Based out of two aging metal shipping containers, it may not look like your conve
8、ntional library. On winter days, rain leaks through holes in the roof and drips down onto the tables and bookshelves. But for the residents of Scottsville, a neighborhood torn apart by drug abuse and gang violence, it offers a safe space to escape the severe realities of daily life and to explore di
9、fferent worlds in the pages of thousands of donated second-hand books. What eventually inspired Crowster to launch his project, he says, was visiting schools and witnessing firsthand South Africas problem with literacy. While according to UNESCO, nearly 90% of South Africans can read and write, this
10、 statistic masks a worrying trendthe percentage of children who can “read for meaning”, instead of simply being able to recognize words, is extremely low. A recent study found that just 22% of Grade 4 students could effectively read for meaning. At the Hot-Spot Library, Crowster has carried out a sy
11、stem of book reviews to ensure that his young members are indeed reading for meaning. A borrower who returns a volume must fill out a review form, which the librarians store in folders. “I like that Peter saves the people,”wrote one reviewer after returning a copy of Peter Pan. “I dont like Captain
12、Hook because he is rude with people.”Such are the morals that Crowster hopes his young readers will internalize. With only a membership of 30 in its first year, today the library has over 700 members. “It takes me to a place in my mind where I can just relax and live in the book,”says Abigail Cloete

19、 in rural Bangladesh to respond to issues such as lack of access to vital services and climate change. Friendship Hospital was located in the southern region of Bangladesh. Its relationship with rainwater was a key element in the prize. Its major design feature is a canal that goes along the length
20、of the hospital, separating the outpatient building from the building for inpatient services. The canal collects rainwater from the site, which is then stored in a tank so that it can be used by the hospital.

They change size to control the amount of light that enters the eye
24、 based on how much is available in the environment. The response of our pupils to light is a basic sensory response, but pupils have been found to change size based on factors other than light. Researchers hypothesized (假想) that pupils may also change size based on the number of objects that a perso
25、n sees in their environment. “When we look around, we naturally perceive the form, size, movement and color of a scene. Equally naturally, we notice the number of items before us,” said study co-author David Burr, “This ability, shared with most other animals, is an evolutionary (进化的) fundamental. I
26、t immediately reveals important quantities, such as how many apples there are on the tree, or how many enemies are attacking.”To figure out if this ability lies within the pupils, the researchers presented 16 adult participants with images of dots on a monitor in an otherwise quiet, dark room. As th
27、e participants stared at the screen, without being asked to count the dots, a machine measured their pupil sizes. The researchers found that the size of the participants pupils changed depending on how many dots they perceived. The participants pupils expanded, when they perceived a greater number o
28、f dots and constricted when they perceived fewer. The findings suggest that the pupil is equipped with some mechanism that can sense quantity. “This result shows that numerical information is intrinsically (本质上) related to perception,”said Elisa Castaldi, a researcher at the University of Pisa. “Thi
29、s could have, important practical implications.” For example, similar methods could be employed to detect dyscalculia, a learning disability that makes people have trouble doing maths, in very young children.12Why does David Burr mention “apples” and “enemies” in Paragraph 2?ATo clarify a concept.BT
