20、y and boost your mood. Other studies have shown that upbeat music isnt the only type of music that can be helpful, however.

25、h the creative idea of an eco-bank, which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while also helping the environment. Established in 20xx, The Bartselana Student Bank is the worlds first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least
26、 5 kilograms(11 pounds) of solid waste(paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram(2.2 pounds) of recyclables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and envi
27、ronmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individuals account where they
28、collect until hisher savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw hisher money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target. “At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project, ” Jose recalls. “They did not
29、understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.” The youngsters persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers a
30、nd begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20, 20xx, the young boy was awarded the famous Childrens Climate Prize (CCP). “Joses eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing,” a judge said

An Eco-bank, Economical and Ecological While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They be
35、came the worlds first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher, Will. Will is just an avatar(用户头像) that appears on the students desktop, tablet, or smartphone screen, not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Auckland energy company Vector and AI company Soul Machines worked together to d
36、evelop Will, which has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to perform human-like behavior. The digital teacher is currently assigned to teach Vectors “Be sustainable with energy,” a free program for Auckland elementary schools. Just like the humans it replaced, Will is
37、 able to instantly react to the students responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam(网络摄像头) and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues(非口头提示). For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way inter
38、action not only helps capture the students attention, but also allows the programs developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed. Vectors Chief Digital Officer, Nikhil Ravishankar says, “What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at th
39、e world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” Will, in place since August 20xx, has been a great success thus far. However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. For one, the avatars knowledge base is sever
40、ely restricted. But more importantly, even the smartest digital avatars could never predict and react to all the unexpected situations that educators have to deal with on a daily basis. However, it could come in handy as a “personal tutor”, providing kids with one-on-one help on specific subjects or
