Outside of London, it is possible to take organized tours around the countryside where England best writers grew up. If you join a Charles Dickens or Jane Austen tour, youll have the uniqu
10、e opportunity to visit the locations of famous fictional scenes. But to truly experience literature in person, you can visit Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and watch nightly performances of his plays.Shanghai, China Shanghai is a really charming city, where - underneath

18、ferent sounds. Others hear voices when they see words and numbers. What they experience is called synaesthesia（通感）. A study at the University of Sussex in the UK is finding out how to use synaesthesia to improve your IQ and memory. The study leaders Daniel Bor has been working on exploring memory fo
19、r a number of years. Bor says that carrying out these tests has given them the opportunity to find out more about how we use different kinds of memory. Bor based his latest research on something scientists already know a lot about - “chunks”. He explains that this is a way of parceling out large pie
20、ces of information into smaller units（chunks）, with certain features or meanings, to make it easier to remember. “When I gave you my phone number, 01274737271, you probably remember it as 012-74-73-72-71, or something similar. If you can remember 012 and then 74, you can remember the rest by its fea
21、tures. You can get some amazing benefits from chunks.” In this way, synaesthesia adds extra meaningful information to things that are difficult to remember, such as letters, numbers, or colors. This helps us remember things better. “All these signs are pointing towards synaesthesia being connected t
22、o greater abilities to do certain things, certain jobs,” says Bor. “So, the study began as a way to test that.” They wanted to see if they could create a way to learn about synaesthesia, and use its benefits to help everyone. In the study, they trained volunteers for 10 minutes a day for a week. The
23、 results were not huge, but impressive. They discovered that after training, the volunteers were able to pass the normal synaesthesia tests and their IQ jumped up about 12 points. Although Bor believes they still need to test the increase in IQ with different groups of people, the result is very imp
24、ressive. “Its very useful to increases peoples IQs. Even when the group are already quite clever, like the students who take part in this study.” he said.8.

Only about I percent of graduating seniors, or about 30,000 American students, decide to take a year off between h
28、igh school and college. Gap years, as defined by most US colleges, are structured educational periods of travel, volunteering or other kinds of learning through experiences. They usually have to be approved by the colleges which students plan to attend, and more American students, like Malia Obama,
29、have started to take gap years. According to American Gap Association（AGA）surveys, there was a 22 percent increase in students taking gap years in 2015 over the previous year. While many colleges and particularly public universities dont allow students to postpone enrollment, Florida State Universal
30、ity has begun encouraging its freshmen to take a year off from their studies in order to get some extra maturity and new experiences. “We know very clearly now that gap years can be an educational experience that changes you completely,” said Joe Oshea, the president of（AGA）, “Gap years help increas
31、e students focus while their identifies and future plans take shape.” She believes gap years are good ways for young people to get away from their comfortable lives or pressures from society, and to see their lives from a new angle. “It helps you choose your path, instead of letting it choose you.”
