CCTV News:Recently, smog has resurfaced in Huanghuai and other places in North China. The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that today (18th) will be the most serious day of this round of smog in Huanghuai and other places in North China, with severe haze in 7 provinces and cities. It is expected that the smog in the above areas will gradually weaken or dissipate from the 19th.
In addition, the process of heavy snowfall in northern Xinjiang is coming to an end. Starting from the 20th, the strongest cold air will come in the second half of this year, and the temperature in most parts of China will plummet. North China, Huanghuai and other places may usher in snow at the beginning of this winter.
Early warning: severe haze in 7 provinces and cities and strong fog in 5 areas
The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a yellow warning of haze at 6 o’clock this morning. Today, from day to night, there are moderate haze in parts of central and southern Beijing, Tianjin, central and southern Hebei, northwestern Shandong, central and northern Henan, central Shanxi and Guanzhong, Shaanxi, and severe haze in some areas.

However, from the morning of the 19th, due to the influence of cold air, the haze in the northern region will gradually weaken or dissipate from north to south.
The Central Meteorological Observatory also issued a foggy yellow warning at 6 o’clock this morning. From this morning to this morning, some areas in the eastern Sichuan Basin, central Jiangxi, southern Hunan, northern Guangdong, northern Zhejiang and other places have strong fog with visibility less than 200 meters, and local areas have extremely strong fog with visibility less than 50 meters.
In the second half of the year, the strongest cold air will come to Huanghuai, North China to welcome the first snow
Since November 10th, heavy snowfall has frequently occurred in northern Xinjiang, and some areas have continuously set a record for the deepest snow in November. It is expected that the snowfall in northern Xinjiang will weaken today, and this round of continuous heavy snowfall will end. However, under the continuous influence of cold air, the temperature will collapse. Take Urumqi as an example. In the next three or four days, the local daily maximum temperature will drop below -10℃.
The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that there will still be small to medium snow or sleet in eastern Inner Mongolia, the central part of Northeast China, and the Ili Valley in Xinjiang from day to night. Among them, there are heavy snow in parts of northeastern Inner Mongolia, southwestern Heilongjiang and central Jilin. Affected by cold air, the temperature in the northeast of Xinjiang, the eastern part of northwest China, North China, Northeast China, Huanghuai and other places will also drop by 4 to 8 C from today to the 20th, with the local temperature drop in the central and eastern Inner Mongolia and the southern part of Northeast China reaching more than 10 C. The above areas are accompanied by northerly winds of 4~6.
In the next five or six days, the south will be affected by warm and humid air currents, and there will be more rainy weather in Jiangnan, Jianghuai and Jianghan. Among them, there were small to moderate rains in Jiangnan and South China on the 19th, and there was heavy rain in the local area. In addition, there will be a cold air invading China from 20 to 24, and it is likely to be the strongest cold air in the second half of the year. Affected by this, the temperature in most parts of China plummeted, and the first snowfall this winter is expected in North China, Huanghuai and other places.
This winter is particularly cold? Experts predict that this winter may be a "cold winter" in China.
The source of weather changes is often far away. Meteorologists have judged that the winter of 2016/2017 may be a cold winter in China, which is rooted in the melting changes in the Arctic and the "La Nina event" in the equatorial Middle East and Pacific Ocean.
Experts say that after the rapid melting of Arctic sea ice, the albedo (the ratio of reflected flux to incident flux of solar radiation) decreases, and more energy is stored in the ocean. On the one hand, it will accelerate the melting of ice, on the other hand, more energy will be transmitted from the ocean to the atmosphere, changing the air pressure difference between the Arctic region and the mid-latitude region, and bringing cold air from the Arctic region to the mid-latitude region. The effect of the rapid melting of Arctic sea ice on the temperature is the so-called "warm Arctic-cold continent". The decrease of Arctic sea ice is closely related to the winter temperature and precipitation in China, which will lead to the increase of extremely cold temperature in winter and the appearance of cold winter.
On the other hand, the SST in the equatorial Middle East Pacific entered La Nina state in August, and "took over" the previous super El Ni? o event. Monitoring shows that La Nina is expected to last until winter, which has a great impact on the winter temperature in China.
