读了这篇文章之后，媛媛很想说服妈妈也给她养一只小狗，你是否有办法帮她实现这个愿望呢？题外话：和大家分享我最近看的一篇文章《Dogs as important as friends》中的一段文字：Dogs are often described as "man's best friend" because of their close bond with humans—and it seems there could be some truth to the saying. A study has found that dog owners rate the connection they have with their pet as more satisfying than most relationships they have with other humans.

Try to see the positives makes you feel happy and less stressed.选自7 December 2024 - 《The Week Junior》- Wellbeing中的《Look on the bright side》HOPE HEALS希望治愈心灵A study shows that being hopeful can reduce pain and make you feel better faster.一项研究表明，心怀希望可以减轻疼痛，让你更快地感觉好起来。Being hopeful boosts your confidence  Things might seem hard sometimes but there is always a way through. Being hopeful and trying not to give up makes it easier to face challenges and solve problems.事情有时可能看起来很困难，但总有办法解决。心怀希望并努力不放弃，能使你更容易面对挑战和解决问题。（DeepSeek翻译）What does being hopeful mean?  Have you heard the saying “the glass is half full”? This means looking at the good things in a situation, rather than thinking “the glass is half empty”. It gives you the power to keep trying when facing everyday challenges, like managing friendships and staying on top of school work.你听过“半杯水满”的说法吗？这指的是看到处境中好的一面，而不是想着“半杯水空”。它能赋予你在面对日常挑战（如处理友谊关系和保持学业领先）时继续努力的力量。It’s not always easy to be cheerful and positive and it’s natural to feel worried, angry or sad sometimes. However, being hopeful makes you feel more confident and happy, and it can help you overcome things you are worrying about.保持开朗和积极并不总是容易的，有时感到担忧、生气或悲伤是很自然的。然而，心怀希望会让你感觉更自信、更快乐，并且能帮助你克服你所担心的事情。（DeepSeek翻译） How is it good for me?  Studies show that having a positive outlook makes you feel happier, less stressed and helps you sleep better. It’s been found to boost your physical health because you’re more likely to be more active. Researchers have found that when you believe problems can be solved you’re less likely to feel stressed about them, which also helps you overcome challenges. When you’re rehearsing for a school play or music concert, believing things will go well makes you calmer, which improves your performance.研究表明，拥有积极的心态会让你感觉更快乐、压力更小，并有助于你睡得更好。研究发现它能促进身体健康，变得更活跃。研究人员发现，当你相信问题可以解决时，你就不太可能为此感到压力，这也有助于你克服挑战。当你为学校的戏剧或音乐会排练时，相信事情会进展顺利会让你更平静，从而提高你的表现。（DeepSeek翻译）How can I be more positive?  It’s not always easy to believe things will be ok. Being positive isn’t a feeling we can just switch on, but there are steps we can take to try.相信事情会好起来并不总是容易的。积极不是一种我们可以随意开启的感觉，但我们可以采取一些步骤去尝试。Michele Borba is a psychologist (an expert in thoughts and feelings) and author. She recommends catching negative thoughts before they become a habit. “Words have great power,” Borba says, so develop an upbeat saying like “I can do this”, or “There’s always tomorrow.” Another way is to read hopeful news. Look out for inspiring stories in The Week Junior or ask an adult to help you find good sources online. You can practise being positive by celebrating the little things, says Borba. “Recognising even a small success boosts hope,” she explains.米歇尔·博尔巴（Michele Borba）是一位心理学家（研究思维和情感的专家）和作家。她建议在消极想法成为习惯之前就抓住它们。“语言拥有巨大的力量，”博尔巴说，所以要培养一些积极向上的口头禅，比如“我能做到”，或者“明天又是新的一天”。另一种方法是阅读充满希望的新闻。在《The Week Junior》中寻找鼓舞人心的故事，或者请大人帮你在网上找到好的来源。博尔巴说，你可以通过庆祝小事来练习保持积极。“即使认识到一个小小的成功也能增强希望，”她解释道。（DeepSeek翻译）Being hopeful boosts your confidence

