The team at Pntificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiag, Chile, came t this cnclusin after analyzing the results f 19 studies. They were cnducted between 2000 and2023. All but ne f the studies fcused n the relatinship between math skills and bard games.
In these studies, kids aged 3-9 played bard games under the supervisin (监督) f teachers r trained adults. The 20-minute sessins were held twice a week fr abut six weeks.

It culd be said that trees naturally call fr attentin as they climb tward the sky with their arms utstretched (伸展的). Yet, it’s still easy fr us t ignre them. As we live busy lives, trees seem t play the rle f a backgrund.
Nthing culd be further frm the truth. Trees are imprtant t the quality and health f ur lives, ur hmes and ur planet. Rted t a single spt, they appear still. But that stillness is nt equal t laziness.

Being arund trees can als imprve a persn’s bld pressure, mental health and bst creativity. In fact, dctrs in Canada are s cnvinced f nature’s benefits fr the mind and bdy that they started suggesting patients free passes t natinal parks.
It’s time t put trees in the sptlight and inspire peple t plant trees. This isn’t a ne-sided relatinship. What we give t nature we will receive in return.

Mai Lin wasn’t ding well enugh at schl, r at least she wasn’t satisfied with herself. She wished she culd d better.
“Let’s review the material we learned in the last unit,” the histry teacher said. “Wh can tell us what caused the War f 1812?” Mai Lin sat at her desk, staring ahead. She hped the teacher wuldn’t call her name. They hadn’t studied the War f 1812 at her ld schl and she didn’t knw the answer
“Alisn?” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Mai Lin thught. Of curse Alisn wuld have the answer. She seemed t have all the answers. Alisn was the mst ppular girl in schl— always surrunded by lts f bys, best friends, and thers. She was like a brilliant sun.
Mai Lin hadn’t made ne r tw friends f her wn s far. Her ld schl was small and unimpressive, but a shy persn like Mai Lin had a chance there. This new schl, hwever, seemed as big as an airprt t Mai Lin, and it seemed very hard t get arund in it. She still gt lst smetimes in the schl.
Mai Lin frwned (皱眉) as Alisn answered the teacher’s questin. Alisn prbably never gt lst, Mai Lin thught t herself. Yu culd prbably put Alisn dwn in the middle f a desert, and within five minutes she’d be able t tell yu the best way t get hme.
Histry class finally ended, and Mai Lin headed fr the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Alisn, wh was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree, was very gd at it. Beside her, Mai Lin felt like a very small and flish ant. Tday, hwever, the gym teacher pinted t a thick rpe (绳索) hanging frm the ceiling and said, “Everybdy! Yu’re ging t climb this rpe tday.”
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
