Anyone who has ever witnessed the miracle in which infants progress from mewling to “Mama” to “Mine!” knows how critical it is for youngsters to hear normally before they speak their first words. 41 , many children who don’t talk by age two turn out to be deaf. The sooner their disability is discovered and 42 , the less likely they are to fall behind in the development of important language and social skills. That is why a growing number of hearing specialists (audiologists) and parents are campaigning for 43 screening of newborns for hearing loss.
Their 44 has registered in some powerful ears. To date, 22 states have passed legislation requiring at least partial screening programs. Part of the push stems from 45 in technology that, among other things, allow children as young as two months to be 46 hearing aids. But there are limits to the technology. One thing parents should realize before they start is that the screening tests are far from 47 . A bad result doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem.
Audiologists estimate that 3 out of every 1,000 babies are born with some kind of hearing loss. Of those three infants, one is profoundly deaf. About half the time, doctors can identify a possible cause, such as a birth weight less than 5 pounds, or a family history of 48 . The rest of the time there is simply no 49 as to why a newborn’s hearing may have been affected.
The screening tests work by introducing a sound into a baby’s ear and then measuring either the 50 of the ear’s internal mechanisms or the electrical activity of the auditory portion of the brain (the auditory brain-stem response test). Just because a baby fails either test, 51 , does not mean that there is a hearing problem. A temporary buildup of fluid in the ear canal or excessive noise in the nursery can 52 the results. For this reason, experts say, hospitals should 53 the screening tests for any baby who doesn’t pass the first time before telling the parents to consult an audiologist for more thorough testing.
It is at this stage that things get a bit 54 . Though 20 of every 1,000 babies fail the two-step screen, most prove on further examination to be just fine. Is it worth 55 17 families of perfectly normal children —not to mention asking them to spend several hundred dollars on advanced tests —to identify three infants with hearing loss

In the middle of 2023, a study conducted by the HuthLab at the University of Texas sent shockwaves through the fields of neuroscience (神经科学) and technology. For the first time, the thoughts and impressions of people 41 to communicate with the outside world were translated into continuous natural language, using a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and brain imaging technology. This is the closest science has yet come to 42 someone’s mind.
Losing the ability to communicate is a deep cut to one’s sense of self. 43 this ability gives the patient greater control over their lives. But it could also give other entities, such as corporations, researchers and other third parties, a(n) 44 degree of insight into, or even control over, the lives of patients. The Neuro Rights Foundation, based at Columbia University in New York, argues that new rights surrounding neurotechnologies will be 45 for all humans to preserve their privacy, identity, and free will. The potential 46 of disabled patients makes this a particularly important problem.
47 this approach, Chile was the first country that adopted legislation, drafting new laws, to address the risks of neurotechnology. It not only introduced a new constitutional right to mental 48 , but is also in the process of adopting a bill that bans selling neurodata, and forces all neurotech devices to be regulated as medical devices, even those intended for the general consumer.
The proposed legislation recognizes the intensely 49 nature of neural data and considers it as organ tissues, which cannot be bought or sold, only donated. But this legislation has also faced 50 , with legal scholars questioning the need for new rights and pointing out that it could discourage beneficial brain research for disabled patients.
While the legal action taken by Chile is the most impactful and 51 to date, other countries are considering updating existing laws to face the new developments in neurotechnologies.
And while it is likely that the first applications of neurotech will be medical, future 52 are likely to involve consumer applications such as entertainment, as well as for military and security purposes. The growing 53 of neurotechnology in a commercial context only causes more legal concerns.
Different people, societies, and cultures will disagree on where to draw the line. We are at a(n) 54 stage of technological development. And as we begin to uncover the great potential of brain science, the need to consider their implications for legal action becomes more 55 .

