11、Weve all been there: Youre at a dull work meeting or presentation, and your mind keeps wandering to what to eat for lunch, your weekend plans, or whats going on with the new season of Stranger Things.Dont feel so bad about all your daydreaming. Mind-wandering may be a sign of intelligence and creati

12、vity, according to a new study in the journal Neuropsychologia. And as long as your performance at work doesnt suffer when your mind drifts, daydreaming may not be such a bad thing after all, the study authors say.Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology wanted to study what happens to peoples

13、 brain patterns when theyre told to lie still and do nothinga prime opportunity for mind-wandering. So they asked 112 study participants to do just that: lie in an MRI machine while staring at a fixed point for five minutes.The research team used those readings to identify which parts of the brain w

14、orked together during this type of awake but resting state, and they also compared the readings to tests the participants took to measure their creative and intellectual abilities. In addition, the participants filled out a questionnaire about how much their mind wandered in daily life.The researche

15、rs made several interesting connections. People who reported more frequent daydreaming during the day scored higher on creative and intellectual tests. Their MRIs also showed they had more efficient brain systems-meaning different regions of the brain were more in pace with each othercompared to peo

16、ple who reported less frequent mind-wandering.The finding that mind-wandering is associated with intelligence was somewhat surprising, says lead author Christine Godwin, a psychology PhD candidate. Thats because previous research has linked mind-wandering to poorer performance on memory and reading-

I thought that was criminal, so I decided to do something about it,” said Italian school chef Tiziano Vicentini.Now, Vicentini has an amazing range of edible plates for schools. The plates are made out of bread dough, so you can eat them afterwards. “Th

After use, they can be fed to animals or left to degrade naturally. They also have a range of cutlery (餐具）made from corn and potato starch (淀粉).These plates will also

23、 help reduce the amount of plastic we create. Waste from plastic causes damage to the environment, costing governments millions in waste management. Plastic bags often end up in landfill sites. And the burning of plastic waste causes toxic gases that pollute the air.In response to this, governments

24、around the world are introducing tough recycling regulations. And many shops are offering biodegradable plastic bags and eco-safe packaging on their products. To help matters, the International Organization for Standardization (the ISO) has also developed a system to evaluate the biodegradability of

Australian researchers have discovered a way to genetically engineer rice which would provide significant health benefits to more than half the worlds population.A study undertaken at the Univer

37、ed Dmitry K. Belyaev attempted to create a tame (馴化的) fox population. Through the work of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk, in Russia, he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals. His test subjects were silver-black foxes, a melanistic (帶黑色

38、的) version of the red fox that had been bred in farms for the color of their fur.He selected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened. About 10% of the foxes displayed a weak “wild-response”, meaning they were docile around humans. Those that hid in the corner or made aggre

39、ssive voices were left in the farm. Of those friendly foxes, 100 females and 30 males were chosen as the first generations of parents.When the young foxes were born, the researchers hand-fed them. They also attempted to touch or pet the foxes when they were two to two-and-a-half months old, for stri

40、ctly measured periods at a time. If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response, even after significant human contact, they were thrown away from the populationmeaning they were made into fur coats. In each selection, less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next gener

41、ation.By the fourth generation, the scientists started to see dramatic changes. The young foxes were beginning to behave more like dogs. They wagged their tails and “eagerly” sought contact with humans. By 2005-2006, almost all the foxes were playful, friendly and behaving like domestic dogs. The fo
