My Mother

    We need love．We also need to show love．The person I love most is my

mother …

    You must have remembered the story from your childhood: an old man was worried about his sons because they always quarreled with each other. So one day he asked them to break a bundle(捆) of chopsticks tied together. Clearly, none of them could. But when the bundle was untied, they were able to break each chopstick easily. Why? This is because of the power of unity(团结).

    Dr. John Maxwell, in his book Success Journey says that every success is not something you can achieve alone. Think about it —if at the end of all the achievements, you find yourself alone, will you call it success in a real sense? It is known to all of us that success always belongs to unity. But we often seem to forget it when it comes to individual(个人的) success. Most of us consider our success as a personal thing.

    Your dream and your success do not belong to you alone. Even though you work hard towards your dream, there are people who are working behind you to make sure that you are able to give yourself a hundred percent energy.

    Do you think that it is possible without unity? Don't you feel that these people are doing their best so that you can be successful? And so, unity plays an important role, even if you are talking about your personal success. Just like those chopsticks, they can't be broken only when they are tied together.

    So, it is your responsibility to keep unity if you really want to be successful in your trip. Only if you always treat things and people seriously, you will succeed because all the things and people around you have connections in some way.

Do you like to have any online classes? It is becoming 1 to take classes at home during the early 2020. All you need is a computer or a cellphone. However, most students don't seem to like online classes. A 2 shows that only 33% of over 1,500 students from 10 cities would take such classes.

Many students said it was difficult to focus(集中) on 3 while taking online classes. Lian Ruohan, 15, at the Affiliated High school of Peking University, said, "There are no real classmates sitting near me; no real teachers watching me. I can easily surf the Internet or do 4 things if I want to. It's harder to be always focused."

In order to avoid that, Lian will prepare a lot before classes to make sure she will learn 5 in class. She also pushes herself to communicate(沟通) with teachers about difficulties. She often 6 or answers questions while taking online classes.

Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School, thinks online interaction(互动) isn't 7. "I have few chances to communicate with the online teachers, and they don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is only a short telephone 8 instead of real care," she said.

However, Lian thinks online classes still have many 9. "It saves time and money compared to(和……相比较) taking official classes. Also, if I can't 10 some part of a lesson, I can watch it again to make it clear."

More and more people choose paid study rooms with cute tables and chairs, green plants, pretty walls and quiet computer keyboards. To build a friendly learning environment, some rooms have low light to help people focus on their work. Some places have sunrooms and learners can enjoy beautiful nature from large windows. The workers will tell people to keep quiet in the study areas.

"We hope to offer a perfect learning place to people who want to study," said Wang Yi, founder(创始人) of a 24-hour paid study room. "Over the past six months, the number of people coming was much bigger than we first thought, so we are now looking for new places."

Feng Jia comes to the paid study room every day to prepare for exams. "There are not enough seats in public libraries. Also, there are many people talking or walking around," he said. At home, it is even harder to focus because of phones, snacks and pets.

While many people welcome the paid study rooms, others are afraid that these rooms will replace libraries. Xu Qiang, director of the Shanghai Library's reader service centre believes that public libraries and paid study rooms are satisfying the different needs of people. "People come to public libraries for the large number of books, while they go to the study rooms for the learning environment," said Xu.

Do you have trouble remembering things? Do you want to know how to improve your1 ? Human brain is very small and . 2 . It is only 2% of our total body weight, but it needs about 20% of the oxygen that the body takes in. We can think 3 if our brains get enough oxygen. So we should always make sure there's enough oxygen in the air when we need to remember something. Besides, what else can we do to improve our memory? Here are some 4 .

First, try to get enough 5 . Our memory works well after we have a good rest. If we want to remember something, make sure we have enough sleep every day.

Second, if we have to remember something big, break it down into small parts. It's6 to remember 198756430387 if we break it into four small parts: 198-756-430-387.

Third, don't get angry if we are not able to remember some information. Just do something to 7 ourselves like listening to music, watching a movie and so on. Later, we can try again.

Last but not least, make up an interesting story. If we want to remember a shopping list with bread, fruits, a coat, oil and a notebook, just make up a story with them. For example, Lisa felt hungry and 8 some bread. She opened the fridge, but only found some fruits. So she put on her coat and planned to go to the supermarket. Unluckily, she tripped over(被绊倒)a bottle of 9 and found her lost notebook under the sofa …

If we follow the advice, we will 10 how good our memory is. So let's try to improve our memory together!

When you go to the park, you might find many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a book? 

Reading needs us to focus on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too.

But the big question is, do we get as much information from audiobooks as we do from paper books? Scientists did an experiment (实验) to find the answer. People in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while people in group two read the same paper book. It turned out that people in group one remembered as much information as people in group two do. They remembered the same amount (量) of information, whether they listened to it or read it.

Another study from a scientific magazine further supported the result above. In the study, scientists studied people's brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.

However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing other things at the same time. "If you're trying to learn while doing two things, you're not going to learn as well," Daniel Willingham, a professor at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.
