3. Teenagers reprt higher levels f stress than adults, and refer t schl as the highest cntributing factr, accrding t the American Psychlgical Assciatin's annual reprt. In respnse, recently sme schls have turned t mindfulness-based prgrams as a way t relieve stress amng their students.
In a study led by the University f Washingtn, researchers explred art-based mindfulness activities that schls culd use t reduce headaches, a cmmn side effect f stress in adlescent girls. After three weeks f twice-weekly mindfulness and art therapy (疗法) sessins, the girls reprted experiencing significantly fewer headaches.
The team selected eight girls between the ages f 14 t 17 frm a high schl in Seattle. All f the participants reprted experiencing three r mre headaches nt related t an injury within a tw-week perid, and five f the eight mentined tensin r stress as the main reasn fr headaches. During the prgram, the students met twice a week fr a 50-minute sessin with the research team. Each sessin began with an activity in which students wuld map where they were feeling stressed n a drawing f a bdy. Then the teens wuld participate in mindfulness and art activities befre clsing the sessin with anther bdy map.
While the teens experienced fewer headaches after the study, their verall stress levels didn't change much. But they reprted feeling better, saying that they felt like they culd handle whatever happened fr the rest f the day.
"It's nt just abut this study," Björling said. "This prblem f teen mental health and headaches is s big that I'm wrried abut what happens if we dn't take it n. Teens will want nthing t d with art mindfulness. S we need t cme at this in lts f different ways. We're ging t need a grup f peple and a variety f ptins."

4."Alexa, what's 5 minus 3?" A 6-year-ld by recently asked that questin in a vide, which was ppular n Twitter. Alexa, Amazn's vice-started assistant, delivered a quick answer: 2.
It's cute, but it raises a questin that's been n the minds f many parents and educatrs lately: Hw d virtual assistants like Alexa affect children's learning experiences?
Clint Hill, an English teacher, says in his classrms he ften sees "children quietly talking int their phnes and asking Ggle r ther services t spell sme cmplicated wrds that they dn't knw." But Hill says he desn't mind. "I struggle with spelling, and spellcheck n my wrd prcessing has been a lifesaver fr me." he says. "I think being able t use thse technlgical aids is nt hurting anybdy," Hill adds.
But sme experts say it's nt just abut learning basic math r spelling. "One f the best gifts we can give ur children is ding that kind f prblem-slving tgether," says Diane Levin, a prfessr f applied human develpment. Levin says it's imprtant fr children t learn t struggle– even just a little – with challenges. "They will use thse skills that they're learning fr all kinds f things that cme alng," Levin says.
Hw much cncern shuld parents have ver Alexa and their children? Every new wave f technlgy, frm calculatrs t TV sets, causes a panic abut its effect n children, and nstalgia(怀旧) fr the past, says Dimitri Christakis, an expert in child health, behavir and develpment.
But he says that a child watching televisin is having a cmpletely passive experience. Because new technlgy is interactive, "it helps understand hw the wrld wrks," Christakis says. "But while watching televisin, yu play n rle in the cntent," Christakis says.
Still, he agrees that this debate is abut much mre than knwing what 5 minus 3 is. It's als abut develping the patience t slve prblems. "That ability t stay fcused," he says, "is ne f the mst imprtant develpmental skills that children acquire."
1. What can be inferred frm Hill's wrds?
A. Technlgical aids are helpful. B. His students dn't use their brains.
C. His students aren't fcused in class. D. Spelling is really difficult fr small children.
2. What can we learn abut technlgical aids in Levin's pinin?
A. They fail t slve prblems.
B. They give children challenges.
C. They present a threat t teachers at schl.
D. They are harmful t children's develpment.
3. Which f the fllwing wuld Christakis agree with?
A. New technlgy affects children mst. B. New technlgy tends t cause wrries.
C. Televisin has been a thing f the past. D. Tday's parents are t cncerned.
4. What des Christakis stress abut children in the last paragraph?
A. Their ability t interact with thers. B. Their ability t learn frm the past.
C. Their ability t study technlgy. D. Their ability t pay attentin.
5.Over the curse f the pandemic, the landscape f educatin has greatly changed, but that hasn't kept ne brilliant girl whse dreams have never been earthbund frm reaching fr the stars.
While mst pre-teens are facing the challenges f middle schl, at age 12, Alena Analeigh has already earned her high schl diplma and is set t attend Arizna State University via remte learning.
With a planned duble majr in astrnmical science and chemistry, Alena's gal is t becme a NASA engineer by the time she's 16, where she hpes t emply her extrardinary skills t build rvers (火星车) like the nes sent t Mars n missins.
"I'll be driving ne f thse future space mbiles by the time I graduate frm cllege," she tld ABC News. A distant gal, perhaps. But accrding t Alena's mther, Daphne, her daughter had already set her sights n a career with the space agency when she was a little girl. "She wuld always say, ‘Mm, I'm ging t wrk fr NASA,'" Daphne tld ABC News. "Then she wuld start saying, ‘I'm ging t be the yungest black girl t ever wrk fr NASA.'"
Alena's space jurney began with her early interest in Leg building tys, frm which she built cmplex mdels f everything frm the Taj Mahal and the Disney castle t the Apll II rver and a NASA rcket. While building Leg tys, she learned t bring her imaginatins t cmpletin. That is mainly what enables this talent t get clser and clser t her life gal, and her smart scientific mind has led Alena t be a sharp bserver in ther fields f life as well.
Alena sees different pprtunities in STEM (shrt fr science, technlgy, engineering and math) fr wmen and peple f clr. She hpes t serve as an example t ther girls—they shuldn't let the pinins f thers keep them frm ging after their wn dreams. "It desn't matter what yur age is r what yu're planning t d," she tld ABC News. "G fr it; dream and then achieve it."

