In May, as our scientific institution began to open back up and whispers about face-to-face lab meetings started to float around, I panicked.

My hearing loss began when I was in graduate school. At first, I fondly thought I could overcome it with hard work. I began to record every one-on-one meeting because even with the strongest focus I just couldn't catch everything, and taking notes is not a choice when you rely on lip-reading. In meetings, I sat in the front row, tiring myself as I strained to both hear the speaker and process the science. So, in the fourth year, I decided cochlear implants(耳蜗植入) were the right next step.

The week after I began to hear with both implants, I attended a conference. I looked over every listening environment to plan my equipment and where I needed to be located during the event. It worked OK — but it was still tiring, and I felt excluded from so much.

When meetings were held online, my experience was much better. The sound quality was clear, without the powerful noises of a physical office space or meeting room. I could sit back and let the sound come to me. It was easier to focus, participate, and think deeply about the science. I felt a sense of belonging. I began to leave seminars feeling refreshed rather than needing a short sleep.

I didn't want to be forced back into struggling to understand. So, with anxiety, I contacted my adviser to make a simple hearing plan which includes asking presenters to use a microphone for our lab meetings. It worked. Now, a few weeks later, my anxiety is gradually giving way to scientific curiosity and questions enabled by feeling included and worthy of belonging. A few of my lab mates have even thanked me because they, too, were unable to hear people without microphones. Maybe instead of rushing back to "normal", we can all take this opportunity to create environments that are more welcoming — for everyone.

In spite of expert opinion that the use of electronic media while doing schoolwork has a negative influence on learning, recent research has found that students believe they won't be affected by the ill effects because they are good multitaskers. Researchers have a name for multitasking — like checking social platforms or watching a TV show while studying. It's known as distracted(注意力分散的) learning and it is on the rise, thanks to the presence of devices.

In a paper published in the Journal of Food Science Education, Shelly J. Schmidt, a professor of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, reviewed previous studies on distracted learning and suggested ways to help students stay engaged and on task.

Schmidt thinks the restrictions or bans set by some schools or colleges are difficult for students to obey and also put technology into the role of "the enemy". "Banning technology use in the classroom suggests to our students that they are children who can't learn to appropriately handle it, rather than young adults we are helping to grow into professionals," Schmidt said.

Schmidt believes there is opportunity in this situation to encourage students and young people in general to develop an internal locus(核心) of control. "Armed with an internal locus of control, students are able to recognize and control things that limit their success, such as distractions while they're trying to learn," she said. According to the studies that Schmidt reviewed, researchers across a range of fields including psychology, cognitive(认知的) science and neuroscience found that media multitasking has a bad influence on both attention and memory when carried out with schoolwork at the same time. Reading comprehension, note-taking ability, test performances and grade point averages all decrease.

Schmidt puts forward other ways to compensate — limiting device time through a work reward system and fostering a "work hard, play hard" mindset to improve brain function and cognitive control. She also favors an environment that promotes active learning, fundamentally removing the need for smartphones and other devices.

More than 11,000 scientists are warning that the Earth, in their words, "clearly and decidedly faces a climate emergency". The scientists represent diverse fields of study and come from countries around the world. They approved a report that appeared in the publication BioScience. The new report, titled "World Scientists' Warning of a Climate Emergency", warned that the world will face "untold human suffering" if it does not make deep and lasting shifts in human activity that influences climate change.

This is the first time a large group of scientists have jointly used the word "emergency" when talking about climate change. "Despite 40 years of global climate negotiations… we have generally conducted business as usual and have largely failed to address this predicament," the report said. "The climate crisis has arrived and is accelerating faster than most scientists expected."

The report identified six areas that the world needs to deal with immediately. The scientists appealed to nations to use energy more efficiently and cut their use of fossil(化石) fuels. They suggested that lawmakers approve taxes on the burning of carbon-based fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. The scientists expressed support for women's rights and "making family planning services available to all people". They said this would help to reduce sudden or unexpected changes in the size of the world population. The report urged people to move toward more of a plant-based diet. Other areas of concern included preventing the destruction of forests and permanent loss of some plant and animal species. The report noted that the public would most likely require politicians to approve lasting policy changes.

