In this digital age, we search almost everything online before we decide what to do. According to a US-based business reviewing website, the top searches at different times of the night in different European countries vary a lot. Below are some of the more interesting findings. Take a look.
Italy: While most Europeans are searching for restaurants or bars around 6 p.m., the Italians are searching for messages, shoes and job agencies.
Germany: Coming from perhaps the most organized and efficient country, the average German is attracted to food and drink. Having looked up restaurants and bars earlier in the evening, they have already been searching for breakfast and brunch by 9 p.m.
UK: Karaoke is one of the most popular pastimes in Asia, but in Europe, the UK seems to be the only nation to look first for Karaoke bars in its Internet searches, roughly around 9 p.m. Later into the night, Britons are going to 24-hour pharmacies (药房)by 10 p.m., and then there is a steady interest in 24-hour food stores and delivery, until 1 a.m.
France: The French call it a day online quite early, at about 10 p.m. But they don't do it until they've had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “night club” and “dance”.
Spain: The Spanish seem to be quite practical. They search for elementary schools and dermatology(皮肤科) at 10 p.m., followed by swimming lessons at midnight.

(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.
“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”
Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.
“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”
1.Why was Duret in New York?
A. To meet his girlfriend. B. To spend his holiday.

Tips for Staying Sharp
It’s not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you’re feeling a bit sluggish(迟钝的)when it comes to remembering things. If you’re worried about your forgetfulness, try out these five tips to stay sharp.
1.
You’ve probably heard the term “you are what you eat.” If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy. But if you decide to eat fruits, vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you’ll find that you’re full of energy.
Never stop learning
Challenge yourself constantly---whether it is puzzles, reading, cooking or other tasks that will keep your mind working. If your mind is always learning new things and active, you’ll realize that it’s much easier for you to learn new things and to function.2.
Stay fit
Being in good health and staying in shape is a big part of staying sharp.3.If you choose to be lazy then your body is not going to give you the energy that requires remembering things and completing tasks. However, if you put forth the effort into being health then your body will expel(释放)the energy you need to achieve your goals.
Ensure enough sleep
Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis.4.It also helps your body build up an energy reserve so you can improve your ability to focus and avoid distractions.
Socialize more
5. Social interaction will help you develop multitasking, problem solving and other skills that are necessary in life to keep your mind sharp.
A. Feed your brain
B. Avoid eating too much
C. Your body will only give you what you put into it
D. Lack of sleep contributes to tiredness and slow reaction
E. Conversations require individuals to stay aware and active
F. According to studies, sleep helps strengthen and recover your memories
G. Remember you brain is a muscle and if you want to get the most out of it, you must use it

How to Draw a Mind Map
Mind mapping relates to writing down a central idea and thinking up new and relevant ideas which radiate out from the center.
Look for relationships
Use lines, colors, arrows, branches or other ways of showing connections between ideas on your mind map.1.. Personalizing the map with your own symbols and designs will assist in your recall and understanding.
2.
All of these things promote linear(线性的)thinking while the idea of mind mapping is to think creatively and in anon-linear manner. There will be plenty of time for polishing the information later on. But at this stage, the most important thing is to get every possibility into the mind map that may be the key to your knowledge of a topic.
Write down key ideas
Some students find that using capital letters encourages them to get down only the key points. 3..You may, however, wish to write down some explanatory notes in lower cases. Some students do this when they revisit the mind map at a later date while others write such things as assessment criteria in this way.
Put the main idea in the center
Most students find it useful to turn their page on the side and do a mind map in “landscape” style. They put the main idea or topic in the middle of the page. 4..
Leave lots of space
5..After the initial drawing of the mind map you may wish to highlight things, add related information or questions right up.
A.Capitals are also easier to read in a diagram
B.Make a list all your ideas you need
C.This helps them assess the related information
D.Draw quickly without pausing, judging or editing
E.This gives the maximum space for other ideas to radiate
F.Some most useful mind maps are those adds over a period of time
G.These relationships may be important in understanding new information
