Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around． They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain． These differences are associated（关联） with beneficial effects on cognitive function （认知功能）． This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health．
The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain．Lifelong exposure（接触） to green space in the living places was recorded﹣using the information on the children's addresses from birth up through to the time of the study． Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）． Working memory and inattentiveness（注意力不集中）were graded with computers．
"This is the first study that shows the association between long﹣term exposure to green space and brain structure．" Says Dr． Payam Dadvand， the leading researcher of the study． "Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain．"
The findings show that long﹣term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain． Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests． Moreover， larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness．
Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children． Another study of 2，593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness．
Humans are believed to be tied to nature． Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn． Accordingly， green space is thought to promptimportant exercises in discovery， creativity and risk taking． These exercises in turn positively influence brain development．
Dr． Dadvand's study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development． It also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities．
Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations， settings and climates． And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space．

Can a green machine help the world's poorest kids learn better？Nicholas Negroponte thinks so.He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of computer.As a result，many children who live in poverty （贫穷） will have their own laptop computers!
Negroponte works at a university.He started a group called One Laptop Per Child （OLPC）.The people at OLPC don't work for money.They work to help children learn.OLPC makes computers that don't cost a lot.Then they sell the machines to governments of countries that have many people live in poverty.The governments then give the computes to kids for free.
The XO Laptop computers are made for school﹣aged children in developing nations.Many of these children live in faraway areas and go to schools with classrooms.In order to work，the laptops have to be lasting and student﹣friendly.
The machines have many fun characters like a built﹣in video camera，voice recording，and games.The WiFi lets students share information on the Web and read e﹣books.They also can make music and chat with friends.
Another great character is that it can last for a long time.It can be hand charged and also can be recharged by connecting to a solar panel.Because of these characters the XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment.
The computers have a colorful name﹣"the green machine".Negroponte thinks they could make a difference in the lives of millions of kids.He says， "Every problem you can think of﹣poverty，peace，the environment﹣is solved with education."
OLPC plans to give out over ten million computers in the next few years.Kids in Thailand，Nigeria，Brazil，and Argentina will get most of them.China and Egypt also want to take part in the program.After that，Negroponte hopes to sell computers to other countries with high poverty.

The world uses about a thousand million （百万） tons of water a day． Water is a human right and everyone should have their share． Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean， safe water．
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us． And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans． 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all， and it is running into oceans．
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater．
While 75% of our planet is covered with water， only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers， lakes， ice and snow． The rest， 98% of the water， is in seas and oceans． It is too salty to drink． Then desalinationbusinesses come in． More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world， mostly in coastal countries． They process（加工） more than 92 million tons of water every day． But the technology they use requires a lot of energy．
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology． They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough． But for now， the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone．

Birth order﹣﹣﹣does it matter？ Are you different because you are the first， second， or third child in your family﹣﹣﹣or maybe the last of nine？
A study found that first﹣borns have an average（平均的）IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order， perhaps because first﹣borns often help younger brothers and sisters， which improves their own skills． In 2007， an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first﹣borns ，33% are middle children， and 23% are last﹣borns． First﹣borns are more likely （可能的）to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay．
If first﹣borns are more successful， last﹣borns are generally more agreeable． They are also more likely to be funny， possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table． Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families， and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four． According to a 2007 Time magazine article， "The power of Birth Order，" last﹣borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen．
Then there are the middle children； we have not ignored（忽视） them! Many middle children are short of one﹣on﹣one time with their parents． They often feel short﹣changed： the oldest gets more rights， and the youngest is "spoiled（宠坏的） "．Though they may be ignored， middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults．
Many factors（因素）make us who we are， but if the research is correct， birth order may be one of the most important factors．

Heads Up!
In November，the US Soccer Federation，the biggest soccer organization in the US introduces new rules to make the sport safer for young players．This organization
announced that players on its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball．Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading．The new rules are designed to prevent kids from getting concussions﹣injuries caused by a blow to the head that shakes the brain inside the skull（头骨）．Common symptoms（症状） include headaches and dizziness．
A DANGEROUS MOVE
Heading the ball can be one of the riskiest parts of soccer．Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions．But more often，players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and accidentally knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass．
"More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer，"explains Dr．Robert Cantu，an expert on brain injuries．

