The more we learn about the advantages of being in nature, the more sense it makes to get outside. This could be especially important for school children.New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded (包围) by greener spaces.1 . But these days, outdoor time is competing for a childs attention with indoor activities. Children may find it difficult to leave computers, televisions and electronic games.2 . All this indoor activity can hurt a childs physical and mental health. But can it affect how well they do in school? Researchers in Barcelona, Spain and in the United States are trying to answer that question.3 . Over one year, the children took computerized tests four times. The researchers tested how green spaces influenced their memory and attention.4 . They believe that good air quality (质量) is the main reason for the results. More trees mean less air pollution. Scientist Jordi Sunyer also worked on the study. Mr. Sunyer says that schools surrounded by greenery have less air pollution in the classrooms.5 . 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。AFinally we know, it seems its not just outdoor time that is good for children but outdoor time surrounded by clean air.BSo, in many parts of the world children are spending less and less time outdoors.CThey found that the children with higher connection with green spaces had better ability to memorize. They were also more attentive.DDr. Dadvand and his team studied more than 2,600 children from 36 schools in the city.

In 1997, the movieTitanicwas a huge hit all around the world. Now, the 3-D version of the movie will come to Chinese theaters on April 10.As anyone who has seen the movie knows, the Titanic struck an iceberg(冰山) and sank on its firstvoyagein 1912, killing 1,517 people. A century after the accident, scientists have found something new to blame(负责任) for the sinking: the moon. Donald Olson, a Texas State University physicist, led a team of astronomers(天文学家) to examine the moons role, according to Reuters.Normally, icebergs stay in place and cannot move until they melt enough or a high tide(潮汐) frees them. A single iceberg can become stuck many times on its journey southward. The process can take several years.According to Olson, a hundred years ago the moon made its closest approach to the Earth in more than 1,400 years. This caused the moon to have a much stronger pull on the Earths oceans than usual, which created a super-high tide. The tide pushed icebergs from shallow waters off the coasts of Canadas provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, into the Titanics way.“Of course, the final cause of the accident was that the ship struck an iceberg,” Olson told Reuters. “It went full speed into a region with icebergs, but thelunar connection(月亮的联系) may explain how an unusually large number of icebergs got into the path of the Titanic.”The research team will publish their research in the April issue of Sky & Telescope magazine.根据短文内容，选最佳择答案,并在答题卡上按要求作答。34 .
