As well explore here

11、 important scientific leaps and popular new products were invented in this era, some of which remain important to this day.The Printing PressDate 11 th-15th CenturyUse: PublishingWell before Johannes Gutenberg brought the idea of mass production of printed text to Europe with his Gutenberg Bible, th

12、e moveable type printing press was already in use in China. Before this, in Asia as in Europe, books were handwritten to be copied. In 1440 Gutenberg applied similar technology to mass produce books for the general public. Freeing up access to knowledge in a cheap and efficient way was a game change

13、r.CoffeeDate: 15tlh CenturyUse: DrinkThe exact timing and origin of coffee bean cultivation is greatly disputed, but we can say with some confidence that by the 15th century coffee beans were being grown and roasted for the production of coffee in the Yemeni region of Arabia. From there it would spr

14、ead to Egypt and eventually to Europe. First though it took root in the Near East where the stimulating drink became a popular alternative to alcohol. The secondary offshoot of coffee drinking became the spread of coffeehouses where men would meet to play games like chess as well as discuss politics

15、, smoke and listen to music.GunpowderDate: 10th CenturyUse: Entertainment, FirearmsThe black powder was an incredibly important milestone for humanity.

19、parenting that is criticized is a helicopter parent. This kind of parents hover over their children like helicopters, which means these parents are always on top of their children.While being an aware and involved parent is not a bad thing, helicopter parents take it to the extreme. The actions of h

20、elicopter parents actually hurt children, by not teaching them to be responsible for their actions. For example, a helicopter parent would call their adult college-age child to wake them up to go to class, when part of college is learning to be responsible and learning to manage your own time. Helic

21、opter parents arc also overly worried about their kids getting hurt. This means helicopter parents hold back their childs natural curiosity. Part of growing up means your kid has to get hurt, physically and emotionally. This is how lessons arc learned. Instead, the kids of helicopter parents can gro

22、w up to be overly needy, dependent adults. Some people blame the rise of helicopter parenting on the rise of cell phones. Mobile phones make it easier for parents to track their kids all the time.The opposite of the helicopter mom is the free-range mom. The free-range mom follows a slow parenting st

23、yle, meaning she lets her kids explore the world at their own pace with little direction. The name free-range comes from the idea that kids should have the freedom to explore their world or range in a way that makes sense to them.

27、 children through extra classes.C. Allow their children to explore the nature.D. Avoid exposing their kids to painful lessons.CMost sea turtles, whales and fish may have plastic in their bodies. To determine the various forms and colors of this material in marine animals, Marga Rivas at the Universi

28、ty of Almeria in Spain and her team analyzed data from 112 studies published in the past decade. These looked for microplastics and larger macro plastics in marine species globally.Of the studies, 80 examined the gastrointestinal tracts （胃肠道）of animals to see what they had taken in. The others also

29、looked at wider animal tissues to identify plastics that end up in other parts of the body. After examining all of the data, Rivas and her team concluded that 66 per cent of sea turtles have white-colored macro and microplastics in their systems, while 55 percent have a distinct class of plastic cal

30、led microfibers, which are shed by some fabrics （织物）.The high amount of white plastic in turtles was unsurprising, says Rivas, given that plastic of this color, particularly larger pieces, may resemble jellyfish, a large part of the animals diets.Microfibers were also present in 80percent of whales

31、and dolphins - and white macro and microplastics in38 percent of them. The researchers also concluded that clear fiber microplastics are probably the most common form of this waste that is taken in by large marine animals globally. Rivas and her colleagues also discovered that the animals with the h

32、ighest rates of plastic were those in the Mediterranean and the northeast Indian Ocean.“The Mediterranean is the most contaminated sea in the world, so we expected to find these results, says Rivas. Marine plastic pollution has increased roughly 10-fbld since 1980, and Rivas says the problem is wors

33、ened by inadequate water treatment systems. In parts of India and the southeast Mediterranean, waste water isnt adequately treated or recycled, she says. This means that microfibers shed by fabrics in washing machines, and larger pieces of rubbish, enter the sea. Its possible to introduce management

34、 strategies to control these huge threats, says Rivas.28. How did Rivas and her team conduct the study?A. By doing comparative experiments.B. By analyzing data from previous studies.C.

37、t the back of my mind shouting whats wrong with me? -its how Ive felt about rejection my whole life.The earliest rejection I can remember was on my first day of school. I started the term late due to illness and the teacher asked the class who would play with me at break. The silence was deafening.

38、Now, a bit of online dating sees us rejected by half the town before weve even started our day. Theres not a break at work. Is there a worse feeling than hitting the final slide on your presentation, boldly asking any questions? and looking around the room to see everyone on their phones?We need to

39、build resilience. For me, this has come in two stages. First, I spent time listening to the voice of fear that saw each rejection as proof that there was something wrong with me. When I analysed it, I could see it was rarely about me. Perhaps the guy I was talking to was too busy to reply. It was li

40、kely that the magazine Id sent a passage to already had an article on that topic. Now, I assume its about me 20 per cent of the time - and I can live with that.The other thing I do is practice rejecting. Because I hate rejection, I shy away from being the rejector, which means I either please people

41、 or avoid tricky situations. Instead, Ive come up with a few lines for when I want to say no: That sounds great but its not for me; thank you for asking but I decline; it was lovely but I think we should leave it there. Its never pleasant to reject a person but there is a kind way to do it. With res
