On June 15, the 100-day countdown to the Hangzhou Asian Games, the medal of the 19th Asian Games was released. The medal of the 19th Asian Games is named Shan Shui, which is another core (核心) element of the Asian Games, along with the official emblem (徽章) Tides Surging, mascots Congcong, Chenchen, Lianlian, color system Meeting the World and torch Eternal Flame. It is an important addition to the overall aesthetic (审美) of the event.
Shan Shui is characterized by the ceremonial jade (玉) Cong in the Liangzhu Culture(5,300BC-4,300BC). This square jade, integrated with a round medal, is truly unique and highly recognizable.
Shan Shui presents the geographical features of Hangzhou. By using noticeable lines, the picture scroll of Hangzhou is outlined on the front side of the medal with misty hills on three sides and the city on one side, a rippling lake, and wavelike mountains beyond. The back side is shaped like a square seal, which means the athletes leave a beautiful mark on the Hangzhou Asian Games,
Shan Shui expresses the character of Hangzhou as the capital of ecological civilization, with natural landscape, clear water and green hills, creating invaluable assets, casting gold and silver medals.
Shan Shui shows the sportsmanship of climbing the heights. Reaching the top, one will become even higher. On the way to the summit, athletes strive hard, challenge themselves, and overcome one peak after another.
The medal will be made by painting, milling, trimming and polishing, gold and silver plating effect treatment, and protection treatment. The medal ribbon (绶带) will be hand-sewn on both sides using weave technology and environmentally friendly printing techniques. The bridge shaped buckle at the top of the ribbon highlights the Jiangnan characteristics of the water town and the bridge town. The linking method adopts the raw ear structure of the spring buckle shaft (弹簧扣轴) to fix the ribbon inside the medal.

【推荐1】There is no cycling race more celebrated than the Tour de France. Stating from the Eifel Tower in Paris, this 8-day race winds on stone-covered roads, up mountains and finishes at the top of la Planche des Belles Filles. Huge crowds cheer on the riders every year and the 2022 race was no exception. Except for a brief time period between 1984 and 1989, there hasn’t been a Tour de France for women riders until now.
“The biggest race is the Tour de France,” said professional cyclist Ayesha McGowan. “Whenever I tell people what I do, they always ask, ‘You mean you ride in the Tour de France?’ I’d have to inform them that women didn’t have one where I could compete. But now I don’t have to do that anymore.”
On July 24,2022, when the men’s race finished, the Tour De France Femmes began. The route to this race actually began in 1955 when a special woman’s race occurred. It wouldn’t return until 1984. The women’s version lasted until 1989 and then was replaced by an unofficial version that was discontinued in 2009. Four yeas later, professional cyclists Kathryn Bertine, Emma Pooley and Chrissie Wellington started advocating for an official women’s race. The result is the new Tour de France Femmes.
While women have their own race, the prizes for the women aren’t equal. The female winners will receive eight times less than the men. There isn’t parity in other aspects, either. Women riders ride a shorter distance than what men can ride in a day. It was broadcast live at the set time like men’s but only for two hours, much shorter than the men’s.
The race ended on July 31, lasting eight days, with 39-year-old Dutch rider Van Vleuten wining the eighth and final stage. “I’m proud to be the first winner of this new version,”she said. “I hope it’s a big start and we can build this into as influential an event as men's in a few years’ time. It’s a milestone to vin he first one.”

【推荐2】When Tony took up running as a hobby, he was 42 years old. Now 42 years later he’s a national champion and a world record holder. He never imagined at the age of 84 this is where he’d be, but then he doesn’t meet many people in their 80s who are out training four times a week. “I can see it’s a bit unusual, yes. But it’s been my life,” he told the reporter.
The retired officer runs at a track near his home in Leeds. At an event in Italy last month he set a world record in the 80m hurdles with a time of under 17 seconds. But he sees no reason to slow down and his ambition is still to be competing when he passes a hundred.
“I probably won’t be doing a crouch start (蹲式起跑), but it’s only 16 years away,” he joked. Like anyone his age, he’s had health problems. He’s had a string of severe heart attacks, but doctors have told him as long as it makes him feel good, he should carry on running.
“I can’t let my heart get in the way of my training. When I am running I have to give it my absolute all. My heart is the last thing on my mind,” he said.
He trains every other day, dances and plays hockey and he recently cuts down on alcohol and chocolate. He said, “I’ve heard alcohol can lead to dementia (痴呆) and I don’t want that. I’ve cut down to one glass of wine every other day. I now have to stay as fit as I can be to keep up my lifestyle.”
Tony’s next birthday is next September. And the first thing he wants to do is become the world’s fastest 85-year-old.

