Any 25th birthday is a cause for celebration. But it was even more so for Janus, a two-headed Greek tortoise (龟). Living in the Natural History Museum of Geneva, Switzerland, Janus is now believed to be the world's oldest two-headed tortoise. The museum celebrated the special occasion with a day-long party filled with fun events, which included taking photos with the birthday "boy".
In the wild, Greek tortoises can live up to two hundred years in their natural habitat. However, two-headed tortoises, like Janus, usually do not survive for that long. Unlike normal tortoises, they are unable to take back their two heads into their shell, making them highly easy to be attacked.
Janus, who has spent his entire life in the museum, faces no such danger. But life is not without challenges for the two-headed tortoise who also has two hearts and two pair s of lungs. Each head controls the front and back legs on its side of the body. The right head is more curious and more awake. The left head is more passive and loves to eat. This can lead to confusion when the two heads decide to go in different directions. To make matters worse, the two heads frequently rub against each other, resulting in skin sores (溃疡). Janus also has a hard time rolling back onto his feet when he accidentally turns over. If left on their backs for too long, tortoises can get sunburned, dehydrated (脱水的) and even die.
Fortunately, Janus has a special caregiver, Angelica Bourgoin, to make sure he lives along and health y life. The tortoise receives a daily massage and is bathed in green tea and flower water. He eats a special diet of organic fruits and vegetables, keeps active with walks, and rides on his custom skateboard. With such loving care, the two-headed tortoise will surely continue to break many more records for long life.
Mounting evidence suggests that longtime sitting — a main part of modern-day life — is risky to your health, even if you exercise regularly. Based on these findings, doctors advise all adults to sit less and move more. But how often do we need to get up from our chairs? And for how long?
Few studies have compared multiple options to come up with the answer most office workers want: What is the least amount of activity needed to counteract the health effects of a workday filled with sitting?
Now a study by Columbia University exercise physiologists has an answer. Unlike other studies that test one or two activity options, the study tested five different exercise "snacks", or short bursts of activity after a period of time's sitting: one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute after 60 minutes, five minutes every 30, five minutes every 60 and no walking.
The proper amount of movement, the researchers found, was five minutes of walking every 30 minutes. This was the only amount that greatly lowered both blood sugar and blood pressure. In addition, this walking routine had an impressive effect on how the participants responded to large meals, reducing blood sugar spikes (峰值) by 58% compared with sitting all day. Taking a walking break every 30 minutes for one minute also provided modest benefits for blood sugar levels throughout the day, while walking every 60 minutes, either for one minute or five minutes, provided no benefit.
What we know now is that for best health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine. While that may sound impractical, the findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the work day can greatly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic (慢性的) illnesses.
Chinese astronauts entered a new laboratory that arrived at the country's orbiting space station in 2022. The Wentian lab module (舱) launched Sunday aboard a Long March-5B Y3 rocket from a Chinese space center on the southern island of Hainan, official media reported in 2022. The flight lasted 13 hours. The module is the second of three that will complete the country's Tiangong space station.
Chinese officials said they expected the space station to be fully operational by the end of 2022. Three Chinese astronauts who began a six-month stay on the space station in June oversaw the Wentian lab's arrival and connection to the main module. The orbiting labs are designed to permit astronauts to carry out scientific and biological experiments and test new technologies.
Fully completed, the station is designed to house up to six astronauts at a time. The astronauts aboard the space station included commander Chen Dong and team members Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe.
Hours after the arrival of the module, state broadcaster CCTV showed video of the astronaut s floating inside the new lab. CCTV described the launch and linking operation as "a complete success". China's state-run Global Times newspaper reported that the 23-ton Wentian lab is heavier than any other single module spacecraft currently in space. The module serves as the main entry and exit point for future space vehicle activities.
The completed Tiangong structure is about one-fifth the size of the International Space Station (ISS), Reuters news agency reported. The space station project marks the latest step forward for China's space program.
Previously, China successfully landed a spacecraft on Mars. The Tianwen-1 spacecraft carried a robotic explorer, called Zhurong. The explorer, or rover, is expected to measure atmospheric conditions and magnetic forces during its search for signs of ancient life on Mars.

Remote learning (远程学习) was challenging for us, especially for a teacher like me. I do not like to 1 in the school building. We are often looking for field 2 or any reason to get out of the building, whether that's a community walk or going through the 3 in D. C. So one thing that I wanted to 4 was experiential learning opportunities. That's 5 through a virtual setting, but I thought of a way to solve it. I started to 6 museums myself and take pictures. One day I walked around the museum with my laptop and 7 students to see where we would go if we were in-person through live streaming. You'd be surprised — they were rather 8 .
A lot of my students' parents were first 9 or were on the front lines, so my students' siblings (兄弟姐妹) were also watching and trying to get their own 10 . Therefore, I'd be talking to my students and their younger siblings in the background. I learned all their names and their 11 names. I'd call attendance (考勤) and 12 all of them — snakes, dogs, cats, everybody — were there. And they were so excited, 13 the ones that didn't turn on their 14 at first. They'd say, "Ah, Mr. Dias, you didn't say hi to Pinky, my dog who's right here." We did anything and everything to keep them 15 for those entire eight hours of the day.

A first haircut can often be scary for little kids. Seeing a stranger coming over you with a pair of scissors for the very first time can often leave children with a wrong first impression of something that most of us go through on a regular basis.
In a recent video shared by a barber (理发师), Jad Srour, attracted people's special attention. In the video, Jude, a young boy of about four or five years old, could be seen experiencing his very first haircut. When the barber put the scissors to his hair, the boy couldn't keep the tears any longer. As soon as Jude broke into tears, his mom, obviously feeling her son's fear, was in tears as well. The barber stopped for a while so that the boy's mom could try to calm him down. After the mom finally calmed her boy down, the barber continued though the boy still wasn't entirely happy with his situation. Surprisingly, once the barber cut the boy long hair down, the young boy smiled, and the eyes focused on the hair and shone with tears.
The video of Jude's haircut quickly spread. After seeing the boy's reaction to having his long hair cut off, many social media users took to criticize (批评) the boy's parents for putting him through something that obviously hurt him mentally.
Considering how upset the little boy seemed when the barber touched his hair, many users wondered whether the boy wanted to cut his hair. One person commented, "Why did he have to cut his hair when he was clearly in pain about it?" Other users even wondered why Jude's parents let his hair get as long as it did. They even wrote, "Why let it get uncontrollably long?" "What a horrible thing to do to a child. Shameful." Many comments seemed to be negative.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Then Jad told the story behind online.
When Jude was just born, his parents happened to know on TV that many kids with cancer had lost their hair.
