For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript(手稿)consisting of nearly 1, 000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.

The author's intention remains as mysterious(神秘)as his name;he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it, "she says.

Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠)who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.

The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.

Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.

Back when science—then called "the new philosophy"—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light. If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.

You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults' fashion magazine Seventeen.

"You is IN, " said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen. "She is active and mature because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies, to books on art, to movies. We found she's the very style we're looking for to represent young people's attitudes. "

You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year. As the hostess of an English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, You is always praised for speaking English almost like a native speaker. "I've built up my English by watching thousands of English DVDs since I was 10, " she explained.

But for You, watching isn't enough. Last year, while in Senior 1, she met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school.

"I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films, " she said. So she wrote a campus story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all in English. "I played one of the leading roles;actually I was everything in my film. I worked on it every single day during the holidays, " she recalled. The movie finally became a big hit on campus, earning You a strong reputation as a DV movie director.

But this is not the only field she wants to master. Despite being a science student, You likes art, literature and fashion design very much.

"There are people who can be artists, there are people who edit books, and there are people who become film producers. But I just hope to mix all the things up!" she said. "There is an old saying I believe: Chance favours only the prepared mind. "

This summer, most Chinese citizens have been amazed by women wearing hanfu, or Han-style clothing, at subway stations, shopping malls, pedestrian streets or scenic areas. Hanfu has aroused public attention in recent years, especially among young people.

In 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China (CCCYL) set the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar, traditionally the birthday of the Chinese people's mythological (神话的) ancestor the Yellow Emperor, as the annual Traditional Chinese Garment (服装) Day. It was aimed to promote classic Chinese culture, as well as "demonstrating cultural confidence". Since then, the beauty of hanfu has gained more and more recognition and acceptance by common people.

Generally, hanfu refers to traditional Chinese garments worn by the Han nationality before the Qing Dynasty. Historically, Han Chinese clothing has also influenced some of its neighbouring cultural costumes, including the Japanese kimono, Korean hanbok, and clothing of Mongolia, Vietnam and Bhutan.

Hanfu appears elegant and beautiful, not only due to the thousands of years of culture behind its design. This traditional dress also stands out because of its remarkable craftsmanship, from fabric to decoration. Hanfu adopts more than 30 examples of China's invisible cultural heritage as well as Chinese arts and crafts under preservation.

Hanfu represents not only appreciation of the beauty, but also a continuation of traditional Chinese culture. Nowadays, more and more fashion designers look to hanfu for inspiration, producing fashionable examples of hanfu for a new era.

It's been said that lifeturns onsmall things. Sometimes it's hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over time, the little things can make the biggest difference.

The theme of SuccessforTeens is "Little Things Matter". The book helps teens identify small, positive choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don't realise how the little choices in their lives can have lasting effects. Often they focus on the bigger events, such as a major exam, a big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.

The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing(按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.

Nineteen-year-old Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily looking for ways to help other kids. Over the past few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success. Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.

How to cultivate your sense of happiness?

Relieving stress and anxiety might help you feel better—for a bit. Martin E. P. Seligman, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a pioneer in the field of positive psychology, does not see ridding negative emotions as a path to happiness. "What makes life worth living, " he said, "is much more than the absence of the negative. "

To cultivate the components of well-being, which include engagement, good relationships, accomplishment and purpose, Dr Seligman suggests the following four exercises based on research at the Penn Positive Psychology Centre, which he directs, and at other universities.

Identify Signature Strengths. Write down a story about a time when you were at your best.  Reread it every day for a week, and each time ask yourself: "What personal strengths did I display when I was at my best? " Writing down your answers "puts you in touch with what you're good at", Dr Seligman explained. The next step is to consider how to use these strengths to your advantage, intentionally organising and structuring your life around them.

Set aside 10 minutes before you go to bed each night to write down three things that went really well that day. Next to each event answer the question, "Why did this good thing happen? " Instead of focusing on life's lows, which can increase the likelihood of depression, the exercise "turns your attention to the good things in life, so it changes what you attend to, " Dr Seligman said.

Make a Gratitude Visit. Think of someone who has been especially kind to you but you have not properly thanked.  Then arrange a meeting and read the letter aloud, in person. "It's common that when people do the gratitude visit both people weep out of joy, " Dr Seligman said. Why is the experience so powerful? "It puts you in better touch with other people, with your place in the world. "

Respond Constructively. That is, instead of saying something passive, express genuine excitement. Prolong the discussion by encouraging them to tell others or suggest a celebratory activity.

A. The next time someone you care about shares good news, give an "active constructive response".

B. Write a letter describing what he or she did and how it affected your life, and how you often remember the effort.

C. Find the Good.

D. To Dr Seligman, the most effective long-term strategy for happiness is to actively cultivate well-being.

E. People like you more, relationships go better, and life goes better.

F. It doesn't need to be a life-changing event but should have a clear beginning, middle and end.

G. Well-being consists not merely of feeling happy but of experiencing a sense of satisfaction.

How to keep healthy

Ten years ago I used to be very healthy. I went to work by bike and I got a lot of exercise at the weekend. I played tennis a lot and went for long walks. In those days, I didn't earn very much. I had a job in an office, which wasn't very good, but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed.

Then, about 8 years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better. But the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day, and began to take people out to lunch. And I began to be overweight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at the weekend, because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more. There was a lot of stress in a job like mine; perhaps that was why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, and then I started filling the glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.

Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn't believe it. "I'm too young and I want to keep healthier, "I said. Luckily it wasn't very serious. I was in hospital for a few days and they did a lot of tests. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He told me to do a lot of other things. For example, he advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven't any time! My job takes everything out of me!

Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something that I used to do. But if I do that, I won't earn much. I have a family to support. I just don't know what I should do.

注意:续写的词数应为150左右。

Later, I knew one person who really believed in keeping fit.

But now her story has completely changed the way I live.
