1.Intangible cultural heritage, often referred to as the “living memory” of humanity, is not merely a collection of ancient skills and traditions but a dynamic treasure that shapes cultural identity and fosters a sense of belonging among communities.
非物质文化遗产常被称为人类的 “活态记忆”,它不仅仅是古老技艺和传统的集合,也是一种塑造文化认同、培养社群归属感的动态宝藏。
2.In the face of rapid globalization and urbanization, many traditional crafts and performing arts are on the verge of extinction, making it essential to take immediate action to safeguard these fragile forms of cultural expression.
面对快速的全球化和城市化进程,许多传统手工艺和表演艺术正濒临消亡,因此立即采取行动保护这些脆弱的文化表现形式变得至关重要。
3.True protection of intangible cultural heritage lies not in preserving it as a static museum piece, but in empowering young inheritors to integrate modern elements into time-honored traditions, ensuring their relevance in the contemporary world.
对非物质遗产的真正保护,不在于将其作为静态的博物馆展品封存,而在于赋能年轻传承人,让他们将现代元素融入悠久传统,确保其在当代世界的现实意义。
4.As UNESCO emphasizes, safeguarding intangible cultural heritage is a shared responsibility of the international community, which promotes mutual respect and dialogue among different civilizations on a global scale.
正如联合国教科文组织所强调的,保护非物质文化遗产是国际社会的共同责任,这在全球范围内促进了不同文明之间的相互尊重与对话。
China, a civilization with more than 5,000 years of history, is accelerating efforts 1.to protect(protect) and carry forward its cultural heritage through stronger institutions, new technologies, expanding public cultural services, and 2.deeper(deep) international cooperation.
From 2021 to 2025, four cultural sites—namely the Beijing Central Axis, an ensemble of ancient landmark structures; the Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er; the Xixia Imperial Tombs 3.dating(date) from the 11th to 13th centuries; and the ancient maritime trade center of Quanzhou—4.were added(add) to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Boasting a total of 60 sites, the country now ranks second globally, just behind Italy with 61 sites.
According to Xie Bing, deputy head of the National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA), steady progress is being made to nominate 5.additional (addition) sites, including Jingdezhen's handmade porcelain industry heritage sites in Jiangxi, the Sanxingdui and Jinsha ruins in Sichuan, the ancient waterfront towns south of the Yangtze River, and the Maritime Silk Road.
Behind the 6.expansion(expand) of China's World Heritage roster is a growing national commitment to cultural heritage preservation. China has proposed advancing cultural heritage protection more systematically and placing 7.it under unified supervision and inspection during the 2026-2030 development period.
This move builds on changes over the past five years, as the country moves away from a model focused mainly 8.on emergency restoration toward one that integrates both rescue and preventive conservation, 9.while placing greater emphasis on the meaningful use of cultural relics.
The legal framework has been strengthened. The deputy head of the NCHA noted that China has now established a comprehensive legal system 10.centered (center) on the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, supported by six administrative regulations, 10 ministerial rules and more than 400 local regulations.
Venting Doesn't Reduce Anger, But Something Else Does
Adapted from Science Alert
When people feel angry, many believe they should “let it out”. This idea, called catharsis, compares anger to steam that must escape from a pressure cooker. Yet a study that looked at 154 earlier pieces of research shows this picture is wrong. Scientists from Ohio State University found almost no proof that venting lowers anger, and in some cases it even makes anger grow.
“Blowing off steam sounds helpful, but science does not back it,” says Dr Brad Bushman, one of the leaders of the review. The study warns that venting often turns into rumination, where people go over the same angry thoughts again and again. Physical exercise, while good for the body, may also keep anger alive by raising arousal (兴奋).
So what does work? The key, the researchers say, is to reduce physiological arousal. Calming activities such as deep breathing, yoga, or taking a short timeout all proved useful in both laboratory and real-life settings. Even simple steps like counting to ten can help.
The team also examined “rage rooms” where people pay to smash plates or old computers. These places have become popular because they seem to offer an easy way to release fury. However, the review shows that such actions often feed, not fight, the feeling.
Interestingly, some kinds of exercise that are usually arousing can still aid anger control if they are fun. Playing ball games with friends, for example, lowered arousal more than jogging alone.
Dr Sophie Kjærvik, another author, points out that the same tools we use to manage daily stress—mindfulness apps, relaxation videos—can tame anger as well. “You don't need expensive therapy,” she says. “Free resources on your phone are enough to start cooling down.”
In short, anger should not be buried, nor should it be poured out. Turning down the inner heat, not letting off steam, is the safer path to peace.

