The New Nordic Diet (NND) is a new food project with key focus on gastronomy (烹饪法)，health, and environment, which will give you a direction for a healthier lifestyle. 

Developing a New Meal System

In this first module (模块), you will be introduced to the NND project. You will hear about the background for the project, and the rules behind which are considered to be important to this new meal system. 

The OPUS School Meal Study

In the second module, we will study how the OPUS School Meal Study was designed and how the researchers examined the effect of the NND school meals on health, as well as their risk factors for developing lifestyle diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The study compared the NND with the present situation in schools. 

The OPUS Supermarket Intervention

In the third module, we will be looking at the effect of the NND on adults. We will study the effect of eating the NND and the Avenge Danish Diet (ADD), respectively, in terms of body weight, body fat and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. You will learn about problems and advantages associated with (与……有关) two types of diet, focusing in particular on shopping, cooking and meal structure. 

Study the NND - From Food to Health

In the last module we will focus on the health of the NND, the effects published so far from different studies and on the possible factors and foods affecting the results.

Cole Doss 31, used his time on the microphone to make an announcement(广播)before the flight to honor his mom, a flight attendant for over 40 years.

"She's been one of my biggest supporters in my life and in my carer becoming a pilot,ever since my very first flight lesson," Doss told passengers, later adding,"To my mom,I love you, and without you, I wouldn't have chosen such a great job. "

Doss said the flight last month from Washington, D. C. to Madrid was not only the first time he and his mom had worked on a flight together, but also the first time his mom had been on a flight that he piloted.

"That was the first time I had been able to fly my mom ever," he said."In flight school,she was a little nervous about the small planes, so I was never able to fly with her there, "Doss said his mom typically works on Asia bound flights, but when she learned he was piloting a flight to Spain, she switched( 调班) schedules with a fellow flight attendant so she could be on the same flight.

On the day of the flight, Doss, having been a United Airlines pilot since February 2022,and his mom also worked on the return flight back to Washington, D. C. together. "I wanted to do something special to pay back my mom and let everyone know that this was a really cool event for both of us," he said.

"She was really proud of me so I'm sure she probably told most of the passengers that her son was flying up front," Doss said. In addition to his mom's role as a flight attendant for the United Airlines, Doss' dad and sister are flight attendants for the American Airlines.

With the rise of technology, we're experiencing an important change in our lives. But what exactly are the differences between a modern lifestyle and a traditional lifestyle?

A traditional lifestyle is often defined by cultural and social standards passed down through generations. However, the modern lifestyle is characterized by a more personal approach, where personal freedom is often more important than traditional standards.

But the differences between the two go much deeper than just cultural standards. The way we live our daily lives has also changed greatly. Modern lifestyles are often characterized by technology driven convenience. On the other hand, traditional lifestyles favor(青睐) a more simple approach to daily living.

So what does it mean to live a modern lifestyle, and how does it differ from a traditional one? The development of communication methods is a heated topic that gives us insights into the rich history of mankind. Letters were once the primary means of communicating across great distances, and they held a special place in people's hearts, sharing news of loved ones.Writing a letter was so amazing as it required thoughtful consideration.

As time passed and technology advanced, communication methods changed, and today we live in an age controlled by instant(即时的) messaging and social media. While these tools offer speed and convenience, they have damaged the depth of our relationships.

In our modern lifestyle, we' re connected in a real-time way, but sometimes we feel more disconnected than ever before. The instant messages can leave us feeling anxious, while the art of face to-face conversation is in danger of being lost.

But it's not all bad news. Technology has brought us closer in many ways, providing new forms of communication. Video calls, for example, have made it possible to meet with loved ones from anywhere in the world, creating a sense of community that was once impossible.

Dry lightning(雷电) can sill be harmful even when conditions aren't so dry,said a study published in Geophysical Research Letters last month. Dry lightning rainfall was previously thought to cause wildfire danger only with less than 2.5 mm of rain in a day.A Washington State University-led study of wildfires in the US West found dry lightning caused wildfires despite up to 7. 7 mm of rain.

"The rainfall amounts we recorded should help provide a better understanding of just how much rain can cause a fire risk,"said Dmitri Kalashnikov,lead author of the study.

