No pains, no gains. This is especially true for Amanda Gorman. In 2021, she became the youngest poet to write and read her works at a presidential inauguration (就职典礼). The 22-year old impressed the audience with The Hill We Climb, which referred to both painful history and hope for the future.

You wouldn't know it from her delivery of her poem at the inauguration, but up until a few years ago, she struggled to overcome her speech problem. For much of her life, including when she was still an undergraduate at Harvard, Gorman had trouble pronouncing the letter "R".

Her situation presented difficulties, but also had benefits. "I think it made me all that much stronger of a writer when you have to teach yourself how to say words from zero. I think of my speech trouble not as a weakness or a disability, but as one of my greatest strengths. "

To practice saying the letter, she'd listen on repeat to one song packed with "R"s—Aaron Burr, Sir from Lin-Manuel Miranda's historical masterpiece, Hamilton. She would try to keep up with the singer as he was doing the rap (说唱). She believed if she could train herself to do this song, then she could train herself to say the letter "R" correctly. Sure enough, rapping along with Miranda's fast-paced rhymes worked, and: Gorman's performance of her piece, The Hill We Climb, ranked among the highlights of the inauguration.

Overcoming a speech problem is a milestone for her. Gorman said she owes a lot to the Pulitzer Prize winning musical. That was why she included a few references to Hamilton in her inspiring poem, some of which the author of Hamilton noticed: He praised her performance in a post. "You were perfect. Perfectly written, perfectly delivered. "

In the early 1990s, my friend Jay was working for IBM and made a good salary. Later, Jay declined an offer from an interesting but small organization because of the low pay. He has regretted it ever since. That small company was Microsoft.

Regret is a reaction to a disappointing event in your life, such as a choice you made that can't be changed, or something you said that you can't take back. It's a heavy and negative emotion connected to pity, sorrow and helplessness and can last for minutes, days, years or even a lifetime. Regret can increase your stress and throw off the balance of immune (免疫) systems.

Fortunately, regret can be overcome through interventions. As a psychologist at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, I conducted a research on stressful emotions. In the research, we found people would experience regret for action or inaction. The action-related regrets, although painful, stimulate people to learn from their mistakes and move on. But the regret related to the inaction is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety. Avoiding or denying regret only can increase negative feelings and extend the time people suffer with them. Rather than stay stuck, people can manage these emotions in four steps: First, accept the fact that you are feeling them; determine why you are feeling them; allow yourself to learn from them; and finally, release them and move forward.

In Jay's case, at first he pushed away his feelings of regret. He continued to struggle with thoughts of what he missed. He did not change until he approached and explored his feelings of regret. Eventually he accepted the fact and reminded himself of his rationale at the time- he failed to recognize the potential of Microsoft. On making future decisions, Jay recognized the importance of obtaining information about opportunities and challenged himself to learn about the big players in the field. Doing so allowed him to move on and ultimately forgive himself.

When people think of farming today, they usually picture a tractor(拖拉机) rather than horses in the farmland. That's because tractors that relied on engines revolutionized farming in the late 1800 s. Now a new type of tractor can do the same in the 21st century.

Agriculture has been changing dramatically in the last few. decades. The push for innovation is fed by the need to produce larger amounts of food for a growing world population. Autonomous tractors may be the key to solving this challenge. They can be used to carry out labor-intensive (劳动密集型) farming while allowing farmers to do other work. A big plus is that it can increase crop output while reducing costs because the autonomous machines can work in all weather conditions without any rest.

Part of push for automation is a shortage of farm workers due to people's desire to have higher paying jobs with better work conditions. Farm owners are competing against companies like Amazon and restaurants that are raising wages to attract workers. "With labor shortages and the increase in the hourly wages that have to be paid in order to be competitive, all of a sudden automation seems like a more reasonable decision," said David Swartz, a professor at Penn State University.

Many believe the time is ripe for an autonomous revolution because robotics is already in use in agriculture. One. Company that is working to bring autonomous tractors. Into mainstream farming is Blue and White Robotics, an Israeli agricultural technology company, whose mission is to make a fully autonomous farm. The company released an autonomous tractor kit in February 2021 that can be fixed on any existing tractor. The kit includes camera detection, speed controls, as well as an anti-crash system. Blue and White's kit is being used by West Coast growers in the US. It may soon come to a farm near you.

While growing up, your parents probably told you to dress warmly when going outside, or else you'll catch a cold. Now, a cold-water immersion (浸没) movement suggests that exposure to the cold actually does the opposite.

Led by a man named Wim Hof, known by some as the Ice Man, cold water immersion is gaining popularity. You may recognize his name from the documentary The Superhuman World of Wim Hof: The Iceman. Hof's documentary retells how he found himself tragically alone with four children after his wife died in 1995.  One morning, while overlooking a cold stream in the Netherlands, he had the urge to jump in.

Feeling the intensity of that cold, Hof grew the strength to push past physical and mental limitations. He continued his practice of cold immersion alongside meditation (冥想) and breathing techniques. It was through this practice that he discovered the physical and mental health benefits of this combination of breathwork, meditation and cold immersion.

According to a cold-water research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine ， cold water can have physiological effects including an. increased heart rate, faster breathing rate and higher blood pressure. And, a study of 3, 108 people, published in the journal PLoS One, found that people who take cold showers are 29 percent less likely to call in sick. The researchers concluded that cold showers could make the illnesses less severe.

So if you want to obtain the benefits of cold-water immersions, you don't have to start by jumping into an ice bath. Hof's programs often begin with short breathing exercises followed by a 30-second cold shower. And they really could keep the doctor away!

A. Therefore, he started a soul search.

B. It helps prevent you from getting sick.

C. They were sick less than the control group.

D. Besides, it allowed people to do their regular routines.

E. Finally, he could remain under the icy water for minutes.

F. More authorities have confirmed benefits of cold showers.

G. Taking cold-water showers or baths can help feel stronger.

My writing career began quite accidentally. It was all because of my friend Henry.

Born into a poor family, Henry had no chance to attend school. He couldn't read but he liked my reading for him greatly. One day I played a little trick on Henry. I was reading him a story from my textbook. Suddenly I moved away from the story and made up my own, pretending to turn pages regularly. Henry, of course, had no idea at all. Upon finishing the story, Henry began to clap.

"That was the best story you've read me in a long time," he said, still clapping.

I laughed. "Really?"

"It was great. Will you read me more of it tomorrow?"

"Fascinating, "I thought, feeling like a man who discovered a buried treasure in his own backyard. That same night, I tried writing my first short story. It was a story about a man who found a magic cup. If he cried into the cup，his tears turned into pearls (珍珠), but he was a happy man and rarely cried. So he managed to find ways to make himself sad. The story ended with the man sitting on a mountain of pearls, unable to feel happy any longer.

The next day, I ran to Henry after school, asking him to hear the story and told him I wrote it last night. Henry was totally absorbed in it, his face shifting as the story developed.

"Some day, you will be a great writer," Henry said. "And your stories will be read all over the world. But can I ask a question? Why didn't the man just eat some onions to make himself cry to get pearls?" I was shocked because I never expected Henry could be helpful to my writing. I rewrote it and with. Henry s encouragement, I sent it to a magazine. To my surprise, it was published and sold well.
