23、The 115m Christmas Bird Count is officially underway. The count is an annual investigation of local and migratory(迁徙的)birds and it's organized by the National Audubon Society. From December 14 to January 5, volunteers will gather in more than 2,000 locations in North, Central and South America to count the birds in their area.
Each count takes place in a circle about 24 kilometers wide. The volunteers follow specific routes within the circle and record the number of individual birds and the different species they see there in a single day. The results are sent to the National Audubon Society and later published on Audubon's Christmas Bird Count website. The data collected during the bird count is a key source Of information for ornithologists, scientists who study birds.
This information is used to develop conservation programs to protect bird habitats and the environment /n general. Data from the bird count was also used to determine that three species-the Western screech owl, the rusty blackbird and the Newfoundland red crossbill - should be added to Canada's list of species at risk.
The annual bird count was created to protest another Christmas tradition at the very beginning .in the United States in the 19th century, people would often hold "side hunts" on Christmas Day.
Teams of hunters would compete to see who could kill the most birds or other animals that day. In December 1900, Frank Chapman, an American ornithologist, suggested that instead of hunting birds, people should count them.
Twenty-seven people in 25 locations joined in the first Christmas bird count Last year, more than 70,000 volunteers took part. This year, counts are scheduled to take place in 17 countries, ranging from the Arctic to the Antarctic, with most located in Canada and the United States .instead of taking place only on Christmas day, counts are now held on different days for different areas.

24、Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but people of any age could train their brains to be faster and, in effect, younger. Our brain is a learning machine. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that is required is dedicated (专注的)practice: exercise for the mind.
Michael Merzenich, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco, has developed a computer-based training schedule to speed up how the brain processes information, called Brain Fitness Program. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the program works with language and hearing to improve both speed and accuracy.
Over the course of your training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between “dog”and “bog”, for instance) at an increasingly faster rate. It’s a bit like a tennis. instructor, shooting balls at you faster and faster over the course of the summer to keep you challenged. Though you may have started out slow, a month later you’re pretty quick, ” says Merzenich.
The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any ag6: is highly adaptable. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may speed up in the process.
To keep your brain young, you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing Ping-Pong or contract bridge, doing puzzles, learning a new language or a dance, taking piano lessons, building a model airplane, mastering gardening technique, discovering the secrets of beer-making and, sure, relearning advanced mathematics.
Anything that closely engages your focus and is strongly rewarding will kick your brain into learning mode and will definitely improve it. Give one of these interesting brain exercises airy.
