Terry Fox never thought he'd live a great life. He liked sports, but no one thought he was talented. However, Terry was1for one reason — he had determination.

Terry was too short for basketball, but he worked harder at it. He also practiced cross-country running though he didn't like it. Finally he2the basketball team and even won the Athlete of the Year Award later.

During his first year at university, he had a (n)3in his right knee, which was so bad that he couldn't stand up. He went to the doctor for4. The doctor told that he had cancer. He was going to lose one of his5and be given an artificial one.

Terry's family and friends all gave him support. "Knowing that all those people cared about me really helped me," Terry said. He decided to face it with courage and6.

One night Terry was7through an article. It was about Dick Traum, who also had an artificial leg and had8the New York City Marathon. "If he can do it," thought Terry, "I can, too. I'll run across Canada and9money for cancer research. It will be a Marathon of Hope!"

Terry did just that. He began to run a little every day. It is 5,300 miles across Canada. Terry hoped to run thirty to forty miles a day so that it would take him less than six months. Most of all, he hoped to raise $1 million for cancer research. Because Terry had an artificial leg, running wasn't10. People supported Terry. As he ran, they11and cheered. However, he had to give up the Marathon after 3,339 miles, with a sharp pain in his chest. He told the people before he left, "I won't12. I just hope people will13to give money. " And they did. More than $23 million was given. Terry14a lot of awards all his life. He passed away on June 28, 1981, almost a year after his Marathon of Hope. He was considered a15in all areas of his life.

Everyday Habits of People with Impressive Memory

People with impressive memory generally admit that they use various strategies to improve their ability. But even if you're not a memory genius, there are things you can try.

Establish routines

For example, always hang your car keys on a hook or put them in the same place by the front door. By following established routines, you are decreasing the chance of having to struggle in the morning rush, which is believed to contribute to forgetfulness.

Use Post-it notes

Keep some in every room and stick a reminder where you are most likely to see it. If you need to remember to phone a friend later in the day, put a note on the phone so that you will notice it during the day.

Embrace the technology

Your cell phone comes with a built-in calendar you can set to remind you of what you need to do during the day. Use it! Having access to them wherever you go with a smartphone only makes them even more effective. There is a saying that what gets scheduled gets done.

Research indicates that most people need six to eight hours of sleep (that's at least two cycles of deep sleep) per night for their brain to go through the chemical changes needed for long-term memory. A good sleep can make all the difference in your brain power and therefore gives you a sharpened mind.

Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel(旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you'll often get to stay in a central location(位置) with security and comfort.

Yellow Hostel

If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It's one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It's affordable, and it's got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it's close to the main train station.

Hostel Alessandro Palace

If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There's also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.

Youth Station Hostel

If you're looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn't charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.

Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes

Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it's close to all of the city's main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.

Part drama, part dark comedy, the film To the Bone talks about a young woman's struggle with anorexia(厌食症). Though the film has already got generally positive reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, it has caused a hot debate about whether it could be harmful to those with eating disorders.

Critics of the film have focused on the leading role Lily: a thin, young, white woman with anorexia. They think there're some plots that have made eating disorders look like trends instead of life-threatening illnesses. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anorexia has the highest mortality rate (死亡率) of any mental illness. Thirty million Americans struggle with eating disorders at some point in their life.

Director Marti Noxon based the film on her own battle against anorexia. She was aware of the film's potential to have harmful effects and then tried to be really careful in the way she showed how Lily looked. "You want to help other people understand something that they've never experienced, but you also want people who have experienced it to feel understood and seen," she added. "We are balancing a lot. I want to avoid the idea that the perfectionism of anorexics is their most obvious character. "The film caught the attention of Liana Rosenman, who founded Project HEAL, an organization that helps eating disorder sufferers afford treatment. "I think it is very powerful," Rosenman said. "There is a sense of humor and wisdom in it as well as just understanding what it's like to have an eating disorder. " Project HEAL recently played To the Bone in New York and Los Angeles, but it has faced sharp criticism from members of their community on social media.

It's been a few years since my three-month trip across Europe, but it is by far one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. If you have decided to go on this kind of journey, I have put together a list of important things to share with you, based on my own experiences.

