6、he rest of the world, he is known as Pel. Without doubt, Pele is the greatest soccer player ever. Born in a small village in Brazil, Pel grew up playing soccer like most other children of his age. Too poor to afford a soccer ball, Pele and his playmates often made one by tying together a bunch of ra
7、gs. Their playing field was usually a sidewalk. Old tin cans marked where the goalposts should be. Pel and the other boys from his neighborhood often dreamed of one clay becoming professional soccer players. At the age of eleven, Pel was discovered by Waldemar de Brito, a former professional player.
8、 Waldemar de Brito was then the coach of the Bauru Soccer Club and he signed Pele to play for the junior Bauru team. In 1956, when Pele was fifteen, Waldemar de Brito took him to the city of Santos, Brazil, to try out for the Santos professional team. Pele immediately distinguished himself as one of
9、 the best players. In 1957, Pel was selected to play on Brazils national team. He scored the only goal for Brazil in the first game and another goal in the second game. Then in 1958, Pel helped Brazil win ils first World Cup. Between 1958 and 1970, Pele played in four World Cups. He is the only pers
10、on who won three World Cups. Pel played his last game with the Brazilian national team in 1971, but he continued to play for the Sanlos team for three more years before calling it quits. Throughout his career, Pel had an amazing ability to touch people. Once a war was suspended for two days because
11、the Santos team had been invited to play there and people on both sides were so eager to see Pel play. Pels name represents excellence in soccer.

A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what h
15、appened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly. Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new f
16、indings. The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to b
17、e more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later. The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the a
18、ge of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and se
19、ven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.1.What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the

23、rs. Over that time, European cities have seen high-rises, concrete, and asphalt (沥青). And the snailsstill common, still everywherehave been changing, too. In the Netherlands, the results of a citizen-science project suggest that light-colored snails are becoming more common in cities. Researchers bl
24、ame the urban-heat-island effect. Yellow shells, they argue, reflect more sunlight, allowing snails to stay cool in the heat. If you are interested in finding this change yourself, there is an Android app called SnailSnap. It was developed by Niels Kerstes at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center with h
25、is co-workers in 2017. The problem with citizen science, however, is that its hard to say how reliable the data are, Kerstes says. When a citizen scientist uses SnailSnap to take a photo of a snail, the app also records the location. Sometimes the GPS didnt work or people disagreed on the color, but
26、 it gave Kerstes more overall confidence in the data. The team eventually compared snails from four types of habitats: farmland, natural habitats like forests, urban green areas like parks, and urban gray areas that were primarily residential, commercial, or industrial. In both types of urban setlin
27、gs, they found more yellow snails. Kerstes and his co-authors think this is because of the temperature. Cities are often hotter than their surrounding areas because theyve full of materials like asphalt absorbing more radiation and are relatively short of trees. Since dark ones also absorb more radi
28、ation than their yellow counterparts, they may get too hot and have to spend more time trying to escape from the sun. Organisms are evolving all the time. People just dont walk around with this kind of consciousness, says an ecologist. But if you stop to notice snails, you may be more familiar with
29、the evolution thats happening on sidewalks, in alleyways, and all around.1.What is the result of the urban-heat-island effect in Paragraph 2?A.Light-colored shells absorb more sunlight.B.Dark-colored snails are on the increase.C.Rising temperature results in more light-colored snails.D.Urban changes lead to the change in size of snails.2.Whats the function of SnailSnap?A.To encourage citizens to take more photos of snails.
