In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I've found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.
Jackdaws (寒鸦) are the smallest member of the crow family. They often live in a crowd. Indeed, when cold weather comes, they gather in the hundreds (and sometimes thousands) every evening so that they can sleep in the same place. If you' ve ever heard jackdaws during their evening gatherings and morning departures, you' ll know they are not quiet birds. Despite being fairly low-volume during the day, they are really loud on either side of their night-time get-togethers. Why might this be?
A team of the Cornish Jackdaw Project set out to determine why jackdaws are so noisy before they depart from their sleeping spot. The team' s theory was that the morning calls might be a jackdaw version of " voting" . The researchers suspected that each individual' s call might count as an " I' m in!" . When a certain amount of " I' m in!" s are called —and so a certain volume of noise is reached -the group might then depart as a unit.
To test this idea, the researchers artificially increased the level of calls during the jackdaws' natural morning calls. Their expectation was that, if jackdaws really are " voting with their voice" to decide when to depart the sleeping site, artificially adding calls would make them leave earlier than they naturally would have done. Subsequent experiments confirmed their expectation. The team therefore showed that jackdaws use their calls as a sort of voting system.
You might wonder why this happens. The researchers suggest that individual jackdaws benefit from the voting system because they are less at risk of being killed and they can get more access to social information — such as where to find food.
So the loud calls of jackdaws in the morning are therefore not the pure chaos it sounds like. If you are ever being driven mad by the sound in the morning, you can find comfort in the fact that the louder they get, the sooner they will leave you in peace.
I' m a layperson with a love of science who occasionally reads science magazines. My approach was from an author' s angle, spending months on research before waiting a single word for Pig Heart Boy.
So where did I get the idea? Whenever I attend a school event, that question is asked. The answer is simple. Back in the mid 1990s, I read a newspaper article written by a doctor who guessed that we would eventually have to turn to xenotransplantation (异种器官移植) as a possible solution to the lack of human organ donors. It left my mind filled with questions. What are the consequences? Do we really have the right to treat animals as mere organ sources for humans? So I headed to my nearest bookshop and bought all the books I could on heart transplants in particular.
I' ve found questions are one of the best places to start from when writing a novel. In my story Cameron, who needs a heart transplant, knows he is unlikely to see his next birthday unless he receives one, but he is a long way down the waiting list. When a genetically modified (GM) pig' s heart is offered by a pioneering doctor, Cameron decides to go for it—and his new heart completely changes his life in unexpected ways.
Now some people think that the subject matter is not suitable for children, criticizing the cruel and inhuman ways of xenotransplantation. I completely disagree. As a children' s author, it never ceases to amaze me how some adults underestimate what subject matter will interest and stimulate children. I wanted to write a story that provided no right or wrong answers, a story that would allow the reader to walk in Cameron' s shoes for a while and think about what decisions they would make and how they would react if they too were faced with his situation.
Fictional stories that explore new ideas when it comes to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects also have a part to play in enriching our children' s reading and learning. Various studies have shown that reading fiction enhances our children' s ability to grasp new concepts. Pig Heart Boy was my attempt to incorporate science possible into a believable, thought-provoking (令人深思的) story.
According to the Journal for Happiness Studies, to gain most from a vacation, you need eight days off. If you can take that much time off, do it. But many of us can't go away for that long. Most of the time, we can just enjoy short weekends
Stay away from work,
You can't gain benefits of time off i you're still mentally tied into work. So set an email vacation away message, leave your work phone at home, and commit to leaving any email or phone calls until you return to work Then put your devices away until the next day at that time.
Put the camera away,
It's fun to take some pictures and share them on social media. However, consider limiting yourself. Think about what you're taking pictures for, and put the camera away sometimes. A visual record isn't the only way to make memories. Participation is the best way.
When you're on vacation, have a good sleep. Schedule time to sleep for as long as you like to allow for a deep rest. Lie in bed and do nothing (try to avoid taking up your phone and diving into social media), and just relax. And even if you can't necessarily fall completely asleep, letting your mind wander can reduce anxiety and allow for greater creativity.
Read a novel.
