Powerisers
The ability to jump two meters in the air may not be something you have thought too much about.And most people have never considered running at 30 kilometers an hour.But just stop for a moment and think about how our new product could change your life.
Your daily journey to your place of work is probably a mad dash for the bus.There is no point in taking your car because there are traffic jams, and anyway the car parks are probably very expensive or, worse still, full.Here is where Powerisers can help.It takes just a couple of minutes to put them on and then you are away, going past others or even jumping over the object which blocks your way.
That is the practical use for our product, but then there is sport and exercise.Powerisers are set to be the next extreme sport and the keep-fit tools.You can imagine the 100 meters, the high jump or basketball performed by athletes wearing Powerisers.And what better way to build your muscles and keep fit?
Our product is very simple.It is powered by a superlight spring, which uses the gravitational(重力的) pull from your body weight and pushes you with superhuman strength.There have been no records of serious injury related to the use of Powerisers, but extreme caution is recommended.We strongly advise the wearing of protective clothing, including at least a helmet(头盔).
Powerisers make you feel as if you were walking on the moon.Now we make two different models: Basic and Professional.The Basic model is designed for the occasional users and costs around $500.The Professional model, which is designed for the competitive use, has a strongly-made structure and different springs, though that comes at the increased price of $800.Our Powerisers are guaranteed for two years and will be replaced without question if they fail during that period.That is how confident we are.

A researching team analyzed data from long-running studies conducted in Brazil and South Africa to assess whether children exposed to early adversities(逆境), such as extreme poverty, low birth weight, and pre-term birth, could reach their full learning potential by experiencing responsive caregiving and opportunities to learn in their home.They found that early life adversities matter throughout life.Teenagers who had been exposed to multiple adversities early in life had lower IQ scores, were more likely to have difficulties adjusting socially and psychologically, and achieved a lower physical height compared to teenagers exposed to fewer adversities.They also found that being raised in a nurturing(培育)environment could significantly counteract the negative effect of early adversities on IQ and help children achieve their full potential of intelligence.
Globally, more than 250 million children younger than 5 years are at risk of not reaching their developmental potential because of adversities that co-occur early in life and worsen with age.In the US, almost one in five children are raised in poverty and 15 percent do not complete high school.Exposing these children to a nurturing environment, whether at home or in daycare or pre-school settings, can lead to cognitive(认知的)benefits that last into teenage and beyond.
Parents should provide nurturing environments, which include interacting with young children in a positive way such as reading children's books from the library, singing songs together, and playing games with numbers and letters.Children who join in age-matched housework like picking up toys and clearing the table gain skills and feel good about helping.Get children involved in friendly activities as much as possible rather than park them in front of a screen.Children love to learn and in a nurturing environment, they can grow into teenagers and adults with the abilities to care for themselves, their families, and their communities.

7.Which is the best title for the text?
