sleep in: one that reclines (后倾) to exactly the right degree, raises your feet and legs just where you want them,
supports your head and shoulders properly, and operates at the touch of a button.
Our Perfect Sleep Chair does all that and more. It’s designed to provide total comfort. Choose your preferred
heat and massage (按摩) settings for hours of relaxation, reading or watching TV. The technology our chair takes
advantage of allows you to adjust the chair to a wide range of settings. It can help promote back pressure relief and
prevent back and muscle pain. The overstuffed, oversized biscuit-style back and unique seat design will provide
exceptional comfort. Generously filled, wide armrests provide enhanced arm support when sitting or reclining. It
even has a battery backup in case of a power failure.
Delivery is included in the shipping charge. Professionals will deliver the chair to the exact spot in your
home where you want it, unpack it, inspect it, test it, and position it, and they even can carry the packaging away if
asked to do that! You get your choice of different colors and fabrics. Call now!
·Telephone: 888-717-9419
·Please mention code 116687 when ordering.
·The chair can be shifted easily from being flat to a stand-assist position by remote control.

The 9th Asian Winter Games will kick off on February 7, 2025 in Harbin, Heilongjiang province. There will
be 34 countries and regions — the most in the event’s history — taking part in the Games. Here are some fun facts
about the Games.
Torch (火炬)
The torch stands 735mm tall and is inspired by a beautiful lilac (丁香花), Harbin’s city flower. The theme of
its design, “Surging”, aims to express the strong energy of life in nature. It shows that the 9th Asian Winter Games
will be filled with enthusiasm and passion. The design of the torch takes the form of a flowering lilac, integrating
colors such as China Red, Lilac Purple and Snow White, symbolizing the sincerity, warmth, openness, and
inclusiveness of Heilongjiang province and the characteristics of the host city, Harbin.
Emblem (徽章)
The emblem, named “Breakthrough”, combines symbols of short track speed skaters, flowing ribbons (丝带)
and lilacs. Its colors, in shades of blue and purple, reflect the beauty of sunlight on ice and snow. The figure’s shape
looks like the Chinese character “九”, representing the 9th Games, and “合”, representing unity and friendship.
Through this emblem, Harbin extends a warm welcome and expresses hopes for shared growth among Asian
countries.
Mascots (吉祥物)
The mascots for the Games, Binbin and Nini, are two lovable Siberian tigers. Binbin represents ice sports
and wears ice skates, while Nini, representing snow sports, rides a snowboard. Their names — “Binbin” from
“Harbin” and “Nini” from the Chinese word for “you” — come together to form a message: “Harbin welcomes
you! ” These tiger mascots were inspired by two real tigers born in Harbin and represent values of strength, courage
and positivity.
Events
The upcoming Games will feature 64 events in total, with 31% making their first appearance, including new
events in speed skating, short track speed skating and ski mountaineering. Notably, ski mountaineering will also be

Combining bikes and trains is a great way to explore nature, which mixes the ease of train travel with the
freedom of cycling, giving you a special experience.
Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail
It’s an 87-mile pathway from Cleveland to Bolivar in Northeast Ohio. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad
(CVSR) stretches out separately along the trail from Akron to Thornburg Station, a 31-mile stretch which goes
through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The trail hugs the outline of the original Ohio and Erie Canal, passing
many landmarks like bridges, museums and villages.
Danube Cycle PathIt’s a path which follows the Danube River for about 745 miles, from Donaueschingen, Germany to
Budapest, Hungary. The path is the most popular in Austria featuring 245 scenic miles serviced by local and long-
distance trains. Most cyclists choose to ride from west to east with the flow of the river to take advantage of the
natural slope (斜坡) of bicycle traffic.
Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail
It extends for 25 miles through woodlands next to the Lehigh River. A historic tourist railway called the
Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway follows the trail, allowing cyclists to enjoy a one-way ride instead of backtracking.
The rail trail is mostly flat and passes through the Lehigh Gorge State Park. While the train operates most days, the
bike service is only offered one weekend a month from May to November.
Cinder Track
It’s a 21-mile broken-stone pathway along the coast of Yorkshire, England. The towns of Scarborough and
Whitby, where the trail begins and ends, both have train stations near the trail. The train journey is not a direct
pathway between them. Actually, the tracks of the original direct pathway were removed to create the trail.
Meanwhile, the trail hugs the Yorkshire coast, with views of seaside cliffs and fishing villages.

2025届河南省信阳市高三第一次教学质量检测（一模）New Space Missions in 2024
ESA’s Hera mission
The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch its Hera spacecraft in October on a mission to return to an
asteroid (小行星) system visited by NASA’s DART spacecraft in 2022. Hera is designed to collect data on the
targeted system, called Didymos. The spacecraft is expected to closely examine the physical properties of Didymos
and measure detailed effects of DART’s crash.
Europa Clipper
NASA hopes to launch its Europa Clipper mission in October. This orbiter is designed to carry out close
examinations of Jupiter’s moon Europa. Specifically, the mission will look for signs that the icy moon might hold
the right conditions to support life. NASA says the orbiter will fly in orbit around Jupiter and perform repeated
close flybys (飞跃) of the icy moon.
Boeing’s Starliner test flight
NASA and Boeing have said they plan to launch the first crewed test flight of the company’s Starliner
spacecraft. NASA says it is targeting May 2024 to have Starliner ready for flight. The launch date is to be set later.
The spacecraft completed its first uncrewed flight test to the International Space Station (ISS) last May. But
Boeing has experienced several technical difficulties with Starliner during the mission and has worked with NASA
to fix the problems as it prepares for the planned crewed flight.
SpaceX Starship test
SpaceX, another NASA’s partner, has been successfully using its rockets and spacecraft to transport astronauts
and materials to the ISS since 2020. But the company will be seeking a successful test flight in 2024 for its super-
heavy Starship spacecraft.
SpaceX experienced two failed Starship tests in 2023 — one in April and the other in November — which
resulted in explosions. The April explosion caused major damage to the launch structure in the state of Texas.
SpaceX has said it has been examining the issues related to the explosions and plans to carry out another test of
Starship as soon as possible. But it will have to wait until the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) completes
its investigation of the launch site damage and approves a new test.
