Music is arguably the most life-enriching academic subject. 1 . It can bring lots of important benefits to your child’s education, many of which you may not have considered before.
Increase language capabilities
Music and language have a far-reaching relationship. Musical training stimulates the same part of the brain that deals with understanding language. Children who have some exposure to music al education will, therefore, have a greater understanding of tones and how different phrases are arranged. 2 .
Improve hand-eye coordination (协调)
3 . It takes considerable hand-eye coordination to learn almost any instrument. Those who master their craft are blessed with a unique skill; it’s something that can be applied to other areas of general life. It can also help elsewhere in education, as writing skills and art require the hands and eyes to work together.
4
Music is a great way for your child to meet new people and create lasting friendships. If they decide to take up music as an extracurricular (课外的) activity, they’ll be bonding with like-minded children who share their passion. In a time when children are increasingly interested in communicating online and focusing on digital skills, music is a refreshing return to face-to-face contact.
Bring about a sense of achievement
When your child does achieve a musical goal, they get the incredible satisfaction that comes from working hard to obtain something. 5 . Self-trust is one of the most valuable skills a child can have and music is one of the best ways to allow it to develop in your child.

Small changes and gradual habit-building are great strategies for progressing towards large goals. They can include losing weight and increasing physical activity with the ultimate goal of keeping healthy. 6
Why Step and Not Jump
If those large goals are so important, why not jump towards them instead of taking baby steps 7 For example, running a 10k if you rarely even walk for exercise. It can be easier to start with walking for 10 minutes three days a week.
Small steps can lead to a good cycle of success bringing success as you establish habits, hit mini-goals, and note your progress. This increases confidence and motivation, making it easier to stay in it for a long time.
How to Take Small Steps
Break it down. That larger goal may seem far-off and unattainable, but breaking it down into smaller goals establishes a defined path that you can travel. Instead of worrying about what you might do next year(e. g. going on a foreign trip), you can check off the list things you can do today or this week(e. g. going to the gym). 8
Track your progress. Track your progress to see how well you are doing and where you might improve. Your parents can help with tracking healthy eating, weight, and physical activity. 9 It also keeps you focused on the long-term benefits.
Adjust as needed. Assess your progress regularly, such as weekly or a couple of times a month. 10 Consider it a re-routing process, and not a failure. This change can keep you motivated and on track as you make progress towards those big goals.
A. This is how you can use small steps.
B. Keeping a record of progress can increase motivation.
C. Things you can do today are good small steps to consider.
D. And then you can re vise your goal and path to it as needed.
E. Taking small steps can be the best way to hold onto the gains.
F. A large goal can be so challenging that it is hard to work towards it.
G. Here are some tips on why and how to take small steps to reach big goals.

While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
11 What do you want your audience to know How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 12 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 13 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 14 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 15 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A. Identify a communication goal.
B. He knows most who speaks least.
C. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.

In early October, Travis Gienger transported an enormous pumpkin (南瓜) from his home in Minnesota to the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in California. His pumpkin set the record for the biggest one ever grown in North America. How do competitive growers get their pumpkins to grow to massive sizes 16
Gienger, who teaches horticulture (园艺学) at Anoka Technical College, begins growing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grows indoors for the first few weeks, when Minnesota’s soil is too frosty. 17 They can absorb sunlight, nutrients from the soil, and water there. “At their peak, you’re watering them with at least 600 liters a day, ” he says.
Depending on the variety, pumpkin plants can grow up to a dozen fruits on a single vine (藤曼) . But to maximize size, growers remove all but one or two of these pumpkins in order to decrease each individual fruit’s competition for resources. 18
But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grows Two factors drive natural growth: cell division and cell expansion. Cell division accounts for most of the growth at the beginning of a fruit’s life. This period lasts for about 20 days in pumpkin plants. 19 Pumpkin cells will expand until around 50 or 60 days after pollination (授粉).
20 Some varieties of pumpkins have been bred specifically to maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety. This has led to competition for the best seeds. Following each harvest, many growers auction off (拍卖掉) the seeds from their biggest pumpkins, which will then be used for the following year’s plantings.
A. Biology has the answers.
B. Genetics also influences pumpkin growth.
C. The following tips will give you a head start.
D. Once it warms up, the plants are transferred outside.
E. When it stops, cell expansion will then come into play.
F. Growers extend the growth period for as long as possible.
G. Growers also remove the weeds in the area for the same reason.

