Day Trip to Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is one of those parks whose beauty is not fully recognized by people. It is often only visited for day trips because it is close to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. It is full of elephants, zebras and lions. It also has some super scenery to go with it. You can also see sights such as the Tarangire River.
Tarangire has the second highest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania after the Serengeti and the highest concentration of elephants in the world. It has over 700 lions living there as well as a wide selection of other animals.

I opened my car window and called out "Ma'am! Ma'am!" The only lady in the parking lot looked around until she saw me. "I just wanted to tell how nice you look today," I said. "The colors you have on are beautiful on you." Her face registered surprise for a second, and then she smiled. "Thank you!" she called back. Her final steps to her car seemed lighter, and I smiled to myself.
I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life. When I was in the middle of fighting a battle for my life, I had been confirmed depression, along with anxiety. It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of recovering from this illness. With no cheerleaders in my court, I fought this battle alone. I am proud of the progress I have made thus far. There are times when I thought, if only I had had someone to hold me and say, "Susan, I believe in you. You can do this, and I'll be there every step of the way." I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I'll never know.
So I have made it a point in recent years to praise people, especially women and girls. Instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn't take long, and it's easy. So, I wonder, why don't more people do this? As women, we have learned from our role models to be quiet. We downplay（淡化） our own achievements even when we do receive a rare compliment（恭维）. Now, when I compliment someone and she denies, I say to her, "Just say thank you."
Most women are relieved that they don't have to deny the compliment; they can accept the praise without guilt.
Cheerleading doesn't require any skills. It only takes a few seconds, although you do have to remind yourself to do it. Eventually, it becomes a habit.
Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her. Educators stressed the importance of discipline and obedience (服从) within the classroom, and students were expected to follow very rigid (死板的) standards for behavior and academic performance. The stated goal of this model was to ensure fairness by applying the same expectations; however, the result was that only a few students succeeded while many others were left behind.
When computers and Internet technology entered the classroom a few decades ago, another pattern appeared and progressive educators immediately saw the opportunity to change the way school worked. Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge. Not all educators welcomed this shift（变化）, however, as some believed it took power and responsibility away from the teachers and cheapened the educational experience for learners.
Over the last decade, two distinct camps of educators have emerged（出现）. Tech advocates（支持者） stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can't keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance（过度依赖） on tech limits students' ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world.
Regrettably, the inability of these two parties to find an agreement has prevented the growth of our education system. We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world. If we can't get all our teachers on the same page, then we will be at risk of failing future generations.
In one horrible film plot, AI eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories. In another, large language models (LLMs) of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know-how to create destructive cyberweapons (网络武器).
It is time to think hard about these film plots, not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them. The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative — no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise（成为现实） and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky. Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.
Governments cannot ignore a technology that could change the world deeply. Regulators (监管者) have been too slow in the past, but there is danger in acting hurriedly too. If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.
Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful "frontier" models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the "handful of companies", especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book. A focus on extreme risks is likely to make regulators careful of open-source models, which are freely available and can easily be revised（修改）.
The best that governments can do now is to set up the basic systems to study the technology and its potential risks, and ensure that those working on the problem have enough resources. As AI develops further, regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against, and consequently what the rule book should look like. A fully mature body could eventually take shape. But creating it will take time and reflection.
The voice within can be your internal guidance system toward development and optimism. Having control of your inner voice can be an incredibly powerful tool for creating cycles of positive thinking.
Identify negative thoughts. People who don't believe in themselves can go through life allowing negative thoughts to guide them. To break the dangerous cycle of negative thought patterns, you must first learn how to identify these thoughts. This way, you may be able to replace these with healthy ones.
Choose your friend circle wisely. This is because friends who spend a lot of time together and expose themselves to a similar environment have similar neural (神经的) activity patterns. By surrounding yourself with those who have a positive mindset, your own thought pattern can be positively influenced.
Turn your mindset toward growth. A growth mindset is a belief that your abilities are developable over time. A person with a growth mindset tends to be less likely to suffer from mental health problems than someone with a fixed mindset. They have repetitive thoughts in their heads. However, those who develop a growth mindset show perseverance (毅力) which can guide them toward happiness and success.
