Stay Home Studying
17-year-old Liu Yu was a high school student in China. She planned to go back to school on Feb 17 to prepare for the 2020 college entrance examination（高考）. However, the Ministry of Education（教育部）told people in late January that the spring term for all schools would be put off because of the serious disease（疾病）in China. So Liu Yu, like all the others students, had to stay at home.
However, Liu and her classmates didn’t fell behind their plans and began studying full-time again – only from home. It may have become the largest online teaching experiment the country has ever seen.
To go with students’ new learning environment, a “cloud platform（云平台）” was started using on Feb 17. It provided students with education resources（资源） covering all school subjects. But some students had difficulty going to the website or using smart phones. A TV channel by China Education Television started airing classes on Feb 17. So students could have classes and study online or on TV at home.
But the online platform and TV channel don’t just offer school knowledge. Students can also learn how to protect themselves from the disease and psychological（心理的）health during this period, according to the Ministry of Education.
For some students, the chance to study from home has had some unexpected benefits. Yuan Siyi, who lives in Hubei province, used to get up before 6 am on school days, but since starting online courses, she got more hours of sleep every morning. “I like online teaching because I have more freedom at home,” Yuan told TEENS. She began her all-day courses on Feb 3.
However, online teaching and learning has its weaknesses compared to studying in a traditional classroom. “My motivation（动力）to study is stronger when my classmates are around me and all working very hard,” Yuan said.
According to the Ministry of Education, online courses are just a short-time way of learning during the disease. When the new term begins, schools will no longer use online classes instead of classroom teaching.
1.When did Liu Yu plan to go back to school?
2.Did Liu Yu begin her full-time study from home?
3.How did students have classes and study at home?
4.What can students learn except school knowledge during this period?
5.What is Paragraph 5 and 6 mainly about?
What makes humans smarter than other animals? We’ve got a bigger brain, of course. But when it comes to brains, is bigger always better?
Traditionally, scientists have thought that humans’ better intelligence（智慧）came mostly from the fact that our brains are three times bigger than those of our nearest living relatives, chimpanzees. People even used to believe that men are smarter than women because men have a little larger brains.
This, however, is not the truth. Scientists at University College London in the UK have found that brain organization, and not brain size, is the key to the advantage of human intelligence, reported Live Science.
Through millions of years of gradual development, our ancestors（祖先）were pushed to get smarter all the time so that they could meet the needs of new environments. However, holding this growing intelligence in increasingly large brains was not the best choice because bigger brains require more energy to power. “This is when reorganization may come into play,” said Christophe Soligo, a member of the London research team.
In the study, scientists looked at the brains of 17 kinds of primates（灵长目动物）, including monkeys, apes and humans. They found that in the process of gradual development, brains didn’t keep growing as a whole. Certain parts of the brain grew more than others as needed, and in this way they could make the best use of their limited brain space.
For example, when early humans were trying hard to live, the brain region（区域） which is in charge of using tools and finding food grew in size more than other regions. But in modern times, the prefrontal cortex（前额皮质）— the region in charge of social cognition (认知), moral judgments and goal-directed planning — grew more than the rest of the brain.
Think of the brain as a room. If a big room is poorly organized, it doesn’t necessarily store more things than a smaller one.
Paul Manger, a professor, explains this using the example of whales. He told Scientific American: “Whales have big brains. But if you look at the actual structure（结构）of the brain, it’s very simple. Brain size only matters if the rest of the brain is organized properly. ”

A.the prefrontal cortex grew most in the brain
