A good memory is a great help in learning a language．Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children－like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents－seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one．In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too．
A man’s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste．When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends．In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind．
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us．

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one．In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581 g．It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态)water．Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life．
The planet Gliese 581 g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth．That is about 194 trillion(万亿)kilometres－500 million times farther away from us than the moon．
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years．A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier．However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark．
At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581 g．What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water．It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface．
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜)towards the planet and search for radiation(放射)．By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质)around the planet and discover it Gliese 581 g has an atmosphere．If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not．But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly．
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581 g．Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers．

can be reached in about 220 years
