Du

20、ring meals, the TV is off; all programs must be supervised; on weekdays, she is limited to two hours maximum.

24、nce-equipped toy to fight the distraction economy by developing childrens attention spans.Called Spot, the toy is aimed at learning and discovery.

25、software,Spotrecognizes the object and voices a little monologue（独白）from it, processinginformation to suit children aged five to nine.Theres also a secondary function that comes into play at bedtime, whenSpot uses its in-built projecto（r投影仪） to present a story made up around thedays discoveries.Spot

26、 is a concept at this stage, one that grew out of the research New Deal Design conducted into childrens development. The designers found that the right kind of toy could encourage focus,as opposed to instant satisfaction. They wanted to cultivate a kind of junior-level mindfulness that would set kid

27、s up with positive life skills.In terms of appearance, Spot has a complicated look, with its 3D camera fixed in the head. The models are smooth, including a wooden handle,a button and a base. The choice of materials was inspired by traditional kids building blocks.When Spot recognizes an object, it

28、blinks to signal it has locked the target. Its head also locks into place to avoid any shaking. As an example, New Deal Design describes a girl called Max, who among other things, encounters a robin while out with the toy. Via Spot, the bird says, Hi Max, my name is Robin!

33、tific inventionB. A learning programC. An creative methodD. A tech design studiosDWhen learning a new language, speakers often have non-native accents. Linguistic research suggests such accent is shaped by the speakers first language that they learned when growing up. Schepens teams research puts ne

34、w light on just how strong these effects can be.Therere similar researches from other scientists, but Schepens team analyzed a data set of more than 50,000 adults, who learned Dutch as their second or third languages. Besides, these adults came from more than 60 different first language backgrounds.

35、 These data were collected through a state exam administered by the Dutch government for foreigners that enter Holland. The exam rated each testtakers Dutch speaking proficiency(熟练，水平)The team found that about half of the individual difference in the proficiency of learners could be accounted for by

36、 a handful of reasons: the learners education and sex(women had higher scores than men), the learners age when they arrived in Holland, the time they spent in Holland, and the learners first language. This last reason was the most prominent one since it accounts for 50 percent of the explained diffe

37、rence in learners proficiency.What leads to this? Working with professor Hout, Schepenss team studied the linguistic similarity between Dutch and the 62 first languages spoken by different learners in the database. The huge majority-about 80 percent-of the effect of the language background was expla

38、ined by linguistic similarity. Of the test takers who grew up speaking Arabic, only about 5 percent scored higher in Dutch speaking proficiency than the worst 50 percent of the test takers that grew up speaking German.“Our results suggest this is largely due to the fact that German shares many lingu

39、istic characteristics with Dutch, but Arabic does not,” says Schepens.“This suggests a large part of the non-nativeness of a learner is simply due to the language they grew up with, and this reason is entirely out of their control,” says Florian Jaeger. “The result can play a part in language teachi
