Have yu ever played a cmputer game fr a lng time and then kept seeing the game’s images afterward? This happened t me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris （俄罗斯方块）, created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnv.
Feeling stressed ne evening, I turned n my Switch t find a game t play and relax with. That’s when I discvered Tetris. Befre I knew it, I was bsessed. Even when I stpped, my brain was still playing, with the blcks falling in my mind. I started lking at bjects in the real wrld and thinking abut hw they culd be mved and stacked tgether. I even dreamed abut Tetris. I was experiencing the cmmn “Tetris effect”.
Intrduced by jurnalist Jeffrey Gldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called This Is Yur Brain n Tetris, the effect has been bserved by psychlgists and researchers. The lasting images f Tetris are due t the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which peple have better memries f uncmpleted tasks than thse f cmpleted nes. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps yu thinking f the game’s unfinished task, reprted Tech Times. And the catchy music stays with yu, t.

In his 1991 study, psychlgist Richard Haier at the University f Califrnia fund that cntinuusly playing Tetris resulted in the thickness f the cerebral crtex （大脑皮层）increasing, which imprves brain efficiency （效率）, reprted psychlgy website Practical Pie. Haier’s discvery gt Tetris put int the Guinness Wrld Recrds Vide Gamer’s Editin 2008, as the “first vide game t be prven t imprve brain functining and efficiency”.
S, the next time yu want t play a cmputer game, why nt try the classic Tetris and see if it imprves yur brain functin? But be warned, yu’ll likely be seeing falling blcks everywhere.

“An increase f just 2 ℃ in glbal temperatures culd make the wrld much drier and mre desert-like,” new research has warned.
Accrding t it, mre than a quarter f the wrld’s land surface wuld becme drier and wildfires culd be widespread.

In June, President Trump, hwever, annunced his intentin fr the US, the secnd largest prducer f greenhuse gases in the wrld, t withdraw frm the agreement.
Drught is ne f the biggest cncerns in sme parts f the wrld, where rainfall is rare and water is nt enugh. Sme parks f Kenya, fr example, can g an entire year withut a drp f rain.
