It's a dream come true for many fans to get a close view of their favorite stars and take pictures withHowever, sometimes their enthusiasm can cause troubles for others.
At Hong Kong International Airport on Dec. 15, three young Chinese people boarded a Korean Aircraft.
The three people -two from the Chinese mainland and one from Hong Kong — were fans of Wanna One, a Korean band, who were on the same flight. However, immediately after taking pictures with their "idols (偶像),the fans asked to get a repayment and got off the plane.They had to go through security checks again, which delayed the flight by over an hour.
According to the flight regulations, all passengers need to get off and go through security checks once again even if only one passenger gels off the plane before takeoff.
Cases of crazy fans buying flight tickets just to follow and get a close view of their idols are common nowadays, reported CGTN. A series of rules were issued in July in order to stop crazy fans from disturbing public security at the airport.
"However, it shouldn't go too far and hurt the public interest. To obey public rules is the best way to follow idols," commented People's Daily.
A. To make up for the loss, a sizable amount of money went to 357 passengers.
B. As a result, all the remaining 360 passengers had to get off the plane.
C. This is in case any dangerous things have been left on the flight.
D. It's not unusual for fans and stars to share the same flight.
E. Some fans will do anything they can lo realize the dream.
F. It wanted to fly from Hong Kong to the capital Seoul.
G. There's nothing wrong with going after idols.
When the morning sun looks in through your bedroom window, do you jump out of bed? Or do you roll over and groan? Enough sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!
A good night's sleep doesn't just happen. You need to prepare for it. First, go to bed at the same time every day, and get up at the same time. If you
haven't gotten a good night's sleep, don't oversleep the next morning. Get up at your regular time. Sleeping late for just a couple of days can change your body clock to a different cycle. You don't want that if you have a set daily schedule!
Also, avoid big meals at night. Your stomach works hard to digest those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.
Your body produces a chemical called melatonin (褐黑色素) that helps you sleep. Light affects the amount of melatonin your body makes . So at night turn off your TV and computer. Also, don't read from a backlit device like an iPad. Some scientists think that the light from those devices stops your body from making melatonin.
Maybe you can't sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night. Get up and do something relaxing elsewhere. Then go back to bed when you bed when you-feel sleepy. If you worry a lot, make a list of things you need to do the next day. Do that an hour before bed. That way you get your worrying out of the way before you go to bed.
A. It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime.
B. Don't just lie in bed.
C. So stay away from smart phones and iPads.
D. Various experts have given tips to help.
E. You'll be able to face a new day after a good night's sleep.
F. So turn those screens off at least one hour before bedtime.
G. Eating heavy, rich food within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake.
China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture. In comparison with Western methods, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) adopts a vastly different approach. For thousands of years, Chinese people have accumulated rich experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique medical theory under the guidance of ancient Chinese philosophies (哲学).
The core behind TCM is that the human body's life is the consequence (结果) of the balance between Yin and Yang. Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and Yin is the inner base to store and provide energy. When the balance between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.
One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法) means insertion of needles into superficial (表面的) structures of the body—usually at acupoints (穴位)—to restore the Yin Yang balance. It is often accompanied by moxibustion (艾灸疗法), which involves burning mugwort on or near the skin at an acupoint.
The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is practiced today is The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM and is considered the fundamental and most representative medical text in China.
Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles. And TCM is gradually gaining worldwide recognition. The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to more than 180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies. In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been back in the news for its effectiveness in improving the cure rate of the COVID-19 since its outbreak in January 2020.

If you find yourself checking your phone first thing in the morning, if you find you're text-messaging while driving, checking your phone instead of working on an important assignment—you are addicted.
Don't worry. The new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smartphone, but it does nothing. It's just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.
NoPhone is currently a prototype(手机模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover the production and marketing costs.
Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he had the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhone of their own, so that's when the three friends decided to raise money for mass production.
