阅读理解

    The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers.However, there is another difference between humans and computers.Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do.No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to.But everyone can improve their memory if they want to.Here are some suggestions.

    Try to use new information immediately.For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos."Don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name.Say "________"

    Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153.But if you break it into three parts  109/244/153--it becomes easier.

    Write out what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

Always review information.If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, it becomes easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

    Discuss with a friend.It is always easier to remember things through discussions.You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

    Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.You can always do something to help improve your memory.And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

    All the suggestions are helpful.If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

    Do stars only appear at night? The answer is no .Venus (金星) is the one and only star that can be seen in the daytime. It shone at its brightest in the night sky on February 17th, 2017.

    Venus is the second planet from the sun in our solar system. It is the second brightest natural object, behind Earth's moon, in the night sky. Why is it so bright?

    First of all, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. It is also covered by highly reflective (反射的)clouds, which can reflect about 70 percent of the sunlight striking(照射) it, almost twice as much as Earth does.

    Some called 2017 the year of Venus, because the planet is at its brightest when it goes further away from the sun, and nearer to Earth. The brightest moment happened once in February, and happened again, during daylight, on April 30th.

    If Venus is so bright and close to us, isn't it a better choice for human exploration than Mars? It is closer to Earth than Mars and it's closer to Earth in size. The closer distance to the sun means solar power would be easier to generate (产生) as well.

    However, with a temperature of about 465℃on the surface, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system!

    But scientists never give up. Recently, a team of NASA and Russian scientists created new computer equipment that can stand the temperature of 480℃. It can work under Venus-like conditions for almost 22 days.

    The next step, according to the scientists, is to send a probe(探测器)to Venus by 2025.
