It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.

One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never net before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful, we can share with others.

What’s the secret to mastering chess? Lots of study and practice. But that’s not all, according to new research suggesting that expert and amateur(业余棋手) players use different parts of their brains during matches.

Scientists in Germany scanned(扫描) the brains of 20 men as they played against computers. Half were grandmasters while the other half were merely good amateurs who’d practiced for at least 10 years.

For a few seconds after a player made a move, tiny bits of “focal gamma bursts”appeared in their brains.

In the amateurs, such bursts were detected most notably(显著地) in an area crucial(关键) for performing new tasks and establishing(形成) short-term memory. But the bursts in the grandmasters were found most often in the parts, of the brain linked with long-term

memory and the ability to perform complex(复杂的) motor tasks. The lead researcher Ongjen Amidzic said his findings, reported on August 9 in the journal(杂志) Nature, pointed that experts and amateurs use their brains in fundamentally(根本) different ways during a match.

“As a young man, I dreamed of becoming a grandmaster and practiced hard but I failed,”said Amidzic, 32.“Now I realize I’ve reached a level I can’t get through.”

A．lots of study and practice can help make a grandmaster in chess B．grandmasters are better at using their brains during chess matches than amateurs

B．you have to practice for at least 10 years to become good

amateurs in chess

C．expert and amateur players use different parts of their brains during matches
