(2025·皖江名校联考)Some museums in Paris are well worth a visit.
Curie Museum
In its original lab, Marie Curie spent 20 years at work, revolutionizing the field of radioactivity.In the same lab, her daughter and son-in-law discovered artificial radioactivity, earning them the 1935 Nobel Prize in chemistry.Those are just a few things that make the museum special.Perhaps more strikingly, it’s one of the few science museums in the world in which women play a starring part in the history of science.Of over 56, 000 visitors in 2024, the majority were women aged 18-34.
Smoking Museum
Tobacco use has fallen out of favor in recent generations, but, according to the Smoking Museum, examining its history and artifacts (文物) reveals many aspects about how people react to tobacco as society and economy have shifted over time.It houses tobacco-related permanent collections with works of art on the walls, conveying a message that smoking is a nearly universal practice.
Museum of Perfume (香水)
Perfume is known to influence memory, mood and experience.This museum is designed to explore the methodology and history behind perfume making.Visitors are welcomed into the perfumer workshop, where they can make their own signature perfume under the guidance of some professionals.
Museum of Fairground Arts
It’s more like a 19th-century festival.Almost everything, from the curiosity cupboards to the merry-go-rounds, demands interaction.“The museum is brought to life by our visitors, ” says Favand.“Objects can be touched, and there’s the possibility to play with centenarian fairground attractions or ride old merry-go-rounds.”

(2025·泉州质检)When I was four, my grandfather suddenly got lost in a park one day.It was the first instance that informed us that he had Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病).Over the past 12 years, his worsening condition and his wandering have been worrying us.My aunt struggled to stay awake at night to watch over him, but often failed.Concerned about my aunt’s wellbeing and my grandfather’s safety, I searched widely for a solution, but in vain.
Then two years ago, while looking after my grandfather, I was impressed by the moment when his foot landed on the floor.Why don’t I put a pressure sensor on the bottom of his foot? Once he stepped onto the floor and out of the bed, the pressure sensor would detect an increase in pressure caused by body weight and then wirelessly send an alarm to the caregiver’s smartphone.My desire to create a sensor-based technology was born.
When laying out my plan, I faced three main challenges.Firstly, I had to create a wearable sensor.After testing different materials like rubber, which was too thick, I decided to print a film sensor with pressure-sensitive ink particles (颗粒).Next, I had to design a wearable wireless circuit.Thankfully, I was able to find out about the Bluetooth low energy technology, which produces little power and can be driven by a coin-sized battery.Lastly, I learnt to code (编码) a smartphone app to turn the caregiver’s smartphone into a remote monitor.
Integrating these components, I successfully created two models: a built-in sock sensor and a re-attachable one.Having tested it on my grandfather with 100% success in detecting his wandering, I beta-tested it at California care facilities last summer.Now, I’m using response from tests to improve it into a marketable product.
One thing I’ll never forget is when my device first caught my grandfather’s wandering at night.At that moment, I was really struck by the power of technology to change lives for the better.

(2025·永州模拟)When we sleep, our brain is still actively processing the day’s experiences and integrating them with past memories.Previous studies have identified links between pupil (瞳孔) size and sleep state, as well as between sleep state and memory formation.However, it has been unclear how fresh memories are processed without blurring into old ones.For example, how do we learn to play the piano without forgetting how to ride a bike?
Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain-scanning electrodes and tiny eye-tracking cameras to mice.They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day, such as navigating a maze, and then observed them during sleep.(Fun fact: mice can sleep with their eyes open.)
The study revealed two distinct substages during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, a critical period for memory formation.One substage replayed new memories, coinciding with narrowed pupils.The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils.These stages alternated rapidly.The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages, blocking sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) limited the mice’s ability to remember new information.
It is also found that the brain has an intermediate (中间的) period that separates new learning from old knowledge.The results suggest that the brain can multitask distinct cognitive processes during sleep to facilitate continuous learning without interference.It’s like new learning, old knowledge, new learning, old knowledge, shifting slowly throughout sleep.
The implications of the study are far-reaching: such a non-invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory, for example.The study also supports the hypothesis (假说) that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information.Catastrophic forgetting, known in AI, is an area where machines still lag behind biology.What’s more, the findings provide a potential solution for preventing catastrophic interference while enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks.
Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains, similar studies need to be conducted in humans to verify these results.
