That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 T
2、ED Talk , Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at Facebook puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains , is important for critical (有判断力的）thinking ,
3、 problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature , Strayer claims , helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15,000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friend
4、s and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore , swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example .He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping . He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It a
5、lso prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children . She calls it a “regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah , David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term expos
6、ure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However ,he found , it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without
7、 any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.1What is David Strayers opinion ?AAmericans dislike outdoor activitiesBElectronic equipment should be quitted CNew technologies are a double-edged swordDElectronic equipment brings great convenience2Why does Strayer insist

9、 Rest Develops Good MemoryCTips on Using New Technologies DBeing in Nature Is Good for the BrainBA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important . These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have hig
10、her IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿）connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different
11、sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the patternA-B-B. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech
12、was more active during the A-B-Bpattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar.Position is key

They expected the first group whod watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the sam
15、e sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audiolearned nothing.5What makes connections in
16、 a babys brain?AHaving a higher IQ. BExperiencing new informationCThe baby early age DThe connection with other babies6What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?ABabies identify different sound patterns. BWord order is relevant to meaning. CBabies can well understand different words.DA certain brain region processes lang