You might be thinking now that you won't have time or the desire to talk to anyone back at home while you are on your great adventure. However, once you've been away for a week or two, you might start to change your idea and want to tell anything you see to them. So it's always a good idea to have a phone card that works internationally, just in case.

Before you buy a phone card plan, make sure of checking the rates! You don't want to come home with a $ 500 phone bill! In order to make sure I didn't overspend on the phone, I purchased a few $50 prepaid phone cards before I left, and then used my minutes sparingly.

Memories are never as clear, years later, as you want them to be. Pictures are nice, but you may find yourself wondering, "What was the name of that place?" Keep a diary so that you can record your daily activities, the names of people you met in a certain city, and exciting things you got to see or do.

If you don't have enough money, you can choose to stay in hostels (招待所), which are by far the cheapest way in most of Europe. And you can also take a sleeping bag with you, which will make you have a better sleep, if you have room in your pack and you don't mind the extra weight. But in my opinion, it might take up much room; you'd better not take one.

Katherine Johnson whose life was described in the movie Hidden Figures died on February 24, 2020, aged 101. The 2016 movie describes a real story of a female African-American mathematician who joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) and led a mission to put the first man on the moon in the 1950s when racial discrimination was widespread.

"NASA is deeply saddened by the loss of a leader from our pioneering days," said NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine on the webpage of NASA. "Ms. Johnson helped our nation enlarge the frontiers (边界) of space and she also played an important role in opening doors for women and people of color to explore space. At NASA we will never forget her courage, leadership and the achievements we could not have reached without her. "

Johnson was born in West Virginia in 1918. She graduated from West Virginia State University as a mathematics major and became a teacher at a public school. She was also the first African-American woman to attend graduate school in mathematics at West Virginia University. But less than one year later, she left school to focus on raising children.

Her life changed in 1952 after a long career break. A relative told her about open positions at the all-black West Area Computing section at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics's Langley laboratory, and she began to work at Langley the next year. NASA depended on humans for complicated aerospace(航空航天) calculation as there was no high-functioning electronic computer. Female mathematicians usually took the job as their salary was lower. Johnson was one of those African-American human computers.

​Johnson was initially in charge of aerospace analysis and assigned to a space development mission launched in 1958. Then she worked for the 1961 suborbital (亚轨道的) flight of astronaut Alan Shepard and the 1962 orbital flight of John Glenn. Johnson continued to participate in missions after she retired in 1986. Her hidden achievements were finally publicized when former U.S. President Barack Obama granted her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and her dramatic life was made into a movie.

Artemis is NASA's new lunar exploration program. Through the Artemis program, NASA will use new technology to study the Moon in new and better ways, and prepare for human missions to Mars.

NASA's new rocket will carry the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit. Then, astronauts will dock(对接) Orion at a small spaceship called Gateway, from where the crew will take trips to the lunar surface in a new human landing system, and then return to Gateway. The crew will return to the Earth aboard Orion. NASA will test the rocket and spacecraft in flight, and then send a crew for a test flight:

Artemis 1 will be a test flight of the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft and with no crew.

Artemis 2 will launch the SLS rocket and Orion with a crew, which will fly past the Moon, then circle it and return to the Earth. This trip will be the farthest one any human has experienced in space.

Artemis 3 will send a crew, including the first woman astronaut and a black astronaut, to the Moon by 2024. The Artemis 3 crew will visit the Moon's South Pole. No one has ever been there.

At the Moon, astronauts will:

Search for the Moon's water and use it.

Learn how to live and work on the surface of another celestial body (天体) where astronauts are just three days' flight from home.

Test the technologies we need before sending astronauts on missions to Mars, which can take an up-to-three-year round trip.

The Moon is a good place to learn new science. NASA will learn more about the Moon, the Earth and even the Sun. The Moon is a "test bed" for Mars. The Moon is a place to show that astronauts will one day be able to work away from the Earth on Mars for long periods of time.

Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage — I carried an 85-pounder back last year.

This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I'm unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.

With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork(软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.

My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. "I'm going to set it down, now," I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. "I can't get it out!" I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.
