My wife and I spent two weeks in London last year. We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually good and there aren’t too many tourists in October.
We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient as we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive, we couldn’t understand the bus routes, and my wife didn’t like traveling under the ground. She said it made her feel sick.
We went to look at the places which all tourists visit. We saw Buckingham Palace and the National Gallery. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, though, was going to the theatre. We didn’t have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is bad. We didn’t think so. It is true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.

Many students try to study the whole night and not sleep before an exam. Two separate studies show this may do more harm than good. The studies found a good night's sleep may improve memory. The findings of both studies appeared in the publication Nature.
Scientists at the University of Chicago did one of them. They trained students to listen to unclear speech produced by a machine.
Some students listened to the recording after ____________________. Others were tested twelve hours after the training, with no sleep. Guess what? The students who slept understood the recording better.
Professor Daniel says sleep has at least two effects on learning. One is to strengthen memories and protect them against interference(干扰). The second is to recover memories that have been lost.
The study suggested that memories are recorded in three steps. Scientists say the process is similar to the way a computer stores information, but in humans, they say, the second step requires sleep. So remember that!
