I cant remember right now. Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes? Usually, we think that older peoples memory becomes bad because their brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea.The human brain works slower in old age， says Michael Ramscar, the lead scientist. But only because they have stored more information overtime. The findings are based on a series of computer simulations(模拟)of learning and memory. Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer reads only so much, its performance on cognitive(认知)tests is similar of a young adult. But if the computer learns the experiences we might encounter over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult.Often it is slower, but not because its processing capacity has declined. Rather, increased experience has caused the computers database to grow, giving it more data(数据)to process-which takes time. This is similar to old people. Imagine a person knows two peoples birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?21 .

What would be the best title for the passage?ADo old people have a bad memory?BScientists new findings on brainsCHuman brains processing capacityDWhich is better, the old or the young?Oxfam, started in 1942, is run by volunteers.

Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of ones own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend ones free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants.
