Everything-frm the kind f surface it sits n,t the clr f its sitting areas,t the placement f the surrunding fence-is specifically designed fr kids with autism（自闭症）.

The benches n the utside f the playgrund lk simple frm far away, but are “ne f ur mst inclusive sensry” elements, Hack said. They have many different clrs that bring abut feelings f calm and curisity. They are als made with smth material that can be felt and mved.

New findings suggest that when it-cmes t learning, the snake may be quite a bit like humans. David Hltzman, a scientist at the University f Rchester, has fund that snakes have a much greater capacity fr learning than earlier studies had indicated.
Hltzmanˈs study challenged 24 snakes t escape frm a black plastic cntainer the size f a childˈs pl.Cards munted n the cntainerˈs walls and tape n its flr prvided the snakes with visual and tuchable signals t find their gal: hles in the cntainerˈs bttm that ffer a dark, cmfrtable spt t hide.
Simply falling int a hle isnˈt the nly prf that the snakes are learning smething, thugh. “Speed t find that gal is ne f the measures which shws theyˈre learning,” Hltzman says. “On average, they take ver 700 secnds t find the crrect hle n the first day f training, and then g dwn t abut 400 secnds by the furth day f training. Sme are actually very fast and find it in less than 30 secnds.”
Studies dating back t the 1950s interpreted snakesˈ awkwardness with mazes（迷宫）as a pr reflectin n their intelligence. “Early attempts t study snake intelligence were prblematic because the studies used mazes as testing arenas（场地）-as thugh snakes might be expected t run thrugh mazes in the same way mice run thrugh mazes,” says Peter Kareiva, a prfessr f zlgy. “Snakes d nt encunter anything like mazes in nature, and they d nt learn hw t run mazes in labratry cnditins.”
Hltzman als fund a few age-based differences in the signals the snakes use. Yung snakes appear t be mre adaptable and resurceful, using a variety f clues t find their way t the exit.But their elders seem t rely much mre heavily n visual clues. “Actually,ne f the amazing findings frm ur studies is that snakes d use visin in lcating places,” says Hltzman. “They dnˈt just rely n the chemical clues picked up by sticking their tngues ut, as many snake bilgists assume.”
8.What is the functin f the cards and tape？
A. T direct the snakes t the exits.
B. T prtect the snakes frm bright lights.
C. T cver the hles at the cntainerˈs bttm.
D. T make the cntainer a cmfrtable spt t stay.
9.What d the data in paragraph 3 shw abut the snakes accrding t Hltzman？
A. They are skillful escapers.
B. They are gd learners.
C. They cmmunicate with each ther.
D. They adapt t envirnments quickly.
10.What was the prblem with early attempts t study snake intelligence？
A. They chse the wrng testing arenas.
B. They failed t d tests in labratry cnditins.
C. They referred t studies dating back t the 1950s.
D. They cmpared snakes with a different kind f animal.
11.What astnishes Hltzman abut snakes？
A. They rely n sight t find their way.
B. They leave chemical clues everywhere.
C. The yung beat their elders in many ways.
D. Their tngues are unable t recgnize chemical clues.

Research led by eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam shws that birds are affected by the mass use f firewrks n New Yearˈs Eve up t a distance f 10 km（6 miles）away.
With data frm weather radars and bird cunts an internatinal team f researchers revealed hw many birds take ff immediately after the start f the firewrks, at what distance frm firewrks this ccurs and which species grups mainly react. “Birds take ff as a result f an acute flight respnse due t sudden nise and light.We already knew that many water birds react strngly, but nw we als see the effect n ther birds thrughut the Netherlands,” says eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam. In the scientific jurnal Frntiers in Eclgy and the Envirnment, the researchers therefre argue fr large firewrks-free znes.
Last year, ther researchers at IBED discvered that geese are s affected by firewrks that they spend an average f 10% lnger lking fr fd than nrmal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time t restre their energy t their frmer cnditin, after fleeing frm the firewrks.
Because 62% f all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius f 2.5 km f inhabited areas, the cnsequences f firewrks are high fr all birds thrughut the cuntry. “Flying requires a lt f energy, s ideally birds shuld be disturbed as little as pssible during the cld winter mnths. Measures t ensure this are especially imprtant in pen areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects f firewrks n birds are less prnunced near frests and semi-pen habitats. In additin, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which
are less likely t fly away frm disturbance.”
The authrs argue fr firewrks-free znes in areas where large birds live. Hekstra: “These buffer znes culd be smaller in areas where light and sund travel less far, such as near frests. Furthermre, firewrks shuld mainly be lit at central lcatins in built-up areas, as far away frm birds as pssible. It wuld be best fr birds if we mved twards light shws withut sund, such as drne shws r decrative firewrks withut very lud bangs.”
12.What can we learn abut the research？
A. Itˈs the first ne abut firewrksˈ effects n birds.
B. Itˈs cnducted by cllecting data frm weather radars.
C. It shws the extent f the firewrksˈ influence n birds.
D. It keeps track f birds thrughut Netherlands and beynd.
13.Why did geese spend mre time lking fr fd？
A. T find a place withut firewrks.
B. T stre mre fd in case.
C. T find a new surce f energy.
D. T make up fr the lst energy.
14.What des the underlined wrd “ prnunced” in Para.4 mean？
A. Predictable.B. Nticeable.C. Admirable.D. Avidable.
15.What can be the best title fr the passage？
A. Firewrks in the wrldB. Firewrks-free znes
C. Panic in the airD. Birds thrughut the cuntry
