In the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, some young athletes have made names for themselves. AFP Sport picks out four talents who seem to set to shine brightly in the future.
Gu Ailing
Gu, 18, began competing for China in 2019, and was already well-known before the Games.
However, her three medals in freestyle skiing-gold in both Big Air and half pipe, and a silver in peristyle-inspired her to an even wider international audience.
Hoping to inspire the next generation onto the snow, the teenager drew all the attention with her trademark eloquence（口才）, "I'm proud to have done my best to spread a positive and personal message, and to have reached audiences willing to listen to me. "
Nathan Chen
The 22-year-old American Nathan Chen was all grace and calmness as he produced a dominant performance to win his first Olympic title in figure skating.
An Olympic gold had been the only major prize eluding（避开）the three-time world champion. Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu, meanwhile, fell twice and ended in fourth in what could be his last Games.
Juraj Slafkovsky
Juraj Slafkovsky finished the Olympic men's ice hockey tournament as the leading goal scorer with seven as Slovakia won a bronze medal. Slafkovsky is the youngest player to ever represent Slovakia in Olympic hockey and was going up against some old athletes twice his age.
Zoi Sadowski Synnott
The 20-year-old snowboarder made history for New Zealand after winning the country's first ever Winter Olympics gold medal.
She came from behind to win the women's slopestyle with an incredible final run, before being gathered in the snow by her rivals（对手）in celebration at the finish.
A family in Maryland wants to publicly thank a stranger for going above and beyond-just in time to bring a Happy New Year.
"What a great human！"That's how Laura Degnon began her email to GNN, hoping we would share the story of a good man touching their lives.
Her son, Jake, realized on Friday that he had lost his wallet Thursday night. It snowed a couple inches in Rockville overnight which made it challenging for them to find anything outside around his car, or at the last store where he stopped to buy a snack. "We shoveled（铲）so many places looking for it, "she recalled. They were very motivated, too, as his wallet was unusually full of"quite a bit of Christmas money, college money, and of course his school ID, license and credit card". But they couldn't find it anywhere.
Laura was up early on Saturday saying goodbye as Jake headed back to the University of South Carolina, and started cleaning up around the house, when the doorbell rang about8：00a. m.
"Much to my surprise, a wonderful man by the name of Juan was standing there asking if Jake lived here. I started to cry right away, and asked if he found his wallet, by chance. "
Juan had been up early, going to work on a Saturday morning, when he found Jake's wallet in the parking lot of the store where he bought the snack-and he drove to their house to return it. Everything was intact, with nothing missing. "What a great human! Juan made my son's day, and mine, more than he will ever know! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. "
First, all participants found it quite easy to link colors and emotions. This was particularly true for colors like red, black, or yellow. Other colors, like brown and purple, received fewer associations. We found that colour-emotion associations were not one-to-one, but many-to-many.
Participants did not select one emotion for a colour, but often chose several emotions. In turn, different colors were linked to the same emotion, like pleasure, which was associated with red but also yellow, orange, pink, and purple.
What you can also see is that most colors were associated with positive emotions. Only brown, Grey, and black-that is, darker colors-were associated with negative emotions. Red was the most controversial colour. For some, it was a very positive colour-the colour of passion, love, and desire. For others, it was a negative colour-the colour of danger, anger, and hate. For even others, it was both positive and negative. What connects all these emotions and ideas is the fact that red is activating and strong.
Second, we found few cultural differences. In other words, many colour-emotion associations seemed universal. Most participants agreed that pink was associated with love and pleasure, yellow with joy and amusement, or that black was the saddest colour.
Third, if you are interested in cultural differences, we found some specialties too. For example, in addition to the universal associations of love and anger with red, Chinese participants also associated joy and amusement, while Nigerian participants additionally associated fear with red. Another example is the association between purple and sadness that only Greek participants chose. For others, purple was generally a positive colour with very little agreement on the exact emotions associated with purple.
Fourth, participants whose languages were more similar to each other also had more similar associations. To arrive at this finding, we estimated the degree of linguistic（语言的）similarity between two languages, which shows how related or unrelated they are. And then, languages from different language families, like English and Chinese, would have the lowest similarity scores.
