17、, as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl, five or six. They were looking the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),They re good! I knew it was French. Because I can speak and understand it.
18、Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits. At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face wa

23、ngsD. the kids were so willing to help their motherCSome primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around. They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain. These differences are associated(关联)with beneficial effects on c
24、ognitive function (认知功能).This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain . Lifelong exposure(接触)to green space in the living places was recordedusing the information on the children s addresses from bir
25、th up through to the time of the study. Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Working memory and inattentiveness (注意力不集中)were graded with computers.“This is the first study that shows the association between long-term exposure to green space and brain structure.” Say
26、s Dr. Payam Dadvand,the leading researcher of the study, “Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain.” The findings show that long-term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in
27、 several parts of the brain. Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests. Moreover, larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness.Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in childr
28、en. Another study of 2,593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness.Humans are believed to be tied to nature. Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn. Accordingl
29、y, green space is thought to prompt important exercises in discovery, creativity and risk taking. These exercises in turn positively influence brain development.Dr. Dadvands study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development,
30、it also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities.Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations, settings and climates. And researchers need to examine differences a
