After almost a century，Lin Huiyin，a Chinese architecture student at the University of Pennsylvania between 1924 and 1927，will be awarded a late Bachelor of Architecture diploma by the Stuart Weitzman School of Design.
At the May 18，2024，Weitzman Commencement Ceremony，the School will award Lin，arguably the first and most famous female architect in modern China，"a late posthumous Bachelor of Architecture degree"，stated an article titled"An Architectural Pioneer Receives Her Due，"published by Penn on Sunday.
Lin Huiyin，along with her husband Liang Sicheng，who was also a famous Chinese architect，traveled to the United States in 1924 and studied in Penn's architecture program.
However，Pennsylvania's architecture program rejected the admission application of this Chinese woman because it did not admit female students until
1934.As a result，Lin had to study in the only department that accepted female students，the School of Fine Arts.But she actively participated in architecture studios，took courses in design theory，drawing，and architectural history，and worked as an assistant in architectural design，often more excellent than her male peers.She completed most of the coursework required for a Bachelor of Architecture degree.The only exceptions were a drawing course that was not open to female students because it featured male models.
"Upon closer examination，it became clear that she would have got a degree if she were a man，"said Fritz Steiner，Weitzman Dean，and Paley Professor，"It's not right，and this is an opportunity to correct that."
Lin's daughter，94﹣year﹣old Liang Zaibing，said，"A hundred years later，my mother is being recognized by her Alma Mater（母校）.This reminds me of her bravery and determination when she chose to major in architecture.She proved throughout her life that she was a true architect."
The Holding Fist（抱拳礼） is a traditional Chinese custom，often seen in martial arts practices.To perform this custom，one must stand tall and straight，clench （握紧） their right fist，and extend their left palm with the four fingers aligned.The left hand then wraps around the right fist，and both hands are held in front of the chest，elbows down.
This gesture has two main meanings.First，the left palm's four fingers represent the four nurturing elements of Virtue，Wisdom，Health，and Art，which embody the spirit of martial arts.The slightly bent left thumb signifies humility，reminding us to avoid arrogance.The clenched right fist symbolizes diligent training and the potential for attack.The left hand，representing virtue and discipline，acts as a check on this aggression，meaning self﹣discipline and restraint.
Secondly，the right fist is said to represent the five great lakes of China，while the left hand symbolizes the four seas that surround the nation.The unity of both hands reflects the brotherhood among martial artists，as stated in the saying，"The people of the five lakes and four seas are all brothers."
The Holding Fist salute is used in various contexts to convey greetings，congratulations，and fine wishes.It is a common practice during major events and festivals like the Spring Festival to show respect when meeting relatives，friends，or colleagues.At joyous events such as weddings or birthday parties，guests may perform the Holding Fist to celebrate with the hosts.Additionally，at farewell gatherings，people often use this gesture while wishing each other farewell.In some instances，the Holding Fist is also employed to seek forgiveness.
In late 2021，a scientist named Bohmann from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and her team found a new way to study animals.They discovered many types of animals in the Copenhagen Zoo and around it，even when the animals were not inside the zoo.They used a special method to find the animals：they absorbed air through a filter （过滤器） to get DNA from it.
The air we breathe is mostly made up of nitrogen （氮气） and oxygen，but it also has a tiny bit of DNA.Animals drop bits of their DNA into the environment all the time，from their skin，waste，fur，feathers and more.This DNA can help us understand what animals live in a certain area.Scientists have found DNA in rain，soil，and honey，and even in water.Air is everywhere，so it's easy to take samples from it.It's easier to collect DNA from the air than people thought.
At a zoo in Cambridgeshire，a biologist named Elizabeth Clare from York University in Toronto did some tests.She used a special vacuum （真空吸尘器） to get DNA from the air near the zoo's fences.She found DNA from many different animals，even from far away.One type of lemur （狐猴） was found everywhere，but another type was never found，even when she tried right next to it.Clare thought the tests were very successful.
At first，Clare and Bohmann thought their experiments might not work at all.But they were surprised to find lots of different animals，49 in Denmark and 25 in England，both inside and outside the zoo.They even found DNA from fish that were used as food for other animals.Bohmann said it was amazing.
This new way of using a DNA vacuum could help us find out where endangered animals live and protect them better.It could change how we watch over different types of animals and help us make better decisions about the environment.
Do you sometimes or often feel like you have too many possessions？If so，you probably know that those overfilled drawers and closets and stacks of papers can have negative effects on you.The act of beginning to deal with your stuff can itself provide a sense of relief..And figuring out what to keep and what to get rid of can be nothing short of challenging.Here's what some professionals say can help.
