The mst transfrmative mment f my life began with a failed run dwn my street. As a creative directr at a health publicatin, I culdn’t run fr mre than fur minutes. My daughter’s laughter n the walk hme marked my lwest pint — verweight, easily annyed, and cmpletely ut f shape. That was when I decided t make a change.
I started with small, cnsistent steps. Weekend jgs became my rutine, each time pushing me t g just a little farther. I examined my habits, replaced mindless snacking with mindful eating and gt rid f sugary drinks. The rewards were gradual but prfund: better sleep, lser clthes,and a newfund mental clarity. Running became my mving meditatin, a time when I culd prcess stress and return with patience and fcus.
After several mnths, I cmpleted my first 5-kilmeter run with my daughter. Thugh ur pace was slw, the accmplishment felt enrmus. That success encuraged me t keep pushing myself — 5 miles, then 10 miles, and then 15 miles. S when the pprtunity t run the New Yrk Marathn arse, I registered immediately, ready t embrace a challenge that truly terrified me.
Fr five mnths, I dedicated myself t a strict training plan and lng runs that peaked at 20miles. On the day I ran the New Yrk Marathn, thugh tired, I kept running steadily. When I sptted my wife and daughter in the crwd, a final, electric surge(猛增) f energy carried me frward. Crssing the finish line in 4:51:28, I was flded with verwhelming pride— I had dne it. I had accmplished the impssible.
This jurney taught me that true transfrmatin is achieved in the daily chice t shw up and hang n in there. We are all capable f far mre than we believe. Every step frward, n matter hw small, mves us tward the best versin f urselves. Prgress isn’t abut perfectin; it’s abut cnsistently chsing grwth ver cmfrt.

Fr many peple, spending time in nature can be a relaxing, enjyable experience. Immersing (沉浸) neself in the green field f grass, r the shade f a frested trail can be truly calming and healing.
Recently, researchers frm the University f Exeter and the University f Vienna have published a study in Nature Cmmunicatins that shwed that nt nly des being in nature help reduce pain, but lking at nature culd have a similar effect.
The study shwed that peple wh viewed images f nature experienced less pain than thse wh saw images f a city r an indr ffice. In additin, scans f the participants’ brains als shwed changes in brain respnses assciated with prcessing pain. This means that seeing nature has an effect n pain, just like being in nature des. This is welcme news fr peple wh d nt live near green spaces.
Hwever, a few mnths later, the researchers published anther study, this time in Pain,shwing that scenes f nature in virtual reality had mre pain-killing pwer than 2D scenes.
In rder t test hw virtual reality affects the sensatin f pain, the researchers set up an experiment with 29 healthy participants, wh were shwn tw different types f nature scenes, ne in virtual reality and the ther in 2D, after pain was delivered t their frearms via electric shcks.
The researchers fund that the immersive virtual reality scenes mitigated the develpment and feeling f pain in the participants. In fact, the virtual reality was almst tw times as effective as the 2D scenes were.
There are many implicatins f these studies, especially cncerning hw peple perceive and experience pain. Hwever, mre imprtantly, there are als ptential practical implicatins f the studies. Thugh getting ut int nature can be helpful in terms f treating pain, there are many peple in the wrld wh suffer frm lng-term pain and are unable t g int nature.

