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 languages. 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 exercises39 .

Next, lets have a look at his growing experience（经历）. Ten-year-old Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young boy didnt look the same as most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. “I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince, but I kept asking myself who I was,” said Obama.However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Barack Obama became the first black president in U.S. history. Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is an African（非洲人） and his mother is a white American. This unusual background（背景）made him want to know who he was. With the help of his friends, Obama finally went to college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard University, a famous university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Later, he became the third black senator（议员） in U.S. history.During his competition for U.S. president, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. Obamas success（成功） is a historic victory（胜利）. It made Martin Luther Kings dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character.The titleThe70 . black president in U.S. historyBe bornOn August4,1961At age 10The number of black students at his school is threeHe looked71 . from most other studentsIn72 .

The most important day in our lives is today，” the wise man replied calmly.“Why？” the young man was very surprised. Is it be-cause there is some unusual event taking place today？”“No. Nothing has happened today.”“Is it because of my visit？”“Even if nobody visited me today，today is still very important，because today is the only wealth we have.
