4、ade, I couldnt understand my physics teachers instructions, causing me to accidentally set fire to the classroom. So, when my husband and I decided to homeschool our daughters, we made a deal: He would teach science, while I would handle everything else. However, my husband has been too busy to teac
5、h the girls. Recently, while out on my morning hike before starting lessons, I noticed that the sky was a beautiful blue one, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of flowers. Thats why I decided that the days lessons would be taught outside, although I remembered that my daughters hadnt had a
6、ny science classes from my husband for a while. We headed up into the forest, settling ourselves by a pond that rarely has any visitors. I handed Ula a drawing board and the colored pencils. “We wait,” I told her, “and see if something comes along. In the meantime, just draw whats around you.” We wo
7、rked for more than an hour, barely (几乎不) speaking. A bird flew across the water, and then settled in front of a fallen log (原木). I quickly told Ula, worried that shed not seen the creature. But she had, and she began drawing it. An hour later, she finished her picture, and I stared down at it. She d
8、rew the bird on her paper with amazing accuracy. But there was one other interesting fact about this drawing: She also drew me, sitting beside her. I realized, as I gazed at this childs drawing of us watching a bird, how Id lived for 40 years and never understood the foundation (基础) of science befor
9、e this moment. The foundation of science is a sense of wonder; it isnt about accurately reciting words from a textbook. It is first about stepping outside our busy lives and marveling at (惊叹) the world around us. And from that day, I insisted on taking over from my husbands duty as the science teach

Walking backwards might be a solution. Scientists said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Rese
14、archers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, they were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they sa
15、w in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts (概念) of time and space is important in terms of (就而言) how our minds form memories. Time is really expressed through
16、 space. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. And New Scientist reported walking backward is not just good for the brain. It is also good for the rest of the body. Compared to walking forward, walking
17、 backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories. Besides, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees. Walking backward also keeps ou

This might be why many old people like walking backward.11“This activity” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.Aimproving memoryBtaking an examCwalking backwardDrecalling information12Paragraph 2 is written to _.Aintroduce an effective way

23、rince Nagaya (长屋亲王). This hymn reminds us of the cultural exchanges between both countries in history.

The song refers to (指的是) soldiers sharing their armor, encouraging each other to win the war. The Chinese phra

Scientists have tried many ways to solve this problem and in China, a mass campaign has been started to help solve it. Sandstorms are strong, dry win
43、ds that carry sand. They are often so thick that you cannot see the sun, and the wind is sometimes strong enough to move sand dunes. The four main places in the world where there are sandstorms are Central Asia, North America, Central Africa and Australia. Ren Jianbo from Inner Mongolia described a
