Even scientists who have been studying memory for many years say that they are stilltrying to find out what it is/Ve do know that memory is not just one thing stored (存储) somewhere in the hrain (大脑). Memory is made up of simall pieces of information stored all over the brain. The human brain is very small and light. But it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) that our body takes in. We can't think well if our brain isn't getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something! Why do you forget things sometimes? The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, if Ts because you didn't record (记录) the names when you heard them. No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some ways: ·When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with you friend. It will help you remember the information. ·Don't over-train your brain. When you've remembered a list of new vocabulary, stop studying. It's better to study a lot of material (材料) for a short time than a small part of material for a lot of time! But remember: you do have to practise your new vocabulary as soon as possible! ·If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It's easie to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller bits: 198-756-430-387. ·If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can't, don't get angry. Relax when you study! Try to enjoy yourself. You are learning new things every minute. You willremember better if you are happy and relaxed. In short, none of (没有一个) the ways can make your memory 10o% perfect, but all of them are helpful. 36. Where is memory stored in your brain? A. In the left brain. B. All over the brain. C. In the right brain D. Some parts of the brain. /5 2024-2025学年度第一学期 北京市第十五中 班级: 姓名 37. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage? A. We can make our memory 10o% perfect. B.

After the first man landed on the moon m 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2ooo.

Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal (等同于) success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture. As a society, we cheer for the champion(冠军). Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process (过程), and particularly wher the end result is a win, usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug We need to redefine (重新定 义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can't plar our way to success. Back to 199o, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women's Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other "successful" coaches had done. So I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to find out how to win. A.fter putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I realized that I needed to support our team members as whole human beings, not just players who won It is so much easier to give orders than to actually find out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better. And the motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let's think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we calla win. win. A. shows the result B. does some harm 学八年级英语 期中试卷(时间:100分钟) C. catches little attention D. decides the success :2. The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show A. it was difficult to be a coach B. how his team won championships C. why his team asked him for a meeting D. it's better to motivate others than to give orders 53. Which of the following is a real success in life? A. A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents B. A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C. A coach who respects his members even though the team didn't win D. A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 54. The writer probably agrees that A. we shouldn't plan for the end result B. winning doesn't always mean success C. a good coach often wants his team to win D. it's time for us fo change the way we live
