17、n. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia (痴呆), where research consistently shows that learning a ne

18、w language could delay the start of the disease for four to five years a better result than with any medication to date.It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europes minority languages Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.Already her w

21、race. “Maybe it would mean you could do better business.”Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damage

27、ilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. “Its such a small thing, but it makes me feel good and my neighbour feel good.

28、he last few years have seen an explosion in creative ways to tackle food waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual households to local communities. Olio, the app used by Wilson, saw a fivefold increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid growth is contin

Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land close to 30% of the worlds agricultural land is dedicated to producing food that is never

30、 eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.Olio, Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. “The app connects people with others who have

31、surplus food but dont have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities.” Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhood might want. Olio also has a network of 24,000 volunteers who collect surplus food from local supermarkets and st

Brucks doubted whether

37、 videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland, Hungary, Ind
