We each have memory (记忆力). That’s why we still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things in a shot time, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He learns the sounds, remember them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

Next time you're unhappy or complaining about your life, don't turn to a cheerful comedy. You might find a tear-jerking tragedy(催人泪下的悲剧) is just the thing you need to brighten your day.
A team of researchers at Ohio State University, US, has found sad movies can make people happier, Science Daily reported last month.
Many people find tragedies make them realize how good their own lives are, the study showed.
"People seem to use tragedies as a way to reflect on the important relationships in their own lives," said Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, leader of the study. "Tragic stories often focus on themes of eternal(永恒的) love, and this leads viewers to think about their loved ones and count their good and helpful things."
In the study, researchers gathered 361 college students and showed them the 2007 movie, Alonement. The movie is about two lovers who are separated(分离) and finally die during Worid War II. Before and after the movie, the students were asked questions measuring(衡量) how happy they were with their lives. Researchers also asked them before, afier and three times during the movie to measure various emotions, including sadness.
Researchers found that the sadder students felt while watching the movie, the more likely they were to think about real people they had close relationships with in life. This increased their happiness afier watching the movie. Knobloch-Westerwick explained that negative(消极的) moods make people more thoughtful.
"Positive(积极的) emotions show that everything is fine, you don't have to worry, you don't have to think about problems in your life," she said. "But negative emotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeing a tragic movie may make you sad, but that will make you to think more about your own close relationships and appreciate them more."
The link between watching a tragic story and feeling better has long been recognized. The ancient Greeks even had a word for the feeling of happiness afier seeing something sad that led to the modern English word "catharsis(宣泄)".
The study also showed that relationships are a very important source of happiness in our lives, so it is no surprise that thinking about your loved ones makes you happier, researchers said.

A. Students' emotions are measured by asking questions.

A. To introduce the meaning of the word "Catharsis".
B. To explain the importance of knowing how to become happier.
C. To prove that they were of high intelligence and guessed its meaning.
D. To tell readers the relationship between tragedies and happiness was found long ago.
3.From Knobloch-Westerwick's explaination, we can learn that.
A. seeing tragedies makes you more thoughtful
B. positive emotions make you think more about your relationships
C. negative emotions show you have no need to think about your situation
D. after seeing comedies, you will appreciate your close relationships more

I'm pretty sure everyone wants to visit Europe at least once in their lifetime. Here's a list of the most amazing places to visit in Europe.
Riviera
Wow, this is such a beautiful place in Italy. The Cinque Terre is a very beautiful national park, which connects five beautiful villages. Walking paths connect the villages, follow the coastline and offer hikes through hills. The villages remain unaffected by tourism.
Tuscany
Another Italian region, Tuscany is simply attractive. The buildings there are amazing, and the culture is special. From the historical center of Florence to the Cathedral of Pisa, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Make sure you check out the nature reserves, and enjoy a few bottles of the very famous wine.
Lauterbrunnen
Since a school trip here, I've always wanted to revisit this city in Switzerland. The city always seems as if it's trapped in time. There are untouched fountains and springs everywhere, and a huge number of waterfalls and valleys. The area is very popular for skiing.
The Greek Islands
There are plenty of places to visit in Greece. But I love the Greek Islands best. White houses and beautiful churches, beaches and Aegean Sea make this a very popular place to visit. However, there is more to do here than just sunbathe. I cannot wait to go back and check out the caves and culture that make the Greek Islands one of the best places in Europe.
Venice
I am a big Italy lover, and Venice is another city that is not to be missed. It has its own share of history, art and attractive buildings. However, the attraction comes from the pedestrian (行人) — only streets and rivers filled with boats.
1. According to the passage, people who are interested in waterfalls and valleys would most probably go to _______.
A. Riviera B. Tuscany
C. Lauterbrunnen D. the Greek Islands
2. From Paragraph 5 we learn that the Greek Islands_______.
A. hasn't been visited by the writer yet
B. is a good place for sunbathing
C. isn't worth exploring
D. has many waterfalls and valleys
3. What will you probably see when you are visiting Venice?
A. Royal Palace.
B. The Aegean Sea.
C. Streets without cars.
D. Busy traffic.
