17、 playing the game Fortnite, as he has been doing for the past eight hours. Not for the first time, you ask yourself: why are school summer holidays so long?This is a more serious question than it sounds. Many children will return from the long break having forgotten much of what they were taught the
18、 previous year. One study from the American South found that this summer learning loss could be as high as a quarter of the years education. Poor children tend to be the worst affected, since rich ones typically live in homes full of books and are packed off to summer camp.A study from Baltimore fou
19、nd that variations(差别) in summer loss might possibly account for two-thirds of the achievement gap between rich and poor children by the age of 14-15. Long holidays definitely tighten the budgets of poor families, since free school meals stop and extra child care kicks in.Youngsters will hate the id
20、ea of a longer school year. Many grown-ups will object to it, too. It would cost taxpayers more, since teachers would have to be paid for the extra days. Schools in hotter areas would spend a fortune on air-conditioning. Skeptics(怀疑者) also note that, although those rarely rested South Korean pupils
21、do well in exams, they are often unhappy. Is that really what you want for your darlings?More time in school doesnt necessarily mean repeating the same old lessons.

23、 the rest catch up. Other public services do not simply disappear for a quarter of the year. It would be unthinkable for hospitals or the police to do so. So why do schools get away with it?

Nothing is better than sitting in an armchair with a beer and some chips in your hand, enjoying the great comfort.The much-loved combination of beer and chips is being exploited for the first time to deal with climate change.

27、 Walkers has adopted a technique it says will cut CO2 emissions (排放) from its production process by 70%.The technology will use CO2 captured from beer processing in a brewery (啤酒厂), which is then mixed with potato waste and turned into fertilizer. It will then be spread on UK fields to feed the foll
28、owing years potato crop. Creating fertilizer normally produces high CO2 emissions, but the technology adopted by Walkers makes fertilizer without generating CO2. So, the beer-and-chips combination performs a double function. It stops the emission of brewery CO2 into the atmosphere and it saves on th
29、e CO2 normally generated by fertilizer production.This Creative win-win solution was developed with an approval from the UK government by a 14-employee start-up called CCm.

30、r factory to prepare for its 2022 crop.A decision has not yet been made on which brewery Walkers will work with on this. The new technology adds to carbon-saving techniques already under way. The firm has installed an anaerobic digester (厌氧消化池), which feeds potato waste to bacteria to produce a usef
31、ul gas. The gas is burned to make electricity for the chip-frying process so this saves on burning gas or coal.The new system will go a step further by taking away potato “cake” left after digestion and mixing the brewery CO2 into it to make an enriched fertilizer which will help put carbon back int
