1 . We all make mistakes. Then why is it so hard sometimes to ________ it when we do?What does making mistakes say about you? Making mistakes means you are ________. My youngest son ________ making mistakes. This often causes him not even to try. No matter how much I tell him that it’s his trying his best that ________, he often listens to his inner voice which tells him not to fail.

As a parent, I try hard to persuade him to be ________ . I try to make him ________ that it’s the fact that he is giving his best that puts him on the bus towards his intended destination. ________, we don’t always have that person trying to ________ us with a reassuring (令人放心的) voice. Sometimes we have to go out and ________ our own voice, either our inner voice or a(n) ________ voice taken from a podcast, a book, or a blog.

Mistakes are not the ________ of the line. I am on the road often and rely on my GPS to direct me when there is traffic. It can happen that I take a different route ________ an accident or traffic. When I ________ my designated (指定的) turn, my navigation system does not end the ________. It redirects me towards a(n) ________ route. Therefore, think of mistakes as our GPS redirecting us.

2 . The whimsy (奇想) and inventiveness that helped Frank Lloyd Wright’s works stand out a century ago continue to attract new generations of architecture fans. Here’s why experiencing Wright sites can get your kids to look at the world with an architect’s eye.

Fallingwater in Southwestern Pennsylvania is Wright’s most famous building. “Kids are quick to notice they could climb on it,” says director of education Ashley Andrykovitch. She discourages anyone from treating the masterpiece like a jungle gym (攀爬架), but loves using the house as a jumping-off point for teaching children about the art of designing buildings. “A tour of Fallingwater makes them look at the built environment differently,” she says.

In the suburb of Oak Park, Chicago, there are 25 of Wright’s buildings. This is the best spot to see the architect’s creative world. On guided tours, visitors see the inventive spaces Wright designed for his own children. You can also take children on hunts for Wright buildings here, either on guided bike tours or using a brochure sold at the Home and Studio bookstore. “Tell them what to look out for and then see if they can discover all the properties created by the early 20th century legend, which is the most difficult but enjoyable part of the tour,” Kate Coogan, manager for education at the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust says.

To help kids appreciate what makes Wright’s creations so special, consider a sleepover (在外过夜) in a property he designed. Middle-school math teacher Shari Kagan and her two teenage sons spent a weekend at one of Wright’s buildings. After check-in, her kids eagerly explored every angle. “It was like they were searching for gifts on Christmas morning,” she says. After an exciting day, the Kagans sat on the floor in the TV-free family room to examine copies of the house’s blueprints (蓝图). Now the kids are noticing architecture wherever they go. “They’ll say, ‘Look at the lines on that house. I wonder what inspired it,’” Kagan says.

3 . More than one billion pounds of pumpkins are grown in the U.S. every year, and after they’ve been used on Halloween, millions of them will end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋地) and become methane, which is a greenhouse gas. “Compared to carbon dioxide, methane warms the atmosphere in a shorter amount of time, which means it’s a particularly strong cause of climate change,” says Kay McKeen, the executive director at SCARCE, an environmental education organization based in Illinois.

That’s why, in 2014, McKeen and her SCARCE co-workers began Pumpkin Smash, a collection event where local Illinois residents can bring their rotting (正在腐烂的) pumpkins to 69 different locations to send them off to compost bins (堆肥箱), and smash (粉碎) them to pieces. “It puts nutrients back in our soil, it saves water, and it doesn’t make methane gas — it’s just a win-win,” says McKeen. By their own calculations, the group has saved 538 tons of pumpkins from the landfill.

But not everyone has access to pumpkin-smashing events. Since pumpkins are a great source of human nutrition, some people turn to home cooking. “Not one pumpkin goes to the landfill from our kitchen. It is a common ingredient in baked food like muffins, bread, and pies,” says Una Hagen. Pumpkin flesh can also be fermented (发酵), notes Elizabeth Flournoy: “I have been making wine from pumpkins!”

Some people throw pumpkins outside for deer, or raccoons to eat. While pumpkins are generally safe for wildlife to eat, experts say it’s best to let them hunt for their own food. Feeding wild animals can spread disease when animals gather. Some states, like Colorado, fine residents who intentionally feed wildlife. And trying to feed animals like deer can unintentionally attract animals like bears and lead to human-wildlife conflict. Instead, see if any local farms are collecting pumpkins as treats for their pigs, goats, and other animals — or for any other purposes. The website Pumpkins for Pigs shows animal farms around the country that take uncarved and unpainted pumpkins.