The scientists added, "We believe that prospects(前景) will be the greatest if decision makers and all of humanity promptly respond to this warning and declaration of a climate emergency, and act to sustain life on the planet Earth, our only home."

Almost all of us are guilty about spending too much time on our smart devices and not enough time enjoying the world around us. We know that a little bit of truth might be hard to take in and you might be thinking of shutting off your device now out of guilt.  We've got some tips on limiting your screen time so you can improve your quality of life.

● One of the keys to cutting down your screen time is to be disciplined. Picking out a period of time each day to step away from your device is a great way to limit screen time. Of course this won't prevent you from picking up your device. You'd better turn your device off and place it in another room for the amount of time you'd like to stay off of it.

●  Many apps will send you a reminder when it's time to log off. This feature is easy to set up and holds you accountable for managing your time.

● Many devices provide a screen time report for you, which gives you the average hours you spend on your screen. Through the report, you know which apps you are using and how frequently you use them. Monitoring this will help you be aware of the amount of time you spend on your device.

We understand that in the digital age, you need to use your devices for schoolwork. However, we also understand how distracting(令人分心的) they can be. In this way, you're sure to be on the right track for success in your academic and personal life!

A. But wait, don't turn off your device yet!

B. So start managing your screen time wisely.

C. Discipline is a key for you to lock your device.

D. Most devices today have a "Do Not Disturb" setting.

E. It's also necessary to set a time limit for social media use.

F. It will help you better plan for spending less time on it as well.

G. Monitoring screen time reports will help you limit your time online.

When I was still in grade school, my father taught me to fold paper cranes(鹤). As a child, I was totally 1 in the simple paper form that magically moved its wings if I pulled the tail. It's a skill and a memory that has 2 me and that I have taught others. I remember 3 for an awards ceremony for the college where I served as president. We couldn't

"How about paper cranes?" I 5. None of these gifted students had 6 with the way to make them, so they all 7 their first paper-folding lesson from me. Almost everyone got the 8 of it, but much discouragement followed when they saw how 9 I could do as they were still doing clumsily. When we first learn a skill it's often a little 10, until we practice and eventually gain 11.

The teacher needs skill, patience and 12, the students need desire, and the task needs to be meaningful. This process 13 to all education really. Sometimes there is a 14 if the teacher expects the students to progress faster than they are 15 Sometimes the teacher shows strong excitement but the students show no 16.

Learning can be hard, but it can also make us 17 just like caffeine(咖啡因). When we start with young children, setting off those sparks(火花) of 18 and then tending the flame with love as we 19 it, education works. Repetition and gradual development 20 our fully understanding the skills and knowledge.

The Qinling Mountains are one of the most biodiverse mountain ranges. According to an announcement from the Shaanxi government, local authorities (shut) over 200 mines and hydropower(水力发电) plants down in key areas of the Qinling Mountains since an official rule (design) to protect the rich ecosystem went into effect.

The Qinling Mountains (think) to be home to several organisms found only in China. The scenery is amazing there, varying the season and geography. Wang Fang, a conservation biologist at Fudan University, said would be affected by the mine and hydropower projects are not only animals but also the region's climate patterns in the long run. He added such constructions may help the local economy, it shouldn't come at the cost of the environment.

Before the (prohibit) of mining started, a series of activities had damaged its ecosystem. However, Wang was optimistic that the damage could be repaired. Referring to how forest areas (severe) damaged by unregulated logging in the 1990s bounced back, he believed stricter laws could prove (benefit) this time, too. "The species at the Qinling Mountains are quite tough, so maybe we'll see (they) recovery in 20 or 30 years," he said.

One Sunday afternoon, I was reading when a package comes to Mum. Opening it, I found there were an instruction book together with some wooden boards and iron parts for the flower shelf. Mum suggested leaving the work to Dad, but I decided do it myself. After two hours of hard work, I completed it. Mum and I were pleasing and we started putting potted plant onto the shelf. When Dad came back, knowing that I had done, he praised me. At that moment, his feeling of content and pride was beyond description. Beside, this experience taught me that as for a student, I still could do something for my family.
