There were tubes (试管) all over my lab desk. Once again, my experiment (试验) had 11 to work. I felt hopeless. A few months earlier, when I had just started the project, I was 12 . I believed I could 13 it if I worked hard enough. So I spent long hours in the lab every day. When the experiment failed, I simply worked hard.
Yet here I was, working harder than ever—but not getting anywhere. I didn’t know what to do.
It was late in the evening. One other person was still in the lab, and he noticed my 14 look.
He 15 and asked how I was doing. I told him about my problems. After we talked through the experiment, he said, “I think it’s time to go home and get some 16 .” “Taking a break is also hard work, you know,” he added with a smile.
Those words 17 my eyes. I no longer overworked myself in the lab. I felt less stressed and my research started to progress.
A few years later, my professor and I were discussing an age-old problem at a cafe. As he finished his coffee, he said, “We need to work 18 , not harder.” I felt kind of surprised. I had never heard my professor say
19 like this.
Our conversation that day helped me understand that exciting ideas 20 come from a mind under pressure. My best ideas almost always come after I have allowed my mind to 21 whether that’s cooking a nice dinner or going on long hikes with my brother. Part of working smarter, I realized, can be taking a break.
Today, I try to 22 this idea on to my own students. Work-life balance is not a barrier (障碍) to excellent research. It is an important part of it.

In the late Qing dynasty, farmers in Zhejiang’s Sheng County (嵊县) created a new type of performance. It joined talking and singing together in the local language. It was called xiaogeban (小歌班). Farmers acted out and sang the unusual events of the day and legends (传说) of long ago.
At the turn of the 20th century, xiaogeban spread to Shanghai. However, its actors were often laughed at by the locals. This finally led to the creation of Yue opera. The new art form was more formal (正式的) than
xiaogeban. It borrowed ideas from other operatic traditions and started using carefully-made sets (布景), costumes and music.
Yue opera actors are good at expressing emotions through singing. The romantic stories performed by women attracted more audiences. Over time, the art form became female-dominated (女性主导的). Today, male roles in Yue opera are often taken by female actors.

The Yue opera version of this tale is set in Zhejiang. It is one of the best-known versions of the story and was even made into a hit movie in 1953.
The Story of the Western Wing (《西厢记》) This romantic story was written by Wang Shifu, a Yuan dynasty play writer, who tells the story of lovers Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying. They fall in love with each other and try to run away from Yingying’s mother.
Peach Blossom Fan (《桃花扇》) This sad love story is set in the late Ming dynasty. It was written by Qing dynasty play writer Kong Shangren. In the story, a young scholar Hou Fangyu and courtesan (花魁) Li Xiangjun exchange a fan as a token (信物) of their love.

The directors (负责人) of tourism administration (旅游局) are trying to make their provinces and areas more well-known through social media. They appear in short videos, wearing special costume or even a space suit. Their short films are all set in exciting places and the performances have been well-received.
In one popular short film that got tens of thousands of likes, a woman is wearing white head-wear and a white dress of the Oroqen ethnic group (鄂伦春族) and walking in a snow-covered forest. Du Bo, head of her local bureau (局) of culture and tourism in Heilongjiang, filmed herself as such to show Oroqen ethnic customs. Du said she spent two hours shooting and shivering (颤抖) outside as temperatures were -20℃ during the filming, which was finally cut to under a minute. She said she hoped to show the beauty of snow and ice with the short film.
Liu Jiehua, a director in Anyang City, Henan Province, dressed as China’s first recorded woman general in the Shang Dynasty to encourage more tourists to visit. Chen Guanyu, director in Artux City, Xinjiang, sent out the invitation to his hometown on horseback. With many other directors dressed in special clothing, director Dorje in Daofu County, Sichuan Province, came up with something different. One of his most famous photo shoots is in an astronaut suit.
From riding horses and dressing like astronauts to wearing special costumes, the normally serious officials are going all out to make local tourism come alive. Most people online welcome this creative competition in the group of these officials, as they help viewers know more about local scenic spots in small counties and faraway places.

Babies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip (嘴唇) readers too. It happens during the period when a baby’s babbling (咿呀声) slowly changes from unclear voices into that first “mama”or “dada”. The babies have to find out how to shape their lips to make the sounds they are hearing, according to David from Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.
Clearly, it doesn’t take them too long to understand the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more clues that talking with babies face to face is very important for speech development more than turning on the latest baby DVD.
But David went a step further. He and his student Hansen tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them aged 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How They showed videos of a woman speaking in English to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-old babies gazed (凝视) mostly into her eyes. The 6-month-old babies spent the same amounts (数量) of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-month-old babies and 10-month-old babies studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker’s eyes.
But what happened when these babies are used to English heard French The 12-month-old babies studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to understand the new sounds.
The continued lipreading shows the 12-month-old babies are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study, says Duke University scientist Greg, who found the research so fantastic that he wants to know more.
29.What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A.Babies might get its voice “mama” by lip reading.
B.Babies like to find out how to shape their lips.
C.Babies learn to talk just from hearing the sounds.
D.Babies communicate by using body languages.
