As doctors
performed surgery on Dagmar Turner's
brain
,
the sound of a violin
filled the
operating room. The music
came from the patient on the operating table. In a
video from the
surgery, the violinist
was moving
her bow

up and down
as surgeons behind a plastic
sheet
worked
to
remove
her

said in a press
release.
Before Turner's
operation
,
Ashkan and his
colleagues spent two hours carefully mapping
her
brain
to
identify
areas
that
were
active
when
she
played
the
violin
and
those
controlling
language and movement. Waking her up
during surgery then allowed doctors to monitor
whether
those parts were suffering
damage
.
The surgery was a
success. Ashkan said
,
remove over 90 percent of
the tumor, including all areas suspicious of
aggressive activity
,
while
retaining full function of her left
hand.
Brad
Mahon
,
expert at Carnegie
Mellon University
,
said
the basic features of an
craniotomy“—
the type of
brain surgery where patients are awake in order to
avoid damage to
critical
brain areas
—
have remained
largely unchanged for decades. For
example
,
doctors have
long used simple tests such as asking a
patient to name what they're
s
eeing in pictures to
make
sure language ability
is preserved.
But he said
that doctors are now able to map the patient's
brain activity in great detail before
the surgery
,
using an imaging technique called
functional MRI
.
That means
surgeons are coming
into the operating
room with far more information about a specific
patient's brain
.
That kind
of
information helps doctors tailor
tests to a patient's particular
needs
.

A.
To

severely.
C.
To recognize

D.
To remove the tumor while keeping all
function of her
brain.

The Tokyo
Summer Olympics is going green

One novel
focus of the To
kyo Olympics is to be
—
to avoid using too
many
natural
resources
,
so that the games
are easy on the environment. As part of this
goal
,
the
organizers
decided
to
make
all
of
the
Olympic
medals
out
of
metal
recycled
from
old
electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with
small amounts of
silver. But collecting
enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a
huge challenge.
That's because the
amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would
take about 20,000 cell
phones to get
just 1 kilogram of gold
.
Beginning in April 2017
,
the organizers placed collection boxes
around the country
,
and
asked people to tum in their old electronic
devices. Soon people began to respond to the
initiative
,
turning in smartphones
,
digital cameras
,
hand-held games, and laptops. At first,
collection went slowly, but soon more
and more areas began to take part
.
By the end
,
1,621
local governments had helped out with
the collection process.
Then
came the job of breaking those devices down into
smaller pieces. After being taken
apart and sorted
,
the small electronics were
smelted
（
熔
炼
）
to get all the gold,
silver
,
and
bronze elements
.
This is a
tricky
job, which calls for careful attention and good
skill. It's
also dangerous
,
because
some
of
the
metals
and
other
things
aren't
safe
for
people
to
touch
or
breathe
.
By the end of March
,
2019
,
the
organizers had hit their targets of getting enough
metal
for the medals. They had
collected around 32 kilograms of gold, 4,100
kilograms of
silver
and
2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000
medals are available for the would-
be
winners.

I was 16 years old, I was diving in Greece, but I

the
world
'
s first ocean plastic
cleanup system.
Every
year
,
more than 8 million
tons of plastics end up in our oceans
,
according to the
UN
Environment Programme. It is predicted that the
weight of ocean plastics will
rival
the
weight
of all the fish in our oceans by 2050
.
To prevent this from
happening
,
in 2013 Slat
created the
Ocean
Cleanup
,
an environmental
governmental organization
,
and put his plan
for an
ocean cleanup device into
action
.
After
years of research and development in the
Netherlands, a device called System
001/B successfully started gathering
plastics on October 2, 2019. The device uses a
600-
meter-long C-shaped tube to gather
all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup
methods,
the system floats freely
according to the direction of the waves, which
allows waste to flow
into and stay
within the device. A sea anchor is attached to
either end. This slows down the
system
as it floats through the water and allows the
fast
e
r-moving
rubbish
,
carried by the
waves
,
to flow
into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect
waste below the surface using
a
3-meter-deep
skirt
（
档
板）
attached to
the
end.
After
being
gathered
,
the
trash
will
be
dragged back to
shore
by boat and
recycled.
Right
now
,
the system
operat
e
s in the Great
Pacific Garbage Patch
,
an
area that is 3
times
the size of France. Once operational,
the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able
to clear 50% of the great Pacific
Garbage Patch in 5 years.
humanity must work together
to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage
our waste has
caused,
