As part of his role in the Air Force Volunteer Reserve, John Lewis often visited military schools. But it was at a London school in 2014 that an accident happened. He had 11 operations in total and it was two years before he could walk again.
Although John improved physically, he couldn't recover from what had happened. John was diagnosed with post-traumatic(创伤后)stress disorder (PTSD), but none of the treatment seemed to help. Then last year, at a hospital, a doctor told him a puppy(小狗)could manage stress and might help with his anxiety.
In May 2019, they adopted a black puppy called Gibson. He says, "I'd never thought of it as a comfort. After just a few weeks, I could feel myself improving. If I was feeling anxious, he would jump up on the sofa and sit on my chest and I found that really relaxing and comforting. Wherever I go, he will follow me and it's really helpful to my anxiety. We go out and play Frisbee(飞盘)and I now look forward to going out for walks while I would always make excuses to stay in the house before."
His wife Anna has also noticed a difference. She says, "Gibson is an incredible dog that adores John. He is a fantastic companion. It has given him a focus and a lease on life."
John is now taking part in Generation Pup, a groundbreaking study that tracks puppies through adulthood to learn how their early experiences and environment affect their development. John says, "I really enjoy tracking this through the study, watching his personality begin to grow and support me on my road back to mental health, which he is playing a big part in." "Gibson has done so much for me in a short space of time. I want to do something for him."
When you are sitting in the car, do you ever notice the drivers looking over their shoulders or side to side in the car? Well, they are doing this to check their blind spots! Blind spots make driving extremely difficult and increase the potential for car accidents.
Fourteen-year-old Alaina Gassier from Pennsylvania noticed her mother struggling with blind spots while driving their family car. So she came up with an ingenious solution that won the first place and $ 25,000 in the Broadcom Masters Competition.
Blind spots are the areas around the car that cannot be directly observed by the driver. There are two kinds of blind spots-on the back of the car that cannot be seen with mirrors, and blind spots at the front of the car as well.
When a driver is changing lanes, he has to look over his shoulder through the side windows to make sure that there is no vehicle in the blind spot. This invisible area is big enough to hide a car!
The other blind spot is created in the front by the A-pillar(柱子)-the material on either side on the windshield(挡风玻璃)that holds the glass and forms the frame of the car. In some cars, this pillar can be quite thick. Usually, people or cyclists can be hidden by this pillar.
Alaina's design was to get rid of the blind spot created by the front A-pillar of the car, the one that helps hold up the windshield.
She put a camera on the outside passenger side of the car which then sent the photos to a projector above the driver's head. Then, she covered the inside of the pillar in a reflective fabric onto which the image was projected. Basically, her device made the pillar "see through" and removed the blind spot on that side of the car.
Alaina's solution is very creative and could be improved by using LCD displays that will make it easier to see during day time as well.
An estimated 60 percent of cats and 50 percent of dogs in the U. S. are overweight or obese, so chances are that your pet needs to lose weight rather than pack on some pounds. It's not always easy to tell if your pet could afford to lose a few, but there are some other signs that can tip you off. One important factor: the waist. "Most people don't know what a normal cat should look like," says Routine. "But cats should have waists, too." The vet says you should be able to feel your pet's ribs(肋骨)through its coat, and when you look down at them, they should have an hourglass (沙漏) shape-just like a person.
"For some overweight pets, you may want to switch to a new food entirely; foods with 'light' or 'healthy weight' labels usually have an increased fiber content to help the dog or cat feel fuller," Romine notes. "Another option is to feed them less of the food they currently cat," Freeman suggests. "Make sure you're reducing table scraps(残羹剩饭)and high-calorie treats like pet biscuits," she says.
It's important to figure out what your pet's ideal weight is as you're helping them to lose. Romine advises working with your vet to get the right number, and if you're following the portion guidelines often printed on food labels, feed them the amount of food associated with the weight you want them to be, rather than the weight they currently are.
Food isn't the only factor that can impact your pet's weight. Ronine stresses the importance of exercise in keeping your pet healthy. For cats, just 10 minutes of indoor play each day can make a difference. For dogs, letting them out in the backyard to do their business is not enough. You'll have to exercise with your dog to really get them moving.
Some students find themselves constantly in trouble with attention at school.If you have trouble paying attention. Sitting still, and are getting constantly called out by your teacher, you can still learn to follow the rules and channel your energy into becoming a better student.
If you have trouble paying attention and staying on task, changing your attitude can help a lot. Try to use your imagination to make the task cooler and more fun. It might sound stupid, but pretending your schoolwork is fun can actually make it fun.
Take notes. One great way to keep yourself focused on the class topics and the lesson is to take notes. Even if you'll be provided with a review, or you don't eventually need the information for the test, if you struggle to pay attention, focus on writing down the important things the teacher says.
Be prepared for class. You can't stay focused if you don't have all the necessary supplies ready, and you're in your seat on time. There's nothing worse for your classroom reputation than forgetting your math textbook, or having to ask for a pencil or a piece of paper that you forget to bring.
Get involved in the class discussions.Raise your hand if you know the answer, and talk during discussions in class if they're going on.
Just like changing your attitude about enjoying your classes, making an active choice can be an important first step in actually getting better grades.
A. Motivate yourself to improve your grades.
B. Use your imagination and decide to like the topics.
C. Taking notes can also help you improve your writing skills.
D. If you're not active during class, try to change your habits.
E. There are so many factors to make you unfocused, and you aren't alone!
F. This will help you stay focused and you'll have something to refer to later.
G. Seeing the results of your hard work, you might become more confident in the class.
There I stood with tears in my eyes. I looked at a face which was so1that I might mistake it for my own. I stared at her in2. It felt like a dream. I hugged her; she was real.

On Dec. 22, the couple-Charlotte Curtis is 105; John Henderson is 106-will celebrate their 80th wedding anniversary. The Guinness World Records have recognized the longevity of their love by naming the Hendersons the(old) living married couple.
It all started in a zoology class in 1934. Students were(seat) in the lecture tiered hall, and John Henderson, 21, sat(direct) behind Charlotte Curtis. When he looked down, he liked the shy 20-year-old girl he saw in front of him. "I thought he was just a fine fellow, and I didn't mind his(look) over my shoulder," Charlotte told The Washington Post in an interview. John and Charlotte(marry) in a tiny ceremony-only two guests were present on Dec. 22, 1939.

So, after 80 years, do they still argue,have they figured it all out? No, they don't argue.

I had a wonderful summer holiday. Before the holiday, I have spent a lot of effort and time prepare for the College Entrance Examination. However, a good rest needed after the hard study of three years. I did many kinds of relaxed activities, such as going to the park, riding a bike, playing sports, etc. Besides, I took a boat trip along the Three Gorges Dam, that I had been dreaming about for in a long time. And I read variety books about college life in our local library to get much knowledge. I also took part in some social activities active and found a part time job so that I could learn more about society. What meaningful the holiday was!