City air is in a sorry state. It is dirty and hot. Outdoor pollution kills 4.2m people a year, according to the World Health Organization. Concrete and tarmac, meanwhile, absorb the sun’s rays rather than reflecting them back into space, and also __41__ plants which would otherwise cool things down by evaporative transpiration（蒸腾作用）. The never-ceasing __42__ of buildings and roads thus turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves.
A possible answer to the twin problems of pollution and heat is trees. Their leaves may destroy at least some chemical pollutants and they certainly __43__ tiny particles floating in the air, which are then washed to the ground by rain. Besides transpiration, they provide __44__.
To cool an area effectively, trees must be planted in quantity. Two years ago, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that American cities need 40% tree __45__ to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities — and especially not those now springing up in the world’s poor and middle-income countries — are __46__ with parks, private gardens or a sufficient number of street trees. And the problem is likely to get worse. At the moment, 55% of people live in cities. By 2050 that share is expected to reach 68%.
One group of botanists believe they have at least a partial __47__ to this lack of urban vegetation. It is to plant miniature simulacra（模拟物）of natural forests, ecologically engineered for rapid growth. Over the course of a career that began in the 1950s, their leader, Miyawaki Akira, a plant ecologist at Yokohama National University in Japan, has developed a way to do this starting with even the most __48__ deserted areas. And the Miyawaki method is finding increasing __49__ around the world.
Dr Miyawaki’s insight was to deconstruct and rebuild the process of ecological succession, by which __50__ land develops naturally into mature forest. Usually, the first arrival is grass, followed by small trees and, finally, larger ones. The Miyawaki method __51__ some of the early phases and jumps directly to planting the kinds of species found in a mature wood.
Dr Miyawaki has __52__ the planting of more than 1,500 of these miniature forests, first in Japan, then in other parts of the world. Wherever they are planting, though, gardeners are not restricted to __53__ nature’s recipe book to the letter. Miyawaki forests can be customized to local requirements. A popular choice, __54__, is to include more fruit trees than a natural forest might support, thus creating an orchard that requires no maintenance.
If your goal is to better your __55__ surroundings, rather than to save the planet from global warming, then Dr Miyawaki might well be your man.

Although many over-processed foods can satisfy the desire for sweet, fatty, salty foods, research suggests these items are particularly bad for the heart and brain, with mood and cognition taking a hit.
The most recent research looking at the __41__ of over-processed food found the most far-reaching results. Researchers __42__ direct links between higher consumption of over-processed foods and a greater risk of many health issues.
These results are __43__ earlier studies. Diets high in these foods were linked to greater risk of depression and anxiety, according to an analysis published in the journal Nutrients. In one of these studies, risk rose from __44__ just 33 percent of calories from over-processed food. A separate study found that taking in just 20 percent of calories from these foods was linked to a 28 percent faster rate of cognitive __45__ compared with people who ate less processed food.
Also __46__ is a study tracking about half a million people living in England, Scotland, and Wales that found the risk of dementia (痴呆) went up by 25 percent for every 10 percent increase in over-processed food. While the exact cause-and-effect relationship is still unknown, the strongest evidence from prospective studies __47__ the idea that eating high amounts of over-processed foods increases the risk of depression in the future.
It is common knowledge that eating too much salt or sugar is linked to high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes. What the public may not appreciate, __48__, is that all these conditions affect the brain by raising the risk for dementia. __49__ such as certain artificial sweeteners may also disturb the production and release of brain chemicals, such as dopamine, which can negatively affect mental and emotional __50__.
Another problem with over-processed foods is that they might be addictive. Over-processed foods have more in common with a(n) __51__ than foods by Mother Nature. Humans have evolved to respond to foods that are sweet, fatty, and high in calories. For most of human existence this helped us __52__. But in nature, foods are __53__ modestly high in sugar — like berries — or high in fat, like nuts. You don’t find foods high in both sugar and fat. That’s a distinctive __54__ of over-processed foods. Add in salt, artificial flavorings and bright colors, and our brain simply __55__ these foods.
