Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17, he travelled along the Silk Road with his father, who wanted to trade with the Chinese. Finally, they arrived in Beijing. They were guests at the Emperor's Palace. Marco was very clever and could speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his court(宫殿) and sent him to do many important jobs all over the country.

Marco was amazed by how beautiful China was. He was impressed by Beijing and the Emperor's Palace, especially the Summer Palace which was described as “The greatest palace that I've ever seen”. The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so big that it could easily hold 6，000 people for dinner.

Marco was also attracted(吸引) by the inventions and developments in China which couldn't be found in Europe at that time, Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets. In Europe, people paid for goods(货物) with gold and silver. He could not understand how people paid for food and valuable things with paper! He was also puzzled by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat. The black stones were coal, but Marco had never seen coal before!

After he served the Emperor for 17 years, in 1291, Marco returned to Italy. He was a very wealthy man then. A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco told him in a book called The Description of the World, which became one of the best­selling books in Europe.

People enjoyed the book, but many of them thought that Marco's stories about China were too fantastic to be true. However, Marco always stood by his tales. Just before he died, aged 70, Marco was asked the question. “Was it all true？” And this was his answer, “I have only told a half what I saw！”

Some people seem to have unusual memories, Zheng Aiqiang, a“memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2，660 numbers in just one hour!

You would think people like him must have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from America and Holland, the brain structure(结构) of ordinary people and 23 of the world's leading memory athletes show no difference.

Good memories can be trained. New research in the magazine Neuron suggests that a person will get a super memory with just six weeks of hard training.

Researchers found that a technique(技巧) called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.

By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain's memory networks. You can link(关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be the handle on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.

In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 nouns. At the beginning, they could only remember 26 words, but when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.

“Not everyone can become a memory winner. But everyone using the technique can improve his memory greatly，” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.
