Harbin is known as "the City of Ice". Usually, it has heavy snow from the early November. It's time for Harbin to come to life and attract visitors all over the world. 

Harbin Ice and Snow World has been a business card since 1999. This 816,682-square-meter park is the largest ice and snow theme park in the world. Visitors can enjoy more than 1,000 artworks made of ice and snow. And also, they can try the super ice slide (滑梯). The number of the ice slides this year is increased from 8 to 14 and the longest one is 512 meters. 

Visitors from the south of China is a large part of the tourism crowd. Chen Ling, a visitor, said, "I'm from Guangzhou. I come here to enjoy the hot winter. My trip will last about a week. I hope I will have a great time!" However, the southern visitors may be less prepared for the cold. So the local government gives the most important suggestion: Pack enough warm clothes. The more, the better. A Harbin taxi driver said, "My wife works in a hotel. These days we're busy but we both feel very excited. Ice and snow are important parts of our city. All the visitors are sure to feel the enthusiasm (热情) of us. Welcome to my hometown!"

You may feel bored in winter sometimes. But Harbin Ice and Snow World can make the long, cold months beautiful and creative.

Robots can become cheerleaders*,too!

People often see cheerleaders in their everyday life. It's nothing new. But a Japanese company has made some cheerleading robots. On Dec 26, 2022, these robots were dancing for a two-day show at the company in Tokyo. At 36 cm tall, they stay on black balls to dance. The sensors* help them do this. More than that, they help the robots know where to go as well. 

Feel free to change your car's color

Do you believe that one day, people can change the color of their cars? It's not a dream anymore! Think about this, you spend much money on a car but you can only have one color for it. Now with the BMW iX Flow, you can change the car's color! It uses E-Ink technology. Just a button*on an app can change its color. All you need is a mobile phone. Isn't it amazing? How much is it? We don't know yet.

You can relax if remembering everything is not your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength — in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.

Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers Paul Frank and Blake Richards of the University of Toronto found that forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.

Making intelligent decisions does not mean you need to have all the information at hand, it just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients (客户) and situations. Our brains do this by generating new neurons (神经元) in our hippo-campus (海马体), which have the power to overwrite existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.

When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs, our brain is making a choice that these details do not matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains further decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on minor past details.

If you're an analyst who meets with a client weekly, your brain will recognize that this is a client whose name and story you need to remember. If this is someone you may never meet again, your brain will weigh that information accordingly.

We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.
