【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 have fun at playgrounds with other kids, regardless of their physical abilities or disabilities. The basic idea behind Boundless Playground is that play is both part of the joy of childhood and an important way for children to learn about the world. Kids who are kept away from playgrounds are denied this enjoyment as well as the learning. Far from being a place of happy excitement, traditional playgrounds are often places of separation and loneliness for those who can’t join in the fun. Contrary to some strict ideas about what a playground for children with special needs should be like, a Boundless Playground is every bit as colorful and challenging as a traditional playground. That’s why it is inviting and fun for all children. And for Hanna, Matthew, and other kids like them, a playground like this is also a dream that es true. 40. What did Hannah Kristando? A.

C You can’t walk into the office without Rihanna’s voice singing “work workworkworkworkwork” in your head. And that one line from Lady Gaga’s“Bad Romance” still makes you want to are monly known asearworm songs—those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis. Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth HellmuthMargulis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs. Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to be small parts of a song—not the whole “the songs you’ve heard recently also have the most possibilityto get stuck in your memory,” she says. Butsometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing in your head.“Once I was at the doctor’s officeandsaw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gaston—a character from Beauty and the Beast,”Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldn’t get“Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn’t thought of the tune in that instance, she was able to identify her earworm’s trigger: the Gastonlooking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says. Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new—the unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some wellestablished ways to cast off the earworm songs. “Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don’t require their full attention—stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says. Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it’s almost like we’re singing along with it. If you make your mouth do something else—chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friend—that can kick out the earworm. You could also face your enemy.
