14．　　Gabby Salazar takes photographs of valuable species(物种) and teaches people about them. In this interview, she answers questions about her experience with citizen (市民) science.
　　What was your first citizen science project?
　　Gabby Salazar:It was over 10 years ago. One of my friends in Peru was very interested in birds. So we walked around with our cameras and notebooks for a day. We saw many different species, and we took photos of them. Later, we posted all our information on eBird.
　　What is eBird?
　　Gabby Salazar:It's an Internet-based citizen science project at Cornell University in the United States. People around the world record information about birds they see. Today, eBird has over 590 million records of more than 10, 000 different bird species. Scientists use the information to answer important questions. For example:Where do certain birds live?How many are there?
　　How can a person become a citizen scientist?
　　Gabby Salazar:It's easy. First, find a project that you like online. One of my favorites is iNaturalist, which studies animals and plants. Then download(下载) the project's app and use your phone to take pictures. When you're done, send year photos to iNaturalist. It's a great way to learn about your environment, and you also support scientists with their research.
　　If you can't take photos, you can still do something for citizen science. For example, you can take part in a fun project called Wildwatch Kenya. Experts hide cameras in trees and other places. When an animal moves past, the camera takes a photo. Citizen scientists then review the photos online and tell the animals they see from others.

The next morning, the roses are put into boxes and trucked to Bogota Airport to be sold to the United States. The roses arrive at markets in different U. S. cities the following day. These markets spend lots of time on the huge task of sorting them. Finally, the flowers are sent to be sold.

　　For the past 30 years, Richard Sears, also known as "Uncle Hanzi" by the Chinese, (1)      to one thing:telling the stories behind Chinese characters.
　　His interest in Chinese characters goes back to 1972, when he was studying physics at university in the US. "I wanted to see the world (2)      . But then I realized only 7% of the world's people speak English as their mother language. So I decided to learn another one," this American man recalled.
　　By 1990, Sears spoke Chinese quite well, but he still could hardly wrote it. To Sears, Chinese characters were difficult. "I'm a physicist, so I don't like (3)       memorization. I knew that Chinese characters came from pictographs(象形文字), so I wanted to know the stories behind them."
　　In 2002, he set up his website and named it Chinese Etymology where visitors can check for free the (4)      of Chinese characters. For example, the Chinese character jia, which means home, has a rooftopin the upper part and a big pig in the (5)      part. A long time ago, a building(6)      into two parts. The upper part was for people to live(7)      the other part was the place to raise animals. Such a building(8)       room foods(洪水) and wild animals. It is the earliest jia.
　　In September 2021, Sears set up his studio in Nanjing(9)       which focuses on making a set of videos to tell stories of Chinese culture and character origins(起源). " For young Chinese and foreign learners of Chinese characters, these videos not only are (10)      and interesting, but also show the origins of Chinese characters in a clear way, " he says.

The capsule has room for four members, including Dr. Sian Proctor, a college professor who was nearly chosen as a NASA astronaut in 2009, Chris Sembroski, who used to be part of the US Air Force and now works for an airline company, (3)      
　　Though this is the first"all amateur(外行)"fight, it's clear that the members have a lot of knowledge and experience. (4)      The Inspiration4 mission orbits(沿轨道运行) 575 km above the earth. That's about 150 km higher than the ISS. Inspiration4 doesn't have professional astronauts running the mission and the whole trip is run automatically(自动地).

25．　　Do you have trouble sitting through a movie without checking your phone?Does your family complain about your continuous social media habit?If your answer is yes, you may be experiencing FOMO.
　　FOMO is short for fear of missing out, which actually is a worry that others might be having better experiences without you. In other words, people are always interested in what others are doing.
　　Researchers have found that FOMO makes us check social media more often. In fact, it is a kind of bad cycle that can be hard to break. As a result, it can make you feel depressed(沮丧的), lonely and bored. Your feelings will be easily influenced by others and your life starts to be controlled by the outside world. So what should we do?Let's see some useful tips.
　　●Change your focus.
　　Rather than focusing on what you don't have, try noticing what you have. Everyone owns their own success. Try to reduce your screen time, focus on building your own way to success and do what you like. Live in the moment, and you will find nothing is missed out in your life!
　　●(4) .
　　You can try to record fun memories and experiences, either online or on paper. The diary can change your focus from public admiration to private appreciation(欣 赏) of what makes your life great. It can sometimes help you to get out of the cycle of FOMO.
　　●Find real connections.
　　You may find yourself looking for a greater connection when you are feeling worried, and this is healthy. Rather than trying to connect more with people on social media, why not meet someone in person?You can choose to talk with families, make plans with a good friend and create group outing. They can help you shake that feeling that you are missing out.
　　Let's put down our phones and spend more time on offline life. Forget FOMO and try to experience JOMO﹣﹣joy of missing out!
