One day, a little boy and a little girl were playing together in their neighborhood. The boy
showed the girl his beautiful marbles (弹珠 ). In return, the girl showed the boy a handful of
candy. The boy said that they could exchange (交换) their things—he would give her all of his
marbles if she handed over all of her candy. The girl agreed.

(理解). Finally, the boy felt a sense of relief (解脱感). They spent the rest of the day playing

Birds are building their nests 41 rubbish, said a new study. The rubbish includes
cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags (塑料袋).
A group of European scientists looked 42 about 35,000 studies on bird nests. They
found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost 43 on Earth except (除了)
Antarctica (南极洲).
Some rubbish seems to be 44 . This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For
example, cigarette butts (烟头) have some chemicals (化学物质), so they can keep insects (昆虫)
away and 45 the chicks (雏鸟). Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and
other hard things, such paper cards, can make nests strong.
However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的)
chemicals in cigarettes hurt the chicks. The chicks may get sick or have 46 lives. To make
matters worse, if the cigarette still burns while the bird brings it back to its 47 , it may set
fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap (缠住) birds, and it’s 48 for them to get
out by themselves. If the chicks eat other kinds of rubbish by accident they will also get 49 .

Do you find that you learn things faster 51 your parents sometimes Congratulations,
you could be right! Scientists at Brown University, US, found that school-aged 52 .
(child) learn new knowledge (知识) and skills faster than grown-ups. This has something to do
with a chemical (化学物质) 53 (call) GABA in our brains. It reduces (减少) brain noise so
that we can learn things more easily. It also makes new knowledge stay 54 (long) in our
heads.

The scientists scanned (扫描) the brains of children and adults before, during, and after
55 (do) a learning task. It turned out that when children learn new things, the amount (数
量) of GABA rises 56 (quick). But there’s less change in 57 (adult) brains. This tells
us why children are better learners than adults.
The finding, the scientists said, should encourage (鼓励) 58 (teacher) and parents to
let children learn anything from riding a bike 59 playing an instrument (乐器 ) in their
childhood. It could also be used to help adults learn faster by increasing (增加) the amount of
GABA in 60 (they) brains.
