It happened when my stepchildren（继子女）, Cheryl and Chuck visited me shortly after we were married. I liked the kids at first. Of course, I wanted to win them. They seemed to like me, but I wasn't sure, especially at mealtime. Cheryl enjoyed watching me 38 the evening meal very much. "What are you doing?" she asked curiously. "Making potato salad," I replied. My answers did not seem to 39 her. She shook her head disappointedly（失望地）."My mama doesn't 40 it that way," she said." If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it." I answered carefully.
41 , her father believed that children should eat 42 on their plate, including a dish that their mother made 43 a different way from I did. 44 , Chuck cried and shouted "Mama doesn't make it that way." By this time, I got to dislike 45 for her mother and her way of cooking.
Then, at last, I found a dish their mother didn't make, 46 both the kids liked, that is banana pudding. They helped me in the kitchen. We all had fun. It was a time of sharing 47 and laughter. Later, 48 banana pudding became a family tradition which all of us enjoyed.
On the last night 49 they returned home, we made the banana pudding again. Suddenly, I relaxed, and I knew that when those kids got back home, their mother would hear a lot about "Karen doesn't do it that way." I thought that she must know I loved her children and 50 their respect.
I thought that their mom and I both used one important ingredient(配料) in our cooking, the most effective one --- love.

Sun Run, a 16-year-old girl went to the hospital with her parents in January because her eyes felt more tired and her vision was blurry (视力模糊的). She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience lately.” Sun said.
In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first half of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.
To protect students’eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements for school equipment(设备).They will take effect on March 1, 2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students’textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point (小五号).
Teachers should also avoid using projectors (投影仪) or other multimedia equipment that are too bright. There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off as little blue light as possible.
Blue light is bad for our eyes, as it can kill the photoreceptor cells (感光细胞) we need for vision.
Many of the electronic devices (电子设备) we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.
Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students’ eyesight in China. In May 2020, the National Health Commission asked schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.
By 2050, half of the world’s population (nearly 5 billion) will be nearsighted, according to a study published in the journal Ophthalmology. The main reason for t his is that people’s lifestyles have changed. They spend less time outdoors and more time looking at screens.

list of numbers quickly.
In both experiments, they did the given tasks twice – before and after looking at pictures of either kittens (baby cats) and puppies (baby dogs), or adult cats and dogs.
Researchers were surprised to find that in both cases students who were shown cute baby animal pictures made fewer mistakes.
But, baby animals look both "cuter" and "more pleasant" than adult animals. Some people may ask whether the test difference came from their being "pleasant"?
To find the answer, the researchers chose some food pictures which looked pleasant but not cute, and gave them to a third group of students. But viewing the foods did not make the students do any better in the number test.
This finding shows that viewing cute pictures makes participants (参与者) behave more deliberately and do tasks with greater care.
The "power of cuteness" may be of great use in everyday life.
Think about situations in which people need to act carefully: driving, office work and exams.
"In my first year of high school, I brought small plastic toys to school during tests. I would set them up in a row on my desk, facing me, and then get busy with answering exam questions," Susana Martinez-Conde wrote in Scientific American.

Do you know which social app Chinese young people use a lot now? 66 Some users use Tik Tok(抖音) and Kuaishou. They think it is fun to share short videos about their lives, while others have other purposes as well.
A 12-year-old user named Elsa has about 2.7 million fans on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July. 67 “I feel really glad to share happiness with people by short videos,” said Elsa.
