We each have a memory（记忆力）. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

Tony, 18. a member of an anti-tobacco(反烟草)group, he says, “Kids feel that everyone around them smokes.” Tony wants kids to realize that most people don’t smoke. He also wants to tell them that smoking doesn’t make one look cool. Two national studies show that teenage smoking is down. Still, there is work to be done.
Smoking is an unhealthy habit. It can cause heart disease, lung cancer and other serious illnesses. Just being around cigarette smoke can make you sick.
In the 1990s, all 50 states went to court to fight tobacco companies. The states won money from the companies. It helps to pay for anti-smoking groups, but the money is not enough.
Each day, about 4,000 kids light up for the first time. “We have to do a better job of stopping kids from smoking,” says Husten. Ads that tell ugly facts about smoking help to change minds. Setting smoke-free areas in public places works too. Just this month, a California town banned smoking in all public places, such as schools, shopping malls and libraries. It may be bad news for smokers. Health experts say that they will fight until all Americans get the message.根据句意

How much do you know about Top Combine (至上励合 TC), the popular boy band? After two months of training in South Korea, the five boys are back with their latest album Grandness Equal to Heaven (《齐天大圣》). They showed up in Beijing to promote their new record. Hundreds of teenagers screamed in excitement when they saw their idols.
“I was blown away (被……征服) by this album. I knew TC would improve after going to South Korea, but I couldn't have imagined it would be so nice,” said a fan after she listened to the album.
Each of the boys has put something of themselves into the new album, from Zhang Yuan's soft voice to Ma Xueyang's talents composing and writing lyrics. Their hit song Grandness Equal to Heaven is a creative mix of moving rhythms and traditional musical instruments, including flute (笛子). A teenage fan says that Top Combine's new album helps him get through all his tests.
Although they tried to be China's No 1 Motivational (励志的) boy band, Top Combine's debut in October, 2008 was not a big success. The band's first EP Arrival was not immediately popular.