Short-form videos, also known as Shorts, have gained great popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. 21 However, there’s a growing concern that watching too many Shorts can affect children’s brains.
The phenomenon known as “TikTok Brain” arises from the app’s short and addictive videos. Similar to candy, these videos generate rapid dopamine (多巴胺) releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study was conducted to investigate the impact of Shorts on the teenage brains. 22 They stimulated the brain’s reward centers more intensely than random videos.
Our brains process visual information faster than text, which explains why videos tend to outperform text-based content online. Due to their underdeveloped reading skills, children are more easily to become addicted to visual stimuli. Remarkably, social media platforms can do a lot harm to the development of reading habits among younger users. 23
According to Jessica Griffin, a professor of child psychology, Shorts affect the developing brains of children and teenagers. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) is responsible for attention, self-control, memory, and learning flexibility. 24 This delayed development makes young individuals more easily influenced by Shorts.
In conclusion, the constant exposure to fast-paced and stimulating content in Shorts can impact children’s attention. To address this issue, parents can have open conversations with their children about the potential risks. 25 Furthermore, encouraging physical activities and outdoor experiences is also crucial to develop a balance d lifestyle.
A. Some even do not include text at all.
B. TikTok’s feed is created addictive by design.
C. But it does not fully mature until around the age of 25.
D. It is helpful to use screen time management tools for Shorts.
E. Short-term memory and the ability to concentrate are affected.
F. It revealed that these videos are personalized, selected and fed to users.
G. They’re brief attention-grabbing videos that can be entertaining and addictive.

For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals from big cats to tiny lizards, and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for these animals
26 Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in menageries (野生动物园). 27 Modern zoos, however, have transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures, removing bars, and to some extent, copying their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive (圈养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of the Zoo Licensing Act of 1981 required zoos to educate the public. 28
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said, “There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos.” 29 Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the UK for its conservation work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.
30 For instance, a virtual reality zoo enables the public to see rare animals and have amazing interactions. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC, “Taking a walk through a her d of elephants in Serengeti National Park in Africa, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.”
A. Animal welfare was not a priority.
B. Animal protection is becoming a global issue.
C. What we should do next is not to disturb wildlife.
D. New opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored.
E. Some zoos have programs to preserve the future of endangered species.
F. Long ago, people could only see wild animals as dead exhibits in a museum.
G. Since then, more zoos have been involved in raising people’s awareness of wildlife conservation.

How to Come Up with Innovative Ideas
Success in today’s dynamic and competitive business environment is significantly influenced by innovation, serving as a key driver for progress. 31 So, how can you unlock your creative genius and come up with ideas that will set you apart from others Let’s explore expert tips on how to come up with innovative ideas that will help you stand out in your industry.
Embrace failure. Innovation often involves taking risks and going to unfamiliar places, making failure an unavoidable aspect. 32 When faced with failure, invest time in analyzing what went wrong and draw on that insight to start your subsequent attempts.
Look for inspiration everywhere. Innovative ideas can come from anywhere — from your customers and competitors to pop culture and nature. 33 Attend industry events, and read books and articles to help stimulate your creativity.
Cooperate with others. Cooperation is a key ingredient in innovation. Working with others who have different skills and perspectives, you may generate new ideas and solutions that you might not have thought of on your own. 34
35 Where you work significantly influences your creativity and ability to generate innovative ideas. Ensure your workspace promotes creativity by minimizing distractions and chaos. Surround yourself with inspiration, such as art, quotes, and photos.
A. Keep an open mind and reflect.
B. Be mindful of your environment.
C. But coming up with innovative ideas is easier said than done.
D. Make sure to view it as an opportunity for learning and growth.
E. It’s essential to remain open to inspiration from diverse sources.
F. Sometimes the best ideas come when you’re not actively thinking about them.
G. Look for opportunities to work with colleagues, industry peers and even customers.