La Nina is a phenomenon that the sea surface temperature in the equatorial, Middle East and Pacific Ocean is unusually cold, which causes abnormal atmospheric circulation and affects the global climate. At present, the entire equatorial Middle East Pacific is in La Nina state, and it is expected that a weak to moderate intensity La Nina event will be formed in December. When La Ni? a state or La Ni? a event occurs, it is easy to be cold in winter in China. (Source: CCTV News, China Weather Network, Xinhua News Agency)

In the face of social charity, ATFX often conveys the warmth of the enterprise with simple love, and supports charities everywhere with practical actions.

Original title: This special reunion dinner is really delicious!
"Today’s annual meal is very fragrant and warm." On January 30, after eating a special reunion dinner at school, Wang Tongbang, a 2021 graduate student of the Department of Artificial Intelligence Education of Huazhong Normal University, said with emotion.
This year, a total of 161 students from Huazhong Normal University stayed in school for the New Year. On the day before New Year’s Eve, the school invited the students’ representatives who stayed in school during the winter vacation to have a "group annual banquet" and sent the students a New Year gift package and warm wishes. Although this special "Group Year Banquet" took the form of distributing box lunches and scattered meals, the students still lamented: "It smells good!" "I also feel at home when I stay in school for the New Year."
In a conference room in the Nanhu complex of the school, representatives of teachers and students communicate while eating lunch boxes. "I wish the students a prosperous and prosperous Year of the Tiger, and learn something!" The school leaders sent New Year greetings to the students who stayed in school for the New Year, asked about their study and life, and told everyone to pay attention to safety precautions, strengthen physical exercise, and communicate with family and friends more. If you encounter difficulties in life during your stay in school, the school will provide you with all kinds of help in time.
On the same day, Huazhong Normal University also prepared lunch boxes, Chinese New Year gift packages and Chinese New Year red envelopes for the students who did not attend the group annual banquet at the scene, which were collected by the heads of various training units and sent to the students’ dormitory. The delicious food and the warm words of the teachers moved the students deeply.
"Although I haven’t seen my family, it is also a special experience and growth opportunity for me to stay in school for the New Year." Yun Tianrun, a 2020 undergraduate from the School of Psychology in Hong Kong, said.
Li Bairong, a 2019 undergraduate from the School of Computer Science, is from Taiwan Province. He said that he was used to living in Wuhan and wanted to feel the Spring Festival in Hubei this year.
After receiving the gift package, Xing Xu, a 2018 doctoral student of China Rural Research Institute, said: "The concern and condolences of the school made me deeply feel the’ temperature of Chinese teachers’. Wuhan is very cold after the snow, but my heart is warm. Guizishan is my home in Wuhan. "
The reporter learned that in order to ensure that the students staying in school have a warm and happy New Year, in addition to ensuring normal meals during the winter vacation, Huazhong Normal University also provides free meals for the students staying in school from New Year’s Eve to the second day of the first month.

The State Administration of Financial Supervision is about to go online.
On May 17, The Paper was informed that the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau will officially unveil it in the morning of May 18. Someone close to China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission told The Paper that the unveiling time can refer to the unveiling in China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission in 2018, and it should not be too late.
Previously, the "top leader" of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau has been formally settled. On the afternoon of May 10th, the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau held a meeting of leading cadres. The responsible comrades of the Organization Department of the Central Committee announced the central decision: Comrade Li Yunze was appointed Party Secretary of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau.
In March this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Party and State Institutional Reform Plan", proposing the establishment of the State Financial Supervision and Management Bureau, which is responsible for the supervision of the financial industry except the securities industry, strengthening institutional supervision, behavioral supervision, functional supervision, penetrating supervision and continuous supervision, coordinating the protection of financial consumers’ rights and interests, strengthening risk management and preventive disposal, and investigating and handling illegal acts according to law, as an institution directly under the State Council.
The State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau was established on the basis of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, and the daily supervision duties of the People’s Bank of China on financial holding companies and other financial groups, the protection duties of financial consumers, and the investor protection duties of the CSRC were assigned to the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau. At the same time, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission is no longer retained.
