Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland （波兰）the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries．
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle． All over Europe people， especially educated women， have a different attitude （态度）to children than their parents．"I have one child and she is enough for me， "said Galina Tereschkova， a doctor from Moscow． "My husband and I both work full﹣time． We can't imagine having more than one child． "Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all． "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years， "said 19﹣year﹣old student Hana Markova from Prague． Her opinion is typical of 18﹣24 year old women everywhere in Europe．

Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families． In France，women now receive nearly 1，000 a month for a year if they have a third child．Austrian women receive 700 a month for three years when they have their first child．

The face﹣down generation（一代）
If you were born in the 2000s， you are called the oh﹣ohs． The 21st century． That would make you young， creative， connected， world﹣wide， and no doubt smart． Maybe good﹣looking， too． Right？ But what do other people think about your generation？
Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you． They think of you as the "face﹣down generation" because you use your phone so much． They wonder how you will deal with school， friends， and family．
Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt（溺爱）and don't want to face the challenges of adult life． Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents"． They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after﹣school activities such as dancing， drawing， or sports． With parents who do everything for them， today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s．
Does the face﹣down generation need a heads﹣up？ Well， probably not． The fact．is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations． They seem to be willing to become leaders． More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities． There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai， the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school．
So if you're one of the oh﹣ohs， there's reason to be hopeful about the future． Things are looking up for the face﹣down generation． Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud．

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．
