Watching his father die without oxygen support while suffering from a heart attack in 2020, Taher Mahmud Tarif, a Bangladeahi boy, made up his mind to build a device to prevent any more such tragic deaths. Afterwards, many COVID-19 patients experienced low oxygen levels in their blood, with demand for oxygen concentrators (浓缩器) among other medical equipment shooting up during the recent sharp rise in cases. Tarif said the situation gave him more driving force to build the device.
With the financial and overall support of Ishwardi UNO office and his educational institution, Tarif's determination and tireless efforts were rewarded with success as the ninth grader of Ishwardi Sara Marwari High School managed to make the concentrator after trying five times for about seven months, mainly using domestic components. He said that a locally made oxygen eoncentrator like his costs approximately $ 760 whereas an imported one does over $2,600.
In June, Tarif gave a detailed account of his invention and manufacture at the UNO office in Ishwardi at 11:00 am on Tuesday. He said it was created from his own thinking and with the addition of local technology generators and electric components. An oxygen concentrator takes in air and removes nitrogen (氮气) from it, leaving oxygen-enriched gas for use by people needing medical oxygen. "About 90 percent oxygen concentration can be generated from my oxygen concentrator machine. This machine can provide high-flow oxygen supply too. It can be very handy in local areas with no scope of getting oxygen support,"Tarif added.
"This is obviously a good invention for oxygen generation. It is capable of producing high-flow oxygen so it can be used for patients or refilling oxygen bottles," said an assistant professor of Pabna Medical College Hospital. "Despite more lab and other examinations before using the machine as medical equipment," the UNO said, "Tarif's invention will probably be a great achievement during this alarming COVID-19 situation."
Flowing through winding streets of London were smells, so common during the Great Plague (瘟疫) of the 17th century that they almost meant the plague itself, historians said. For hundreds of years, people believed that disease was spread not through tiny drops or insect bites, but through taking in unpleasant smells. To purify the air around them, they would burn rosemary and hot tar.
Now, as the world faces another widespread outbreak, a team of historians and scientists from six European countries is seeking to identify and categorize the most common smells of daily life across Europe from the 16th century to the early 20th century and to study what changes in smells over time reveal about society.
The project will search through more than 250,000 images and thousands of texts, including medical textbooks, novels and magazines in seven languages. Researchers will use machine learning and AI to analyze references to smells. Once they are cataloged, researchers, working with chemists and perfumers, will re-create roughly 120 smells with the hope that museums will incorporate some of them into exhibits to make visits more immersive (沉浸式的) or memorable to museum-goers. The use of smells in exhibits could also make museums more accessible for blind people and those with limited sight, historians said.
"With smell, you can open up questions about national culture, global culture and differences between communities," said Dr. Inger Leemans, a professor of cultural history at Vrije University Amsterdam. He said that introducing smells into museums or classrooms leads people to open up in discussions in ways they do not always do when discussing other issiues of national identity. "It is such an open topic and what we want to do is think about how we can bring history to the nose."
Food made from atmospheric carbon could feed the world while helping to fight climate change, according to Solar Foods, a Finnish company founded in 2017."We can collect CO2 anywhere," said its CEO Pasi Vainika, whose company has developed a protein powder made using CO2. "That's a strategic shift where raw materials are in the air." The protein powder, called Solein, can be turned into meat and dairy substitutes or added tofoods and shakes.
Solar Foods uses special units to pull CO2 from the atmosphere. To turn it into protein,microbes (微物),similar to those in the production of wine and yogurt, will be fed on it to grow and reproduce. During the process, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. Along with a growth medium containing necessary minerals, the three gases are pumped in to feed the microbes. Harvested and dried, that remaining mixture becomes Solein—a yellow powder made up of single-cell protein, with a nutrient composition similar to wheat flour.
Solar Foods claims that Solein removes most of the emissions associated with modern agriculture, which is responsible for almost one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions. "One kilogram of Solein sends out 0.2 kilogram of CO2e(二氧化碳当量).In comparison.beef herds produce around 100 kilograms and chicken 10 kilograms," said Vainikka. " We can rermove the climate impact of modem food systems on the planet, which today account for about 30 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions." He further stressed that while the company's factories also require some land used for industrial farming, only about one-tenth of the land is needed compared to photosynthesis (光合作用). "We could free up agricultural land to grow back forests," he added, "and those remove carbon permanently from the atmosphere."
Probably optimists are now contenting themselves with the pleasant scene of masses of trees absorbing CO2: on the planet. However, while that may sound great, Vainikka put it right, "It can happen only if we produce enough Solein from CO, to replace meat and dairy at a large scale."And that still remains a long way to go.
