Roland Reisley turned 101 years old in May and is in remarkable health. But that's not the thing he prides himself on. "I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me," Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect.

The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It's one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia.

Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they couldn't afford on his sound engineer's salary and what they could, they didn't like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who'd already established homes there that they decided to join.

The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reisley said he's tried his best to be a good steward (管家) not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright's remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years.

The Barcelona subway pulls into the station, the doors slide open and passengers pour out to go about their daily business. Little do they know that as they do so, a burst of energy is sent up to street level to help charge an electric car.

Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe's difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market.

Sixteen stations of Barcelona's subway system are part of its new MetroCharge project, whereby the energy from the underground trains' brakes (刹车) is used to power the trains and the stations themselves, while the remainder is sent snaking through cables (电缆) to the surface to power plug-in stations for privately owned vehicles.

Bernardo Espinoza, an engineer who takes the subway every day, owns an electric car. "I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in," Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. "And if it is from energy from the trains' brakes, then even better."

Regenerative brakes have been in trains for decades and are also used in some cars. They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate (加速) the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers.

Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses – in this case powering electric cars parked nearby. That, he said, boosts efficiency.

Ways to Teach Kids Work Ethic Early

Ever watched your child try to get out of doing housework by making excuses? If only the effort they put into avoiding responsibility could be redirected into, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic (道德) in kids doesn't require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways.

● Make housework part of the family routine.

Involve your child in the daily running of the house: $tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. \_36\_ When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life.$

37

You can't expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you're complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they're far more likely to do the same.

\- Build determination through goals.

38 Sometimes you have to help them find their "thing." Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit – resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback.

● Treat mistakes as opportunities.

Few things strike fear into a child's heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, don't jump in with a rescue mission. 39

Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. 40 No worry. Those habits you're building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction.
