Its bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to ca5tch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next years trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42 % over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesMatthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge.

Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts!Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah(燭臺(tái)) and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do hot and cold for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say hot and when we walk further away, they say cold. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives.Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja(印度教的禮拜), or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just places a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me!4. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali?A. Because he lives in a rich family.B. Because he lives in two different countries.C.

CAre you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.8. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How exercise makes people strong. B. How to get good scores on a test.C. How exercise helps the brain. D. How the brain can change.9. According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?A. Exercise helps soften our blood vessels.B. Physical exercise helps us think better. C. The brain needs special mental exercise.D. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.10. Why does the author think that yoga is fit for seniors? A. It does good to the joints of old people. B. It does not increase the heart rate. C. It includes learning new actions. D. It can be done in groups.11. The smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _. A. three hours per week B. 40 hours per week C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per monthDFor your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this worldbut itll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planetthe earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While space tourism itself isnt exactly a novel idea, the notion(概念) of building a hotel out there hasnt been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzleafter all, a trip to space is enough for most folks.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene(衛(wèi)生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, Wi-Fi. Because if you cant share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?Of course, the reasons behind the hotel arent just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the International Space Station. Russian space contractor RK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, theres little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if youve recently come into a fortune and are interested in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.12.