6. Give yurself a test. Which way is the wind blwing? Hw many kinds f wildflwers can be seen frm yur frnt dr? If yur awareness is as sharp as it culd be, yu'll have n truble answering these questins.
Mst f us bserved much mre as children than we d as adults. A child's day is filled with fascinatin, newness and wnder. Curisity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctins that were sharp t us as children becme unclear; we are numb(麻木) t new stimulatin, new ideas. Relearning the art f seeing the wrld arund us is quite simple, althugh it takes practice and requires breaking sme bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is t stp predicting what we are ging t see and feel befre it ccurs. This blcks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rcky Muntains with sme students, I mentined that we were ging t crss a muntain stream. The students began cmplaining abut hw cld it wuld be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almst knee-deep when they realized it was a ht spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cld water at first.
Anther blck t awareness is the bsessin(痴迷) many f us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers wh sptted a bird, immediately lked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crwned kinglet" and checked it ff. They n lnger paid attentin t the bird and never learned what it was ding.
The pressures f "time" and "destinatin" are further blcks t awareness. I encuntered many hikers wh were headed t a distant camp-grund with just enugh time t get there befre dark. It seldm ccurred t them t wander a bit, t take a mment t see what's arund them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent n their destinatins.
Nature seems t unfld t peple wh watch and wait. Next time yu take a walk, n matter where it is, take in all the sights, sunds and sensatins. Wander in this frame f mind and yu will pen a new dimensin t yur life.
1.Accrding t Paragraph 2, cmpared with adults, children are mre ________.
A.anxius t d wnders
B.sensitive t thers' feelings
C.likely t develp unpleasant habits
D.eager t explre the wrld arund them

C.T fllw the teacher's advice.
D.T admit mistakes hnestly.
3.Why d the hikers take n ntice f the surrundings during the jurney?
A.The natural beauty isn't attractive t them.
B.They fcus n arriving at the camp in time.
C.The frest in the dark is dangerus fr them.
D.They are keen t see rare birds at the destinatin.