A vide f a lifelike rbt released by a Chinese rbtics cmpany shws the rbt’s head blinks, nds, and lks arund in a cnvincing imitatin f a real human face. The head, created by AheadFrm, might find use in research n human-rbt interactins r in varius industries, including custmer service and entertainment.
Funded in 2024, AheadFrm aims t make interactins between humans and rbts feel mre natural and engaging, accrding t the cmpany’s website. The cmpany hpes t integrate AI systems such as large language mdels (LLMs) with realistic rbtic heads s that rbts can understand and respnd t peple in real time.
“Our current fcus is n creating sphisticated (先进的) humanid rbt heads that can express emtins, perceive their envirnment, and interact smthly with humans,” a cmpany representative said n the website.
AheadFrm has prduced multiple series f rbt frms, including its “Elf” line f pinty-eared figures with precise cntrl systems and a mre human-lking “Lan Series” f bts designed t priritize cst-efficiency and intuitive mvements.
In building a rbtic head that can integrate with AI, the cmpany aims t make rbts mre apprachable and relatable. That culd be useful fr industries such as custmer service, educatin, and healthcare, “where building trust with human users is essential,” accrding t the website.
Researchers frm AheadFrm are already wrking n hw this might play ut. In a 2024 study published in the jurnal Science Rbtics, AheadFrm funder Yuhang Hu and his clleagues designed a rbt that culd analyze, predict, and mimic (模仿) human facial expressins in real time.
T achieve the subtle, precise facial mvements in the vide, AheadFrm uses brushless mtrs. These tiny devices run quietly and wrk tgether t create the lifelike twitches and glances that make the head seem realistic. Inside this particular mdel, the Origin M1, there are up t 25 tiny mtrs that cntrl the head’s expressins. The bt als has cameras in its pupils t help it “see” its envirnment, alng with built- in speakers and micrphnes it can use t interact with users n the fly.
12. What d we knw abut the rbt in the vide?
A. It has been widely used in varius industries.
B. It is designed by an internatinal rbtics cmpany.
C. It can functin better than human in certain aspects.
D. It has the ptential t prmte human- rbt interactins.
13. What des AheadFrm center n at present?
A. Develping advanced rbts that entertain peple.
B. Designing rbts that fit in with their surrundings.
C. Prducing rbts with flexible and lifelike heads.
D. Cmbining AI with their existing rbt mdels.
14. Why des the authr mentin a rbt designed by Yuhang Hu and his clleagues?
A. T illustrate the usage f the rbt.
B. T demnstrate the rbt’s ability t cmmunicate.
C. T shw AheadFrm’s prgress in rbtic research.
D. T highlight the funder’s remarkable achievements.
15. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title?
A. The Latest Develpment in Rbt Research
B. New Rbts Use AI t Interact with Human Beings
C. Chinese Tech Cmpany Develps a Lifelike Rbt Head
D. Advanced Humanid Rbts Are Widely Used in Varius Fields

The summer I turned sixteen, I discvered my dad’s ld camera in the garage (车库). It felt heavy and awkward in my hands, yet it still wrked perfectly. I taught myself t take black and white phts and develp them in ur garage. Watching images appear n blank paper felt like pure magic. Sn, phtgraphy became my passin. I spent hurs capturing everything arund ur neighbrhd. But my excitement was shrt-lived. My dad culdn’t understand why I was crazy abut this hbby.
Our arguments started small, but grew bigger every week. “Yur math grades are drpping. Phtgraphy is distracting (使分心) yu frm what truly matters,” Dad wuld say, his vice heavy with disappintment. I tried t explain what it meant t me, but he wuldn’t listen. The tensin reached its peak ne Tuesday evening when he saw my recent reprt card. “That’s it,” he declared, taking away my camera. “N mre phtgraphy until yur grade imprves.” I felt my wrld was cllapsing. “Yu dn’t understand anything!” I shuted thrugh tears. Fr the fllwing week, we barely spke. The huse grew cld and silent withut ur usual cnversatins.
Then everything changed when Mm quietly handed me a flyer fr a phtgraphy cntest titled “The Heart f Hme” and encuraged me t sign up fr it. Her encuragement brught me new hpe. While Dad was at wrk, I gt the camera again and began my secret prject. Instead f randm shts, I fcused n capturing my dad’s wrld. I tk pictures f his rganized wrkshp, his favrite cffee mug, even his wrn wrk bts. The mst imprtant pht came n Saturday mrning. I fund him fixing ur neighbr’s garden fence, his hands mving with skill and care. The mrning light transfrmed the rdinary scene int smething beautiful. I quietly tk the picture, capturing him nt as a strict parent, but as the helpful, capable man I’d always admired, but recently frgtten.
