“Witnessing increasing trends in diverse media cnsumptin and rates f attentin-deficit hyperactivity disrder (ADHD) in yung peple, it’s easy t cnclude that there is a decrease in their attentin span,” said Carl Marci, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hspital in Bstn.
Links between ADHD diagnses and screen time remain t be explred, since many factrs culd accunt fr a steady rise in cases. Yet mre parents say their kids are mre distracted. Research suggests that watching shrt, fast-paced vides makes it harder fr kids t sustain activities that dn’t ffer instant and cnstant satisfactin.
Fcusing n the TikTk-related effects n the brain, ne study fund that the persnalized, app-recmmended vides activate the reward centers f the brain, cmpared with the general-interest vides shwn t new users. Brain scans f Chinese cllege students shwed that areas invlved in addictin were highly activated in thse wh watched persnalized vides. It als fund sme peple have truble cntrlling when t stp watching. “We infer
that individuals with lwer self-cntrl ability have mre difficulty shifting attentin away frm favrite vide stimulatin,” the researchers at China’s Zhejiang University wrte.
As is knwn t the public, TikTk’s algrithm (算法) figures ut what users like based n the amunt f time
they watch each vide, and then serves up mre f the same. TikTk said it is nw develping ways t diversify the vides. Recently, the cmpany has made sme changes aimed at limiting t much app usage. Fr example, TikTk wn’t allw users aged 13-15 t receive ntificatins after 9 p.m. TikTk als peridically reminds users t take a break t g utside r grab a snack.

C. Screen time desn’t ffer verall satisfactin.D. Digital expsure makes children less fcused.
Hw d TikTk vides influence peple?
They activate brain’s self-cntrl part.B. They let peple feel rewarded and addicted.
C. They increase peple’s invlvement.D. They recmmend mre suitable vides.

The flwer headdresses f Quanzhu is always assciated with beauty. In the ld streets f the city Xunpu, a fishing village near Quanzhu, bright flwers rest n the hair f wmen and girls, making rdinary life vivid and memrable. 36 These flwers d nt merely brighten the face; they carry memry, feeling, and a way f
meeting the wrld.
The custm f wearing flwers in the hair has deep rts in Chinese culture. It appears in classical paintings. What is striking in Xunpu is that this lve f flwers didn’t remain inside paintings, r belng nly t the wealthy. 37 Fr them, flwers were nt distant symbls f elegance but part f daily life.
Fr the wmen f Xunpu, flwers were clsely linked with the hpe fr happiness and gd frtune. Flwers appeared at festivals, weddings, and ther imprtant mments. The headdress, then, was never simply smething t wear. It gave visible frm t an invisible wish. 38
That wish becmes mre mving when we knw the lives these wmen lived. Xunpu wmen were knwn fr their hard wrk. They fished, gathered seafd, managed the hme, and supprted the family. 39 Yet perhaps that is exactly why it matters. They didn’t chse flwers because life was easy. They chse flwers because life was hard. Beauty, in this cntext, was nt an escape frm reality, but a way f enduring it. The flwers did nt deny hardship; they answered it.
40 Visitrs cme nt nly t admire the headdresses, but t wear them and experience the culture. The flwer headdresses f Quanzhu are nt nly rnaments, but signs f memry, resilience, and identity. They may seem light and delicate, but what they carry is unexpectedly strng.
Then they turn t the beautiful flwers.
Life, hwever uncertain, might still pen tward jy.
Tday, this ld custm is entering a new stage f life.
Everyne has an equal right t appreciate the flwers.
It lived n amng rdinary wmen whse lives were shaped by the sea.
Yet t see this traditin nly as decratin is t miss its deeper meaning.
Against such a backgrund, the flwer headdress seems almst unexpected.

Because I had n mercy n animals, it didn’t even crss my mind: “Wait a minute. Smene shuld be taking care f this dg” r “wh is ging t be respnsible fr her?” It just didn’t. I was nt respnsible fr the dg.

M: If being asked abut the best teacher I’ve ever had, I’ll mentin Ms. Jhnsn. It was such a lng time ag-the
furth grade, but I still remember her because she had such a pwerful influence n my life. When I started schl, I was an average student with just enugh enthusiasm, but after the furth grade, I was full f energy.
One day, Ms. Jhnsn asked all the students t write an essay t enter a writing cntest. I didn’t d it until the very last day, because I had been lazy since kindergarten.
“Patick,” she said t me in private as I came t schl ne mrning, “yur essay is very gd.” I pened my muth wide, finding that unbelievable. “Really? I thught it was terrible,” I said in amazement. “N. I think yu have sme talent, and I’m ging t enter it fr the city-level cmpetitin,” Ms. Jhnsn said. She did it. Three mnths later, a gld medal came int my hands and she cngratulated me. She said, “Yu never knw hw gd yu are until yu try.”
I cried suddenly. I hugged Ms. Jhnsn and thanked her fr helping me build my cnfidence.
