    Like most people, your intelligence(智力)changes from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in spring than you are at any time of the year. A well known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington concluded(得出结论)from other men's work and his own that climate and temperature have a clear effect on people's intelligence.

    He found that cool weather is much better for creative thinking than warm weather, but this doesn't mean that all people are not so quick at learning in summer as they are during the rest of the year. It doesn't mean, however, that the intelligence of a large number of people seems to the lowest in summer.

    Spring season appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in spring man's intelligence is affected(影响)by the same factors(因素)that bring about great changes in all nature.

    Autumn is the next-best season, then follows winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take long holidays from thinking.

A、in summer B、in autumn C、in spring D、in winter
(2)、In the passage,the word "effect" means           .

D、Ellsworth Huntington concluded from other men's work and his own that climate and temperature have a clear effect on people's intelligence.

   It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
   1. Reduce
   If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
   2. Reuse
   You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
   3.  Recycle
   Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat(压平)and melted (融化) and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
   4.  Recover
   When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的)apples. You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
   5.  Repair
   If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a   “throw-away” society(社会). But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.

    The days of having to carry a phone charger(充电器) everywhere could soon be over. Researchers from America have made great progress in getting energy from human motion(运动). They say smartphones could get enough power just by the motion of fingers on the screen.

    The low-cost device(装置) has already been tested in an American university. Scientists successfully showed an LED touch screen, a total of 20 LED lights and a keyboard, all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the help of a battery.

    "What I predicted is the possibility of not having to charge your smartphone for a whole week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your motion," said one of the researchers.

    The completed device is as thin as a piece of paper. Electrical energy is created when you press it. The device used to power the LED lights is the size of a hand while the device used to power the touch screen is as small as a finger.

    The device will become more powerful when folded. Each time you fold it, the energy you create will be doubled. You can start with a large device, but when you fold it once, and again, and again. It's now much smaller, but it has more energy. It may be small enough to put in a specially made heel(脚后跟) of your shoe so it can create power each time your heel knocks the ground. The researchers are also developing technology that would send the power produced from the heel strike to an earphone.
