Mallry Haske surfs nearly every day in the summer, and it really annys her t see trash in the water r n the beach. S when her high schl English teacher assigned a passin prject, Haske came up with a creative idea that cnnected surfing and trash.
She cllected litter n the beach and used it t create a surf bard in an effrt t raise awareness abut cean pllutin. “The feeling f catching a wave is fantastic. It’s such a mental release,” said Haske, standing n the beach waxing(上蜡) her newly finished trash bard. “I really hpe it flats.”
Her teacher assigned the prject mnths ag and was surprised t see hw Haske’s enthusiasm abut it grew thrughut the schl year. “Nt every student fund her passin, but she did,” said the teacher. “I’m super prud f her.”
Over the winter, Haske, wh wuld graduate sn, cllected litter including cigarette butts, bttle caps, fast-fd cntainers and masks alng the resrt area beach. “It was definitely a unique challenge,”Haske said.
She landed a spnsr and raised mney frm friends t create the surf bard, which cst abut $1,000. Haske tk custm rders and helped peple build their wn surf bards. Making ne ut f trash was a first fr her. Nearly the entire bard was made frm recycled material and litter.
On Tuesday after schl, Haske went ut and attempted t ride a wave n her new bard, but the mstly flat cnditins made it difficult. The nse f the surfbard made by herself kept ging under the water, but Haske stayed upbeat. “It’s pretty heavy up frnt, but it’s ging t be my best friend,” Haske said after cming ut f the water. “It’s made fr large waves.”

It has lng been believed that the smart phnes in ur pckets are actually making us dumb (迟钝的). Nw there is evidence fr it.
Researchers at the University f Texas at Austin discvered that peple are wrse at cmpleting tasks and remembering infrmatin if a smart phne is within sight. In tw experiments they fund phnes sitting n a desk r even in a pcket r a handbag wuld distract (使分心) users and lead t wrse test scres even when they were set up nt t disturb test subjects.
The researchers tested 520 university students n their memry and intelligence when they were in the presence f a smart phne t see hw it affected them. They were tld t cmplete tests in mathematics, memry and reasning with their smart phnes either n their desks, in their bags r pckets, r in anther rm. Thse wh had their phnes n the desk recrded a 10 percent lwer scre than thse wh left them in a different rm. Thse wh kept their phnes further ut f sight in their pckets r their bags scred nly slightly better than thse whse phnes were placed n desks.
The researchers fund that the negative effect f having a phne within sight was greater amng thse wh said they were dependent n their smart phnes. It was als fund that phnes culd distract users even when they were turned ff r when they were placed face dwn.
The researchers said the effect arises because part f the smart phne users’ mind is trying nt t think abut distractins such as whether they have any messages when the smart phne is in their line f sight.
Similar research has previusly shwn that smart phnes can lead a “butterfly brain effect” n users that can cause mental blunders (错误).
8．The researchers at the University f Texas carries ut the study t test .
A．where smart phnes shuld be placed
B．wh were dependent n smart phnes
C．university students’ daily use f smart phnes
D．smart phnes’ effect n students’ intelligence and memry
9．What can we learn frm the experiments?
A．Smart phnes dn’t affect students if put ut f sight.
B．Smart phnes dn’t distract students when turned ff.
C．Students gt lwer scres in the presence f smart phnes.
D．Students were distracted n matter where their phnes were placed.
10．What will prbably be talked abut in the fllwing paragraph?
A．The cause f the prblem.B．The butterfly brain effect.
C．The mental blunders.D．The future research.
11．Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the text?
A．The harm f smart phnesB．Smart phnes make us dumb
C．Limit ur use f smart phnesD．The prblem f smart phne addictin
D
Fr adults wh have struggled with understanding new math hmewrk r surprised at hw quickly kids can learn a secnd language, there is new evidence that shws kids can really learn things much faster than adults.
A study published in Current Bilgy finds that children and adults have different cncentratins f a key brain messenger called gamma-aminbutyric acid, r GABA．This messenger slws dwn the brain by blcking specific signals in the bdy’s central nervus system. It als prduces a calming effect and is thught t play a majr rle in cntrlling the veractivity f nerve cells assciated with anxiety, stress and fear. All these cntribute t the learning f new things.
In the study, the researchers frm Brwn University used neur-imaging techniques t examine visual perceptive (视觉感知的) learning in elementary schl-aged children and adults. Participants were shwn a number f different images and were later asked questins abut them fllwing the test.
Visual learning caused an increase f GABA in children’s visual crtex, the area f the brain that prcesses visual infrmatin. Hwever, GABA levels didn’t change in the adults wh tk the same visual tests. In additin, children participants kept that GABA increase fr hurs after training ended, while the cncentratins f GABA remained the same in the adults studied.
“In subsequent behaviral experiments, we fund that children indeed learn mre items within a given perid f time than adults.” said Sebastian M. Frank, the c-authr f the study. “Our results therefre pint t GABA as a key player in making learning mre efficient in children.”
These results, the authrs argue, shuld encurage teachers and parents t keep giving children pprtunities t learn anything frm riding a bike t playing an instrument thrughut their childhd.
The findings may als change neur-scientists’ cnceptin f brain maturity in children. “Althugh children’s brains are nt yet fully mature and many f their behaviral and cgnitive functins are nt as efficient as in adults, children are nt, in general, surpassed in their learning abilities by adults,” said study c-authr Take Watanabe.
12．What’s the functin f GABA?
A．Send specific messages t the brain.B．Deal with cmplex math prblems.
C．Make the nervus system mre active.D．Increase efficiency in learning new things.
13．What d we knw abut the children taking the visual test?
A．Their GABA cncentratins kept increasing after training.
B．Their learning abilities still needed t be imprved.
C．They culd remember mre images than adults.
D．They were surpassed by adults in learning abilities.
14．Hw did the researchers d the research?
A．By cmparing participants’ reactin.B．By analyzing statistics.
C．By cllecting relative evidence.D．By cnducting nline survey
15．What des Take Watanabe want t say in the last paragraph?
A．Neur-scientists dn’t fully understand brain maturity in children.
B．Children are nt mature in their behavir and cgnitin.
C．It takes a lng time fr children’s brains t be fully mature.
D．Children’s brain maturity des nt affect their learning abilities.
