Soleil is a musician from Cambodia(柬埔寨). Every weekday she picks her son up from school. Her husband is working abroad, and she and her son are living with her parents in peace. This is a typical(典型的) Cambodian family, where everyone lives together and everything is shared.
As an adult woman, it's Soleil's responsibility to look after the family. But on most days, she has an even more important job to do. Every afternoon, the theater that. runs the play Smile of Angkor has a rehearsal(排练) before the performance. All the local performers are required to be there. The show runs daily almost all year around. So every one of the performers knows their movements by heart. Soleil was among the first people to join the theater group and has been here almost every day for the last 13 years.
Although Soleil enjoys living with her large family, she still wants to have her own place. She and her husband just bought a new house last year. But they still don't have enough money to furnish(装修) it properly. All she wants is to give her so n a more comfortable environment to grow up in. Each performance at the theater puts her one step closer to that dream.
The play Smile of Angkor is the most famous performance in Cambodia. It is always listed as a "must-see" by tourists. Although the theater was founded by a company from China, all of the performers here are locals(当地人).
To improve the look of the performance, the theater has brought in Chinese experts to help with the stage design. So the beauty of Cambodian culture can be fully displayed.13 years of performances show the success of the efforts of Chinese people and Cambodians working hand in hand.
In our solar system(太阳系), some planets have a great number of moons(卫星)while some have none. Recently scientists have discovered 12 more moons going around Jupiter (木星). That means Jupiter now has a total of 92 moons, more than any other planet in our solar system.
Scott Sheppard was a member of the team that made the latest discoveries. The new moons were found using telescopes(望远镜) in Hawaii and Chile. Sheppard said, "I hope we can take clear photos of one of these moons in the near future to better understand it."
Jupiter's newly discovered moons are between one and three kilometers in size. They have not yet been named, as half of them are too small—less than 1.5 kilometers—to own a name.
Sheppard has already taken part in 70 moon discoveries for Jupiter. He also discovered moons going around Saturn(土星). It had been the planet with the most moons until the most recent announcement. It now is known to have 83moons. Saturn held the top position since 2019 when Sheppard's team discovered 20 more moons. Before that, Jupiter was the solar system's leader with 79 moons.
Sheppard expects to keep adding moons to both Jupiter and Saturn in the future. Uranus and Neptune also have many small moons. But they are much farther from Earth, so discovering new moons around those planets is more difficult.
This year, the European Space Agency has sent a spaceship to explore Jupiter. The spaceship, called JUICE, took off in April. The task is to make further research on Jupiter and its three large moons.
Looking at the undone homework on his desk always makes David Grey feel uncomfortable. More often than not, David leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet or watches TV instead, waiting until the last minute. "But the longer 1 wait," says David, aged 15, "the more I worry."
Everyone procrastinates(拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. "Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning," says Professor Peter Stone. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. "One big cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure (失败), of not meeting others' expectations (期待)," Stone adds.
Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive. But researchers disagree. "I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time," says Stone. "They did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better." No matter what the cause is, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems.
For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you've been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you moving.
Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 pm, you might set a timed dimmer switch(渐暗开关) at 10 pm. When the lights are dimmer, you'll start going to bed. It works for most people.
Finally, reward yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you've run 3 km, enjoy your favourite ice-cream. But be careful: it won't work the other way around.

The boy acted with 8 but he didn't understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawl out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of 9 out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly's body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 10 to fly.
