Consider the Mechanical Pencil

If you used to collect small objects. I'm sure (if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.

In one of the math preparatory classes I (21)________(go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive-mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22)________ I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I've long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) ________(hide) in an empty moon-cake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.

Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) ________ (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don't have to buy (25) ________ wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil. There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26)________ is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils "lead pencil" in casual conversation, the term "lead pencil" is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27)________ not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: "John,stop that! You're going to get lead poisoning!" I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28)________(safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.

It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29)______ ______ the moon-cake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the moon-cake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me (30)________(use) tomorrow.

Geography Makes a Silent Return

In many ways geography is the forgotten science. Even the word “geography” tends to make people think of students (21) _______ (label) maps in social studies class. But that hasn’t always been true.

Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.

Geography, (23)_______ (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t always been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.

Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24) _______ geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest. For more than a hun dred years, the magazine’s stories and pictures (25) _______ (tell) people about our exciting world.

Technology has changed the way people think about geography. Travel is now easy. The internet makes information simple (26) _______ (find). We trust our phones to take us (27) _______ we want to go. Even National Geographic has expanded beyond traditional geography, but that doesn’t mean geography has become (28) _______ (important).

While some apps are obvious examples of modern geography in action, geography remains important in more subtle (不易察觉的) ways, too. Geography, which helps house hunters, solves

public health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) _______ (use) to plan communities as well.

Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics. That makes them well-suited for many different jobs and industries. Today, geographers often have titles like “urban planner” or “data analyst”. And the world is noticing (30) _______ number of graduates with degrees in geography is also growing.

Maybe it’s time for you to discover the forgotten science again.

When educators think of literacy -- the ability to read and write -- they often place more importance on stude nts’ abilities to read and fully understand a piece of writing.

But experts say critical and creative writing skills are equally important. And, they say, they (21)_______ (overlook) too often in the classroom.

Compared to reading, writing is (22) _______ (active). It helps students be independent thinkers, take ownership of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others, says Elyse Eidman-Aadahl. She heads the National Writing Project, (23) _______ offers help for teachers who want to push students to write more.

Elyse said, “I have to say (24) _______ we want an education system just (25) _______ (focus) on making people consumers and not on helping them be producers, this emphasis on reading only -- which does happen in so many places -- is very short-sighted.”

She said students’ writing work now usually centers on examining a text, (26) _______ _______ presenting a new idea. Writing, she said, should be “the central thing you’re learning. Not writing on a test, not writing to demonstra te you’re learning (27) _______ someone has taught you....”

Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who heads a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab.

She said writing affects a person’s ability to re ad and more than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not trust their writing abilities (28) _______ they start. But she said they learn to enjoy the writing process and become more effective readers, too.

Elyse said employers today seek workers “all the time” who can write well. Digital tools increasingly mean that people are “(29) _______(interact) with the internet through writing,” she said.

Young people are already writing all the time -- through text messages, emails and on social media.

Elyse believes every young person today is a writer if they are connected to the internet. So, she added, “we have to help them do it in the best, most responsible, critical, prosocial way.”

Rebecca argues that writing also helps students work through difficulties they face in life “subconsciously”.

“They’re not writing a story about a difficult fath er or directly about a bully in class, (30) _______ creating a fictional scenario (电影剧本) that might feel distant enough for them to go deep into it.”

Eating jellyfish could save endangered fish

According to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction — everything from birds and mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn't great news, (21)_____________ the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood—and it involves eating jellyfish.

Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species (22)____________ (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23)____________ they're eating.

The research team stresses the fact (24)____________ this is only a brief view of the real problem. "A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish'. Here we didn't look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25)_____________ the actual species was listed — so we've made a huge underestimate of the actual catch of endangered species."

There are some ways to untie the mess we're creating in the world's oceans, including (26)____________ (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it's not the first time scientists have suggested (27)_____________ as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.

Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species (28)_____________ the menu. "We

need to improve the labelling of seafood (29)_________ __________ the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice," UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told ScienceAlert.

And the informed choice, at least in some places, is (30)_____________ (easy) than you might imagine. In Australia, where the researchers are based, there's the Sustainable Seafood Guide to provide the best choices for seafood. There's also Seafood Watch in the US, which is run by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

The Rise of Robot-Chefs

CREATOR is a new hamburger joint in San Francisco. It now claims to deliver a burger worth $18 for $6 -- in other words, (21) ______ (provide) the quality associated with expensive restaurants at a fast-food price. What matters behind this claim is that its chef is a robot.

Creator’s burger robot is a trolley-sized unit that has a footprint of two square metres. Customers send it their orders via a tablet. They are able to cook everything from (22) ______ well-done the burger will be to the type of cheese and toppings they want.

The process sounds rather simple now. But, in fact, the machine took eight years to perfect after it (23) ______ (create). As far back as 2012, a mere two years into the project, it was described as “95% reliable”, but that is not enough for a busy kitchen. Chopping tomatoes was a particularly tough challenge, but even details like the very tool (24) ______ packs the burger into a bag without squeezing it were tricky for the machine to master. Only now, with a machine to make reliably 120 burgers an hour, (25) ______ Alex Vardakostas, the engineer behind the project, and his co-founders, a mixture of technologists and caterers, feel confident enough to open their first restaurant.

Creator is not alone. Other robot chefs have already been working, (26) ______ (prepare) entire meals, or soon will be, in kitchens in other parts of the world. (27) ______ ______ ______ that, this new wave of automation could signal a dramatic shift in the way the fast food industry employs people.

Rather, more of them will be in roles where they can directly help customers. “Creator’s goal is not to be the most automated and (29) ______ (human-centered) restaurant, but actually not,” said V ardakostas.

It is too early to say whether this first wave of robot chefs will develop well in such a demanding environment as the kitchen. (30) ______ it does, it’s certain to mark a change in our relationship with cookery. Cooking could be something people choose to do simply for the sheer pleasure of it.

Science Isn't Always Perfect—But We Should Still Trust It From environment pollution to climate change, we make decisions every day that in volve us in scientific claims.Are genetically modified crops safe to eat? Is climate change an emergency? In recent years, many of these issues have become politically polarized, with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political ____31____. When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist, was asked by one member why we should trust the science, she replied, "because it's science!"

For several decades, there has been a(n) ____32____ and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are ____33____ by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been r ight about most things,from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.

Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods, and these methods have changed with time. Science ___36_____ changes:new methods get invented, old ones get ____37____, and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many d ifferent things. And that's a good thing,because the so-called scientific method doesn't work. False theories can produce true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn't prove the theory that was ____38____to test it is true.There also might be many different theories that could produce that same_____39___result. On the contrary,if the experiment fails,it doesn't prove the theory is wrong; it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the ____40____.