【推荐3】Under the calm water, a group of people with simple diving equipment are holding hockey sticks, passing the ball and shooting.
They surface only when they need to take a breath. Due to the need for holding one’s breath for extended periods of time, underwater hockey requires strong physical and psychological support. It is an extreme sport. In China, a growing number of people have been joining this sport.
In the summer of 2013, Meng Tao founded an underwater hockey club in Handan City, Hebei Province, and its membership now exceeds 600. He says he first encountered underwater hockey when he took part in diving. After hearing the news about the first China Cup Underwater Hockey Championship match in Beijing, Meng said he started to think of establishing a team.
Meng’s idea quickly got support among the underwater hockey enthusiasts, and the first underwater hockey team in Hebei Province was established within only a few days.
Among the 24 team members, people come from different occupations including teacher, policeman, hairdresser, etc. What brings them together is their enthusiasm for diving.
This newly-developed sport requires smaller sticks and a heavier ball. It is played in a 25m × 15m swimming pool that is between 2m and 4m deep. Each side consists of 10 players, with 6 players playing in the pool and 4 interchange players on the side who can substitute others at any time.
The game is made up of 15-minute halves and a 3-minute rest-time. Each team is permitted a 60 seconds time-out per half. The game clock stops for any fouls (犯规) in the last 2 minutes of the game.
The players wear large fins, a diving mask and snorkel and a thick glove to protect their hands from the pool bottom and the hockey ball. Though played underwater, it is an attractive sport for both players and hockey fans.

【推荐1】China will have the most 5G connections of any nation by 2025, according to a new study, while Europe will fall behind Korea, the United States and Japan in terms of 5G penetration(渗透)by that year.
5G is the fifth generation of network technology. It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots self-driving cars, and the Internet of things.
The GSMA said that China's three major mobile operators-China Unicorn, China Mobile, and China Telecom-are already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study noted that China plans to build part of its 5G networks.
One of the most distinguishing(显著的) factors between Chinese mobile operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build a completely advanced 5G. The high cost underlines China's seriousness about paying whatever it takes.
Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nation's total connections will be 5G, according to GSMA. This compares to 50 percent in the US, 49 percent in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent. Out of the five economies leading on 5G, Europe will have the lowest participation in 2025, as the area is moving more slowly in having its 5G networks.

【推荐2】China’s Chang’e 5 space craft, tasked with bringing lunar(月球的) rock samples to Earth, successfully landed on the Moon on December 1st, 2020. The 8,200kg spacecraft, set off from China’s Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on November 23,2020, entered the satellite’s orbit(轨道) on November 28th, 2020.
With 19 hours of landing, the probe(探测器) gathered about 2 kg of rocks and soil by digging almost 2 meters deep into the lunar surface using its robotic arm. The sample-filled jar was placed in the ascender vehicle (上升器), which left the Moon’s surface and entered the lunar orbit on December 3rd, 2020. Then, in a historic first, the ascender and Chang’s 5 orbiter(轨道器) spacecraft successfully came together on December 6, 2020 to complete the first-ever robotic rendezvous and docking(对接) in lunar orbit.
“In terms of the space tasks that humans have performed so far, only the Apollo program missions have complete the rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit. However, unscrewed rendezvous and cocking have never been done before,” Peng Jing, deputy chief designer of the Chang’e 5 probe from the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), told Chinese media ahead of the attempt.
With the rock samples safely transported to the return capsule(太空舱), the Chang’e 5 spacecraft will continue to circle the Moon for a few days before beginning its 112-hour journey back to Earth.

【推荐3】Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street comers. And just talk.
Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.
They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教). So what’s the point?
“ To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with open talk.”
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.
“ It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “ We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “ To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision.
