When asked what his father did for a living, my son explained to his kindergarten teacher that "he steals things, but it's O. K. because he gets paid to do it."
He wasn't wrong.
I'm a hacker, and I run a team of hackers. We spend our days discovering ways to break into anything that can connect to the Internet, to access information never meant to be seen. If we get to it before a criminal does, then we've done our job.
I'm proud of what I do for a living, just like doctors or lawyers are proud of the work they do. In Hollywood, hackers are often described as hooded(戴着兜帽的)figures in dark rooms involved in illegal activity while tapping keyboards. Actually, hackers are expert at programming and problem-solving with computers. Companies hire hackers to find their breaking point before criminals do.
Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity from a crime is permission. Drivers are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour-that's illegal. Bankers can transfer their clients' money, but if they do so without permission, that's illegal.
Hacking isn't an inherently(本质上)criminal activity. Someone who involves in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a "bad hacker" but a "threat actor". Hackers are people like me and my team at IBM-security professionals.
Hackers play a critical role in keeping companies and people safe. At IBM, one thing my team does is hack autonomous vehicles, planes and trains to make sure that every possible security weakness is found and corrected before each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things could happen without us.
Jersey City is holding its first annual mural(壁画)festival and the event is an exhibition of color and art. Over 70 artists showed their art pieces on over 50 walls. Tons of paint was used. Thousands of square meters of art were created. Guests were amused and impressed.
Jersey city has always been popular with street artists. Salvador Dali, David Bowie, Mike Tyson and many other famous faces from different times are looking at guests from the city walls. But in the last seven years, over 150 colorful artworks have appeared on the city walls.
Jersey City officials approved the idea and made the Jersey City mural festival an annual event. "We have one of the most dynamic mural programs in the entire country. Today speaks to the fact that the investment in arts and culture is going to lead the way back for us. People appreciate it and want to live in a city like Jersey city for these exact reasons. "
Hundreds of artists hoping to be part of the festival presented their projects in advance for official approval. Officials selected the art based on creativity and execution(实施). There were no limitations when it came to the theme or subject. They ranged from political to abstract. Almost 80 artists participated this year. The whole city was decorated with these grand murals.
Tasty food, refreshing drinks, art and lively conversations-the festival proved to be a magnet for both tourists and locals. Communities were brought together through art.
While the festival only lasts a few days, the murals will stay on the city walls until next year when more art finds its way into the public spaces of Jersey City.
A positive attitude can be a gift to those around you," said Jamie Long, a clinical psychologist in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "But it shouldn't take the place of listening thoughtfully to others' experiences."
"When you choose to look at situations from one positive angle, you are very likely to dismiss a true experience," Long explained. Even if you try to cheer up someone, ignoring someone's difficult experiences can leave them feeling they should hide negative feelings in the future.
As examples of "positive" responses that might destroy a friend's ability to share their feelings, Long listed: "Look for the silver lining" and "it could be worse". Instead of trying to find a positive angle, Long suggested using accepting phrases that communicate a willingness to listen, and to share life's difficult moments with the people you care about.
Still, the positive benefits of negative emotions may be best experienced in relatively small doses(剂量). Lomas Quintero highlighted that appreciating the value of difficult feelings is all about finding balance. "Any negative emotion can go too far or turn into a clinical issue," he said.
Long agreed. "There is an abundance of research that really touts(吹捧)the benefits of positivity, and we're not denying that, " Long said. "When you do so to an extreme, when you dismiss truth, that's where problems arise."
In 1969, when Neil Armstrong first landed on the Moon, many people thought soon we would be regularly visiting other planets. .

With technologies developed for space exploration, we can solve some big problems facing mankind, making our lives safer and easier. Originally applied to the space shuttle launch, they have also been set up in the cities with a high frequency of earthquakes to protect buildings and save lives.
Although space exploration demands huge investment, it can actually bring great economic value. The global space economy is increasing by billions of dollars every year. Jobs in the space industry go far beyond the astronauts. There are many support staff on the ground, such as engineers and research assistants.
Moreover, the amazing work can provide education and inspiration for the next generation. Such wonders as a space shuttle launch or astronauts walking on the Moon are incredibly inspiring to witness. These moments shape children's lives forever and motivate them to become the scientists and engineers of the future.

When I left for college, I 1 my hometown goodbye! I told everyone, "I will 2 come back here!" I secretly felt that moving back home meant that I'd failed. That I became 3.
I loved city life in NYC. I adored the museums, nightlife, and endless 4 for food and fun. I walked on the streets 5 I was part of them.
Living in the city did provide me with many opportunities. But as I got 6 to my 30s, I started to hate living in the city. I hated the traffic. I hated going out, 7 crowds to get a table or even get a drink. I began wanting a bit more 8, something the city could no longer give me.
I started to dream about moving back home. And I did it. I left my good job and the endless 9.
Every day I wake up to birds singing. No traffic sounds, car alarms, or people 10 on the streets. The air here is clean and smells good. My favorite thing to do is watch the sunset from my porch.
Since I've been home my life has been 11. I realized that home is a place that 12 me. A place to dream and imagine. Because before, in the city, I felt like I had to compete with everyone to 13. Many times, forgetting what I was 'fighting' for, I was 14 in competition. I lost touch with the other parts of myself, never 15 realizing that the quiet country life provided that to me.
Building hope
In 1965, Millard and Linda Fuller decided to trade in their lives as millionaires for a simple life helping others. They made this decision after visiting a community-run farm, everyone worked together and helped each other. The farm inspired the Fullers to help others, and in 1976 they founded Habitat for Humanity, non-governmental organization that aims to build houses for poor people around the world.
Habitat houses are built by volunteers, and the materials (use) to build the houses are donated. Because the Fullers believed that people should work (improve) their own lives, those who receive a house must also spend hours (help) build their homes.
In keeping with their belief that people should help (they), the Fullers wanted to ensure that houses were not (simple) handed to people in need. Habitat houses are not free, but they are (expensive) than other houses because the organization does not profit from them.
Today there are volunteers all around the world. Since 2000, many volunteers, including middle school and university students, (build) houses for people in need.
By building houses for poor people and helping them be (responsibility) for their lives, Habitat for Humanity is building hope around the world.

Dear Chris,

For two years, Mika and I were hunting for a cheap, cosy cottage by a stream. Then, late one night, something appeared online. A log cabin(木屋)on four acres, with a dirt road to the Susquehanna River and protected farmland on all sides. Perfect!
Except
"You know where it is, right?" the realtor (房地产经纪人)warned when I called the next morning. Only two houses were down there. Everything else, for hundreds of acres, was open farmland. No police, no local government, not even a grocery store. The only place within fifteen miles to buy food was a one-room shop in the back of an Amish farm. If we moved out there, he warned, we'd be completely on our own.
Whatever. It had to be better than our apartment here, right?
We pulled into the dirt drive way to find horses eating grass along the fence, flowers blooming in the streams, and an Amish farmer rumbling(轰隆隆)past in a steel-wheeled truck. Unbelievable! We threw open the car doors, excitedly talking about the wonderful view. Pulling the realtor aside, we couldn't wait to make an offer. And a few weeks later, we left Philly for our dream home.
Solitude(独处)was going to be our biggest problem-or so I thought, until I heard Mika scream. I dropped the box I was unpacking and came running. I found her on the back door, holding two-year-old Maya in her arms, moving away from a six-foot black snake winding at her feet. She had been watering a row of plants and when she stepped from one to the next, the snake dropped from the roof and felt down right where Mika had been standing a second earlier.
