If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆) works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance (机会) to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write, they have to remember them. Since they cannot write them down in a small notebook, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories. Therefore, their memory is being exercised the whole time.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.

A school bus takes children to and from school.

In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (标志). Dr. Frank says it is easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early mornings or late afternoons. That would make children safe (安全).

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and if (是否) their kids are on the bus.

Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses to make kids love their school. The buses can easily make children want to go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!

In China, more and more schools are beginning to use school buses. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. 3,000 yellow school buses will be on the road in Chongqing.

The school buses are important in students' everyday lives. They can help the environment and keep the children safe.

It's said that the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, lived in the Garden (伊甸园). And there is a real Eden in England.

The Eden Project is a place with plenty of different kinds of plants in the world. It's in Cornwall, a county (郡) in tile southwest of England. There are three parts in it: the Mediterranean biome (地中海生物群), the rainforest (雨林) biome and the outdoor gardens. The project is very large. It has an area of 150, 000 square metres. Lots of people go on a trip there every day as it is both a place for having fun and learning about animals and plants.

Children's favourite place is the rainforest biome because it is full of amazing plants. Everybody wants to visit it. You should take off your jackets before getting into the biome because it is hot inside. In the biome, there are big palms (棕桐树) standing on hills. And you can hear little birds sing all the time. Please take a piece of cloth if you wear glasses. The misty (有雾的) air will make you wipe (擦拭) your glasses every few minutes.

The other two parts are also full of fun. Come and visit this amazing place. I'm sure you will have a great time.

Holmes does not say much as we go back towards the moor (沼泽). We m    71     slowly along the path towards the house. Then Holmes s    72     about 300 meters from it. "Let's wait here," he says. "We can hide(躲) behind these rocks. Waston, go to the house and s    73     what they are doing." I go down the path and hide behind a wall. I can see Stapleton leave the room. He comes to the door of a shed (棚子) in the c    74     of the garden. He opens the door and I hear a strange n    75     from inside. After a minute he comes out of the shed and locks the door again. Then he goes back into the house.

The fog (雾) is b    76     thicker now. Sir Henry must go home s    77    .We wait and suddenly see Sir Henry walking towards us t    78     the fog. He walks quickly along the path and climbs up the hill behind us. "Look o    79    ! It is coming!" cries Holmes. It is a hound (猎犬), a big black hound. There is fire coming from its m    80     and its huge eyes are glowing.