It has been five years since China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission was founded. In March 2018, the State Council’s institutional reform report proposed that the Bank of China Insurance Regulatory Commission would be established, and the responsibilities of China Banking Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission would be integrated as institutions directly under the State Council. At the same time, the responsibilities of China Banking Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission to formulate important draft laws and regulations on banking and insurance industry and the basic system of prudential supervision were assigned to the People’s Bank of China.
At 8: 30am on April 8th of that year, relevant leaders held a flag-raising ceremony at the south gate of the former CBRC, and then unveiled the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission. This also means that China Banking Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission, which have a history of 15 and 20 years respectively, ended their historical missions after the establishment of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.
Five years later, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission once again handed over to the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau.
This year, "night school", a word with a sense of the times, suddenly became a "good heart" for young people and quickly spread all over the country. In Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi ‘an, Wuxi and other places, the popularity of various interest courses is comparable to that of online shopping. More and more young people go into the classroom to brush their lessons after punching out, ranging from dance vocal music and calligraphy and painting to non-legacy work, health and fitness … They are opening the "nightlife" mode in a different way.
Why do young people rush to attend "night school"? At the moment when material life is becoming more and more abundant, people are pursuing the richness and diversity of spiritual life, and the "Youth Night School" with the price close to the people and fashionable and novel courses just conforms to the pursuit of colorful spiritual life by contemporary youth, and it is natural that its popularity will continue unabated.
Some people compare the Youth Night School to the adult version of the "Children’s Palace" and the youth version of the "University for the Aged". For young people, it is an "energy supplement station". Some people sign up for study to fulfill their childhood dreams, while others are to improve their skills … "Night school" gives them the opportunity to choose to study and charge according to their interests and needs, and "store energy" for their future. In the process of learning without the pressure of examination, young people unload the pressure and fatigue brought by work and life, immerse themselves in learning a certain knowledge or skill, and enjoy the pleasure of "wasting time on beautiful things".
Youth night school is also a "big social classroom". Many young people once lamented their "formatted" life: after finishing work at 5 o’clock, they would pass the time by watching dramas, often lying down and brushing their mobile phones until late at night, which not only made them feel empty mentally, but also affected their health. "Don’t’ house’, come out!" Night school gives young people the opportunity to break out of their homes, reconstruct their cultural life and go to the social classroom. "Youth Night School" also provides a brand-new social scene for young people, making friends with similar interests, broadening their circle of friends, and some even finding life partners.
Youth night school is a "dream-chasing place". Going to night school is an independent choice of contemporary young people who actively seek knowledge and are eager to improve. Behind it is the popularization of the concept of lifelong learning, which shows their spirit of being unwilling to be mediocre, uneasy with the status quo and positive. "Youth Night School" gives young people the opportunity to pursue their dreams, so that they can tap their potential with love for life, improve themselves in advance, and reshape themselves in their studies.
Young people have no trivial matters, and everything is always related to their feelings. Youth night school has become a new fashion, but if it is not only a temporary craze at this time, we need to seriously think about: how should youth night school serve young people more and better? In this regard, on the one hand, the quality of the course is the key. Only by providing high-quality course content and teachers, can we better meet the learning needs of young people and make evening schools have lasting appeal. On the other hand, it is necessary to "revitalize" more public cultural resources, build a broader learning platform for night schools, and build a learning city where everyone can learn, learn everywhere, and learn from time to time, so that young people can really fall in love with learning and the city where they live. In addition, young people in rural areas and remote areas can also be included in the "night school" education platform through online lectures, so that happy study nightlife can cover more people in need.
Youth night school lights up the nightlife of young people, allowing more young people to take the initiative to improve themselves and embrace the new era. In this two-way trip, a little bit of starlight condenses the confidence and strength to move forward towards a better life. (Have fun)
CCTV News:His life was full of ups and downs, and he began his literary creation when he was nearly puzzled, but he became one of the "three great short story masters in the world". He has left nearly 300 novels in his creative career for more than ten years, including Sacrifice of Love, Gift of Maggie, and The Last Leaf … … Articles are literary classics; He wrote "a tearful smile" with his own experience, enlightening the world that "as long as you believe, there will always be miracles".
He is O. Henry.
1862-O Henry, a famous American short story writer, was born. Tonight, review his classic works and feel the love and hope in life.
Maggie’s gift
(with deletion)
Life is made up of sobs, sobs and smiles, and sobs occupy most of them.
