Every day new Inventions appear on the market. In recent years, a "talking pillow (枕头)"has been on sale in the UK. It has a speaker (扬声器) that can be connected to an MP3 player or a CD player. People can listen to music or radio programmes from their pillows when they sleep.
The pillow is popular with people who have a snoring (打呼噜的) partner. It can play music to cover the sound of the snoring. In a way, it is helpful for people to keep a good relationship.
The pillow is the most popular with students. Why? Because they prefer to listen to lessons before they sleep. They hope they will remember at least some of the information when they wake up.
A US study shows students who receive information during sleep can remember what they learn. But some teachers don't like the new idea. They think the traditional ways of learning may help students learn better.
Food waste is common in many schools. Students at Whitewater Middle School in the US once found 200 pounds (90. 7kg) of food had been thrown away after just one of their school's daily meals. They said it was both unpleasant and educational.
A student said, "You don't realize how much food waste you're making till you see it. " To deal with this problem, Whitewater has added environmental science as a new school program this year. Teachers will lead students to do research about how food connects with the environment, poverty (贫穷) and people's health.
Whitewater teachers make sure students know how their own eating habits are part of bigger problems. In environmental literature (文学) classes, students read books such as Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal.
Teacher Lyman says that in language arts classes, students discuss why poor people often have less healthy food. Lyman says she wants students to ask themselves some basic questions: "What do we eat? What do we waste?