Change can bring up big feelings.改变可能引发强烈情绪。Share your thoughts and feelings with someone you trust. It helps to put your worries into words.向信任的人倾诉你的想法和感受。用语言表达担忧会有所帮助。Think of change as an adventure. Ask questions and learn as much as you can about what’s new.将改变视为冒险。多提问，尽可能了解新事物。Look for things that stay the same – maybe you still have your favourite game or book with you. This helps create a sense of comfort.寻找不变的事物——比如你仍拥有最爱的游戏或书籍。这能带来舒适感。Focus on one day or one moment at a time. Celebrate little successes and positives along the way.专注于每一天或每一刻。沿途庆祝小成就和积极时刻。（DeepSeek翻译）选自1 March 2025 - 《The Week Junior》- Wellbeing中的《Coping with change》

Life is always changing. Sometimes that's great but at othertimes it can make us feel unsure and worried. There arelots of benefits in embracing the unexpected - and simplethings you can do to make it easier to deal with life changes.生活总是在不断变化。有时这很棒，但有时也会让我们感到不确定和担忧。接纳不可预知的事物能带来诸多益处——并且有一些简单的方法，可以让应对生活中的变化更加容易。（DeepSeek翻译） What Are Life Changes?  There can be lots of new things that happen in your life. Some can be really positive things that you make happen yourself, like joining a club or making a new friend. However, some changes you face could make you feel worried or uncertain. They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or family life changing because of parents separating. They can be smaller ones like new schedules at home due to parents’ or carers’ working patterns or a teacher you don’t know taking over your class. All of these things can bring up some pretty big feelings – and that’s ok.生活中可能发生许多新事物。有些是你主动促成的积极改变，比如加入社团或交新朋友。但有些改变会让你感到焦虑或不安，例如转学、朋友离开、父母分居导致家庭变化等大事，或父母工作变动导致家庭作息调整、新老师接管班级等小事。所有这些都可能引发强烈情绪——这很正常。（DeepSeek翻译）Why Can It Be Hard to Deal With?  Change can be tricky because it often brings feelings of uncertainty. Emily Hanlon is a child psychologist (someone who studies how children think, feel and behave) who explains, “Our brains love patterns and routines. They make us feel safe. When something changes, like starting a new school or moving to a new home, it can feel like stepping into the unknown. It’s like going on a surprise adventure without a map. This can make us feel nervous or worried because we don’t know what to expect.” Change can also be hard if you don’t feel quite ready for it or that you are not in control of whatever is happening.改变之所以困难，是因为它常伴随不确定性。儿童心理学家艾米丽·汉隆（研究儿童思维、情感和行为的人）解释道：“我们的大脑喜欢规律和惯例，它们让我们感到安全。当发生改变时，比如转学或搬家，就像踏入未知领域，如同没有地图的意外冒险。这会让我们紧张或担忧，因为无法预知结果。”此外，若你觉得自己未准备好或无法掌控局面，改变也会变得艰难。（DeepSeek翻译）Can change be a good thing?  Yes – life would be pretty boring if everything stayed the same all the time. Trying new things and making changes helps you discover what you like – and don’t like. For example, if you didn’t try that new flavour of ice cream, how would you have known you love it? It also helps you to grow and learn skills. Hanlon says, “While change can feel scary, it often leads to new adventures, new friends, and new superpowers – ok, maybe not laser vision, but definitely resilience and confidence.”是的——如果一切始终不变，生活会非常乏味。尝试新事物和做出改变能帮你发现自己喜欢或讨厌什么。例如，若不尝试新口味的冰淇淋，你怎会知道自己爱它呢？改变还能助你成长并学习技能。汉隆说：“尽管改变令人害怕，但它常带来新冒险、新朋友和新超能力——好吧，可能不是激光眼，但一定是韧性和自信。”（DeepSeek翻译）

这个故事脑洞也是蛮大的，你知道里面新出现的人物Admiral Zheng是谁吗？快去查查资料吧！

随着这个系列故事的深入，故事的长度和难度都在增加，越来越不容易了呢！这一期媛媛加了一个“火眼金睛时刻”，指出了自己读的一些小错误。其实要一遍全部读正确是非常难的，难免会有些小错误，但是我觉得，开始读了就迈出了第一步，就会进步，就会有收获！

这篇关于嫦娥和后羿的故事，大家相对还是比较熟悉的。中秋节你喜欢吃月饼吗？你喜欢赏月吗？可以思考一下。
