Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional(专业的) pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

He Wei is a 13-year-old student from No. 1 junior high school of Changsha. Last month, he went to New York to visit his aunt and uncle. He wanted to buy a toy robot for his little cousin, (1)but he found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. Though many toys were American brands, they were made in China. In fact, toys are not the only things made in China. He wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes, but he had to visit five or six shops before finding a pair made in America. So in America, people can hardly avoid buying products made in China, because China is good at making everyday things, such as football, handbags, pet food, mobile phones and so on. (2)我们为此感到骄傲!However, we hope that in the future, China will also get better at making high—technology products than now.
根据短文内容用简要答语回答下面三个问题。
1.How old is He Wei now?
