In one of the photos, you can see his students drawing the same images in their notebooks.One might ask, Why do they bother to take such a challenging course? But heres the reason: Even though the students
12、 at Akotos school dont have computers, they are still required to pass a national exam that includes a section on computing skills before they move or to high school.So Akoto does what he needs to do to ensure that his students understand the material He has drawn pictures many times for his student

18、n one in five species of maple trees faces extinction, warning that 75% of the threatened species are “geographically restricted” in their native regions.The trees are experiencing a vast decline in habitat, due to urban development, wood harvesting and agricultural expansion. Time is running out fo
19、r the worlds biodiversity. Every recent survey of plants and animals in the wild points to this. This is happening nearly everywhere rarer maples exist. And because of climate change, the narrow habitats that support species at the edges of dry places and at the tops of mountains are quickly disappe
20、aring.The trees can be found in subtropical and tropical regions, as far south as Indonesia. The only species found in the UK, the field maple is not under threat. Not only are the trees a popular attractive feature in parks and public spaces, but they are a key part of the natural ecosystem in wood
21、lands, as well as being an important wood crop in several countries. Although the sugar maple in North America, which produces maple juice, is not endangered, two of the closest relatives to the species are endangered.The report notes that conserving at-risk species in their natural habitat is the b
22、est conservation tactic. But collections in botanical gardens and seed banks-called ex situ collections can act as insurance policies against extinction. There are currently 14 species of maple, including four that are critically endangered, which are absent from these types of collections.One speci
23、es in Mexico, the Acer binzayedii, is in “desperate need of conservation”despite only being discovered in 2017. “It is at risk from climate change in its cloud forest habitat and threatened by logging and forest fires while it is also absent from ex situ collections,” the report adds.

27、se bumps.Its such a thing that a group of scientists call “skin excitement”a feeling of cold caused not by a drop in temperature or sudden scare, but by the sense of beauty. “Skin excitement” can come from a song, a painting, a moving movie scene, or even a beloved memory-pretty much anything that c
28、auses the giving out of pleasure-soaked dopamine in your brain. But it does not come for all of us.Your favorite music uncovers a lot about your personality，and so does how you respond to that music. Studies suppose that as few as 55 percent of people experience “skin excitement” when listening to m
29、usic. And if you count yourself among this group, the goose bumps on your skin arent the only giveawayscientists can read it in your brain, too. In a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Harvard researchers performed brain scans on 10 students who said they
30、 reliably got cold when listening to music, and 10 students who didnt. They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence than no-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual activ
31、e imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains.So, what type of music causes the chills? It seems that the type is not so important; participants in the new study reported getting cold from songs of
32、 every kind. And any song connected with a strong emotional memory of the listener can produce the most reliable results. For me, thats the song Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler, which I listened to as a kid in the car with my dad, on the way to the summer camp.12What can we learn about “ski