A lot of people assume the more work they put in at the gym, and the longer and harder they push themselves, the better their results will be. 36 But if you want to get the best gains, the key is to focus on the quality of the work rather than the quantity.
Your body is capable of making only tiny adaptations and improvements at any one time. Once you've given it enough push to make these changes, any additional work you do after that point won't be making you any better. 37 This is because you'll need longer to recover afterwards. Besides, you won't feel fresh when you start your next session. Ideally, it's just enough to do the smallest amount of work required to promote growth in every workout. 38 Thus the minimum amount of exercise brings the maximum physical gains.
39 For example, if a new gym-goer wants to get stronger, he might start a squat (深蹲) workout, which is made up of ten steps, each having five repetitions. In theory, it's a sensible way for building strength. If he's only attempted three steps in his previous exercise, it's far from enough. The fourth step would push him past his previous limit and force adaptation. But the subsequent steps are meant for more professional people. 40
As a general rule, regardless of your experience, aim to only increase the volume of any exercise by one step from workout to workout.
A. It seems logical.
B. Instead, it'll harm your progress.
C. It's natural that you may want to keep fit.
D. After that, you can stop exercising during the day.
E. Only in this way can you enjoy the benefit of exercise.
F. They would just increase the chance of injury for beginners.
G. How much exercise you need to do depends on your current fitness level.

How to Make Your Writing Flow
Writing flow refers to how smoothly text flows from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to another. 41 On the other hand, choppy (不连贯的) writing lacking flow disrupts the reading experience. Luckily, you have the tips below to improve the flow of your writing.
1. Vary your sentence structure.
Using only short, choppy sentences creates a disconnected rhythm that disrupts the flow, while a series of long, complex sentences overwhelm readers. 42 Varying sentence structure keeps readers engaged and create s natural movement from one idea to the next.
2. Use transition words and phrases.
Transition words and phrases act like bridges between sentences and paragraphs. They create logical connections between ideas. Use transitions like “however,” “therefore,” “similarly,” and “in contrast” to glue sentences and paragraphs together smoothly. 43
3. Structure paragraphs around a central idea.
44 The supporting sentences in the paragraph should work together to explain, develop, or argue that central idea. This creates cohesion within paragraphs and connects them to each other logically. Use topic sentences to introduce the main idea of each paragraph. Paragraphs structured around a singular focus improve writing flow and readability.
4. 45
Revisiting writing with fresh eyes makes flaws in flow and transitions more noticeable. Let your drafts rest for a day or two to prevent getting stuck reworking the same passage repeatedly. Approaching writing anew allows you to evaluate flow and smooth out imperfections with distance and objectivity.
A. Don’t leave out the revising process.
B. Let completed drafts rest before editing.
C. The key is to mix sentence lengths to create fluid variety.
D. Place them at the beginning of a sentence or between independent clauses.
E. Flowing writing maintains the continuity of ideas and transitions logically.
F. Each paragraph should have a controlling idea relating to your overall theme.
G. As a writer, it is your responsibility to present your readers with a central idea.

As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 46 This lies at the heart of “experiential appreciation,” a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.
To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 47
As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. 48 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.
49 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.
Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 50 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.
A. It extends learning beyond textbooks.
B. These activities bring learning to life.
C. Mind the impact of your actions on the environment.
D. Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it.
E. Take your experiences further by reflecting on them.
F. Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles.
G. Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating.
