③The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish， the fish jumped up and down in the moonlight． The father looked at his watch． It was 10 P． M．﹣two hours before the season opened． He looked at the fish， then at the boy． "You will have to put it back， my son．" he said．" I have never seen such a big fish before．" cried the boy" There will be other fish．" said his father． The boy looked around the lake． No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight． He looked again at his father． Even though no one had seen them， nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish， the boy could tell by his father's voice that the decision couldn't be changed． He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the water．

Do you shop online with websites like Taobao？ The money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller． Instead， it goes through Alipay， which keeps your money for a while． After you receive your goods and click the "confirm receipt" button， Alipay then gives the money to the seller．
The process is called "third party online payment"． There is a transfer station， or a third account， between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe． Buyers don't need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing． Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods．
These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay， Tenpay and Yeepay． Among them， Alipay is the biggest in China． It has more than 270 million active users， according to Xinhua．
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system， banks are not very happy． That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks． Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money． Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks．
But WeChat payment is not the same． WeChat doesn't have its own account． When paying through WeChat， the buyers' money goes directly to the sellers． That's why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out "red envelopes" or gift money to their friends on WeChat，

Some people seem to have unusual memories． Zheng Aiqiang， a "memory athlete" on TV show Super Brain， can remember 2， 660 numbers in just one hour!
You would think people like him must have special brains． But according to a recent study by researchers from America and Holland， the brain structure （结构） of ordinary people and 23 of the world's lending memory athletes shows no difference．
Good memories can be trained． New research in the magazine Neuron suggests that a person will get a super memory with just six weeks of hard training．
Researchers found that a technique （技巧） called loci， invented by the ancient Greeks， can greatly help improve memory．
By using loci， you are using your imagination to improve the brain's memory networks． You can link （关联） something you need to remember with a place that you know very well． For example， to remember a list of numbers， imagine yourself walking through your house． Each thing is linked to a number． For example， zero could be the handle on the door and five could be the painting on the wall．
In one study， some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 nouns． At the beginning， they could only remember 26 words， but when they were taught loci， they could remember 62 words．
"Not everyone can become a memory winner． But everyone using the technique can improve his memory greatly，" said Boris Konrad， one of the researchers in the study．