7. A gd educatin is an excellent way t land a successful career and develp yur persnality. But can educatin als have a psitive effect n ur brains as we get lder? A team f researchers under the University Research Pririty Prgram "Dynamics f Healthy Aging" led by Lutz Jancke, prfessr f neurpsychlgy at the University f Zurich, has nw explred this questin in a lng-term study.
The researchers fllwed mre than 200 senir citizens fr ver seven years. The study participants are nt affected by dementia(痴呆), have average t abve-average intelligence and lead highly active scial lives. Based n cmplex statistical analyses, the researchers were able t shw that academic educatin had a psitive effect n age-related brain degeneratin(衰退).
The findings revealed that ver the curse f seven years, senir citizens with an academic backgrund shwed a significantly lwer increase in typical signs f brain degeneratin. "In additin, academics als prcessed infrmatin faster and mre accurately—fr example, when matching letters and numbers f patterns. The decline in their mental prcessing perfrmance was lwer verall, "summarizes Lutz Jäncke.
The findings add t initial findings f ther research grups, wh have fund that educatin has a psitive effect n brain aging. Previus studies als suggest that mental prcessing speed depends n the integrity(完整性)f neural netwrks in the brain. I these netwrks are affected, mental prcessing speed decreases.
"Even thugh n ne can explain the causal link between educatin and reduced natural brain degeneratin s far, the fllwing at least seems likely: We suspect that a high level f educatin leads t an increase in neural and cgnitive netwrks ver the curse f peple's lives, and that they build up reserves, s t speak. In ld age, their brains are then better able t make up fr any injury that ccurs, "says Lutz Jäncke.
1.Frm the first paragraph, we knw a gd educatin ______.
A.cntributes t ne's career successB.changes ne's appearance
C.can ensure ne's physical healthD.helps ne get whatever he needs

C.Thrugh ding experiments.D.Thrugh data studies.
3.Which f the fllwing may researchers agree with?
A.Academics are nt gd at matching letters.
B.High academic level slws brain degeneratin.
C.Academics experience fast brain degeneratin.
D.Brain degeneratin has n cnnectin with educatin.
4.What is unclear abut the findings?
A.Hw a gd educatin affects ur brains.
B.What effects educatin has n ur brains.
C.Why educatin psitively affects ur brains.
D.Whether educatin has a psitive effect n ur brains.
8. A jint research team recently have develped a new electrnic skin that is similar t human skin in strength, durability and sensitivity. The skin r e-skin may play an imprtant rle in next-generatin persnalized medicine, sft rbtics and artificial intelligence (AI).
"The ideal e-skin will mimic (模仿) the many natural functins f human skin, such as sensing temperature and the tuch, accurately and in real time," says leading researcher Yichen Cai. Hwever, making suitably flexible electrnics that can perfrm such delicate tasks while als used repeatedly is challenging, and each material invlved must be carefully engineered.
Mst e-skins are made by putting an active sensr n the surface that is attached t human skin. Hwever, the cnnectin between them is ften t weak, which reduces the durability and sensitivity f the material; therwise, if it is t strng, it wn't be flexible enugh, making it mre likely t break the circuit.
"The landscape f skin electrnics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace," says Cai. ''The discvery f 2-D sensrs has accelerated effrts t turn these quite thin but strng materials int functinal, durable and artificial skins."
"The new man-made skin built by the researchers culd sense bjects frm 20 centimeters away. It culd further make a quick respnse when tuched in less than ne tenth f a secnd. "It is a striking achievement fr an e-skin t maintain tughness after repeated use," said Shen, anther researcher, "which mimics the sftness and rapid recvery f human skin."
This type f e-skin culd mnitr a range f bilgical infrmatin, such as changes in bld pressure, which can be detected frm mvements f arms and legs. This data can then he shared and stred in the clud via Wi-Fi.
"One remaining prblem f the widespread use f e-skins lies in mass prductin f high-reslutin -sensrs," adds grup leader Vincent Tung, "hwever, the latest technlgy ffers new prmise."
1. What's the feature f the new e-skin?
A. It's flexible and sensitive. B. It is almst the same as human skin.
C. It has fragile electrnics. D. It has prved imprtant in areas like AI.
2. What can the new e-skin d?
A. It can rapidly react t the tuch.
B. It can change humans, bld pressure.
C. It can heal the wunded skin quickly.
D. It can adjust humans, temperature.
3. What des the underlined wrd "striking" in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Slight. B. Nticeable. C. Well-knwn. D. Insignificant.
4. What is the best title fr the text?
A. A Breakthrugh in High TechnlgyB. Man-made Skin Imprved
C. The Types f E-skinD. The Widespread Use f E-skin
