Focus on students' mental well-being

Student life is an incredibly joyful time. Every moment unveils new mysteries. Going to school in groups, chatting with friends, playing games, and the love and affection of teachers – all of these make student life truly special. This period stays with a person for the rest of their life. As they grow older, people often feel regret, wishing they could relive those days. The anxiety of exams sometimes overwhelms many, and some even have nightmares about them in later life.

The Dinosaur Highway

This morning, a report published by CNN caught my attention. Scientists have discovered a "Dinosaur Highway"—a path used by massive dinosaurs to travel in groups 166 million years ago. This highway is located at the Derves Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire, England. The discovery began when quarry worker Gary stumbled upon large footprints during excavation work. Subsequently, a team of 100 volunteers from the University of Birmingham and the University of Oxford unearthed 200 enormous footprints. It didn’t take long to identify these as dinosaur tracks, and the site was named the "Dinosaur Highway."

Does sitting in the rear increase survival in plane accidents?

Between December 25 and January 5, at least six plane crashes occurred, resulting in the loss of at least 221 lives. Notably, on December 25, an Azerbaijan Airlines flight crashed in Grozny, Chechnya, and on December 29, a plane crashed at a South Korean airport with 181 passengers onboard.
