Olympic Games
Every four years people all over the universe watch the Olympic Game. It is a time all kinds of people to unite in peace. Some of them join together to compete for gold medals. Millions of other people watch them on television.
Why do we have the Olympics? How did they begin? The first Olympic Game was in Greece in 776 B.C. There was only one event. People ran a race the length of the
stadium
The games last one day. Slowly people added more events. The Games were only for
Men and the women could not even watch them. Only reeks competed. They came from all parts of the Greek world.
The time of the games was a time of peace and the government let everyone travel safely. Kings competed against common people. Winners became national heroes.
The first modern games were in 1896 in Athens. The Greeks built a new stadium for the competition. Athletes from several countries competed. Then there were Olympics every four years in different cities in Europe and United States until1952. After that they were in Melbourne, Tokyo, Mexico city, and Mont real besides in Europe cities.
Each year there were athletes from more nations. The first winter Olympics were in 1924. The athletes competed in skiing and other winter sport. Today there must be Olympic Games every four years.
The games must have at least fifteen events, and they cannot last more than sixteen day. There is no age limit people of any age can compete. The competitors must not be professionals. They must be amateurs. The athletes compete for gold medals. The winners are still national heroes, as they were in the early Olympic Games in Greece.
In1956, Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon boycotted the games. They did not compete in the games because several countries took the Suez Canal from Egypt that year. Other countries boycotted the games in 1964 and 1976. In 1980 the united state and other countries boycotted the games in Moscow.
In 1984 the Soviet Union and the other countries boycotted the games in Los Angeles. How can the nation of the world solve this problem?
Maybe the games should be in Greece every year, where they begin. Then athletes from all over the world could compete without any boycotts.
Buy me;
About supermarket, dairy department.

In the name of ALLAH
Buy me
People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in supermarket? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
When you enter the supermarket, you see selves full of food. You walk in the aisles between the selves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it. You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.
Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of super market knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
The dairy department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different containers of low fat milk. One says "1 percent fat" on the container. The second says "99 percent fat free". The third says "low fat" in big letters and "1%" in small letters.
As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the same. However, in this store the three containers of milk cost three different amount of money. Maybe the customer will buy milk that costs the most.
Most of the food in the supermarket is very attractive. It all say "buy me" to the customers. The expensive meat says "buy me" as you walk by. The expensive milk container says "buy me. I have the less fat" the supermarket tells you what to buy.
Memory;
Long-term memory, short-term memory, How to learn any things
<**ادامه مطلب...**>
In the name of ALLAH
Memory
"Memorize these words". "Learn this spelling rule". "Do not forget the quiz tomorrow". You remember things every day, but how do you do it?
You find the telephone number in the phone book, dial it, and then forget it. This is your short-term memory. It lasts less than 30 seconds. (There are 60 seconds in a minute.) However, you do not look in the phone book for a friend"s number. You know it. This is your long-term memory. Your long-term memory is every thing that you remember.
Why do you forget something? What is the reason? You did not learn in it the beginning. This is the major reason for forgetting. For example, you meet some new people, and you forget their names. You hear the names, but you do not learn them. Then you forget them.
You can remember better. Here are some ideas.
1- Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. Practice the information. Say the information to yourself. Think about it. Spend time in it.
2- Over learn. After you learn some thing, study it some more. Learn it more than you need to. For example, when you know a list of new words, do not stop. Practice the words a few more time.
3- Be sure that you understand the information. It is difficult to memorize some thing you do not understand.
4- Do only one thing at a time. Study in a quiet place. You cannot listen to music or people and memorize at the same time.
5- Try to connect the new information with some thing you already know. For example, when you learn the name of kind food, think of a similar kind of food.
6- Divide the information into parts. Do not have more than seven parts learn one part and stop for a few minutes. Do not try to learn all the parts at the same time.
7- Make a picture on your mind. For example, maybe you see a new word. It is a kind of furniture. Make a picture on your mind of this furniture in a room. Remember what it looks like.
8- Try to relax when you study. Enjoy it. You cannot remember things when you are tired or unhappy.
Some people have a photographic memory. They see every thing like a picture. Later they can see the picture in their mind again and describe every thing in it. They can remember long lists of number and thousands of other things. Would you like to have a photographic memory?
