2、 had been running on land with a plastic tub on his head for three to four days, but he somehow got into the water, worsening his condition.

Nearly every student walking out of the school gate studies a screen, with their head bowed down. Over the past decade, such sc

9、enes have become quite common at least in the United Sates. Research indicates that American millennials (千禧一代的人) look at their phones 150 times a day on average. In the meantime, the number of American teenagers reporting feelings of depression has grown significantly. Some people blame the increas

10、e on the Great Recession (经济大衰退) following 2008 and other social changes. However, a big new study suggests a different explanation - the rise of social media. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, led the study. With data collected from more than 50,000 American teenage

11、rs, she found that those who spent lots of time on social media were more likely to agree with remarks such as “The future often seems hopeless.” Those who used screens less, spending time playing sports or socializing with friends in person, were less likely to report feelings of depression. This,

12、in fact, is not the first time that scientists have found that social media can rob people of their happiness. One study published in 2016 asked a randomly selected group of adults to quit Facebook for a week. It turned out that they reported feeling less depressed at the end of the week than those

13、who continued using it. Some research, however, suggests that social-networking sites can promote happiness if used to engage directly with other users, rather than just to feel jealous(妒忌的) of happy moments someone shares online. This provides a reminder that it is users attitudes that shape their

14、experiences on social media.“I often remind myself that its all filtered(过滤), reflects Sarah, a junior at the high school in Los Angeles. “People only post what they want you to see, so it can seem that their life is superior to yours.” But when asked if she has ever considered deleting her social m

17、ncerned.D.Tolerant.三、 Plants: we eat them, juice themand now it seems we can mine them too! After a successful experiment on the island of Borneo, the botany professor Alan Baker and a group of researchers want to introduce phytomining (harvesting minerals from plants) as a better, partial substitut

18、e for traditional mining. Phytomining, also known as agromining, means collecting metals from live plants. However, this can only be done with a group of plants known as hyperaccumulators. There are around 700 identified types worldwide, and what makes these hyperaccumulators special is that they na

19、turally attract and absorb minerals through their rootsmetals poisonous to other plantsand then store huge, pure concentrations of these minerals in their bodies. The metals can then be extracted from the plants sap(汁;液), oil, or sometimes even live tissue. Baker and his colleagues see a lot of pote

20、ntial in phytomining. Not only can it help meet the growing global demand for metals, but is a way of undoing some of that damage to the environment by traditional mining. One of the biggest problems with traditional mining is that it pollutes the surrounding area. Phytomining can extract metal wast

21、e, plus planting the hyperaccumulators would regrow the deforested areas caused by mining operations. Aside from this, if phytomining is able to replace part of traditional mining, then there would be fewer instances of bad mining practices like abandoned mines, which pollute the nearby waters. Also

22、, since phytomining provides metals that are already naturally pure, there is no need to use huge amounts of energy to purify the ore(矿石). Phytomining has its drawbacks. Harvesting plants on a large scale is expensive today, compared to traditional mining. Besides, plants can be wiped out by disease

23、s or unexpected weather conditions. However, there are many reasons to consider phytomining. After all, we need to make sure that our planet can keep up and sustainable practices like phytomining give us the hope that our advancement doesnt mean sacrificing Mother Earth.1.
