There are lots of experience in our life.The most unforgettable one for me is the speech competition holding last year.I’m interested in English.When my English teacher told me that I had chosen to take part in the speech competition, I devoted me to the preparation.I was determined to win the first prize.I was such nervous when I stood on the stage that I forgot everything.Not until I caught a sight of my teacher did I calm down.Finally，I do a good job.

When I heard I got the first prize，my heart was filled in joy and tears rolled down.Through this speech competition，I understand that it is confidence which makes people successfully.

As we all know, the Spring Festival is 【1】 most important festival in China. It is meant 【2】 (celebrate) the lunar calendar’s new year. During the Spring Festival, family get together and have a big meal in many places. 【3】 many people like best is setting off fireworks, which is one of the most popular 【4】 (activity) during the festival, though it may cause air pollution. Dumplings are the most 【5】 (tradition) food. Children are fond 【6】 the festival very much, because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes. They can also get some money from their parents, which is given to children for good luck. The Spring Festival 【7】 (last) about 15 days long when people visit relatives and friends 【8】 (happy)with the words “Best Wishes”. Nowadays more and more people are enjoying the Spring Festival around the world. People hold the belief 【9】 the Spring Festival and other traditional Chinese Festivals will not 【10】 (replace) by the foreign festivals like Christmas.

Life would be a lot sweeter if you were a memory athlete. Most of us however, are not wired that way. But don’t be discouraged: thanks to neuroplasticity, anyone can transcend their fallible memory. 【1】

There are a few relatively simple things a person can do to help improve their memory function. First up, the basics: the foundation of good memory is good health. 【2】

Then there are more deliberate approaches like practicing mnemonics. A mnemonic device is a trick designed to make remembering things easier. So instead of remembering to buy eggs, rice, apples and dog food, it might be easier to think of READ, which stands for rice, eggs, apples, and dog food. This is the acrostic method.

【3】 Let’s use the same shopping list as an example. Instead of focusing on the word ‘rice,’ this technique works by focusing on the image of rice thrown on the ground in a yard. For eggs, picture a hen pecking at the rice, followed by a nearby tree of apple blossoms, the petals falling around the hen, falling on a sleeping dog. Once the interconnected scene is created it’s a simple visual to ease your way around the halls of the grocery store with no list needed. This technique, where you base a memory around visual images, is more formally called ‘method of loci’.

A recent study published in Neuron has unearthed some interesting insights about the brains of competitive memorizers. The researchers invited 23 of the world’s top 50 memory athletes to have their brains scanned in rest states, and while performing memory tests, and matched each champion to a control participant. Anatomically, the scans showed there was no difference in brain structure or region size between the groups. 【4】 And what’s more, after they gave the ‘naive’ control group training in the method of loci, their neural connectivity began to look more like that of the pros.

A. What you're born with isn't what you're stuck with.

B. Where the difference was observed was in connectivity.

C. Another more complicated mnemonic technique is called a mind palace.

D. Training in method of loci can physically change the way a person remembers.

E. Eating and sleeping right will lead to optimal brain function, the flow-on effect of which is a better memory.

F. The improved memory observed after mnemonic training persists for as long as 4 months after training concludes.

He fascinated Victorian England with his 【1】 skill at cracking cases, based on astute (机敏的) logical reasoning and grasp of forensic science, not to mention a 【2】 of disguises and encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal underclass.

But this detective was not Sherlock Holmes but a real life investigator, Jerome Caminada, who, as a new research suggests, helped inspire Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s celebrated hero.

A biography of Caminada reveals a series of 【3】 similarities between him and the fictional character, in terms of their unorthodox methods and character. It also establishes strong 【4】 between the real detective’s cases and plot lines used by Doyle. The author, Angela Buckley, has even established that Caminada’s casework involved 【5】 an alluring (迷人的) and talented criminal, similar to Irene Adler, and that the detective even had a Moriarty-like nemesis who plagued him over the course of several cases until a final, dramatic confrontation. Mrs. Buckley said, “Caminada became a national figure at just the time that Sherlock Holmes was being created. There are so many parallels that it is clear Doyle was using parts of this real 【6】 for his.”

The son of an Italian father and Irish mother, Caminada was based in Manchester, but was involved in cases which took him across the country, and he enjoyed a nationwide profile in the press, where 【7】 of his exploits were widely reported. Most of his career was spent with Manchester City Police Force although he later 【8】, like Holmes, as a “consulting detective”. As the fictional character relied on a network of underworld contacts — the Baker Street Irregulars — so Caminada was known for his extensive web of 【9】, whom he would often meet in the back pew of a church. These characters helped him build up an encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal fraternity, among whom he would often move in disguise—another tactic in common with Holmes. Like his fictional counterpart, Caminada was noted for his tendency to wander the streets of the roughest neighborhoods alone at night, 【10】 intervening in any crimes he encountered.

Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age, but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.

The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60, found that certain mental functions—including measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solving—started to dull as early as age 27. Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent around age 37.

On the other hand, indicators of a person’s accumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledge—kept improving with age, according to the findings published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging. The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people’s minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse.

“These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one’s abilities, may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no diseases,” Salthouse said in a news release.

The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years. The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的) changes in mental function, and involve solving puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols. In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力) generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s. The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia (痴呆), according to the researchers.
