The hero in my heart is an ordinary bus driver, who did what he could save the lives on the bus.

In a cold morning, he was driving on the freeway while he had a sudden heart attack. He bears the great pain to brake the bus with perseverance. Finally, he was pulled up on the emergency lane, bring 54 passengers back from the death line. Therefore, he was unconscious and lost his life.

He is a common individual, but did a awesome deed. It is due to his strong sense of responsibilities that he saved lives at that urgent moment. He set a good example to me and what he inspires myself in my life is the spirit of being devoted to others.

Inspired by Chinese jade ornaments (玉饰), the     1     (office) medals of the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games made an impressive debut (亮相) on Tuesday, 100 days from the start of the gala event.

After months of anticipation, the organizing committee of the Beijing 2022 Games introduced the medals — tong xin,     2     means togetherness. Inspired by yu bi,     3     ancient Chinese jade artifact    4     (date) back 5,000 years, each medal has carvings of the Olympic rings at     5     (it) heart. The concentric rings around the center of the medals represent the pursuit of unity and harmony, common in Chinese culture, while echoing (呼应) the Olympic values of solidarity and promoting peace. Cloud patterns, an element used on the torch of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, snowflakes and ice markings fill the outer rings. The other side of the medals has the Beijing 2022 emblem at the center. The outer rings     6     (dot) with 24 stars, representing the 24th edition of the Winter Olympics.     7    (visual), it looks quite simple and plain     8     first glance,     9     details such as the carving of clouds and snowflake patterns as well as the uneven casting on the surface have made it special.

Drawing inspiration from jade for a second time honors the Chinese capital’s unique status as the first city    10     (host) both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

6 . It’s possible that your phone’s face-unlock might finally be able to work while you’re wearing a mask. Researchers have found that facial recognition algorithms are getting better at recognizing faces in masks, according to data published on Tuesday by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Using independent testing of more than 150 separate facial recognition algorithms, the new report suggests masks may not be as big a problem for facial recognition systems as initially thought.

When NIST first examined masks’ effect on facial recognition in July 2020, it found that algorithms weren’t great at identifying faces with masks. “Face recognition can make errors, which can implicate people for crimes they haven’t committed,” writes the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). “It is particularly bad at recognizing African Americans and other ethnic minorities, women, and young people.” But the pandemic has given developers plenty of time to focus on the mask problem, and NIST’s data shows that facial recognition algorithms are getting better at working with masked faces. “After the pandemic, some developers have submitted algorithms which show significantly improved accuracy and are now among the most accurate in our test,” the report reads. NIST’s public ranking for facial recognition tests bears out this report. Eight different algorithms now hold false rates below 0.05 percent.

Nevertheless, there remain a number of limitations to the study. NIST researchers did not employ actual images of masked faces. Instead, they applied masks digitally to ensure consistency across the sample. As a result, “We were not able to get a thorough simulation of the endless variations in color, design, shape, texture, and ways masks can be worn,” the report states. The digital mask was a blue surgical mask covering the full width of the face, but testers noted that performance varied considerably depending on how high the mask was placed on the face.

7 . Most people agree that eating healthy food is important. But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now，there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience.

Open Table app

Open Table app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurants available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations(预定) ，which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.

Max McCalman's Cheese&Wine Pairing app

Wine and cheese can be a great combination. But which wines go best with which cheeses? Max Me Calman's Cheese&Wine Pairing app can help. It provides information about hundreds of different cheeses and suggests wines to pair with each. Max McCalman's Cheese&Wine

Pairing app is free.

HappyCow app

Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups. Users can search for vegetarian-vegan restaurants and stores around the world.

LocalEats app

Restaurant chains, like McDonalds，can be found almost anywhere a person might travel. But sometimes travelers want to eat like locals. The LocalEats app is designed for that. It can help you find local restaurants in major cities in the US and in other countries. It costs about a dollar.

Where Chefs Eat app

“Where Chefs Eat” is a 975-page book. Most people would not want to carry that around. But there is a much lighter app version of the same name for just$15. Six hundred chefs provide information on 3,000 restaurants around the world on the Where Chefs Eat app.

8 . Born after 1996 on the heels of the millennials（千禧一代），Generation Z（Gen Z）is just entering the workforce. Its members are the first true digital natives, and their ability to adapt to an automating workplace will likely determine their success. "Soft" skills such as intellectual insight, flexibility and creativity will be essential for workers to compete with machines that are growing more technically skilled.    1    

Be an effective strategic communicator. Some employers fear that digital native workers might be too much like the robots they are competing with.     2     It's good communication skills that make them noticeable. Those in technology fields often work remotely or in relative isolation, so they do not always get enough time to sharpen their interpersonal skills. However,Gen Z should not ignore the importance of relationship building, listening, communicating and teamwork.

    3    While most of Gen Z is still in school, they already need to think about how to continually adapt to a fast-changing world. To succeed, they must be realistic about their skills and how desired skill sets will change. For example, graduates might be trained in Microsoft Excel, but a job might require them to learn how to interpret that data.

    4    Nearly half of the Gen Z said they had experienced job burnout in the past year, according to a survey.    5     Workers are at their best when doing something meaningful to them, said Obed Louissaint, vice president of talent at IBM. To avoid burnout, young people should couple finding purpose with taking proper mental breaks and trying to build healthy habits, Louissaint added.
