5、hoursFew trains offer the chance of spotting big game from your seat, but the Tazara Railway does exactly that.

10、ish cave, according to a new study.Archaeologists（考古学家）first discovered several coins laying on the ground at the entrance to a small cave in the woodlands outside Grado in northern Spain in April 2021. The researchers suspect that the coins were unearthed by a badger from a nearby den （兽窝） after a
11、heavy snow which made it harder for animals to find food. The hungry badger probably got into the cave looking for food but came across the coins instead.After fully exploring the cave, researchers collected 209 coins dating to between the third and fifth centuries A. D. “To date, this is the larges
12、t amount of Roman coins found in a cave in northern Spain,” the researchers wrote in their paper. They described the discovery as an “exceptional find”.In the late 1930s, a collection of 14 gold Roman coins, known as the Chapipi treasure, was also found in the same woodlands. The researchers believe
13、 that local people may have buried their coins to keep them safe during a period of intense political instability in the region. The most recent coin in the newly-discovered Grado collection dates to A.D.430,which was after the Suebi-a group of Germanic people originally from modern-day Germany and

18、ching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills（语言能力）and memory. But whether these games deliver on those promises is up for debate. “For every study that finds some evidence, theres an equal number of papers that find no evidence，”
19、 says Bobby Stojanoski， a cognitive（认知的）psychologist at Western University in Ontario.Recently, in perhaps the biggest real-world study of these programs, Stojanoski and his team found 8,563 volunteers. First, participants filled out an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if
20、any, program they used. Some 1,009 participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed12 cognitive tests assessing memory, reasoning and verbal skills. They faced memory
21、exercises, spatial reasoning tasks, pattern-finding puzzles and strategy challenges.When researchers looked at the results, they saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge over the other group in memory, verbal skills and reasoning. Even among those who had used training programs for at l

28、ctions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down.Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University led the project. A decade ago, he chose to focus on the problem posed by microplastics. Theyre everywhere-from the
29、 bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. Theyve turned up in drinking water. Some studies estimate that billions of pieces of plastic end up in the worlds waters.

But that was an indication that they were breaking the plastic down. They also caused the surface of the plastic to change f

That means it shows something can be done successfully.In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unli

The first real-world test will be in a wastewater-treatment plant. “Indeed,” says one researcher. “Well need a lot of testing to sho