It helps make you a more empathetic(感同身受的) person, and it's good for your brain, It can help you relearn how to focus on one thing at a time. Reading while on vacation can also work to beautifully connect reading a certain book with a place.

As a first-generation Asian immigrant (移民) who had grown up in poverty, I knew I was
beyond1 to be admitted into Harvard. I loved books, but it never crossed my mind to become a(n)2 of any sort. I didn' t3 to have unrealistic dreams.
Still, something4 me. My deskmate had 5 our friendship recently. There wasn' t a dramatic fight or disagreement. He had 6 46 moved on to new friends. I felt an ache in my chest that7 night. I started doodling (涂鸦) on my notepad and then, suddenly, my hand started writing words. I' d written a poem about him. There on the page was the truth about how much it hurt to 8 him.
That tiny poem was a9 that rooted in my heart. I realized I could possibly become a writer and from that moment on, it was all I10 to do. So I changed my field of study to English. I11 my first short stories while I was still a student. I went on to write my first novel, Girl in Translation, which became an international12 and is taught in schools around the world.
That night, I learned that art isn' t a 13 . It' s at the core of what makes us human. Although I' d believed that immigrants couldn' t afford to be14 I understood then that we had always been the ultimate artists, 15 ourselves again and again as we try to adapt to a new landscape.
Every day, thousands of tourists from around the world plan their trips to the Great Wall of China.
Despite the wall's 5,500-odd miles, (spread) from east to west across the country, most travelers find (them) at either the Badaling or Mutianyu sections, the two areas closest to Beijing. These visitors rise early from their downtown hotels, pack themselves into buses and wait in long queues (see) the magnificent structures that consist of the Great Wall.
But what if there was another way?
An hour-long drive north of the (crowd) capital is Commune by the Great Wall, a popular weekend getaway for Beijingers a series of modern buildings consist of a luxury hotel, with award-winning design among yellow-leaved gingko trees. It is not only the rural surroundings attract travelers to the town of Yangqing. Beyond the usual services — an expansive breakfast buffet and cozy bed sheets — Commune by the Great Wall (provide) a rare opportunity to simply walk to the Wall. Just 20 minutes by foot from the hotel reception (be) the Shuiguan section of the wall.
Commune by the Great Wall won special praise at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2002, the year the 12 core buildings (complete).

It was Mr. Morgan's first day as a new history teacher. He was giving the students a lecture on the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ, when the door suddenly opened. A boy walked in with his eyes fixed on the floor and took his seat without speaking a word or looking up at the teacher.
"Good morning, young man," said Mr. Morgan, his voice was strict. "It's 9:15, and you re 20 minutes late for class. Do you have a good reason?" But the boy just sat without responding. "Could you please stand up and introduce yourself?" Mr. Morgan added. "I'm Archie," replied the boy as he rose and looked up, rubbing his tired eyes.
Archie looked very untidy and dizzy(头晕目眩的), as though he hadn't slept at all the previous night. "Nice to meet you, Archie. I'm your new history teacher. You're late for class. Do you mind telling me why? You just walked in without excusing yourself, and I won't entertain such behavior." Archie hesitated for a while. "I'm sorry, sir. I overslept . I didn't mean to come in late. I was just tired, sir," he finished, unable to control his yawn, and the whole class laughed. "Silence!" Mr. Morgan demanded. "Archie, you cannot be late for class like this. Can I see your homework? I heard your previous history teacher gave you assignments every weekend. Show it to me, will you?"
Archie handed over his notebook, and Mr. Morgan's expression turned uneasy. "Umm, it looks like that you didn't do your homework at all." "I didn't do it, sir," the boy said sheepıshly as the teacher looked through the rest of the pages. "Archie, what is this? You haven't done any of your homework this whole term," Mr. Morgan scolded. "I want to meet your parents tomorrow, alright? Or I'm taking you straight to the principal's office. Is that clear?" "Yes, sir," Archie murmured and sat on his seat.
But the boy didn't show up the following day. The principal told him, "We've given Archie chances, but there's no improvement. His presence is affecting our academic statistics." Mr. Morgan started to worry.
