A. Missing your family and the attention they all paid to you is a very usual thing to do. B. Living far from home，even for a short period of time，can be really hard at the beginning. C. Living on your own far from your family gives you a lot of experience of organizing your life. D.

Foreign people are kind to you and your classmates，and they understand the power of love. F. Living in a foreign country would mean learning how to accept another type of society and culture in your daily life. |
Living away from your country can be a really unforgettable experience. But at the same time，it has very important effects on your life.
The major effect，and also a very common one，is that once you start a regular life away from home，you miss everything.
Little things like sitting on a Sunday morning watching TV alone instead of having a nice chat with your mom make you realize how valuable your family really is.
Since you are living in a place with different customs and traditions from yours，you have to be able to develop yourself in conditions which you are not familiar with. This means making new friends，accepting different opinions，and catching every opportunity you have to go to new places.
The most significant （显著的） effect of living away from home is the independence that grows inside you. There is no one else to go to school，clean your room，and wash your clothes. Being independent will help you get over many difficulties.

In Britain，Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th，which is the following day after Christmas Day. However，strictly speaking，Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day，Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday，the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin （起源） of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages，when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land，a Christmas Box was placed by a priest （神父） on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the "Alms Box" placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers （做礼拜的人） put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas，and that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today，many businesses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating （捐赠） their time services and money to aid Food Banks，providing gifts for the poor，or helping families in need. Besides，spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
Memory loss （遗忘） is very common as people get old. A 10-year-long study of the elders in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is connected to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene （高危基因） for Alzheimer's （阿尔茨海默氏症）. Researchers followed 29，000 people aged at least 60 years for 10 years. About 50 percent of the participants were women.
At the beginning of the study in 2009，the researchers tested the participants' memory with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test （AVLT听觉词语学习测验）. They were also tested for the most common gene connected with Alzheimer's. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risky gene. The participants received tests in 2012，2014，2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups ， six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed：a healthy diet，regular physical exercise，active social contact，active cognitive activity，non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.
The results showed that the AVLT scores continuously decreased over the 10 years. But the highest test scores were in the group with good habits and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle. In a word，the participants with healthier lifestyles，even when they were risky gene carriers，had a slower rate of memory loss than the participants with unhealthy lifestyles.
The researchers said that they studied the relevance （相关性） between lifestyle factors and their effects for an entire 10 years and offered important information to protect the elders against memory loss. The results about the risky gene carriers are still positive because healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss，even though there is genetic risk.
