20、as more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake. This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example,

21、 when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.By closely studying peoples brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low

22、-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and sou

This is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our mem

24、ory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams.

28、tain measurable amounts of inorganic arsenic(无机砷),the most poisonous kind. Its not just nice: an August 2018 study tested 50 foods made for babies. including organic and nonorganic brands such as Gerber, Earths Best, and other popular labels, and found evidence of at least one dangerous heavy metal

29、in every product.

Some companies are already trying to look into

33、the sources of contamination in their products and try to reduce them. More companies should follow. But the best chance of real change will come with laws. Currently there are no U. S rules on acceptable levels of heavy metals in baby foods.The government and the food industry should unite to deal

34、with the serious threat to our children.1、What did the August 2018 study find?AFifteen of the 50 food brands contained contaminantsBAll organic food brands contained some inorganic arsenic.CEarths Best proved to be a poison-free baby food brand.DAll tested products were contaminated with heavy metal

Thats the conclusion of

38、a recent study from South Africas southern coast.There, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from Arizona State University have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly complex ways as early as 124,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 years ag

39、o.The cave held three important clues about the behavior of these Stone Age people.First, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat.The research

40、ers propose the early Africans moved to the South African coast between 191,000 and 130,000 years ago. Around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.When these ancient people moved to the coast, they pro

41、bably experienced a major cultural shift, the researchers suspect. Thats because observations of modern hunter-gatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and

42、 shellfish.As for the second clue, the researchers unearthed 13 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料). The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. Symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature.Finally, the search discovered over 1,400 stone