When you feel motivated, you react without thinking, which usually ends up with you saying something you may regret. However, by choosing to respond mindfully before reacting, you are exercising control over your thoughts in a healthy way. So next time you notice an intense thought coming up, take a moment to think twice.
A. Keep highly motivated.
B. Choose to reflect rather than react.
C. People with a growth mindset will feel happier.
D. Read on to find how to channel your thoughts positively.
E. You are the average of the five people you spend time with.
F. Write down any negative thoughts that may come into your mind.
G. People with a fixed mindset tend to become stuck in their ways.
After thinking it over for several weeks, I finally decide to say yes to a big life decision. The woman (me) who hasn't 1 a bicycle even once in the past seven years is going to take on a challenge to 2 from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle.
Anyone who knows me will think this is just 3 . I don't enjoy sports challenges. As I am 4 my mid-40s, I am eager to prove my body is still useful and can 5 things. And I want to work towards something bigger 6 the daily travel to and from work.
I have 7 run marathons or done things alike. I just 8 friends on the sidelines when they ran the London Marathon. But in all 9 , there has been an element of
10 when I see their achievements. What I see on their faces when they cross the finish line are the joy and the sense of 11 . They know that they have pushed themselves beyond their limits and done something 12 . Now I am 43 and have a(n) 13 to know what that feels like.
Now it is the perfect time to 14 something more than the classes in the local gym, or a jog around the park and show what I can do. So I'm 15 to jump on a bike again as long before and take to the road.
Pan Yuzhen, a master of embroidery (刺绣), was embroidering flying butterflies and flowers with her back a window, saying, "Foreigners are so fond of our embroidery products
they even queue up just to buy one for their families. I never (think) the traditional skills handed down by my ancestors would become so (market) abroad."
"As you can see, Miao embroidery is not only the (proud) of our Miao people, but that of our Chinese people," Pan said, wants to pass her embroidery skills down to the younger generation, hoping that they can continue to promote the unique skills. Now, almost all families in Taijiang County together with Pan (involve) in the Miao costume business.
Zhang Yanmei, Pan's daughter, having difficulty (walk) like normal people, has taken over her mother's business and helped her run a clothing processing plant. Zhang also serves as the chairwoman of an association for the (physical) disabled, helping them to grow special plants used for dyeing (给……染色) cloth and instructing（指导） some of them (complete) Miao embroidery orders. Today, the Miao embroidery industry has become a major distinctive industry in Taijiang County.
In a small community located at a suburb of Exeter, a disappointing issue had been troubling the neighborhood for years. The once pleasant surroundings were ruined by piles of waste that seemed to increase greatly in amount with each passing day. Residents（居民） were growing tired of the worsening environment, leading many to leave their homes in search of cleaner neighborhoods. It was in this terrible situation that two young students, Emma and Mia, decided to take matters into their own hands.
Emma and Mia were classmates and best friends from Phillips Exeter Academy, both passionate about environmental preservation and deeply concerned about the pollution crisis their community was facing. Witnessing more and more neighbours' leaving, they knew they couldn't stand by any longer. Determined to bring about a change, they undertook a mission that would soon catch the attention of the entire community.
Their journey began with thorough research and planning. The two girls searched carefully on the Internet for information on environmental initiatives (计划；措施) and connected with local environmentalists. They organized meetings with residents to understand the issues at hand, collecting data on the types of waste, the sources, and the areas most affected. Armed with this knowledge, Emma and Mia worked out a comprehensive plan and announced it to ask for opinions from the residents. Surprisingly it was strongly supported.
Their strategy was twofold. First, they started a waste classification and recycling program. They distributed recycling bins (回收箱) to every household and taught the community about the importance of responsible waste management. Soon, the streets began to show signs of improvement as the volume of garbage inappropriately（不恰当地） thrown away decreased gradually.
The second part of their plan was more ambitious. Emma and Mia gathered volunteers from their school and the neighborhood to take part in a massive clean-up campaign. Armed with gloves and trash (垃圾) bags, they began systematically clearing the waste from the streets, parks, and even the local bodies of water. Their firm commitment and hard work inspired others to join the cause.