David H said,“ I used to sleep with my phone in my hand, but my night errors would cause me to throw it across the room in an unconscious panic. With the NoPhone, I can still enjoy the comfort of holding a phone in my sleep, without waking up to a shattered screen, thanks, NoPhone.”
If you're interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to takeselfies anymore, don't worry. The makers do have an update at no extra charge—the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when they're standing right behind you.
Most people who own iPhones use them as their alarm clocks―making it very easy to check emails one last time before falling asleep and hard to ever feel away from work and social networks.
Several years ago, my boss fainted due to exhaustion after staying up late to catch up on work. She banged her head and ended up with five stitches (缝针) and became what she calls a "sleep evangelist (传教士)." Now she leaves her phone charging in another room when she goes to bed and encourages her friends to do the same.
"I sent all my friends the same Christmas gift―a lovely alarm clock―so they could stop using the excuse that they needed their very attractive iPhones by their beds to wake them up in the morning." she said.
If your phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A 2008 study showed that people exposed to mobile radiation took longer to fall asleep and spent less time in deep sleep. "The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals, components of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are severely affected," the study concluded.
A quarter of young people feel like they must be available by phone around the clock, according to a Swedish study that linked heavy cellphone use to sleeping problems, stress and depression. Unreturned messages carry more guilt when the technology to deal with them lies at our fingertips. Some teens even return text messages at midnight.
Most of us choose not to set limits on our nighttime availability. Nearly three quarters of people from the age of 18 to 44 sleep with their phones within reach, according to a 2012 Time poll. That number falls off slightly in middle age, but only people aged 65 and older are leaving the phone in another room as common as sleeping right next to it.

Healthy Habits That Stick
Here are five rules that helped me develop good habits.
◆Pick habits you honestly want to have
I didn't choose habits I thought I should add because of what anyone else was doing. It was about listening to myself.
◆Build your habits in your own way
When I started to build up an exercise routine, I only went when I wanted to go. For me, that was around 2 p. m. every day. If I wanted to do 20 minutes on the bike, I'd do only 20 minutes and then leave.
◆Start small
I knew that if I tried to take on too much, I'd find a way to make an excuse. I started with two minutes of exercise, which were finally built up to 10, then 20 minutes. I realised that just doing something, no matter how small, meant I was more likely to do it again the next day.
◆Bekind to yourself
When I got a cold and missed several days of exercise, I didn't beat myself up. Instead of punishing myself, I tried to love myself—and that had a more enjoyable and lasting effect.
◆Celebrate every small victory
When I began keeping a diary every morning, I put a number in the corner of each page to show how many diaries I had written. Finally, after I filled up a notebook, I celebrated buying a new notebook.
A. If I missed a day, I let it go.
B. I can make exercise less boring.
C. So my daily purposes were very small.
D. I celebrated my pen running out of ink.
E. It wasn't about keeping up with other people.
F. I should celebrate my success with my friends.
G. It also meant that I would do whatever I wanted to do once I got there.
While 1 was sitting in the living room, the days that I spent with my mom crowded in on me. We had a very Tom and Jerry relationship. She was a strict trainer; I was naughty. She would ask me to buy groceries, and I wouldn't come right home because I'd be using the change from the milk and bread to play video games at the supermarket. I loved video games. I was a master at Street Fighter. I could go forever on a single play. I'd drop a coin in, time would fly, and the next thing 1 knew there'd be a woman standing behind me with a belt. It was a race. I'd take off out the door and through the dusty streets of Eden Park, climbing over walls. It was a normal thing in our neighborhood:
Everyone knew: The child would come through like a bat out of hell, and his mom would be right there behind him. She could go fast in high heels, but if she really wanted to come after me, she'd kick her shoes off while still going at top speed. She'd do this strange move with her ankles and the heels would go flying and she wouldn't even miss a step. When 1 was little she always caught me, but as I got older I got faster. So it was not easy for her to catch me.
Paragraph 1: When speed failed her, she used her wisdom.
Paragraph 2: If given a chance, I would let my mom run in front of me.
改错:Next time that I plan to travel in London, I'm going to take a plane.
