4 . Experienced⁃Based Education

Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches.   This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.    1    

Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.

    2     And we are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.

High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.    3    

To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive⁃in movie（or some other entertainment event that is new to you）.    4    

These types of experiences often result in very little“book knowledge”.   Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.    5     It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others. Becoming a well ⁃ rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential.

5 . Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world. They range from the 1960s Nubian campaign to safeguard Ancient Egyptian monuments from the waters of the Aswan Dam to the removal in 2018 of the Belize Barrier Reef from the List of World Heritage in Danger. Conservation is the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge.

The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable (可持续性) development. A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001, the World Heritage Committee (WHC) expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien-Mitte project. This development project, close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site’s buffer zone, the one that lies between two or more other areas, affected the urban scale (规模) and visual effects in and around the property (地产). As a result of the Committee’s concerns, Vienna changed its building codes and launched a new design competition for the Wien-Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with World Heritage protection.

The successful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on World Heritage and contemporary architecture, held in Vienna in May 2005. The global discussion that followed, detailing an approach to managing conservation and development, was recorded in the UNESCO Recommendation in 2011.

The Recommendation put forwards an all-rounded and combined approach to balancing urban heritage (遗产) conservation and economic development, arguing that active protection and management of urban heritage supports the goal of sustainable development.

The Recommendation supports the harmonious combination of contemporary involvement into the historic urban framework while holding on to values linked to history, memory and the environment.

6 . Nailed it

Last July, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail（指甲）salon with the idea of doing her nails. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy（大脑性瘫痪），was ___________ The salon, she says, told her that they were afraid it would be _______difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands _______ What was meant to be a day of beauty happiness for Peters was now a __________

______ the interaction from a few feet away was a Walmart cashier（收银员）about to go on her _______ . Ebony Harris, 40, _______ in Peters, a Walmart regular, a similar spirit. "She's a girlie girl," Harris told ABC 12 of Flint, Michigan. "She'^,s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody. She wants to look _________ So why can't she?"

Harris _____ Peters. "Do you want me to do your nails?" she asked. A smile _____ across Peters's face. "Yeah!" They shopped for nail polish and __________on a bright blue — a statement color that would catch every eye. They then made their   ______ into a neighboring Subway, and found a table for two. Harris __ took Peters's hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.

"I was a little nervous and was shaking too because I didn't want to ____ her nails up," Hams admitted to ABC News. "I told her she's a blessing to us , to anybody, not _____ me. She makes me look at life and appreciate it much ______ than I have."

Watching it all with ______ was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness _____ by Harris as she painted Peters's nails, all the while chatting ______ they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook." She was so __ with her," she wrote. " Thank you to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl's day!”

7 . China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing the need to keep lab monkeys and paving the way for more accurate, effective, and affordable animal tests for new drugs .

By December of 2017, Chinese scientists had created two clone macaques named "Zhong Zhong" and "Hua Hua" by nuclear transferring of somatic cells -- any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells. This was the similar technology used to create the famous clone sheep Dolly in 1996.

"Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate（灵长类）that shares its genetic makeup, therefore all of its complexity, with humans." Pu Muming said.

"For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly, bad for the environment and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes, " Pu said.

"By cloning monkeys using somatic cells, we can mass produce large numbers of genetically identical（相同的）offspring in a short time, and even change their genes to suit our needs," he added. "This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine."

"This achievement will help China lead the world research in an international science project related to neural（神经的）mapping of primate brains，," he said. However, bio labs from the United States, Japan, and European countries are also very able, and they will quickly catch up to China after the monkey cloning technology is made public, Sun added."This means we have to innovate（创新）continuously and work extra harder this year to stay ahead," he said.
