They are a mirror of ourselves.“ Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of Nort
18、h Rhine-Westphalia.“They are social sculptures,“ he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.“ Sofar, Schults social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscows Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in
19、the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.HA Schults work is unforgettable.

20、ing.“Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.

21、 preset(预先设置的) ideas of what art is and isnt, or who artists are or should be.You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them?

25、actor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a
26、 few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that th
27、e U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of 6stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and ce
28、rtainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure.

32、ike computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life.Virgini
33、a Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children 7acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writ
34、ing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students
35、writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts.
