child I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes I ran upstairs and found her in

participated in the study All had been sightless for at least 20 years Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11 The rest went blind after age 16 The experiment also included 10 people who

street for instance is much harder when you can t see the cars coming Still the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did especially those who went blind after age 16 In another experiment the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11 These brain parts

strategy The forum held recently was jointly organized by the Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education in China and the Postgraduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in the US It aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system While some educationists in China keep a doubtful eye to the country s educational system in recent years Their American counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in China saying that it is still one of the best in the world An American educationist told