The researchers analyzed(分析)cases on more than 4,600 naturally caused fires from 2015 to 2020.They matched 3,726 of those to the lightning strikes that likely started them with the help of National Lightning Detection Network.

The study found that 15.3%of those were holdover fires which burn without smoke, bringing about over a hundred fires each year.Analyzing the rainfall amounts around the time of the lightning strikes showed greater rainfall than previously thought among the earlier found fires ranging from1.7 mm to 4.6 mm.

While humans still cause most fires either by accident or on purpose,lightning-caused wildfires burn the most areas.Nearly 70%of the wildfire-burned land in the West was from lightning-caused fires according to the study.For example,the largest wildfire burn area in California history took place in August 2020 after dry lightning caused many wildfires at once.

Dry lightning can also start wildfires in places that are hard for firefighters to reach.This study found the places where holdover fires happened repeatedly were in the forested mountains of the Southwest as well as the middle and southern Rocky Mountains.Holdover fires cause the problem because they are so hard to notice.

Those who have a go-getter mentality(心态) are seen as the high achievers of this world. Let's learn ways on how to achieve a go-getter attitude.

Bite sized goals are important. They allow you to experience achievement and therefore allow you to reward yourself, finally contributing to the improvement of your motivation and driving you to achieve more.

Have a clear idea and be intentional(有心的)

having detailed goals in mind, writing therm down, and describing them are some of the first steps to be successful,Being intentional is to be willing to try new things and look for for solutions.There is no point in doing something if you're not intentional about what you do, ,even a small stone in your path will stop you.

Look at your mistakes as opportunities

It's also important to look at your mistakes as chances to improve yourself. .If, for example,you work on a project that receives unpleasant comments,use those comments to improve your project and present it again.

Find the courage to push yourself towards goals

Allow yourself to be around by active people who believe in and support you,including those who have pushed through challenges and achieved their goals.Take encouragement from them.Also,you can look back and remind yourself of what you've already achieved,and don't undervalue any of them. .

A.Follow your interests

B.Setup bite-sized goals

C.They prove you can do it

D.Knowing where you want to go

E.If you don't want to achieve something

F.When you come across people who are successful

G.Learn from them and quickly put the learning into action

When I first read the wonderful book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, I was in Grade 9. I came to know about it from my sister. When I came to Grade 10, I started 1  what I learned from the 2  to my daily life. I have many 3  in my life, and my biggest one was to be a member of our school football team. So I started 4  the scene of being allowed to join the 5  that I had been dreaming about.

Then the day came that my first round to 6  the football team was going to happen. The result came out but 7  I did not succeed in the first round. I was feeling a bit depressed (沮丧) due to much time I spent preparing for it. But, soon I tried to find a(n) 8 . I waited for the second round. Deep inside my mind, I was quite sure that I was going to be a 9  because I had always 10  one particular teaching from the book. That is when something bad happens, something 11  will surely happen.

After six months, the second round was 12  and it became the best day of my life because I had 13  my dream.

From my 14 , the really important things to be noted are to hold on to your dreams and you must have 15  in your ability.

There was a girl called Cary, who was a new student in Esmarth Vil, a primary school in a small town. 

She was the most hardworking girl at her school. Her marks were higher than the others. She was the best, but nobody wanted to be her friend. Her classmates didn't want to play with her and some even laughed at her. Cary's teacher Jared didn't know that.

One day, Jared set an exam and Robert, a boy who was the king of all the students, signed his exam paper using Cary's name, and changed Cary's name for Robert's quickly after Cary handed in her paper. It wasn't noticed by anybody. When Jared returned all the exam Papers, everybody was shocked. Cary failed the exam, but the others seemed to be happy with that.

The next day, when Cary arrived at school, all the children wanted to be with her and invited her to play with them. Although Cary was surprised, she was happy to play with the other children. During their fun time, Jared suddenly appeared to inform Cary that there had been a mistake, and she hadn't failed.

Jared explained to the students what had happened and punished Robert. After that, they all stopped playing with Cary again. 

Cary couldn't stop crying this time and ran to ask her teacher why she couldn't make friends with good school performance.