After coming to America， the use of "yes" and "no" brings me a lot of trouble， because the use in Korean （韩语） is a different from that in English． For example， if I am asked， "Haven't you had dinner yet？" and I have not had dinner yet， then in Korean I usually say "Yes， I haven't．" But in English， I have to say， "No， I haven't．"
Because of this， my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them． One day only a month after I came to America， I had dinner with an American student， Bob． He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely． A few days later， I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea． One day ，I stopped by Bob's room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information． "Oh， you told me that． Don't you remember？" he said， "When I asked you ，'You are not from North Korea，are you？'you clearly answered， 'Yes， of course．' Didn't it mean that you are from North Korea？"
The different use also causes problems between my friends and me． One weekend night， my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm（宿舍）． They make some noise while playing． I did not mind the noise since I was just watching TV． The next morning， I met Mark． He asked me with a smile， "Didn't my children make noise last night？ Didn't it make you uncomfortable？" Because I did not mind the noise at all， I clearly said "Yes!" The smile suddenly disappear from Mark's face， and he said， "I am sorry about that． They are going right now． See you later．" I could not understand what he was sorry about， and I just said， "OK． Bye!" After a moment of thinking， I realized how stupid I was． That evening， I explained to Mark and said sorry to him． I knew he thought that I had been very rude．
Now to deal with this problem， I have set simple rules： First， take a five﹣second break if I am not sure of "yes" or "no"， Second， use "pardon me"， so the person may explain to me in a direct way．
（1）From the passage， we can infer （推断） that the writer comes from ．
A． North Korea
B． America
C． South Korea
D． China
（2）In Paragraph 3， when the writer answered "Yes"，Mark might think the writer was ．
A． rude

It seems that food deliverymen （送货员） are always rushing in haste.We can always see them running every minute，and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute.They wear blue，red or yellow helmets （头盔） and many of them don't follow traffic rules.They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights.They use mobile phones when they are driving.
However，not everything goes well with food deliverymen.In the first half of 2017，food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai.That means every two and a half days，a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen take such risks？The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine （罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan if he can't deliver the food on time，reported China Daily.Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.
To solve the problem，food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen，if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice，then he can't do the job for a whole year.

Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean． Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy． They liked doing different things． Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball， football， and any other sport imaginable． Jack preferred to draw， paint， or build sandcastles（沙堡）．
Frank didn't understand why Jack would rather do artistic things than play ball． He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together． That was when Jack's idea hatched． He would show Frank what doing things together looked like!
After Jack finished creating a special sandcastle with stairs，towers and walls，he took pictures of it．Then he painted colorful posters featuring（突出）his sandcastle and the question， "Can you top this？" He hung his posters everywhere in town， announcing his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry﹣all ages welcome．
When Frank saw poster， he not so nicely told Jack that no one would come． Still， shortly after sunrise on Saturday， Jack was on the beach digging in the sand． By mid﹣morning， four kids were sculpting（雕塑）the sand alongside him． By noon the number had increased a lot．
After Frank came back from his ball game， he went to check how his brother's plan turned out． He couldn't believe what he saw． At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles， and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach．
"I guess you've proved me wrong，" Frank said． "You should make this sandcastle day a yearly tradition!" Handing Frank a shovel（铲子）with smile， Jack got started together with his brother on their super creation in the sand．

China has ended its long﹣lasted one﹣child policy，all Chinese couples now are allowed to have two children，which means that many Chinese children，including you，may have siblings （兄弟姐妹） in the future．
Like many only children in China，Pan is happy and confident，except when she feels lonely every now and then．"It's not fun，especially when I travel with my parents．How I wish I could have a brother or a sister，"she said．Now it could be time for Pan to realize her dream．But what would it be like growing up with a sibling？
Having a sibling can prevent children from bad feelings such as loneliness and fear，according to Laura Walker from Brigham Young University，US．"Siblings give kids something that parents can't，"she said．
You may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with．You can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other．
But children with siblings also have to control their feelings and learn to compromise，said Laura．You need to share things with your siblings，including attention from parents，toys，the bathroom and even the TV．There is also unpleasant competition which you have to deal with．
It's also said that the birth order decides how parents treat their children．Parents are usually very nervous and strict with their first child．So firstborns （including only children） have more sense of responsibility because parents set high goals for them．When the couple has a second child，they are more relaxed，less strict and have fewer rules．So late﹣born kids are usually funny and creative．

Just like a car engine needs petrol（汽油），your body needs fuel（燃料；养料）．It needs food!
The things you eat and drink are turned into energy．
You need energy for everything﹣playing，walking，running，thinking﹣even sleeping．
Feeling hungry may mean you are running low on energy．If it is not mealtime，you may need a snack to re﹣fuel．
But what sort of snack should you eat？This is like choosing the right fuel for a car．Some cars，such as racing cars，need the best fuel to go fast and keep their engines running smoothly．
So，if you want to be at your most lively，choose the best fuel．This means eating healthy snacks．There is no better way to keep your engine running smoothly!
