The problem is e-waste, short for electronic waste. The girls learned some dangerous chemicals (化学品)in e-waste can harm the environment and peo
20、ple.Later in the year, they had to come up with an idea for a science project. They remembered the interesting topic from their test. So the girls started a recycling drive to help other students and the community learn about properly recycling e-waste. They called themselves the E-Waste Girl“In our
21、 town, people recycle paper plastic and glass, but not electronics. What can we do?” asked Marisa.“How about asking our friends if they know how to recycle e-waste?” suggested Jenna.The girls asked their friends, and nobody had heard anything about it. Many of their teachers didnt know either. So th
22、ey taught everyone, including their teachers, to learn about properly recycling e-waste. Then they put recycling boxes in the school hall and asked the students to collect old cell phones, radios and other items. When the boxes were full, they sent them to a special recycling center. The recyclers t

27、etitions bring students a bright futureCDo you have trouble remembering things youve read? Scientists at RMIT University in Australia have come up with a new font(字体) that can help you rememberby making words harder to read.Fonts are used to make letters look a certain way on computers or in books.
28、lf youre writing a report, you can give a different look to the words in your report by choosing a different font. For example, you can make them look like they might look in a book, or you can make them look like handwriting.Scientists have discovered that people often remembered things better if i
29、t was a little bit harder for them to read. The scientists learned that if you are reading words that are difficult to recognize, your brain has to work a little bit harder to make sense of the words that your eyes are seeing. This extra work helps your brain remember the ideas better.Now scientists
30、 at RMIT in Australia have taken this idea and created a font just for remembering things. The font, called “Sans Forgetica”, is a little bit harder to read, on purpose.The name of the font is a joke of sorts. “Sans” means “without”. When its used for fonts, “sans” usually describes a font with simp
31、le lines. “Forgetica” sounds like the famous font “Helvetica”. But taken together, the name “Sans Forgetica” means “Without Forgetting”There are two main things that make the font harder to read and easier to remember. Probably the most obvious one is that all of the letters have gaps(缺口)in them. Wh
32、en the letters have these gaps, the brain has to fill in the gaps to recognize them. This makes readers slow down and pay attention to what they read.The other surprising thing about Sans Forgetica is it slants（倾斜) backwards. You may be used to seeing words written in italicsletters that slant towar
33、d the right. Stephen Banham, who helped create Sans Forgetica says, “Backslants are only used in maps to show the position（位置)of rivers.”When someone creates a new font, they often sell it. But RMIT is giving away their font for free, hoping that it will help students and other people who need to re
34、member things.27. Why was Sans Forgetica created?A. To help people recognize difficult words.B. To help students practice handwriting.C. To help students write special reports.D. To help people remember things.28. What idea have the scientists taken to create Sans Forgetica?A. Reading words with mor
35、e letters exercises brains.B. The font with simple lines helps people read quickly.C. Working hard to recognize words improves memory.D. People like to read things that are a little hard for them.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Letters in Sans Forgetica font slant toward the right.B. Lette
36、rs that slant toward the left are uncommonly used.C. Gaps in letters make people interested in what they read.D. The brain pays no attention to the gaps in Sans Forgetica font.DWeve all felt confused before. The feeling of not knowing what the answers or solutions are can make us feel useless, stupi
37、d, and cause us to worry.People are often likely to think the person who has all of the answers is smarter than the one who asks a lot of questions. As a result, people often try to hide their confusion in different ways. People sometimes act as if they have the answers. At other times, people make
38、guesses or create an answer even if they know it isnt right.But confusion might actually be a good thing. When we jump to an answer, we dont have time to explore(探索)the thing were confused about. Instead of paying no attention to your confusion, accepting it and taking the opportunity to think about
39、 whats confusing can benefit our learning. In fact, scientific studies show that confusion actually leads to deeper understanding. A 2004 study explored six moods that people feel while learning, including upset, bored, and confused. They found that students who spent more of the lesson confused lea
40、rned the most. In another study, scientists tried to confuse students by giving them contradicting（矛盾的)information. Students who expressed confusion during the lesson did better on the final test. Not knowing the answer to a problem gives us space to look at different ways to solve it. The feeling o
41、f confusion also encourages us to look more deeply into the problem. In the end, this helps us understand the topic on a deeper level.Confusion is also important for learning your identity(身份). People find out their identity in two steps. The first step is exploration, where you try out different gr
42、oups and values and see what fits. The next step is commitment, when you decide firmly（坚定地）about some parts of your identity. You make up your mind that you will act in a way that fits your identity. Exploring your identity can feel very confusing. But a study found that people who do the most explo
43、ring about who they are have better outcomes such as higher self-confidence and self-esteem（自尊)later in life.So, instead of trying to hide your confusion, try a new method, ask for help, or research different ways to deal with the problem to work through your confusion.30. Why does a person try to h
44、ide his confusion?A. Because he wants others to make good judgement on him. B. Because he has good ability to guess and create an answer. C. Because hiding his confusion helps him work out a solution.D. Because telling others his confusion will make them confused.31. What is the finding of the studi
45、es in Paragraph 3?A. Good understanding leads to less confusion.B. Confusion can have helpful effect on learning.C. Digging deeply into a problem may cause confusion.D. Confusion prevents the development of self-confidence.32. The word “commitment” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”.A. promise B. ima

To tell readers about the research results on confusion.C. To explain to readers its normal to feel confused.D.
