In our interconnected world, cultural ambassadors play a vital role in bridging the gaps between different nations and peoples. These dedicated individuals and groups serve as links between cultures, fostering mutual understanding and respect through various activities and programs. Their mission is to showcase their own cultural heritage while learning about and appreciating others, creating pathways for meaningful dialogue and lasting connections across borders.

Cultural ambassadors employ numerous methods to achieve their goals. They organize traditional festivals and art exhibitions that display unique customs, allowing visitors to experience different cultures firsthand. Language exchange programs enable people to communicate more effectively, while cultural workshops teach traditional crafts, music, and dance. These ambassadors also utilize digital platforms to reach wider audiences, sharing stories and traditions through social media and online events that connect people from different corners of the world.

Despite their important work, cultural ambassadors face several challenges in their mission. Stereotypes and prejudices can create barriers to understanding, while language differences sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Limited resources and funding may restrict their activities, and political tensions between nations can complicate their efforts. However, these dedicated individuals persist in their work, believing that personal connections and shared experiences can overcome these obstacles and promote harmony among different communities.

Looking ahead, the role of cultural ambassadors becomes increasingly significant in our global society. Their efforts to build bridges between nations contribute to reducing conflicts and fostering peace. Through their continued dedication to promoting cross-cultural understanding, these ambassadors help create a more inclusive and connected world where differences are celebrated rather than feared. This ongoing process of cultural exchange remains essential for building a future based on mutual respect and cooperation.

Mountain Lions Amid Wildfires: A Struggle for Survival

Beth Pratt, the California director for the National Wildlife Federation, has spent her career protecting Los Angeles’ mountain lions. These top predators live in a rocky area surrounded by fancy houses and many roads. When wildfires destroy vast stretches of open land, the survival options for these animals become critically limited. “This is the LA area—these mountain lions can’t just move into the Kardashians’ backyard,” Pratt says, her voice filled with concern for the animals in such a difficult situation.

(I) The chaparral vegetation, covering about 10% of California, is one of the world’s most flammable ecosystems. (II) In Los Angeles, suburban sprawl intrudes on these areas, blocking wildlife escape routes. (III)Fires strip the land of food and shelter, transforming vibrant ecosystems into barren landscapes. (IV) Pratt highlights the urgency of the situation, explaining how areas that once supported life are now “taken out of commission,” leaving many species to starve or struggle for survival.

The consequences extend beyond wildlife. Wildfires have caused devastating human losses, with 88,000 people evacuated and a rising death toll of 25. Meanwhile, the non-human world suffers equally, particularly endangered species with limited ranges. Red-legged frogs, reintroduced into Santa Monica streams in 2014, are among the most affected, with their habitats repeatedly destroyed. The Woolsey Fire of 2018 was followed by mudslides that wiped out much of the region's delicate ecosystem, and scientists fear similar outcomes this time. California newts, reptiles, and snakes are also at high risk, while mammals and birds, although more likely to escape, face challenges in finding food and shelter as the ecosystem bounces back.

Despite the devastation, hope remains. The chaparral is a fire-adapted ecosystem, and life often endures beneath the soil. Seeds can survive and germinate quickly, with grasses sprouting weeks after the first rain. Shrubs may take up to a decade to recover, depending on rainfall. Prof. Stefan Doerr, an expert on wildfires, emphasizes the resilience of this landscape, noting its evolutionary adaptation to high-intensity fires occurring every 30 to 100 years. While the aftermath looks bleak, these fires play a role in maintaining biodiversity, offering a glimmer of hope for recovery.

Which of the following is NOT a factor threatening chaparral vegetation?

Thông điệp chính Sô-lô-khốp muốn gửi tới người đọc qua tác phẩm Số phận con người là gì?

      Mặc dù tiến lên chủ nghĩa tư bản, song Nhật Bản vẫn duy trì quyền sở hữu ruộng đất phong kiến. Tầng lớp quý tộc, đặc biệt là giới võ sĩ Samurai, vẫn có ưu thế về chính trị rất lớn. Họ chủ trương xây dựng Nhật Bản bằng sức mạnh quân sự. Tình hình đó làm cho đế quốc Nhật có đặc điểm là chủ nghĩa đế quốc phong kiến quân phiệt.

Cùng với sự phát triển của chủ nghĩa tư bản là sự bần cùng hóa của quần chúng nhân dân lao động. Công nhân Nhật Bản phải làm việc mỗi ngày từ 12 đến 14 giờ, trong những điều kiện rất tồi tệ mà tiền lương lại thấp hơn rất nhiều so với ở các nước châu Âu và Mĩ. Sự bóc lột nặng nề của giới chủ đã dẫn đến nhiều cuộc đấu tranh của công nhân đòi tăng lương, cải thiện đời sống, đòi quyền tự do, dân chủ.

Sự phát triển của phong trào công nhân là cơ sở cho việc thành lập các tổ chức nghiệp đoàn. Năm 1901, Đảng Xã hội dân chủ Nhật Bản được thành lập, dưới sự lãnh đạo Ca-tai-a-man Xen.

Read the passage carefully

1. Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.

2. The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

3. On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't  agree.

4. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.

5. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
