    Research proves that nearly half of the cancers diagnosed(诊断) in the UK each year-over 130, 000 in total- are caused by life choices that include smoking, drinking and eating the wrong things.

    Tobacco(烟草) is the biggest factor, causing 23% for cases in men and 15.6% in women, says the Cancer Research UK report. Next comes a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in men's diets, while for women it is being overweight. Lead author of the report, Professor Max Parkin, said: "Many people believe cancer is related to fate or in the genes(基因), and that it depends on luck whether they get it or not. Looking at all the evidence, it is clear that around 40% of all cancers are caused by things we mostly have the power to change."

    For men, the best advice appears to be: stop smoking, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut down on how much alcohol you drink. For women, again, the best advice is to stop smoking, but also watch your weight.

    In total, 14 lifestyle and environmental factors, such as where you live and the job you do, cause 134, 000 cancers in the UK each year.

    Some risk（风险） factors are well founded, such as smoking's link with lung cancer. But others are less well recognized. For stomach cancer, a fifth of the risk comes from having too much salt in the diet, data suggests. Some cancers, like mouth and throat cancer, are caused almost entirely by lifestyle choices. But others, like gall bladder cancer(胆囊癌), are largely unrelated to lifestyle.

    Public Health Minister, Anne Milton, said: "By making small changes you can cut your risk of serious health problems- giving up smoking, watching you drink, getting more exercise and keeping an eye on your weight."

    Big data (数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.

    Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.

    Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.

    How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.

  What do children think about when Christmas comes? Many children around the world think about holidays, Christmas 1 under the Christmas tree and the special time with the family. They also think about a big Christmas dinner and 2 carols(圣诞颂歌). When Christmas comes, children decorate(装饰) their 3  with their parents and grandparents. They 4 a Christmas tree with lights, colored balls and many other beautiful things. Many children make their own decorations at school and are very 5 to put them up at home for the whole family to enjoy. 

  People usually 6 Christmas cards from their friends and family near and far. The fridge is always filled 7 pies, fruits and chocolates. A day or two before Christmas, the turkey appears in the fridge. People will cook turkey for Christmas dinner. 

When Christmas comes, we should also remember the 8 and homeless people. We can buy or make presents for the poor people. Why do parents 9 their children to do that? It's because they want to try to 10 their children that it is better to give than to receive. 

Today，we enjoy many tasty and beautiful foods.In China，we not only care about how tea tastes（点茶），a special tea art.People make patterns on tea.People started doing this in the Song Dynasty（朝代）.It shows Chinese people have always cared about the taste and the appearance of tea.

Han Zheming，a 40﹣year﹣old man from Shanghai，has used tea powder（粉末）（勺子）to create almost 200 traditional﹣style patterns on tea.

"The steps of Dian Cha are simple.First，put some tea powder into a cup and carefully pour in hot water.Second，stir it with a bamboo whisk（拂），quickly stir it many times until bubbles appear.When a thick foam（泡沫）forms

Han said，"About Dian Cha，the key is to practice moving your wrist（手腕），you can make patterns.You must be careful but fast before the bubbles disappear."

After thousands of practice，he finally succeeded.But the pattern on tea only lasts for an hour.It's a short﹣lived art.He has shown his art of Dian Cha on Bilibili.More than 20，000 people have followed him on Xiaohongshu，000 views（观看）.Han Zheming said

On October 8th, 2024, a special clinic (诊所) for children with math learning difficulties opened in Shanghai. Now, the clinic is becoming popular among parents, as it offers new ways to discover the secrets of learning math.

 However, most students believe it's more important to form good math learning habits before asking doctors for help. Here is some advice they share.

 Focus on textbooks. Textbooks are mainly about basics like concepts(概念) and formulas(公式). Make sure you understand the basic math knowledge well, because everything about math comes from it.

 Discover your weaknesses through practice.Practicing helps you discover your weak points and know what questions are difficult for you. Then you can set more time for those questions.

 Manage your time well in exams. If you meet a difficult problem in an exam, you are supposed to leave it for later. Don't spend too much time on it until you finish all the other parts of the exam.

 Stay calm and think hard when dealing with difficult problems. They are often built on simple problem-solving skills. Try to break down the questions into smaller steps.