One yuan and eighty-seven cents. It’s all here, including 60 cents in coppers. This is saved by bargaining from grocery store owners, vegetable vendors and butcher’s shops, and I feel ashamed every time. I deeply feel that this kind of deal is really embarrassing. Della counted it three times, and it was still 1.87 yuan, and the next day was Christmas.
Obviously, there is no other way but to throw yourself on that shabby nap chair and cry.
Della did this, but her spiritual feelings came to life. Life is made up of sobs, sobs and smiles, and sobs occupy most of them.
After Della finished crying, she smeared powder on her cheeks. She stood at the window and stared at a gray cat walking on a gray fence in the gray backyard. Only one yuan and eighty-seven cents to buy Jim a present, her Jim! How many days did she spend planning to give him a lovely gift, an exquisite, rare and expensive gift — — At least something worthy of Jim.
The couple each have something they are particularly proud of. One is Jim’s gold watch; The other is Della’s hair.
There is a wall mirror between the two windows in the room. Suddenly, she whirled around from the window and stood in front of the wall mirror. Her eyes were crystal clear, but her face lost its luster within twenty seconds. She tore her hair apart quickly and let it splash completely.
The couple each have something they are particularly proud of. One is Jim’s gold watch, which was handed down from his grandfather to his father and from his father to his family heirloom. The other is Della’s hair.
At this moment, Della’s hair splashed around her, and the microwave fluctuated and shone like a brown waterfall. Her hair is knee-length, like a robe for her. Then, she quickly combed her hair nervously, hesitated for a minute, and stood there motionless, splashing a tear or two on the worn red carpet.
She bought it for twenty-one dollars. With the gold watch and this chain, Jim can look at the time without shame on any occasion.
She put on the old brown coat and hat, and there were glittering and translucent tears in her eyes. As soon as her skirt swung, she floated out of the door and went downstairs to the street.
She stopped at a sign that said, "Mrs. Sofroni — — Specializing in all kinds of hair. " Della ran up the stairs, panting and composed. That lady is fat, too pale and as cold as ice, which simply doesn’t match the nickname of "Sofroni".
"Do you want to buy my hair?" Della asked.
"I buy hair," said the lady. "Take off your hat and let me see the hair sample."
The brown waterfall splashed down.
"Twenty dollars," said the lady, grasping her hair expertly.
"Give me the money quickly," said Della.
Oh, the next two hours seemed to fly by happily with wings. She searched everywhere for a present for Jim.
She finally found it. It must be specially made for Jim. It’s a simple platinum watch chain, engraved with patterns, which is just right for Jim’s gold watch. She bought it for twenty-one dollars and hurried home, leaving only eighty-seven cents. The gold watch matches this chain, so Jim can look at the time without shame on any occasion.
After Della came home, her ecstasy became a little cautious and rational. She found out the curling iron, lit the gas, and began to repair the damage caused by the generosity of love. Within forty minutes, her head was covered with small curls that clung to her scalp, and she looked like a little boy playing truant.
"If Jim looks at me and doesn’t kill me," she said to herself, "he will say that I look like a singing girl in Coney Island, but what can I do — — Alas, there is only one yuan and eighty-seven cents. What can I do? "
She held her hair comb to her chest, and after a long time, she raised her tearful eyes and smiled and said, "My hair grows very fast, Jim!" "
At seven o’clock, she made coffee, put the frying pan on the hot stove, and could make steak at any time.
Jim always comes home on time. The door opened, Jim stepped in and closed the door behind him. His eyes were fixed on Della, and her expression made her unable to understand and made her hair stand on end. It was neither anger nor surprise, nor dissatisfaction, nor disgust, and it was not any expression she had expected at all. He stared at della with this expression.
Della twisted her waist, jumped off the table and walked over to him.
"Jim, honey," she cried, "don’t stare at me like that. I cut off my hair and sold it, because I can’t spend Christmas without giving you a present. Hair will grow back — — You won’t mind, will you? I have to do this. My hair is growing very fast. Say ‘ Merry Christmas ’ Ok! Jim, let’s be happy. You’ll never guess what a nice, beautiful and exquisite gift I bought you! "
"Have you cut off your hair?" Jim asked laboriously, as if he had racked his brains and failed to understand the obvious fact.
