4 . There is a strong smell that comes off Ratna Raju’s farm in the southeastern Andhra Pradesh state of India. The smell comes from a mixture of natural materials, like cow waste and untreated sugar. The natural materials help grow and protect crops in an area often hit by extreme weather and heat.
Farmers like Raju say natural materials protect their crops from climate change because the soil can hold more water. And they stress the crops’ stronger roots help plants deal with strong winds. Supporters say natural farming is successful in the state because of government support. Now, these methods should be spread across India’s agricultural lands. Without government support for natural farming, most Indian farmers still use farm chemicals and fertilizers. That puts them at risk when extreme weather hits. Many farmers are calling for greater state investment to help them deal with climate change.
Last December, a storm brought heavy rainfall across India’s southeastern coast. It flooded towns and fields. Early studies showed more than 240,000 hectares of crops were destroyed in Andhra Pradesh state.
Raju said the rainwater on their farms flowed into the ground in one day. The soil can take in more water because it is less solid than soil with farm chemicals. Soil with farm chemicals is dry. He added that planting different crops throughout the year helped keep the soil healthy. However, Raju’s neighbor, Srikanth Kanapala, said his farm was flooded for four days after the storm. Kanapala often uses farm chemicals and fertilizers on his farm. And he said seeing Raju’s crops held strong while his crops failed made him want to learn about other farming methods.
Kanapala expected a potential financial hemorrhage of up to $600 as a consequence of the storm, a sum that constituted a significant economic burden for a farmer in India. “For the next planting season, I plan to learn from other farmers to give up farm chemicals,” he said.

5 . A charity club, funded entirely by a man, was established in Chengdu in the early 2000s. It first served as a “home away from home” for rural students attending a sports school in neighboring Aba Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture.
The club provided free meals and accommodation as well as training facilities. Gradually, it became known as a Wushu school for children from rural areas and began to attract a steady flow of students, especially from underdeveloped areas in Sichuan.
Some children had already dropped out of school before joining the club, the funder revealed to media in 2017. As these students could not be officially registered as residents of Chengdu, they were not qualified to attend public schools there. Consequently, he employed four teachers to teach academic subjects in the students’ spare time such as on nights and weekends.
A boy, born in Aba in 1999, joined the club in 2009. Before that, he was in third grade at a local elementary school. His father passed away before he was born, and the family had been struggling economically ever since. He heard about the club from his headmaster and decided to go there.
Starting from scratch, the boy spent two years getting ready to represent the club in Sanda competitions. In 2015, the club introduced MMA (综合格斗) and he switched from Wushu Sanda to MMA in 2015 and won his first match at a competition run by Henan TV. “I was not sure whether I was suitable for Wushu when I first joined the club,” he told news media in May 2021. “But when I raised my arms and shouted in happiness after winning the match, I knew immediately that MMA was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”

9 . How to Talk Without Offending (冒犯) Anyone
If you feel like conversations are a potential minefield and you’re worried about unintentionally offending someone, you’re not alone. Here are some ways for you to avoid offending others.
THINK before you speakTHINK is an acronym (首字母缩略词) that stands for the 5 things any constructive criticism should be: True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind.
This approach lets the person know what to do in the future.
Words that you have no problem with might be hurtful to others. Usually, when you’re talking to someone, you don’t know what experiences they’ve had or what trauma they’ve gone through. If someone is hurt by something you’ve said, accept that—don’t question it or insult them over it.
Accept people with an open mindShow that you’re willing to listen to other ideas and viewpoints. Not everybody is going to agree with you and there’s nothing wrong with that.
If you do offend someone, learn from your mistake. It takes courage for someone to stand up for themselves when they’re offended by something someone else said.
A.Respect each person’s individuality |
B.Avoid forcing your feelings on others |
C.As the saying goes, look before you leap |
D.Pointing out what someone did wrong is often not necessary |
E.Use this acronym to plan what you’ll say before tough conversations |
F.Listen to others and try to understand why people think the way they do |
G.Tell them you’re sorry that you didn’t intend to hurt them, and that it’ll never happen again |