The 20th-century philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer considered the encounter between the viewer and a work of art to be a dynamic relationship. Meeting a work of art made in the past involves a reaction, an actual event, in the present. Coming across the same work of art later will set up another event, another reaction, in which the artwork will be, as it were, activated afresh by the intellect and emotions of the viewer. When we interpret a work of art, we are teasing out（梳理）its possible meanings in the moment；but those meanings will change, depending on the viewer and the time.
Extend this thought into the world of the museum and it becomes clear that these institutions are not simply about the past. They are, necessarily, about the present. Paintings and sculptures of all kinds become meaningful in the"now"of their being viewed and considered. They shape us as we dig out new depths from them.
In a more purely functional manner, museums are increasingly embracing their capacity to be actors in the present worlds of their communities-rather than simply repositories（存储库）of things of the past, and gatherers and protectors of collective memories.
An example is Derby's Museum of Making, which both respects the city's history of manufacturing and aims to develop skills and inspire new acts of creativity. That in itself is nothing new, of course:part of the purpose of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London was to encourage innovation in design and manufacturing. But the Museum of Making takes things a step further-hosting, for example, sessions for teachers and educators on creating environments conducive to creativity, and"maker challenges"for teenagers. In so doing, it bridges the gap between museum and educational institution.
It is a welcome change. Museums, often in the teeth of terrible loss of income thanks to COVID-19 closures, are increasingly becoming ethical actors, as heavily invested in conversations about the kind of places communities want to be as what they once were. It should go without saying that they need to be properly supported to do this, by the government and local authorities. As the effects of COVID-19 continue to bite, the work of reimagining museums and communities is more important than ever.
The holiday season can bring much joy, but it can be a challenging time for keeping your health and fitness. Between the added pressure of social events and opportunities to overeat, it's all too easy for you to throw in the towel, resolving to get back on track in the new year.
Keep a healthy mindset.
This time of year is meant to be enjoyed, but too many of us lose sight of that and spend a lot of time beating ourselves up for celebrating. Enjoying seasonal treats is OK, so let go of those feelings of guilt. You know those cookies Mum baked with love？No need to deny yourself. You can eat one or two without eating a dozen. Remember, you are happily-not guiltily-making decisions.
Stay satiated（吃饱）.
Stay satiated so you don't arrive hungry at holiday events. If you've ever tried to grocery shop when you were hungry and ended up with lots of unhealthy snacks in your cart, you know why this is sound advice. If possible, eat a healthy meal before heading to a party.
Keep stress in check.
Whether it's the effects of shorter, darker days and increased schedule demands or family-related anxiety, the holidays can have a bad influence. Added stress can result in poor decision-making, stress eating and physical tension. Carve out a few minutes a day away for gratitude. As little as five minutes of this mindfulness practice each day can lower stress.
Get enough sleep.
Too often during the holidays, we spread ourselves thin keeping up with work and daily life responsibilities while also meeting the season's demands. It's important that you give your body and mind the time and rest needed to recover each night. To adequately process those holiday meals and avoid picking up a seasonal sickness, you need to prioritize rest.
A. Remind yourself that you have control.
B. Chances are that there are limited healthy options there.
C. That's why it's important to practise self-care.
D. There are many competitive people around you.
E. Having a healthy mindset builds a positive body image.
F. Not getting enough sleep can lead to weight gain and illness.
G. With these tips, you can enjoy the season without harming your well-being.

My parents 14send Auntie Zeny a sum of money. For years I thought it was simply a way to 15 her for all those hours she spent cooking and cleaning.

Indeed, the most valuable19 Auntie Zeny taught me was the one she taught by example: To 20that great things are done in small acts.
There is a saying that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. But what if you are in town on the French Riviera and life gives you extraordinarily delicious lemons？You sell them at high prices, of course！Then you have a big festival. Well, that's the city of Menton does anyway.

We took a bus to Mount Jiuhua in a fine day. As the bus was passing by the mountain, I saw a sea of green tree. Finally, the bus arrived at the cable station, where we got on the cable car. Then we come to the foot of Ten King Peak, the highest part of Mount Jiuhua. Their guide kept reminding us to be careful as we could while we were climbing. Stopped to take my breath, I saw many candle-like stones or pine trees. At last, we got to the top where the squirrels were jumping excited in their welcome. Steam was risen up from the mountain below. When I looked down, everything was in the sight beneath me.
