　　How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from?

　　It is your brain (大腦) that does these things．A British scientist showed that sleep can improve one's memory．It's not a dream for students to study when they sleep．In fact, your brain is working day and night．If you learn words before bed, a certain part of your brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep．What's more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(按鈕)” in the human brain．It might make a person more talented(有才能的)．

　　There are more interesting things about the brain．Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light．Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day．According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠)keeps your brain “cool”, which makes us think quicker．

　　Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain：

　　●Eat healthy food．

　　●Get a lot of playtime or exercise．

　　●Don't drink or smoke．

　　●Use your brain a lot．

　　Lightning(閃電)is shocking, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes(襲擊)every day in the world-that's thirty strikes every second．

　　Lightning can also be very dangerous．Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28, 000 degrees centigrade．American Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes．Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times!

　　So, why does lightning strike? Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub(摩擦)together, and cause atmospheric(大氣層的)changes．When this happens, it creates a static charge(靜電電荷)．Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth．It's the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans．About 1, 000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result．

　　Lightning is certainly not something to toy with．When lightning strikes, it's best to stay inside a large building．To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water．Trees attract lightning．Also, do not lie down on the ground, otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease．

　　Robots aren't only in the movies or on TV．One “real” robot recently married a couple at a wedding ceremony in Tokyo, Japan．

　　Fifty guests stood as the music played and the bride(新娘)walked down towards the groom(新郎)．Only one guest stayed seated-the minister(牧師), who happened to be a robot．For this special ceremony, the four-foot tall robot named I-Fairy wore flowers around her head．I-Fairy's eyes flashed colored lights as she pronounced the couple man-and-wife and asked the groom to kiss the bride．The wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to the company that built I-Fairy．

　　A robot might seem like an unusual choice(選擇)to lead a wedding, but if you knew the couple you would think I-Fairy was the perfect choice．That's because the groom teaches robotics at a university and the bride works for the company that built I-Fairy．The newly married couple hopes their wedding will encourage more uses for robots．They hope their wedding will give people ideas about ways in which they might use robots to do “everyday things” in their lives in the near future．

　　Everything that humans hear is in the form of waves(波)．Just as the eye sees light wares in the form of colors, the cat and the eye Curs these different waves into signals that the brain(大腦)can make sense of．

　　The ears and brain have an Amazing amities to recognize(識(shí)別)particular sounds．For example, a mother often can tell when her baby is crying even if there are other crying babies in the same room．This is because the sound of her baby's cry has special meaning to her and the brain has recorded is importance．

　　The ability to recognize sounds improves with experiences．As the brain receives information about sounds from day to day, it stores the information in its memory．When the brain hears new sounds, it gives meaning to them based on the information already in the memory．This is why certain words or songs can make a person happy．Often it is not the words or songs themselves that cause this feeling．The sounds are connected to happy memories for that person．

　　After hearing process controlled by the brain is to decide where a sound is coming from．One ear is usually closer to the source(來源)of a sound than the other ear is．Sound waves are stronger when they reach the ear that is closer．They also reach the closer ear first．The brain recognizes these differences and uses them to decide the location of the source of the sound．

　　Aunt Polly had told Tom to paint the whole fence(柵欄)in front of the house．He thought of the other boys out for the day enjoying themselves and he felt very unhappy．Then he had an idea! He picked up the brush and started painting slowly and carefully．Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared, eating an apple．Tom pretended(假裝)not to see him．

　　“Tom! ” Ben said．“Why are you working? ”

　　“Oh, it's you, Ben, ”Tom said, “I didn't notice you．”

　　“I'm gong for a swim, ” Ben said, “but you don't’ want to come．You want to work, don't you? It's much nicer! ” Ben laughed loudly．Tom looked seriously at Ben and said．“What is work? What do you call work? ”

　　“Isn't that work? ” Ben asked．

　　“Well, no．Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You’ve never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care! ’

　　“Pleas, Tom．Let me do a little, ” said Ben．

　　“No, Ben．If you do, you'll do it wrong．You can't paint very well．If it was the back fence wouldn't mind, but it isn't．”

　　“I won't do it wrong．I'll be really careful．I'll give you my apple．” Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad, His trick had worked．[來源：Z*xx*k．Com]

　　After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them．Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom．He felt very clever because he had discovered something important about the way people are．People only want what they can't have or want to do what they shouldn't do．

　　My Year Abroad

　　This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes．

　　Mariko Okada-Tokyo

　　My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience．I'm not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone．So I got lots of speaking practice．I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture．When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future．

　　Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

　　I spent last year studying English in London．I'm from a small town, and London is a very big city．Sometimes I felt it was too big．There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English．I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats．My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents．I think it was a good experience for me, but I'm glad to be home!

　　Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

　　Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework．I also kept a diary of my experience．I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day．On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture．I'm really glad I went!
