I was born in Damyang, a beautiful place known for its bamboo forests in Korea. I spent much time in the forests painting pictures of the bamboo. Painting is one of my talents. I lived there until last year when my family moved to New York. My mother, a scientist, was asked to come work here.

“There are no bamboo forests,”I said , “there is nothing to paint in New York.” “Don’t worry, my dear daughter. You will find many things to see and paint there,” said my mother . “I will miss home,” I said. “Then you can paint pictures of your favorite places. They will make you feel at home,” she said. So when we moved, I brought my forest paintings with me.

New York was not easy at first. I missed home a lot. Yet when I looked at my paintings of bamboo, I felt much better. I soon found friends at school too. They also like painting, and we now paint in a group after school.

Last month, we had a new neighbor, Varvara, an old lady who moved from Russia, to be closer to her daughter. She was sad to leave her home. My mother and I often visited her. She told us her homesickness and everything about her hometown Vyborg. I could picture her home in my head.

Varvara missed her home so much that she became ill. I worried about her and I wanted to do something for her. I had ever been in her situation before . At least , I had my forest paintings of home. However, she didn’t even have that . Unless...

A few days later, I met Varvara on the stairs. She looked better but still sad. I gave her my gift: a painting of Vyborg. I had painted it from her memories.

She began to cry as she saw the painting. At first , I was worried that she didn’t like it. Later, she told me that those were tears of joy. I knew just how she felt-wherever you go , hometown is always with you.

“What’s the name of the supermarket? I can’t remember right now.” Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes? Usually, we think that older people’s memory becomes had because their brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea. “The human brain works slower in old age,” says Michael Ramscar, the team’s lead scientist, “only because it has stored more information over time.” The findings are based on a series of computer tests related to learning and memory.

Scientists had the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “read” a small amount of data（數(shù)據(jù)），its performance on cognitive（認(rèn)知）tests was similar to that of a young adult . But if the computer took in larger amounts of data, its performance was similar to that of an older adult. Often it was slower, but not because its processing ability had dropped. Rather, increased “experience” had caused the computer’s database to grow, giving it more data to process-which takes more time. This is similar to how old people process information.

Imagine that one person knows just two people’s birthdays and can get them right each time he or she is asked. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people , but can only match the right person to the right birthday 9 times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?

“The larger the library you have in your head , the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.

Guess what Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the United States president Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Arabella Kushner, have in common? 1. Although Chinese is known as one of the hardest languages to learn, a lot of people from different backgrounds are studying it.

On Novemeber 2, the 12th “Chinese Bridge” Competition was held in Zheng zhou, Henan . And more than 120 foreign students from 105 countries took part in it. 2. After it, the competitors also visited shaolin Temple, Longmen Grottoes（石窟）and other historical sites in Henan.

Although they have different reasons for learning Chinese, the competitors were all excited about the country’s rich culture and rapid development. Raissa, a 17-year-old girl, developed a strong emotional connection with China. 3. This led her to learn Chinese at a local Confucius Institute. Fascinated by Chinese culture, she has taken part in activities on traditional Chinese medicine and folk arts during her first trip to China. 4. For Fekete Marcell Zoltan, from Hungary, studying Chinese may offer him a better future job . “After graduation from high school, I would like to further my studies in China,” he said.

Since a bridge has been set up between the competitors and China , where will their journeys take them? Robert Davis, a director of a Chinese-language school in Chicago, may give you a reply. 5.
