What are the best careers for the future? Of course, nobody can say for sure what the future holds. The best we can do is make educated guesses based on past and current trends. The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.
1. Organizational disruptor
The expansion of companies often leads to some loss of their innovative ability, which weakens their competitiveness against those more creative start-ups. A disruptor would be responsible for promoting creativity, risk-taking, cooperation, and innovation, by bringing about some changes that might be wild in an organization.
2. Personal education guide
Compared with online programs today, education could be better able to meet individual needs, even with improved convenience. Like an adviser, a personal education guide may assist people with on-demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.
3. Custom body part manufacturer
Doctors may expect custom organs grown or 3D printed using their patients' own cells. After all, scientists' creation of hearts, kidneys, and livers has already had some success in the labs. Even external body parts inclining skin and ears have been grown.
4. Pharmaceutical artisan
The increasing popularity of 3D printing may enable the quick production of customized medications based on individual needs. It's possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one's unique genes, habits, and medical history.
5. Brain implant specialist
We are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works, so it's highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience with the advantages of computer technology. In the future, one can have a specialized computer chip put into his brain to treat certain health issues, such as diseases, mood disorders, and paralysis.
Mohanan, a tractor driver from Ambalavayal, a town in India's Kerala state, has been carrying a stick and an umbrella to work every day, for over a year. It's not that he fears getting attacked by dogs or that he hates rain, but that he needs to defend himself against the crows that always attack him whenever he approaches a bus station where he once picked up two crow hatchlings (刚出壳的雏鸟) from under his tractor and placed them on the side of the road.
The tractor driver recently said that crows nesting in the trees around the bus station always attack him when he drives by. He said he even tried staying away from that place for over a week, but it didn't matter. The crows were waiting for him when he came back. Now he just uses his umbrella and stick for protection, and throws the crows some food to distract them. "I give a share from my lunch to the crows. Once they finish eating it, they will start attacking me again," Mohanan laughingly said, adding that changing his clothes and trying to disguise (伪装) himself didn't work either.
The crows' animosity toward Mohanan had become well known among the local people, and while most find it funny, the tractor driver says the birds can be pretty unkind, so much so in fact that a few months ago they caused severe damage to his new umbrella during an attack.
Interestingly, we featured a similar story just last month. One day, Shiva Kewat, a worker from Madhya Pradesh, claims that he has been attacked by a group of crows for the last three years, ever since he picked up a crow chick on the street.
Frankenstein's monster might be one of the most popular roles people play when celebrating Halloween. But do you know where this impressive image originally comes from?
The creation of Frankenstein dates back to the summer of 1816, when some young people were spending their holiday in Switzerland. Usually, the weather in summer was pleasant, but that summer it rained quite a lot, so for most of the time, the group were trapped in their cottage. They started thinking about entertaining activities to have fun. Finally, they decided to join in the writing competition suggested by Lord Byron: Everyone should write a scary ghost story and share it with others, and the writer of the scariest one would win. During the competition, 18-year-old Mary Shelley came up with the idea of an ugly monster created from human body parts. Two years later, she published her first novel, Frankenstein,
Yet Frankenstein isn't similar to other honor books. In the book, the monster can explain the story from his perspective. Although he is scary, ugly, and violent, he has understandable human emotions, and the book indicates that his violent actions are reasonable. He explains that he becomes cruel and violent because he has been treated cruelly and violently by the scientist who creates him and also the people he meets. The book raises awareness of our responsibilities to other people and also inspires us to put ourselves in others' shoes.
It also talks about an imaginary scientific experiment and its effects, and because of this, it is considered as the first science fiction novel, or the beginning of science fiction as a genre. This means that the novel has probably influenced a lot of science fiction created later. Perhaps without Frankenstein, we wouldn't have the chance to enjoy Edward Scissorhands, Captain America, or Star Wars.
However, I enjoy Frankenstein mostly because it can be interpreted differently. The problems it covers are simple and universal. It can be interpreted as a metaphor (隐喻) for family relationships, human emotions, or individualism, or as a criticism of misuse of science.
Your colleague^ critical comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your friends are trapped in a "he said/she said" battle of wills. You can't shake the anxiety you feel after hearing the latest news. We hear that it's important to acknowledge and work through our emotional reactions to negative events, yet when we do, we sometimes get caught up in cycles of rumination (反刍)—which can make us feel even worse. So, what is the best way to reflect on difficult circumstances without finding ourselves tossed around in an emotional spin cycle?
The answer may lie in a skill called "self-distancing", which features the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.
But what might self-distancing look like in action? These two fiends—well call them Tom and Jessica—feel wronged, and they replay their argument in their heads and out loud with you! Jessica is thinking, can't believe he did that to me." And Tom insists, "She really hurt my feelings. They are each focusing on their own feelings. However, if you ask them to take the third-person perspective of a distanced observer, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions. Tom might literally wonder about himself, thinking in the third person, "Why was he so hurt in this situation?" Or Jessica might ask, "How did these two people get to this point? How did her anger affect him?" Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, numerous studies with children, adolescents, and adults (young and old) indicate that a shift in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way we think, feel, and behave.