How to Think Like a Wise Person
Wisdom is the ability to make sound judgments and choices. . So, what does it take to distinguish wise people from the rest of the pack? Here are several insights.
The people with the highest wisdom scores are just as likely to be 30 as 60. It indicates that the number of life experiences has little to do with the quality of those experiences. Wisdom emerges not from experience itself, but rather from reflecting thoughtfully on the lessons gained from experience. Developing wisdom is a deliberate choice that people can make regardless of age.
Balance self-interest and the common good
One quality of wisdom is the ability to look beyond personal desires. This doesn't mean wise people are self-sacrificing. In fact, well-being and success both suffer if we're too focused on others or on ourselves. Wise people reject the assumption that the world is a win-lose, zero-sum place. .
Aim to understand, rather than judge
More often than not, many of us judge others' actions so that we can sort them into categories of good and bad. . Over time, this emphasis on understanding rather than evaluating brings an advantage in predicting others' actions, enabling wise people to make better decisions.
Focus on purpose over pleasure
It turns out that wise people don't experience more positive emotions, perhaps because wisdom requires critical self-reflection and a long-term view. . From time to time, what makes us happy will weigh less than our quest for meaning and significance.
A. Choose your wisdom deliberately
B. It's a virtue desired by nearly everyone
C. Start developing your wisdom right now
D. It seems like an extremely tough problem
E. They find ways to benefit others that also advance their own objectives
F. However, there's a clear psychological benefit: a stronger sense of purpose in life
G. Wise people resist this, operating more like detectives to explain others' behaviors
When I was in school, I participated in an undergraduate internship(本科实习) in a hospital. There I was largely1for visiting specific hospital patients.
On one particular2, I entered a darkened room to find an elderly man lying in the bed. I 3thought he was sleeping, but when I moved closer to the bed, I realized that he was awake. He 4wanted to communicate something, but I couldn't 5what he was saying. He obviously didn't want me to leave, but I felt so 6and uncomfortable that I left the room after several minutes.
The next time I was at the hospital, I was 7to make follow-up visits with the same list of patients. I expected my time with that old man to be just as 8as the last time……if he was still live.
As I arrived at the room, I noticed he was sitting up in the bed and much better. I introduced myself and explained that I had come by before, 9I was certain he didn't remember me at all.
He 10me immediately, saying, "I remember you. You were the angel that gave me 11in my darkest hour!" I would have thought his memory was delirious(精神错乱的), but he then accurately 12enough details of our first meeting to remove any 13of his clarity. I was so amazed that, once again, I didn't know how to 14. I did absolutely nothing to help this man... 15showing up. I may never be able to explain it but somehow he found in me something he needed at a (n) 16 point in his life, just because I was there.
I have thought about this 17often over the past 25 years. I has 18the way I see life, the way I see myself, and the way I see others. It makes me want to offer whatever 19can to others. Obviously, we can't know the impact our actions, or even just our 20, will have on life.
At 8,844.43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is (tall) mountain on Earth. While is famous for its challenging hike, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: garbage. Every year, thousands of (visit) throw away tons of trash, including soda cans (罐) and plastic bags.
According to the UN, over 140 tons of trash have been left on the mountain. To reduce trash, China is limiting the number of people can climb the mountain's north side. Only 300 people will (allow) to climb it each year, and only during spring.
Local residents cleaned the mountain last year, (remove) trash at a height of 5,200 meters. They (collect) about 8.4 metric tons of trash, according to figures from the Tibet autonomous region's government (西藏自治区人民政府).
This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan a new clean-up campaign, setting up stations to sort, recycle and break down garbage collected from the mountain.
In addition to trash, workers will also collect the bodies of (die) climbers. As of the 2019 climbing season, more than 300 people have died on Qomolangma, with 12 deaths this year.
A group of artists will try to turn some trash into artwork. They will show these works (local), to remind people not to leave trash when climbing the mountain.

Dear Mr. Charles,
I'm written to express my thanks to you for inviting me to sing a Chinese song at Chinese Music Festival sponsor by your school. As for my singing perform, I have some ideas.
There are a number Chinese songs people from different countries love. The song named Mom in the Candlelight is my favorite. I like it because of its wonderfully theme and its accompaniment of erhu, which are one of the famous Chinese instruments. I'd like to accompany myself on erhu in person, because I hope you can prepare the one for me.
I hope to meet you as sooner as possible. And I'm sure we will have funs during the festival.
Yours sincerely.
