gate. Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40-foot jumps. I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness, big jumps, and that feeling of crossing the finish line first.
Strength and balance are key in competition, so I work out at least five days a week to prepare. I do tons of resistance and agility (灵活) training, both on and off the bike. I also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I'm focused and confident going into competition. If I make a mistake on the course, I have to move on. Everyone is out to beat me; I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can't capitalize on an error and pass me!
I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of gold, so that will push me to do better. I'm continually working to reach my potential in the sport. Until I feel completely satisfied, I'll keep coming back.
On the evening of April 8, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟). Using Huawei's newly-released Hetu AI platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang, director of the Dunhuang Academy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei's latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals (壁画) outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.
The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang's study findings, high-resolution images of the site's murals and virtual, three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.
There's a battle storming in the streets of America. Anyone who regularly rides a bicycle knows all about this. Some motorists shout at two-wheeled travelers, who slow traffic. A few will do even worse.
The New York Times reports that incidents of aggression toward bicycle riders appear to be growing. Even though actually every state allows bicyclists the same right as motorists to use the streets, many drivers still refuse to accept this. They view themselves as Kings of the Road - an impression that has been strongly built by the transportation planning profession, which has designed our cities as if people didn't exist outside of their cars.
But a big new idea to settle this conflict and improve life in the streets for everyone is now taking root among community activists, urban planners and traffic engineers.
"Too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars, They're unsafe for people on foot or bike. Now, in communities across the country, a movement is growing to complete the streets. States, cities and towns are asking their planners, engineers and designers to build road networks that welcome all citizens, " declares the website of a new organization promoting this idea, "Complete the Streets",the best idea to hit our communities since pizza, or even the bicycle itself.
My home of Minneapolis is one of the biking capitals of America. But it hasn't always been that way. When I moved here many years ago, I was shocked at the strong hostility directed toward me whenever I dared ride my bike down the street. Drivers would suddenly turn in my direction, and then laugh as they nearly knocked me onto the ground.
As the number of bikes on Minneapolis streets has grown, people have become much more comfortable sharing the road with two-wheelers. Indeed, I get the impression that most motorists now envy rather than hate me, and can't wait to get home where they can jump on their own bikes. This will happen everywhere as more and more Americans discover biking as a great way to get around, save money, lose weight, protect the planet and have fun.
Natural Therapy (疗法) The great outdoors: it's the place to head for when you're in need of peace and quiet, open spaces, beautiful scenery and exercise. Whether a huge mountain range or a local country park, these natural areas are perfect for us to refresh us when we live a stressful life. .
As an example, in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park in the UK,specialist therapy sessions are held to help people who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. . However, it's believed that the setting alone can improve the mood of patients. Art psychotherapist Pamela Stanley told the BBC that there was a "growing body of evidence" to support eco-therapy.
It's true that for most of us connecting with the natural world definitely lifts our spirits. But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a formal type of treatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor. It doesn't involve taking medication . This natural treatment can take on many forms, including doing yoga in a forest, gardening or even hugging a tree.
Evidence has shown there are many benefits of this "green" therapy. . It's what Dr. Rachel Bragg from the University of Essex calls "psychological restoration". She told the BBC's All in the Mind programme that nature-based therapies should be part of a "toolkit" of care for patients.
. However, it is an option for therapists to use. And as we become more aware of the causes and effects of mental health, it's good to know that help might lie outside our towns and cities, and that nature can give us a helping hand.
A. Of course, eco-therapy won't cure everything.
B. Here the patients go outdoors to deal with stress.
C. Outdoor art-related activities are held for participants.
D. Instead, it just develops a person's relationship with nature.
E. These include improving social contact, social and work skill.
F. In nature you can do many things, including reading papers and watching TV.
G. Their relieving power is being used more and more to treat mental health problems.

An Activity to Advocate Garbage Sorting
Maria was practicing with her soccer mates in a tiny school yard. They were all from River Edge Rockers, a soccer team of their community. Suddenly, the ball flew into a deep hole at the edge of the yard. It was the third time that they had lost their ball this month. Without the ball Maria had to wave goodbye to her mates and went home, depressed. "If only there were a regulation soccer field!" she thought.
That evening, seeing her in low spirits, her father asked, "What was the matter, dear?"
"I was just thinking about playing in a brand new soccer field!" Maria answered.
Her father smiled and said, "Tomorrow, a Town Council meeting is to be held to discuss about the use of that vacant lot next to the pet store, Home for Pets. Why not take this opportunity to convince them we need a better field?"
The next day, with the company of her father, Maria and her teammates went to the meeting hall. On their arrival they saw Councilwoman Jill and some citizens already there. They took their seats. After Jill announced the start of the discussion, Maria stood up and spoke first. "Up till now there is no soccer field in our community, which certainly affects our physical health. Our team currently have to practice in a tiny school yard, and only when it's not already booked. "
Mrs. Lorries, owner of the pet store, commented, "I couldn't agree more. Kids do need such a field." The Rockers applauded excitedly and the other citizens all agreed it would be a way out.
"A soccer field would be a good use for that lot with overgrown weeds and some large rocks, but to build such one would need a small sum of money and maybe you even need to do all the work on your own. " Councilwoman Jill smiled, "Can you manage it?"
Thinking for a while, Maria nodded with a determined look on her face, "The Rockers can do it! We will turn it into a soccer field. " The teammates all cheered.
