The boy with the increrible brain

The story talked about a man who has good memories. His name is Daniel. He works with numbers fast. He had had a test about his brian. He can read more 20000 numbers of Pi about 5 hour with exactly any small minute numbers, a fastest learner new language, with only one week he can pronuounced like a local person, which normal person who has good memory still make 9 mistakes. He had an accident when he was young. His brain fixed new.However, Daniel is not only savants in the world. there are some another people have special abilities. For instance, Orlando, a black guy has ability remember names of the days in the week and the days that some acidents happen. Or Kim, a man can remember everything he's had read, he only need to used 20 seconds to read a page and can remmeber them easily. The scientics are discover how did their brain work. I wish i would have a brain like them.

Crime

In 1992, 400 prisons in whole the country, and now the prisons are more than 2000.Some of them is only 12 years old. American's law for juvenile is considered as strictest law in the world. It doesn't give teenagers the second chance. In 2006, Human Right Committee ask the US explain about that. Prisoners' relatives are very sad and ask forgiveness for them. The prisoners also feel stressed. I think that parents and school have to connect together closely to manage thier childrenavoid the crime. They always have to listen to their childrens' confidences and talk to their children much more.

Asteriod



This story was told by Neil. The asteriod might hit the earth in 2029. Asteriod is used to indicate a diverse group of small celestial bodies in the solar system that orbit around the sun. Sisty_five million ago, an asteriod hit the earth and put the end to dinosaurs. Now, when the solar system, which the sun is in the middle and the starts go around by orbit, get problem. It means that the start once day hit together and is broken. Pieces from that accident will go to the earth and maybe make another 100 nuclear bombs at the same time disaster for human being.The scientists predicted that in Friday, 13th April, 2029, a asteroid named 99942 April will crash the earth. But NASA proved that it will not hit to the earth in 2029. It will hit straight to the earth in 2036 if it pass to the key hole. Its power equal 100 nuclear bombs at the same time and will create a hole with the measurement about 60-100 miles in the surface of the earth.NASA forecast that it will hit to the Pacific ocean and create a significant flood. The scientists show us 2 ways to protect our life :
+ Using nuclear weapons to deflect the asteroid's orbit or making them slow enough to miss the earth.
+Use a gravity machine to deflect it out of the earth.
I hope the scientists can find out good ways to control asteriod and protect our life.

WASHINGTON - America’s population is on track to hit 300 million on Tuesday morning, and it’s causing a stir among environmentalists.
People in the United States are consuming more than ever — more food, more energy, more natural resources. Open spaces are shrinking and traffic in many areas is dreadful.
But some experts argue that population growth only partly explains America’s growing consumption. Just as important, they say, is where people live, what they drive and how far they travel to work.11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. are included in official population estimates, though many demographers believe they are undercounted.Fifty percent increase in 39 yearsThe population reached its last milestone, 200 million, in 1967. That translates into a 50 percent increase in 39 years.
During the same period, the number of households nearly doubled, the number motor vehicles more than doubled and the miles driven in those vehicles nearly tripled.

The U.S. is the third largest country in the world, behind China and India. The U.S. is the fastest growing of the industrialized nations, adding about 2.8 million people a year, or just under 1 percent. India is growing faster but the United Nations considers it to be a less developed country.
About 40 percent of U.S. population growth comes from immigration, both legal and illegal, according to the Census Bureau. The rest comes from births outnumbering deaths.