Get rid of trash first
Look for a few truly unneeded items，such as plastic that can go into recycling or old papers that can be cut into pieces.Arrange to rid your home of any harmful materials，such as antifreeze or solvents （溶剂）.If you don't know how to do it， .
Then pick other easy items
Instead of dealing with large areas or family heirlooms （传家宝），get to the small step you can take where you are guaranteed to be successful. .You can move on to bigger more emotionally meaningful possessions down the road.
.
If possible，have a friend or family member help you make decisions on what to trash，donate，or keep，Ferrari says.Picking up each item you're considering disposing of may trigger memories that derail the process.Having a friend or relative hold each object and show it to you can make decision﹣making easier.
Adjust your habits
.For instance，would passing books on after reading them keep bookcases neater？Would buying a new item only if you get rid of another help？Or sorting mail daily so you can throw junk letters away right now？
A. Ask for a hand
B. Start right now
C. That might be just one kitchen drawer or one closet shelf
D. simply throw them away in the trash to keep your home tidy
E. Getting rid of unneeded items can make you safer and happier
F. contact your community's environmental department for information
G. Think about your actions that contribute to the mess and which you can change
Before our first child was born last year，my wife Cristina and I often thought about the kind of parents we wanted to be.We often watched 1 sitting at the table in silence，glued to their own phones，hardly taking their eyes off the screens between bites.We didn't want to live like that and 2 to be present with one another.
After our son was born，however，the 3 was quite different.In those sleepless early days，I found myself lost in my 4 .I spent up to four hours a day surfing on it while in front of me was a new life we had 5 about.My wife told me it was as though I had disappeared when I looked at my phone.It was then that we decided to 6 the Internet.
The first days off line were hard.I developed a strong 7 for words，loading my nightstand（床头柜） with books from the library.I read them all quickly，and started reading anything.Over time，I was able to read deeply，consuming 8 works that I would have struggled to 9 before.At the end of the first week，my phone reported that my screen time had 10 by 80 percent.Sometimes I just sat and thought，letting my mind travel where it pleased with no plan or 11 .I12 that it had been years since I'd last allowed myself to do nothing.
Many people won't or can't 13 remove the Internet as we did.But they can set aside space in their lives unoccupied by 14 .Establishing a space beyond tech's reach is a way of gaining15 from technology.It reminds us that we can live and thrive（茁壮成长） happily without it.
One important feature of classic literature is that it often reflects an author's own experiences and can，therefore，help us understand the important issues of his or her time.This is one reason the best works of literature still appeal to readers long after they（write） in ancient times.Cao Xueqin's A Dream of Red Mansions，one of the most significant （novel） in Chinese literature，is a good example of this. （it） storyline follows the fall of a large wealthy family much like the author's own.No doubt drawing his own experiences，Cao Xueqin gives a detailed description oflife was like at that time.The novel contains a great number of details such as what the upper class（wear） and ate.It also describes the social relations in 18th﹣century China.（consequent），readers are capable of better（understand） the gap between rich and poor，men and women，the learned and the uneducated in the historical context.Cultural and historical elements like these make A Dream of Red Mansions timeless classic.In summary，we can learn much about a specific period in history from classic literature.
Lucas and Dawson were best friends all the time.Dawson learned his new spelling words faster，he was quick to learn addition and subtraction （减法），and he could read aloud quite effortlessly—but these are not the things that are really valued among little boys，and education is a lot more than reading，spelling，and math.Lucas had physical talents.He could run faster，climb higher up a tree，and throw a stone farther.
The annual school football selection contest was coming up，and Dawson had no doubt that Lucas would be selected.Lucas always got selected.He ran fast，he handled the ball well，and he didn't get frightened when other kids tried to tackle （抢断球）.Dawson desperately wanted to be selected.
Despite his talents in football，Lucas trained very hard，running，passing or shooting the ball on the football field whether it was sunny or rainy，while Dawson was always absent from the training due to his lack of confidence because he was not good at football.
One weekend，Dawson arrived at his grandpa's home，looking helpless. "What's wrong？" asked Grandpa kindly. "It's the football selection contest.I want to be selected like Lucas but I am not confident."
Dawson's grandpa gently stroked his grandson's shoulder and said， "You and Lucas have been friends for a long time and during that time there is something I have learned about Lucas.Over my life I have met a lot of other people like him.In my experience，the best athletes have a few secrets that help them gain success." as though he were a master magician finally agreeing to tell his student some safely guarded magical tricks of the trade.Dawson was eager to learn the secrets.
