Picture the scene: It's midnight. You're very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Should you eat it? It seems that you shouldn't for many reasons, including its influence on your brains.
Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late - night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains — it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.
"We believe that late-night eating may affect our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory," Dawn Loh. PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. "We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged. memory. "
For the study, the. researchers did an experiment on mice. The mice were either allowed to eat during the daytime or during the night. They received the same amount of sleep and calories. Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice and noticed that the mice eating during the night were less able to remember things well.
So think twice before the midnight snack — it might be bad for more than your weight.
That morning Sean checked the email as usual. Then he found an unexpected email. Could he realize his dream late? Sean was now nearly 40, alone and poor. He dreamed of being. a police officer for a long time but never made it. Was it possibly different this time? .
When Sean was only 5, his uncle Paul once drove the little boy home in his police car. Sean was interested in the car, the lights and the uniform. He decided to be a hero like Paul.
However, when Sean graduated from high school, he followed his teacher's advice and finally became a reporter for a newspaper and then married. During the years, he changed several jobs but nothing made him really happy. Actually he had never really given up his childhood dream to become a policeman. His wife could not bear this and left him. Sean was forced to move back to St Ignace, where his dad lived. "I feel like a failure. "Sean says.
When his father encouraged him to search for a new. job, the opportunity came. Phoenix was in great need of police officers and one of Sean's old friends emailed him, "Do you still want to be a police officer? " Phoenix was a world away — 2,100 miles from St Ignace, but Sean knew it was his last chance and he decided to catch it.
In order to pass the test to get the job, Sean immediately began training, running a mile and a half every day. Three weeks later when he arrived in Phoenix, Sean was a man physically and emotionally (心理上) changed and finally passed the test. The following year, Sean got a prize because of his excellent job. "It took me 35 years. But a promise is a promise. How many people can say they live their life's dream? "Sean says. "I did it. It just proves that it's never too late. "
When you spend three weeks reading a book, and a month later somebody asks you about it and you can't remember a thing you read. What's your feeling? Does it make you wonder why you wasted time on it?
There are some effective ways to learn. And when I say "to learn effectively", what I mean is to not just build up knowledge, but to learn to use it effectively. Something is not truly learned until it changes you in some way.
● Memory is based on connections
Mentor Box is my favourite online book club. It will send you books to read and study materials related (关联) to them: The materials can help you put what you've learnt into good use and make you remember things quickly. You can also do this on your own. When you come across something interesting in a book, write down its connections with something in your life — how it explains something, how you can use it to deal with problems.
● Read in a right way
People believe they have to read everything line by line. This is not true. When you buy a book, you're not buying the words, you're buying the useful ideas. The point of a book is to get the information that is important to you, not to finish it or to understand every word. What matters is key idea. Once you've received that idea, there's no reason to force yourself to sit there and read the rest.
● Ask the right questions
Everything you read should be questioned. You can question the writer's ideas, whether they're explaining information correctly. When reading something you agree with, you can ask yourself, "Is it possible that this could be wrong? "Asking the right questions will decide the depth of your knowledge and understanding, not the ability to remember a lot of facts and numbers.
For Grade 9 students, they will leave school soon. Students in a school in Suzhou get a chance to make a class magazine.
Sun Han is the chief editor (主编) of the magazine. "We have been preparing for the magazine for a long time. During the winter holiday, everyone chose articles they wrote and provided them to the editors, "Sun said, " ".
Xu Lei, another student, wrote about a sports meeting where several boys who were not very athletic(运动的) pushed themselves hard to fight for the class.
Many students say that the articles remind them of the important moments they shared together. " I found my articles written in the past were very naive (幼稚的). I used to complain a lot. But now I feel I can look at things in a more positive (积极的) way, "Han said.
Apart from articles, photos are also very interesting.
"When we go to university or start working in the future, the magazine will remind us of our happy time at school, "Sun said.

Neil liked the freedom that came with his first summer job. He worked at Mitchell's Farm where people could come and pick the corm, berries and tomatoes out in the fields themselves. Then they'd bring their produce to checkout stand, where Neil would weigh it and charge the appropriate price. Mr and Mrs. Mitchell were usually busy somewhere else, so Neil was trusted to manage the stand by himself.
For the most part, Neil obeyed the Mitchell's rules. When someone asked for a discount or a sample, Neil said no. But he did sometimes change the rules for friends, much to their delight.
"Go ahead, taste a few berries before I weigh, "he'd say when it was someone he knew. It was against the rules to eat something before you bought it, but everyone wanted to.
One day, a man came to stand with a basket of com he had picked. Neil weighed the ears of com and told the man how much it cost. The man looked confused.
"But I was here yesterday, and you told someone that for every five ears you buy, you get one free, " he said.
Neil had it in his memory. He had indeed offered that deal to the Thomases, who happened to be his neighbors. Now he felt sad about it. He saw Mrs Mitchell working close by. How was Neil going to explain that he had given a deal to those he knew while he made everyone else pay full price?
Neil thought about offering the man the same discount, but there were people in line behind him, and they were carrying corm, too. Neil hung his head and walked over to see Mrs. Mitchel.