7 . A subway line that links downtown Beijing with Daxing International Airport in the Chinese capital now allows passengers to enter and exit stations by just scanning the palm of a hand, setting an example of how using biometric data in public transportation can make commuting more convenient.

The pilot program was launched on Sunday on the Daxing Airport Express subway line to spare passengers the trouble of swiping a card(刷卡)or scanning a QR code to catch a train , the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport said.

Any commuter aged 14 and above can first register the print of either palm through a simple, automated process and provide relevant information to authorize the payment gateway of WeChat, a popular messaging app in China. Once the palm print is registered, a commuter can scan the palm at any automated ticket gate to pass through. The fare is automatically paid after exit. Besides, the registration is a one-time process and doesn’t require renewal.

“Passengers can just place a palm above the scanning machine when entering or exiting a subway station. The ticket gate will open if the palm scan matches the palm print registered voluntarily,” said Zhang Li, an expert at the Beijing Metro Network Control Center.

The biometric method combines the use of palm print and vein mapping, which are different for every individual. Therefore, data masking and encryption(加密) technologies have been applied to protect user information.

Xin Jianhua, general manager of the public service center at WeChat Pay, said palm scans can be gradually used in offices, schools, gyms and restaurants, as it requires no contact and is therefore safer and more efficient. “Currently, it is very useful for the elderly and those who have physical limitations,” he said. “Use of biometric data allows passengers to take subway trains if they do not have cash or when they forget their subway cards,” he added.

8 . Climate change is making a safe, slow adjustment to heat much harder by upending(颠覆)what we’d typically expect as seasons change.

Although late summer can bring more extreme temperatures, early heat waves have a particularly dangerous influence. A large body of research tends to find that early summer heat waves can have higher rates of death compared to later in the season.

There are a few explanations for this phenomenon. One theory is that the most vulnerable populations will fail to fight the higher temperatures at the start of the season, so there are fewer vulnerable people in the more intense heat waves a few months later. A second explanation is the acclimatization(气候适应)effect, since people need time to adjust to heat. How much time a person needs to physiologically adapt depends.

The way we adapt to early season heat isn’t just about physiological changes in our bodies. Behavior makes a difference too, as do policies and infrastructure that help people cope.

The US still has few policies that help protect people from the most extreme summertime heat. Even the protections that exist around heat don’t focus on the vital early season. Besides, the protection measures, where they do exist, don’t typically kick in until after a certain date or when temperatures are above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which is far beyond what some vulnerable populations can handle.

“We barely have enough resources to deal with what’s occurring right now,” said University of Arizona professor of urban planning Keith Ladd. “With climate change, we’re seeing increasing frequency, intensity, and duration of heat waves, so we need to adjust our response.”

9 . Accompanied by commander Jing Haipeng and flight engineer Zhu Yangzhu, Gui Haichao, a university professor who specializes in spacecraft dynamics and control technology for aerospace systems, took off on the Shenzhou–16 spacecraft from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China on May 30th. His long-held dream of flying to space has now become a reality.

Gui grew up in a regular family in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. His interest in aerospace began at the age of 17 when he tuned in to the campus radio and got the news of Yang Liwei’s historic first manned spaceflight for China in 2003.

“I wasted no time in applying,” said Gui, referring to the moment he found that China was recruiting(招收)its first group of payload(载荷) specialists in 2018.

Over the past few years, Gui was trained to handle highly complex equipment carried aboard a space shuttle and to conduct experiments in space.

However, the training initially proved challenging for him.

“I felt intense dizziness and disorientation(迷失方向) after the training, so I added extra exercises, sought guidance from instructors, and adopted some of the training methods used by pilots. Finally, my ability to endure vestibular(前庭的) sensations gradually improved,” said Gui during an interview with China Media Group(CMG).

Gui is a sports enthusiast who finds joy in activities like long-distance running, cycling and swimming. He has consistently maintained a fitness lifestyle.

In May 2018, China started the selection process for the third panel of astronauts for the space station project. In addition to astronauts, this round introduced two new categories: aerospace engineers and payload specialists.

“Such division of responsibilities allows, professionals to effectively manage their respective tasks, ensuring the safety and reliability of large quantity of scientific payloads and experiments during long-duration flights,” said Gui.

“Since entering the application and development phase, the space station has witnessed an increase in the number of scientific experiments,” Gui said, noting that the level of expertise required for specific specialized operations has become more advanced.