Reading for fun is one of life's greatest pleasures. There's nothing quite like sinking into an armchair with a beloved book and letting yourself be transported to the world of an imaginative character. In our busy, technology-filled lives, it can be hard to carve out the time to sit down with a book. Here are some tips on how to become a good reader.
Create a reading schedule. Block out a period of time to dedicate to reading every day, even if it's just ten minutes. Choose a time that's stress-free. Read during a nice, quiet time. Enjoy a book with breakfast or as you're getting ready for bed. Prepare a snack you love to eat while you read. This will make you look forward to reading time!
There's no reason to immediately force yourself to read War and Peace when you're trying to get into reading. Start with something that's easy and fun to read, regardless of its academic level. Pick up your old favorite kids book or choose a young adult novel, most of which are fast-paced, easy to read, and full of imaginative characters. Grab a favorite like Harry Potter, or some Roald Dahl classics like Matilda or James and the Giant Peach to get started.
Experiment with different genres. Don't limit yourself to one genre. Alternating between genres such as fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and history can keep you constantly engaged and excited about reading. Science fiction and fantasy are often great picks for people who don't love to read. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams are two widely adored sci-fi classics.
Get rid of distractions. Reading takes a lot of concentration, and it's impossible to get into a book if you're constantly checking your email or Facebook or distracted by outside noise. Find a quiet place and remove technological distractions while you're reading. Put your cell phone far enough away from you that you won't pick it up to check your social media.
A. Start small.
B. Choose a book.
C. They're fun, imaginative, and fast paced.
D. For some, however, reading can feel like a burden.
E. Like anything else, reading is an activity that gets easier with practice.
F. There are fantasy books, historical fiction books, realistic fiction books, and so many others.
G. Turn off your cell phone or put it on silent, unless you plan to use it to look up unfamiliar words.
James Cook and his wife Samantha Jones started their beekeeping work eight years ago and have gained much experience. They are 1 at solving the problems their bees face. The year 2020 was their year to go into business 2 after working several 3 for other beekeepers, when they were in California's huge farms.
In the spring, the farms were full of white flowers that 4 into nuts. The crop was possible because of the many beekeepers who 5 with their hives (蜂巢) to pollinate (授粉) the nation's crops.
Then the coronavirus (冠状病毒) health crisis hit. Cook and Jones became 6. "Do we stay? Do we go?" they asked each other. By that time, they had taken their 7from California's San Joaquin Valley to another temporary home. Their plan was to let the bees 8 the agricultural work and their contact with farm chemicals. So, they decided to 9 the coronavirus restrictions in California. There, they set out to create their 10, Bird and the Bees Honey.
This summer, Cook and Jones and their small crew worked day and night to build a honey 11. They were 12 tired and in debt because they took 13 to get the business up and running. But they were also 14 . Unlike other agricultural crops, honey can be 15 for a long time. That is a good thing for Cook and Jones, because coronavirus restrictions have left them with 16 places to sell their products.
Cook, who is 35, said, "Starting a business in these 17 times is hard but it 18 to do it. The experience will make us 19 . I think beekeeping sort of taught me —you kind of need to look for the 20and the beauty that you can find," he says.
Many kinds of music can stir imagination and produce strong feelings. For some people, (romance) composers such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky improve feelings of love and sympathy. Religious and spiritual music can help some people feel peace or lessen their pain. But one musician seems to have unique ability of healing (治愈) the human body—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Scientists have found Mozart's music to be remarkable in its ability (calm) its listeners. It can also increase their perceptions, and help them express themselves more (clear).
Many amazing cases have been documented using Mozart a healing aid. For example, a tiny premature(早产的) baby ( name) Krissy, who weighed just 1.5 pounds at birth, was on total life support. Doctors thought she had little chance of survival. Her mother insisted on playing Mozart for Krissy, and thought it would save her daughter's life. Krissy lived, she was very small for her age and slower than the average child. At the age of four, she showed an interest in music and her parents gave her violin lessons. To their (astonish), Krissy was able to play musical pieces from memory were far beyond the ability of an average four-year-old child.(play) music helped her improve in all areas of her life.

The first time I hear my family planned to climb on the weekend, I thought it was the end of the world so I was not good at sports at all. To cheering me up, my father told us the first one to get to the top of the mountain would given a prize. Upon hearing this, we began to run up. Although my sister was well ahead of him, I didn't give up. The prize attracted me so much as I kept running forward. Surprising, I reached the top at first. I turned out to be the happy of all, because I not only got the prize but also knew that one shouldn't give up easily. Now I am already 18 year old, but the memory of my childhood is still fresh.
