2、 the area, using traditional methods and local materials,” she says. “For example, the lifts up to the front doors are made of canes（竹竿）grown in nearby fields.

3、 week at the Lake Manayara Tree Lodge in Tanzania. She says, “The houses were comfortable with running water, a clean bathroom and, luckily, large mosquito nets above the beds.

4、he only problem there was the high night-time temperature: even though my bedroom had an overhead fan, I didnt sleep very well.”Australian technician Richie OHara was a guest at the Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge. “The tree house had all the advertised facilities（设施）such as running water and a

5、 fridge,” he says. “In fact, I hadnt fully read the advertisement, so I didnt expect there would be an Internet connection.

6、me days in a tree house in Alaska last July. “I couldnt believe if when I saw it,” she says. “It had everything, even hot running water and TV, though I seldom watched that because I was out most of the time.

9、ofessional team in England. I always knew I was going to be a professional soccer player.I had a full soccer scholarship（奖学金）to a top Midwest university, but when I got to college, things began to change.

11、I ever had a deep interest. But I finished school at another university and then did a few jobs. I worked in the financial industry, and then for several tech companies.

16、dies have offered differing opinions on whether video games are bad for you. Weve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.In 2013, psychologist（心理学家）Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of

17、young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with higher cognitive functions（认知功能）, memory formation and fine motor（精细运动）function.Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offlin

18、e. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behavior.Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test, where

19、non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours. “Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “an one part of attention which is also i

20、mproved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, its very similar to the influence of wine on the health.

24、o ask people to make good use of video games.DWords fail me, I was trying to think of a word the other day but it just didnt come. Now, what was it? It wasnt something difficult. They hardly ever are. No, the ordinary words are the worst, and some are impossible to remember. Last year, I had to writ

25、e “versatile（多才多艺的）” on my notice board, which is often used in literature（文学）.Recently, I have learnt that there are two kinds of memory the fact-and-figure kind and the dreamy kind. The first allows you (or doesnt) to remember the name of someone if you ever run into them, while the other takes yo

26、u back to what you were doing when you first met them.The other thing is that your mind prepares the memory in the brain but then sends it somewhere else for safe keeping, so that some time later, you forget what youre doing in the middle of going upstairs to get your house keys.On the upside, some

27、memories are the ones your body remembers, like riding a bike. Once you learn how to do it, youll never forget. Another good example is, as I discovered last week, how to play the piano after 30 years of not even having thought about it. OK, Im not the best pianist in the world but its pretty good f

28、or someone who often forgets names.The Americans are busy setting up what they call mind gyms where people go and do puzzles together, the idea being that you cant do much about your brain cells（细胞）dying but you can get the ones that are still alive to say hello to each other.
