'Tm a runner myself since high school, and the one thing I see among inexperienced ninners is that they tend to go out and run roughly the same distance at roughly the same pace every time J Koch says. "It's easy to understand why their fitness might plateau or they might lose interest overFitbod“What's really interesting about Fitbod is that it uses AI, or artificial intelligence, explains Koch.

Tash knew it was only a matter of time before the woman's young child became fussy （难缠的）,and she felt for the mum, who appeared upset and embarrassed.Having been in a similar position in the past, Tash didn't hesitate to jump in and pay for her shopping. Her reasoning was simple: "Pay it forward.” "It was just really nice to help her out,“ Tash says. "It was only S 50 or something like that, it wasn't a huge amount. But afterwards, the woman gave me a hug and had tears in her eyes. and I got a bit emotional as well.”“In today's day and age, with what we're all going through, just to get that feeling 4Oh wow, there is good out there'. il's nice to hear there is a bit of humanity,M Tash says.People start to help others by doing things fbr other people. But you don't have to break the bank, or even open your wallet, to give paying it forward a go. Psychologist Dr Lishman says offering compliments or praise to strangers, or hand-making items or food for those in need, can serve the same purpose. Alternatively, donating clothes or books to a charity or mentoring （指导）a student can also be considered ways to get involved. All you need is to set out with the intention of helping someone you don't know, without any expectation of reward, acknowledgement or payback.That can lead to an increased sense of connection and a rise in feel good hormones, which floods us with positive emotions.

He is making an effori lo stop global deforestation （滥伐）.Founder of the San Francisco- based Nonprofit Rainforest Connection, White has developed a simple but ingenious strategy: using old cell phones to listen for the sound of destruction.Forests are disappearing worldwide and fast, which not only harms wildlife, including many species that live nowhere else, but also contributes to climate change. 4tI didn't know any of this stuff when I started,5, says White, who began his journey in 2011, when he traveled to Indonesian Borneo to help decreasing gibbons （长臂猿）.Between 50 and 90 percent of the logging （采伐）that happens in the world's rain forests is illegal, according to White, yet detecting that activity can be tough. So he has developed a system in which he uses a cell phone staying charged by solar cells and an extra microphone. From there, the device can detect the sounds of chainsaws （电锯）nearly a mile away.Because it's unfeasible to have people listening to （he devices all the lime, he added some “old-school data analysis,so that the cell phone's computers can distinguish a chainsaw's sound from others in the forest. This way, his device can automatically detect logging activity and send a text alert to authorities who can determine if it's illegal and then stop it.So far, his monitoring system has been used in Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil and will soon be deployed in Bolivia. It's not just about listening for logging. Also, it can pick out the sounds of specific birds, which is why White sees the fbrest recordings as a potential science tool. He is urging biologists and ecologists to use his monitoring system anywhere, whether it's a remote fbrest or a park in London. 4tThe more we learn about these places/' he says, “the easier it will be to protect them.”What made Topher White decide to stop global deforestation?A. The problem of global climate change.B. The association of Nonprofit Rainforest Connection.C. The experience of travelling to Indonesian Borneo in 2011.D.

The taco feast celebrated the first time peppers were successfully grown on the International Space Station.“Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,“ said Matt Romeyn, project scientist at NASA, in a statement. The benefits of growing vegetables in space are obvious, but how are they grown?Though astronauts have been growing plants in space for decades, cultivating edible （可 食“J 的）food without the benefits of gravity and natural light has been difficult. A plant growth system called. Veggie has been used to grow plants on the space station since 2014. according to The New York Times.The Veggie garden is about the size of a piece of luggage and typically holds six plants.Each plant grows in a “pillow” filled with clay and fertilizer. The “pillows” are important for distributing water, nutrients and air in a healthy balance around the roots. Otherwise, the roots would either drown in water or be swallowed by air because liquids in space tend to form bubbles （气泡）,according to NASA.In the absence of gravity, plants use other environmental factors, such as light, to guide growth, LEDs above the plants produce a light suited for the plants' growth. According to NASA, Veggie typically glows （发光）pink, which enables plants to use both blue and red wavelengths more efficiently. Other spectrums of light, like greens, yellows or oranges, are less useful for plants.So far, US astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops, including lettuce and radish, on the space station since 2015, according to CNN.Why pick peppers?According to CNN, peppers were chosen for multiple reasons. Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants sclf-pollinatc （自授花粉的）, so they are easy to grow. And they are a pick and eat crop that doesn't have to be cooked. They also contain low microbial levels, so they are safe to eat raw.11.

He became the first to examine different fossil types with a microscope and he32 how mosquitoes suck blood.After the Great Fire of London in 1666, Hooke was given the opportunity to try his33 at architecture to design a monument and decided to 34 some practicality to the aesthetic （美学）.35 this 60-metre-tall structure, Hooke built anunderground 36 where he could conduct science experiments, while the central passage was built to 37 a large telescope.Since his death in 1703, scientists continue to be 38 and benefit from Hooke's findings.