"Cut it off and sell it," said Della. "Anyway, don’t you also like me? Without long hair, I am still me, right? "
Jim looked around the room strangely.
"Did you say your hair was gone?" He asked almost like an idiot.
"Stop looking," said Della. "To tell you, I have sold it — — It’s sold. It’s gone. Treat me well, it’s for you. Maybe I can count my hair, "she suddenly said softly," but no one can count my love for you. Shall I cook steak, Jim? "
Jim seemed to wake up from a trance and held Della tightly in his arms. Jim took a small bag from his coat pocket and threw it on the table.
"Don’t get me wrong, Del," he said. "When you open that bag, you will know why I looked like that just now."
White fingers deftly untied the rope and opened the paper bag. Followed by ecstatic screams, suddenly turned into women’s neurotic tears and crying, in urgent need of the male host to do everything possible to comfort.
Because it’s a comb on the table — — Full set of combs. It was something that Della had seen and envied to death in a Broadway window a long time ago. These wonderful hair combs are made of pure tortoiseshell, and the edges are inlaid with jewels — — Its color just matches her lost hairdressing. She knows that this set of combs is really too expensive. For this, she was only envious and eager before, and never thought about getting them. Now, all this actually belongs to her, but unfortunately the beautiful long hair that is qualified to wear this coveted ornament has disappeared without a trace.
However, she still held her hair comb to her chest, and it took a long time before she raised her tearful eyes and smiled and said, "My hair grows very fast, Jim!" "
I sold my gold watch and bought a hair comb for you.
Then Della jumped up like a scalded kitten and cried, "Oh! Oh! " Jim hasn’t seen his beautiful gift yet.
Della spread out her palm and reached out to him. "Isn’t it beautiful, Jim? I searched all over the city before I found it. Now, you can watch the time a hundred times a day. Give me the watch, I want to see how it matches it. "
Instead of following her instructions, Jim collapsed on the couch with his hands under his head and smiled slightly.
"Del," he said, "let’s put Christmas presents aside. They are too good to be used at present. I sold my gold watch and bought a hair comb for you. Now, you make the steak. "

▽ Sketch | O Henry
O Henry, born on September 11th, 1862, was originally named william sydney porter. He created the precedent of modern American short stories, and was called "the three great short story masters in the world" together with French Mo Bosang and Russian Chekhov.
After a lifetime of ups and downs, I began to create in prison when I was near confusion.
In 1898, O Henry, who worked as a cashier in a bank, was jailed for "embezzlement" because of problems in the bank accounts he handled. In order to make a living, he began to write short stories in prison, nearly 30 years old. Because of the prisoner’s identity, he dared not use his real name, so he took the abbreviation "O Henry" of a French pharmacopoeia editor as his pen name.
In 1901, after serving more than three years in prison, O Henry was released early, and then he devoted himself to writing. But just when his creativity was at its peak, his health began to deteriorate and he died in 1910.
"Smile with tears" and "O ‘Henry-style ending" are well-known in the literary world.
"Smile with tears" — — The organic combination of comedy form and tragedy connotation is the creative style of O ‘Henry’s novels. In his works, the kind and kind poor people have no food to eat and no shelter. He profoundly revealed the soul and fate of the little people in American society at the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century, which constituted the unique humanistic care in his novels.
O Henry is also famous for being good at endings. At the end of his works, the fate of the hero is often suddenly reversed, or the psychological situation of the characters is unexpectedly changed. This is an unexpected and reasonable ending, which is specially called "O Henry’s ending" by American literary circles.
More than ten years of writing time has left nearly 300 short stories.
Although he has only spent more than ten years in his life writing novels, O Henry is a prolific writer. He left behind a novel "Cabbage and the Emperor" and nearly 300 short stories, including the famous novels "Sacrifice of Love", "Police and Hymns", "The Gift of Maggie", "A Room with Furniture for Rent", "The Last Leaf" and "Twenty Years Later".
In 1918, the United States set up the "O Henry Memorial Award" to reward the best short stories every year.
Draw a leaf for life,
As long as you believe, there will always be miracles.
Although the hope is slim, it will last forever.
— — O Henry’s The Last Leaf
