Andy Pope,a police community support officer for West Midlands Police,in the UK,has come to be known as a memory policeman for his surprising memory,which has helped him successfully recognize over 850 suspects（嫌疑犯）in the last four years.

Every day,Pope arrives at work half an hour early,opens his computer,and scans the pictures of suspects in his computer.He has been doing it even since he joined the West Midlands Police in 2013,and as his brain stores more faces,hrs record of recognizing bad guys keeps getting better.His skill has made him special,and when policemen use up all other possible ways trying to put a name to a suspect's face,they tum to him.

"If you look at a picture enough times,there is usually something that sticks in the mind.Maybe I can't remember what it is at the time,but when I see the person in the flesh,it causes that recognition,"Pope says.He once recognized a robber whose photo he had looked at a year before,and another from a CCTV video,by a tiny mole（痣）on his face.

Andy Pope first attracted the attention of the media in 2017 after recognizing about 250 suspects.But according to a recent ITV report,Pope's record has improved in the last four years.

"I thought I was just normal until inspector Morris told me I was recognizing more people than anyone else," Pope told The Telegraph in 2017."I don't know whether I have a photographic memory.My wife has to deal with things like birthdays.When it comes to remembering dates,I'm useless."

The sleepover（通宵派对）is so common in America.Usually,it reminds us of images of girls in clean nightclothes,having pillow fights,doing makeup and gossiping.I'll say this now:most sleepovers are like that,but mine usually aren't.I've never been that girl as a child,so I have never really found doing makeup interesting,but there are some ways of sleepovers that stay the same.Let's take a closer look.

When it gets to be past one o'clock in the morning,most of the girls are sleepy already but we usually keep doing whatever we are doing.Most of us end up falling asleep at around 5.

The sleepover is a great experience for girls.While the activities are different,the feelings are still the same.We all experience happiness and excitement.Sleepovers are fun because we get to be with our friends,which is the most important thing.

You've probably heard of sheepdogs that guard sheep.But on a small island off the coast of Australia,these specially trained little dogs protect fairy penguins from foxes.About 800 little blue penguins,once nested on Australia's Middle Island.They are the smallest species of penguin in the world.By 2015,there were fewer than 10 left on the island.

The problem started when people brought red foxes to Australia in the 1800s.The foxes made their way to Middle Island and began killing off penguins and other native wildlife.Local officials wondered what could be done.

In 2014,a local farmer named Allan Marsh had an idea.He advised training Maremma sheepdogs to protect the penguins.At that time,Marsh was using the dogs on his farm to guard his chickens from foxes.At first,local officials said no to the plan because they didn't think it would work.But they changed their minds when the penguins had almost completely disappeared."The powers wouldn't listen to me until it got down to six penguins,"Marsh told The New York Times.

The first sheepdog went to work on Middle Island in 2016,and dogs have been on duty ever since.The dogs bark at and go after foxes to frighten them away.Thanks to the sheepdogs,the number of fairy penguins on Middle Island has increased.Today,close to 200 penguins live on the island.In fact,officials report that no penguin has been killed since the dogs were on the job.
