At the graduate program's annual workshop（研讨会）, presentation after presentation highlighted students' successes, But Michelle, Emily, and two other PhD students were taking a different approach, sharing their most painful failures. The audience of PhD students sat in silence, apparently shocked. However, they weren't ashamed, but proud to share their full selves and build a foundation for authentic relationships.
Setbacks（挫折） are an unavoidable part of graduate school, but often we try to hide them. By sharing our whole selves, including our failures, we go on to build a deep, meaning-ful relationship.
Michelle and Emily wanted others to experience that openness and support, too. So they made a change to the workshop by presenting their stories onstage, and invited the audience members to turn to one another and share their own significant failures. An awkward silence followed, but it only lasted a few seconds. Soon the students jumped into enthusiastic conversation,
From that point forward, every presentation at the workshop included some mention of the failures that led to the results. The students shared that their most significant data slides took more than a year to get right. It reminded the audience that behind every impressive re-sult is a person who is just trying his or her best.
Since the workshop, Michelle and Emily have noticed a continuous change in their classmates. Besides feeling closer to their classmates, the students are asking one another for help not only on technical challenges, but also about how to handle the personal challenges.
It's hard to relate to someone when all we know about them is their accomplishments. We should talk about failure and normalize it. To lead by example, Emily said that she hadn't won an NSF fellowship. It was a disappointment, but she was proud to share it.
The global movement to get rid of plastic has led to concern about single-use plastic tea bags, with many people now considering them wasteful and potentially dangerous. New re-search by a team at McGill University found that a tea bag soaked（浸泡）in 95 ℃ water re-leased 11. 6 billion units of microplastics and 3.1 billion smaller nanoplastic particles（微粒）. The researchers are suggesting that dipping into boiling water makes the tea bags release high-er numbers of plastic particles or poisonous substances.
This quantity of microplastics is larger than the amount consumed by a person in an entire year, so the question remains whether the consumption of microplastics is harmful to the hu man body. Worryingly, when exposed to these levels of microplastics, water fleas（水蚤）were noted to show body and behavior abnormalities. For a nation that consumes up to 60. 2 billion cups of tea a year, this has caused concern, While there is no evidence that these micro-plastics affect human health, the UN has said more research is needed to fully understand the effect microplastics have on the body.
It is not only plastic tea bags that contain chemicals. 96 per cent of paper tea bags sold in the UK contain polypropylene—a chemical used to close the openings, This chemical can make up 25 per cent of the bag.
Some brands such as the Co-op and PG Tips had already adopted 100 per cent compostable（可堆肥的）tea bags due to public pressure. While Lidl is exploring the alternative for biological tea bags, Yorkshire Tea is aiming to switch to plant-based materials by the end of the year. The most eco-friendly tea, however, remains loose leaf in a pot or cup.
A new species of pygmy seahorse（豆丁海马）has been discovered off the coast of South Africa in Sodwana Bay, attracting scientists with its tiny size—only 2.7 centimeters.
An international research team studied the tiny pygmy seahorse in 2019, after it was spotted by chance by diving instructor Savannah Nalu Olivier who was exploring algae（海藻）on the seafloor of the bay, But it wasn't easy to see it at all, according to a press release from the University of Leeds in Australia. That's because these sea creatures are camouflaged by their stony golden-brown look.
This is the first time that a pygmy seahorse has ever been discovered in the Indian Ocean In fact, the closest known pygmy seahorse species live 8, 000 kilometers away in a region of the Pacific Ocean called Coral Triangle. Until now, all but one of the seven pygmy seahorse species have been found in the triangle, making this discovery particularly puzzling.
The study was led by Graham Short from the California Academy of Sciences. It discovers a number of detailed features that differentiate this species from other seahorses. While larger seahorses have gills（鳃）on each side of their head, the Sodwana Bay pygmy seahorse has only one gills slit on its back. "That would be like having a nose on the back of your neck, "Short said in an interview. The tiny seahorse also has a set of sharp spines（刺毛）on its back while other pygmy seahorses have flat-tipped spines. The researchers haven't figured out what they are used for yet.
The tiny pygmy seahorse reminds us that when we open our eyes, the natural world be-comes an endless mystery. Unknown species and even entire ecosystems are awaiting to be discovered in places we never thought possible.
True beauty is not found in looks. Changing the way you think about beauty will give you life-long confidence.
Place your beauty in your identity but not your identity in your beauty. If you hold onto youthful beauty as a narrow definition of yourself, you won't enjoy your looks as you age.
Mirrors tell us only a part of what we show to the outer world. Go past your reflection and see the real self!
The fountain of youth doesn't exist. Despite many anti-aging products, there is no magic solution to stopping the effects of aging. You should stop devaluing（贬低）yourself just be-cause you are getting older. Aim for a healthy life and keep yourself strong and fit. Eat healthy diet and be committed to a daily exercise routine. Lots of efforts are needed.
Beauty relates to physical and psychological aspects. However, Serena Williams never hides her unusual muscular physique. Instead, her showing her muscles enhances her appeal. Many fans think she is beautiful. This proves that looking beautiful and attractive goes beyond our looks.
Beauty matters to all women, but to those who age beautifully, it matters neither too much nor too little. Do enjoy our lives to the fullest. True beauty is about accepting your-self. It is also about feeling good about yourself.
A. Everyone does it.
B. It comes from the inside.
C. Go beyond your mirror image.
D. You will feel better over a long term.
E. It's human nature to believe beauty is everything.
F. People generally think beauty is only a skin-deep issue.
G. Be less scared of aging and you will look more beautiful.
When we were growing up, our mother, a single parent of seven kids, always took on two jobs, so it fell to Nina, the oldest, to take care of us. Because of Nina, pop music was an 1part of our home, and growing up with the music of the 1960s was an added 2. One of her favorite 3during the 1960s was 96 Tears.

I think music was 6to her because it kept her grounded and reminded her that she was stI'll a 7, even though she had so much responsibility. I remember the music always became the 8. We would wake up 9the morning show as we got ready for school, and then into the night. The 10was always on.

I don't ever remember her complaining, but 14remember the music and the sisterly friendship.
Recalling my childhood, I think things could have been 15for a house full of kids ranging in age from 3 to 15 years, but somehow, I remember it as a relative happy time, thanks to Nina's 16ability. Now, that song reminds me of my 17sister, as well as the sacrifices she made for me, and the 18childhood I experienced because of her. 19that song makes my eyes water, but sI'll a 20touches the corners of my mouth.

Today, many students had their own hobbies. Some of them like singing, while others are crazy about take photos. I think it's meaningfully for students to have their hobbies, because the hobbies can benefit me a lot. First of all, after a long period of study, the hobbies can make them to feel relaxed. Beside, when they feel depressed, the hobbies can bring them happy. However, some students are such addicted to their hobbies that they spend less times on study. I think it's wrong. In my. opinion, the students are supposed to keep balance between their study and hobbies.
