Fashion trends (趋势) are around us, and can be exciting. A trend used to happen in a 20-year cycle, but the latest development of the Internet and clothing business has increasingly cut the length of the cycle short. Now, it seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months, but it still follows the same stages:

·A trend is usually first brought in during a big fashion show. Reporters, writers, and some other important people collect what they have learned in the show and predict a trend in the near future.

·Then the trend is talked about online and finally worn by famous people to make it better accepted, which leads to the rise of the trend.

·Once the trend becomes popular, it will go to the public soon. Large clothing companies and shops begin following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point.

·After that, ___________________. However, this is not always the end, as trends happen in broader cycles and most get popular again.

Trends can be a great way to try something new and test your style. A survey says some people enjoy following trends because they keep fashion exciting and provide fresh ideas. However, others may not think so, especially when a trend doesn't agree with how they feel about themselves. Trends can be fun, but sometimes also mean a waste of money because many simply see trends as brands (品牌). So, should we follow fashion trends?

Clearly, there's no right answer; whether to follow trends or not depends on how they go with your values, spending, and sense of self. It does not hurt to watch trend reports but never choose to follow them unless you really think they fit with your personal style.

Forgetting can really be harmful sometimes. You may spend time on things you've already done. Valuable chances may slip away just because you forget about them. In some situations, forgetting even lead to serious mistakes. But when you understand why you forget, you can take steps to prevent (预防) it.

Hermann Ebbinghaus was a German scientist studying the mind. He is most well-known for his research on the forgetting curve (遗忘曲线). He wanted to understand more about why we forget things and how to prevent it, so he did some research. He himself tried to remember some nonsense syllables (无意义音节), and finally made the forgetting curve.

The forgetting curve tells a relationship between memory retention (保留) and time after you learned something. It shows us that in 20 minutes, people forget about 41.8% of what they have learned, after 1 day, people forget about 66.3% of what they have learned, and after 31 days, people forget about 78.9% of what they have learned. In 20 minutes, people forget things fastest. As time goes by, people forget things much more slowly.

Although forgetting is a fact, there are many ways that we can remember more things for longer time. For example, you can review something in an active way with the help of tools such as flashcards or self-tests. Or you can take part in social interactions (互动) while reviewing your lessons. You can do hands-on experiments, solve real-world challenges, join online discussions, teach younger children what you have learned and work in small groups to solve problems and share knowledge.

Just as Confucius said, if a man keeps reviewing his old knowledge and learning the new, he may be a teacher of others. Everyone forgets and forgetting is a necessary part of life. After all, only by letting go of old information can we form new memories.
