Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 1 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can got on a bicycle after several decades and still 2 away. A mother who has not 3 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of over-learning, which can be stated as following: 4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 5 of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 6 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 7 .
The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 8 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 9 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning, 10 , is usually a good investment toward the future.

Cars are too expensive for many people around the world to own. Not only that, many cities are already full of traffic, and many country areas have rough roads.
So how do people 21 those distances that are too far to walk? They use public transportation. If you ride the subway 22 bus where you live, you can appreciate some of the benefits of public transportation. With many people 23 one bus or train there is less traffic and, more importantly, less 24 .
Which of the types of mass transit described below are you familiar with? If a regular bus can 25 dozens of people, imagine what a bus twice the size can hold! In Great Britain, there are many buses that are 26 double-deckers.

Many large cities around the world take advantage of the 28 beneath the streets and run underground trains. People in Paris, Mexico City and Tokyo may use the subway system to get to school, to work, or to visit friends in other neighborhoods. Both the Japanese and French have 29 High-speed trains to link various cities.

Azure Warrenfeltz, a 4-year-old girl, is fluent in Japanese and Spanish. She also can 21 bits of French, German, Arabic and Italian, and she soon hopes to learn some Mandarin Chinese.
In today's globalized world, Azure is one of many young American children whose parents insist her 22 include foreign languages.
"It's such a 23 environment now, you never know what you might need," says Azure's mother, Julie Warrenfeltz, who started schooling her daughter in foreign languages when she was 6 weeks old. "She couldn't 24 a violin, she couldn't stand upright, but I wanted her to do 25 ."
Not only is learning a foreign language easier for children than it is for 26 , but children who are exposed to other languages also do better in school. They are more 27 to diversity, says François Thibaut, who runs The Language Workshop for Children, which has nine schools around the East Coast.
Language study for children is based on immersion (沉浸), he says. Kids sing songs and play games to help develop language comprehension skills. When children start learning languages at birth, they have the 28 to learn many languages at once without getting 29 — because, as the brain develops, so too does the ability to separate one 30 from another.

Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 1 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s fun to share with others — a lesson I needed to 2 myself as well, as it 3 .
One evening Danae had 4 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 5 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our 6 wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 7 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 8 . So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you can’t 9 them back tomorrow.”
A look of 10 came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 11 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay; I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat 12 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 13 that our Go Fish set would be 14 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 15 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?
