"You should get a cat," my doctor said. "A cat?" I couldn't even look after myself! I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline(猫科的) friend into my life.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption information made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn't understand "no", "stop it" or "don't do that". She was the worst cat I've ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my doctor's advice. We decided to start taking her for walks. I could hardly leave the house before, but my heart couldn't say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like. If there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old. I'm no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I've ever had. She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months we had her. She no longer wakes me up at 5 a.m. begging for breakfast, but she is still the reason I get up every morning.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.
You might see loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. Such images are deceptive. Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and such images of solitude (孤独) don't match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people, at school or at work.
Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don't feel they understand us or share common interests with us. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can build (or seek out) the ones that mean the most to us.
There are certain features of youth that tend to give rise to loneliness. In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like we do not "fit in", as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness. Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are. That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home—such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members—these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.
If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. It is likely that you have not yet found the strategy that works for you. Here are some practical steps you can try, starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.
About one-third of adults globally have high blood pressure, which increases the risk of having a heart attack or stroke(中风). Physical activity is known to lower blood pressure. However, many people have trouble keeping to exercise plans.
Yoga tends to be more sustainable(可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure. However, these experiments have typically involved several sessions a week, which may not be achievable for many people.
To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), but had no mention of practising yoga in their records. On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure (收缩压) that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure(舒张压) that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn't.
This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn't make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes. For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.
Based on the new study, we can't say for sure that yoga lowers blood pressure, because there may be other explanations for the findings. People who do yoga may have lower blood pressure because they tend to have better diets, not because of the yoga itself. And yoga shouldn't be seen as the replacement for blood pressure lowering medicines. Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary(久坐的) people to exercise. "The greatest benefit is getting the exercise-shy to do something rather than increasing exercise in someone who does it regularly," an expert says.
The idea that red means stop and green means go affects more than just traffic light colors. We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety. For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors? You're about to find out.
Before there were traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railroad companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go and green to mean caution. But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go—bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night. It has been that way ever since.
That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused(分散) less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away. But this could happen by chance. It's not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood.
Yellow has a shorter wavelength than red but a longer wavelength than green. This means that red is noticeable the furthest away, yellow in the middle and green the least distance away—a helpful advanced warning for needing to slow or stop.
However, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school areas, some traffic signs and school buses continue to be painted the color. Keep these safe driving tips in the back of your mind whenever you see a yellow light.
A. Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go.
B. It could be a mix of all three!
C. But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights?
D. Employ these driving rules and know that traffic lights have certainly come a long way.
E. Red is the color with the longest wavelength.
F. When you're impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get mad.
G. Eventually, highly reflective materials were developed, and red stop signs were born.
It never occurred to me to think about my future job till I entered high school. In the years before high school, I1much on football and music. That was2I spent most of my spare time. After I entered high school, my3for civil engineering(土木工程) inspired me to make greater efforts.
I found my way to civil engineering4when I read an article about the Los Angeles earthquake in 1994. Its consequence was so awful that I was totally shocked. During the earthquake, many buildings fell down. The disaster led to heavy casualties(伤亡). The5sent me into thinking about how the building projects could be safer, and how I could get them that way. From then on, I6to learn civil engineering. 7different kinds of buildings is a form of recreation for me. Sitting on my bicycle for hours watching the houses around me has made me feel the8to shape our buildings into solid ones.
To achieve my ambition, I must9that I can get high grades in all my subjects. In school, I am truly fond of science and good at math. 10, my high school years had been challenged. My poor writing skills used to11me a lot. Fortunately, I had a strong wish to achieve my dream. It was the desire, which12me to keep practicing, that helped me overcome my shortcomings.
Over the years, I have learned to stick with things that I find right13. This character will stay with me till my efforts14. That, combined with my longstanding curiosity about15our world, is what will make me a great civil engineer someday soon.
Chinese sci-fi film industry went a hard time three years ago. The Wandering Earth had faced capital withdrawal(撤资) during filming, and the production process had many twists and turns. In the end, it ranked the fifth place in China's box office history with 4.686 billion, made it a watershed moment(分水岭) for Chinese sci-fi films, and Chinese audiences' (expect) for Chinese sci-fi films were once again high.
Sci-fi film shooting is different from of other film types, and teams of hundreds or thousands of people cannot move around multiple areas (repeated) to shoot. In the case of Moon Man, 95% of its footage(镜头) involved special effects, and the crew used 15 studios totaling more than 40,000 square meters in the Oriental Film City, with the entire team (take) more than half a year to build. In order to create a real effect, the crew even (lay) 200 tons of sand and gravel in a studio (imitate) the moon dust, and built a "real" moon base.
It is not difficult to find that road of Chinese sci-fi film exploration is extending excitingly farther and farther. The appearance of an era won't happen overnight. But we can believe that, with the (continue) efforts of Chinese filmmakers, the budding era of Chinese sci-fi films is worth looking forward to in the future.
The photograph of Mrs. Mueller that I took with my camera captures her seated on the sofa in our living room, smiling shyly. Mrs. Mueller was our next-door neighbor. My sister Laurel and I got to know her after her husband died. She didn't have children of her own and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and we considered her our special friend.
Early one December, Mrs. Mueller went into the hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we pondered (琢磨) what to make for Mrs. Mueller. It dawned on us that she would be coming home a few days before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. We lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared.
I was in Miss O'Keefe's sixth grade class that year, and we had decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments (装饰品). It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation. Miss O'Keefe said there would be a drawing (抽签) for the tree. We would each write our name on a piece of paper and put it in the shoebox she had decorated. On the last day of school before vacation, she would draw a name, and that student could take home the tree.
After I put my folded piece of paper into the box, I closed my eyes and clasped my hands, praying quietly. Miss O'Keefe noticed me and asked, "Holly, why were you praying just now?" I told her Mrs. Mueller's story and our wish to make her happy. "Good luck!" Miss O'Keefe said with a smile. After school, I was beside myself with excitement! My mother pointed out there were 30 children who might win the tree, but I was certain I would get it because God would definitely hear my sincere prayer.
The day before vacation finally arrived. Laurel and I usually walked to and from school, but I was so sure I would win the tree that I persuaded Mom to pick us up in the car that day.
注意 ：1.续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Late that afternoon, Miss O'Keefe announced it was time for the drawing.
……
The next day, when Mrs. Mueller's car turned into her driveway, we hurried over to welcome her back.
