On Sunday we woke up early and had a nice breakfast. We then headed to a church which I also met with some of my other relative. I tried to catch up what was going on in their lives and work out how we could spend more time together. My father take us to a nice restaurant for a wonderful lunch. Spend time with my family is very important to me and also to themselves. My father spends a plenty of time working outside. Whenever he is at holiday，we make it much special and we play happily.

The 【1】 (tradition) Chinese lunar year divides the year into 24 solar terms. On the first day of Winter Solstice (冬至), the Northern Hemisphere (半球) experiences the 【2】 (short) day in the year. The Winter Solstice also 【3】 (mark) the arrival of the coldest season in the year.

There was a saying 【4】 ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people worshipped (崇拜) the gods on the first day of the Winter Solstice, 【5】 also was the first day of the new year. The Winter Solstice 【6】 (become) a winter festival during the Han Dynasty. 【7】 (celebrate) were officially organized. On this day, both officials and common people would have 【8】 rest.

During the following dynasties, such 【9】 the Tang, Song and Qing dynasties, the Winter Solstice was a day 【10】 (offer) sacrifices (祭祀) to Heaven and to ancestors.

For those who have never tried it, scuba diving (水肺潜水) has the reputation for being 【1】 extreme sport, but this couldn’t be 【2】(far) from the truth. Scuba diving, with all the deep breathing 【3】goes with it, is almost like underwater yoga (瑜伽). It offers people a chance to forget about trouble and focus on the here and now, thus 【4】(provide) a sense of calmness that is hard to find on land.

While scuba diving, you won’t be looking at your phone. Nor will you have to make a mental effort 【5】 (get) away from the real world because physically, you already have! The underwater scenery provides the perfect place to calm your mind with 【6】 (peace) surroundings to admire.

Yoga lays stress on the control of breathing in and out, as breathing 【7】 (consider) the fundamental connection 【8】 body and mind. The number one rule of scuba diving is to breathe 【9】 (constant) and never hold your breath. A diver who is relaxed in body, breath, and mind becomes one with the water. It’s the supreme form of 【10】 (relax) when all you can hear is bubbles and the sound of your own breathing.

Livers are among the most commonly transplanted (移植)human organs. Current technology can only keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours. It is reported that, in 2017, about 8.000 liver transplants were performed in the U.S., of which 360 used livers from living givers In addition, about 11,500 people were registered on a waiting list to receive a liver transplant. Keeping livers alive and functioning for longer periods could greatly improve the chances of survival for patients.

The researchers say the purpose of their “Liver4Life” machine is to perform what they call liver perfusion (灌注)operations outside of the human body. Perfusion is the process by which blood or other liquids are pumped through organs and tissue. The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and moves it in a way that would be natural in the body. Using a pump to fill the liver with blood acting like a human heart, the machine also provides oxygen to the organ, controls red blood cell levels and removes waste.

The research team began their experiments with livers from pigs. After repeated testing and engineering development, they succeeded in getting the pig livers to survive for seven days with support only provided from the Liver4Life machine. They also discovered the system can work to repair damaged livers. The team is now planning its next step to transplant machine-treated organs into patients.

Pierre-Alain Clavien. leader of the research said in a statement. “This technology will greatly increase the number of livers available for transplant, improving the chances of survival for patients. The success of this unique machine opens the way for many new applications in transplantation and cancer medicine.”

When I came to a stoplight, I looked in the mirror. My daughter wasn’t looking out of the window or staring into space - she was on her phone. I felt my anger rise.

“Get off your phone. That is rude. You make me feel like an Uber driver.” I shouted.

“But I’m texting friends about biology homework!’’ she said.

“That can wait.” I was mad and she was angry.

Back home, she disappeared into her room, and I thought about how I was still trying to take control of my daughter’s growing independence, which was fruitless.

The next day I was thinking about my outburst when a parenting program on TV caught my eye, in which the hosts interviewed Dr. Ken Ginsburg, the author of a famous parenting book. It completely changed my attitude.

Ginsburg said. “Why are our teens pushing us away? It’s not because they hate us - it’s because they love us so much and yet they know they have to become independent. So this is a process of figuring out how to push away the things they love the most. It is crazy to fly from a comfortable nest, so teens get ready for it by temporarily pushing their parents away.”

I need to honor her independence and create space for both of us to face this monumental developmental challenge as teammates, not adversaries((对手).
