21、There’s no shortage of health food trends on TikTok, but which ones are actually sensible? And should you skip any of them altogether? We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto, and here’s what you need to know.
Emily Mariko’s Salmon Bowl
Made with rice, baked salmon, soy sauce and spicy mayo — and to be clear, there are a lot of different variations of it online — this passes Rissetto’s test because it’s healthy, fast, easy and has good flavor.
Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe, she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
Healthy Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that’s healthy? This is too good to be true, right? The answer is probably yes.
Rissctto says that while this may be healthy, it probably doesn’t taste good.
“I’m certain this tastes like cardboard, ”she said. “If you don’t care about taste — then this is for you.”
Lettuce Water For Sleep
While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make “lettuce water” for better sleep probably won’t cure your sleep disorder — and it probably doesn’t taste great, either.
“This is not a thing. There’s no evidence to prove it,” Rissetto said. “Instead, steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep.”
Nature’s Cereal
As Rissetto points out, it’s basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
“I am all for having berries and coconut water,” she said. “Nutrition-wise, this has lots of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It’s basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout.”
【1】What is special about Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl?
A．It doesn’t taste great.
B．It is good for health.
C．Its recipe is not fixed.
D．It uses two kinds of rice.
【2】Which recipe doesn’t Rissetto recommend?
A．Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl.
B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep.
D．Nature’s cereal.
【3】Which food suits you best after playing a football match?
A．Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl.
B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep.
D．Nature’s cereal.
22、A new technique using drones (无人机) to count lions in the wild has been tested in Uganda. The drones were used by scientists from The University of Queensland, Australia, to get a more accurate idea of lion populations. At the moment, it is thought that there are between 20,000 and 30,000 wild lions left in Africa. However, the team’s recent findings suggest that there are far fewer lions in the wild than experts previously thought.
Alexander Braczkowski, the lead researcher, spent a year monitoring and filming the big cats in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area. In this part of Africa, the lions have a habit of spending time lying around in trees. Using a drone, Braczkowski was able to get close to each one and take high-quality photos of its whisker (胡须) pattern. This was useful because each lion’s whisker pattern is unique. The team could then differentiate individual lions using the photos and be sure they were not counting individuals twice. Braczkowski says this is much more accurate than the current counting methods.
One common way to count lions in an area is to estimate the number in one small part of that area, according to how many lion tracks that researchers find. This number is then multiplied to calculate an estimate for how many lions are in the larger area. However, Braczkowski says this is not as reliable as the new way because lions are not evenly spread out in the wild and the number of lions varies from area to area. Another is to go out at night and play the sound of a distressed prey animal, such as an antelope, through a loudspeaker. The lions are counted as they emerge to find out what the noise is. The trouble with this method is that researchers might count the same lions twice in the dark or miss some, because not all of them might appear.
Braczkowski says people should start using the drone method for counting. Knowing for certain how many lions are in the wild will allow conservationists to know where the big cats are and how to protect them best.
【1】What does the research show?
A．The new technique remains to be tested.
B．The lions in Africa are more than thought.
C．The authenticity of lion populations is challenged.
D．The previous research findings are thoroughly right.
【2】What does the underlined word “differentiate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Restrict.
B．Defend.
C．Trick.
D．Identify.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The usage of the new way.
B．The strengths of the new way.
C．The reliability of the common ways.
D．The inaccuracy of the common ways.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Testing wild lions’ calculating ability
B．Effective measures to protect wild lions
C．Using drones to count lions in the wild
D．Scientific ways to predict the number of wild lions
23、High School Studio Workshops
Single museum visit, 2.5 hours
Grades 9–12
These half-day art workshops include an in-depth examination and discussion of works of art in the galleries, followed by behind-the-scenes access to the Education Studio, where students create a related art project.
During the workshop, National Gallery of Art educators will encourage students to look carefully at works of art and then share their responses and develop theories based on their observations.
Students will have the opportunity to create a work of art in the studio inspired by what they have seen in the galleries.
Museum Makers: Exploring Art and Museums
Grades 11–12
The Museum Makers program explains how museums operate and what they have to offer. It gives upper-level high school students the tools to experience, understand and interpret art. Participants will gain an insider’s view of how an art museum works.
Students meet for seven Saturday sessions from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Completion of the program requires attendance of all seven sessions.
Creative Writing in the Galleries
Grades 7–12, 90 minutes
Students will provide a voice for their personal responses to art through creative writing while looking at a selection of artworks in the galleries.

24、The Elementary Science Fair Planning Guide
The most helpful, scientific, kid-friendly science Fair project planner known to kids.
A Model, Display or Collection:
Shows how something works in the real world, but doesn’t really test anything.
Examples of display or collection projects can be: “The Solar System,” “Types of Dinosaurs,” “My Coin Collection.”
Examples of models might be: “How a Tornado Forms” or “How an Electric Motor Works”.
An Experiment:
Lots of information is given, but it also has a project that shows testing being done and the gathering of data.
Examples of experiments can be: “The Effects of Detergent（洗衣粉）on the Growth of Plants” or “Which Paper Towel is more Absorbent”.
