It was a February afternoon. We were in a classroom. Taylor Angler watched some ducks swimming on a farm. But it was all in her head. A virtual reality headset (虚拟现实头戴式显示设备) took her there. "I was surprised to find that the ducks were right in front of me! It was an exciting experience (经历)." Taylor said after taking off the purple headset and finding herself still in the classroom. Many students around the world are taking VR "trips" like Taylor. But what change does it cause in learning? 

Taking children to visit different places is a good way to teach them about the world. But what can children do if they forget it after the trip? VR lets children go back at any time. 

It's difficult to talk about something if you didn't see it with your own eyes in the past. If you didn't see the ocean, with VR, now you can have a look at it for yourself. 

VR can also help students in science classes at school. "Too often at school, when you do experiments (实验), you put different kinds of chemicals together and then get the result. And if you aren't successful, you need to do it again, " a high school teacher said. "But we don't have enough chemicals. With VR, I just need to do it again on the computer. I don't have to use chemicals."

VR is useful, but that's not to say we don't need real-world experiences. The real world is what we really need to learn about.

Collecting scrapbooking (剪贴簿) is a kind of hobby. It is popular for more than 500 years. Some people call it a friendship book. They keep pictures, letters, poems and other things they want. Today people collect many things in scrapbooks. Some people have funny collections, like pictures of the world's most ugly dogs. Other people may collect stories about the bad weather. 

To start your scrapbooking, first, you should decide what to collect. Start with just one idea. Next, you need a book with paper, scissors and glue. Then use the scissors to cut out the pictures or stories. At last use the glue to stick them to the background paper. 

Scrapbooking is so popular these days. I think people want to record their family history and show it to other people. When I was a boy, I always saved bits of paper, things like movie tickets and holiday postcards. I made my first scrapbook for my grandfather ten years ago when he died. When I sat at his desk, I found some wonderful things like my grandfather's birthday cards and photos in the past, then I put them in the scrapbook. After that, I made two more scrapbooks for my brother and me with beautiful collections. I want to keep those happy and beautiful memories (记忆). That's the real meaning of scrapbooking. 

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 We all have experienced the strong link between smell and memory. A whiff of chlorine(一股氯气) probably reminds you of summer pool parties, while the scent of flowers may bring back memories of your grandma's garden. Now, researchers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) have found that breathing in pleasant smell could even help improve memory and learning.

 The study, led by Cynthia Woo, invited 43 healthy adults aged between 60 and 85. The scientists divided them into two groups. The test group(实验组) was provided with some natural oils with different fragrances(芳香). They included orange, eucalyptus(桉树), lemon, peppermint(薄荷), rosemary(迷迭香), and lavender(熏衣草). However, the control group(对照组) only received fewer types of natural oils with different fragrances.

 The participants were asked to use one of the scented oils(香精油) to perfume(使...充满香味) their homes for two hours every night for six months. They were also asked to change the fragrances every night.

 At the end of the six months, all volunteers took a memory test. The test group outperformed the control group by a shocking 226 percent!

 Woo and her team thought that it does not matter when the scents are taken in. However, varying the fragrances is the key. The scientists believe the changes of different smells helps activate (激活) the memory centers of human brains.

A new study has found that certain fragrances may help prevent memory loss in adults. The findings were published in   the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience on July 24,2023. The study also showed that certain fragances could probably also help improve memory in younger people.

 The UCI team's next plans are to carry out a similar study on older people who already suffering from memory loss. They are eager to learn if pleasant smells can help reverse(逆转) the memory loss.