[翻译] 另一位作者苏菲·克耶维克博士指出,我们用来管理日常压力的那些工具——正念应用、放松视频——也能平复愤怒。
An Ohio State review of 154 studies disproves the catharsis theory: venting does not reduce 1.anger and may fuel it by causing rumination. Instead, reducing physiological arousal via 2.calming activities (e.g., deep breathing, yoga) or fun social exercise effectively 3.controls anger, as shown by scientists.
A Merry Christmas
Excerpt from Little Women
美国南北战争时期,一个普通家庭的四个姐妹的成长之路。
Jo was the first to wake up① on Christmas morning. No presents② were next to the fireplace, and for a moment she felt disappointed as③ she remembered long ago when she would awake to find presents filling④ the sitting room. Then, she remembered her mother's promise, and went to wake her sisters.
“Where is Mother?” asked Meg, as she and Jo ran down the stairs.
“Some poor children came here begging for⑤ your mother's help, and she went right away to see what⑥ the children needed.I've never met another woman so generous⑦,” replied Hannah, who⑧ had lived with the family since Meg was born, and was considered⑨ by them all more as a friend than⑩ a servant.
“She will be back soon, so let's finish getting breakfast ready,”said Meg.
“Now there's Mother coming. Hide the gifts, quick!”cried Jo, as⑪ the door opened.
“Merry Christmas, Marmee!”they cried together.
“Merry Christmas, little daughters! Now, I want to ask you something before we sit down for breakfast. Not far away from here lies a poor woman with a newborn baby.⑫ Six children are freezing together in one bed, for⑬ they have no fire. There is nothing to eat over there, and the oldest boy came to tell me they were suffering from⑭ hunger and cold. My girls, will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?”
They were all quite hungry, and for a minute no one spoke, but Jo soon exclaimed⑮,“I'm glad you came before we began eating!”
“I thought you'd do it,” said Mrs. March, smiling with satisfaction.“We shall all go, and when we come back, we will have bread and milk for breakfast.”
They were soon ready and began their walk to see the sick woman and her children. A poor, miserable⑯ room it was, with broken windows, no fire, a sick mother, crying baby, and a group of pale, hungry children crowded together to keep warm.⑰
Hannah brought wood for the fireplace.Mrs. March gave the mother tea and porridge (粥) and comforted her with promises of help while⑱ she dressed the little baby tenderly (温柔地) as if it had been her own⑲. The girls prepared the table and set the children near the fire, feeding them, laughing and talking. That was a happy breakfast, though⑳ they didn't eat any of it. When they went away, leaving comfort behind㉑ , they were the merriest (最快乐的) girls, and were quite content㉒ with bread and milk on Christmas morning.
After returning home, the girls prepared their presents for their mother. Mrs. March was both surprised and touched by receiving the gifts.The slippers (拖鞋) went on her feet immediately and a new handkerchief (手帕) was put in her pocket, well scented (使具有香味) with Amy's perfume (香水) that was in a fancy bottle she purchased㉓ instead of the pencils she had planned to buy for herself.
The morning events took so much time that㉔ the rest of the day was spent preparing for the evening play, as the family was not wealthy enough to afford going to the theater.On Christmas night, twelve neighbor girls sat on one of the family beds to watch the performance.
The guests watched in wonder㉕,sometimes laughing, crying, or looking㉖ astonished㉗ at the events in the story. At the close of the performance, they cheered and clapped eagerly㉘. Soon after, Hannah came in to announce㉙ that dinner was ready.
This extraordinary㉚ meal was a surprise㉛ to all, and when they saw the table, they looked at each other in amazement㉜. It was not surprising that㉝ Marmee would find a way to surprise the girls with a treat㉞, but such a fine meal as this was never had, since the start of the war. There was ice cream, cake, fruit, chocolates, and in the middle of the table were flowers! They stared at the table in wonder before turning to their mother, looking pleased㉟.
“Our neighbor, old Mr. Laurence sent this to us,”Mrs. March began.
“The Laurence boy's grandfather! I don't know what made him think of doing such a thing.We don't know him!”exclaimed Meg.
“Hannah told one of his servants about your breakfast party. He is an odd (奇怪的) old gentleman, but that pleased㊱ him. He knew my father years ago, and he sent me a polite note this afternoon, saying he hoped I would allow him to send you all a little present.”
“His grandson told him to do it.I know he did! He's such a wonderful young man. I wish we could know him better. He looks as if he'd like to know us, but he's shy.”
“I like his manners㊲ and he looks like a little gentleman, so I would certainly like to know him better,”declared㊳ Amy.
“Yes, we'll have another play sometime that he can come to see. Perhaps he'll help act. Wouldn't that be wonderful?”
“How pretty these flowers are!” exclaimed Meg as she began examining㊴ them with great interest.
“They are lovely!”returned㊵ their mother.
“I wish I could send some to Father. I'm afraid he isn't having such a merry Christmas as we are,” said Beth quietly.
