THE SECRETS OF YOUR MEMORY
Memory expert Jemima Gryaznov answers some of the most common questions about memory.
1 Why can I remember events in my childhood①but not[1] what happened last week?
We remember things that have strong connections in our mind,especially emotional② connections.Childhood memories are often very emotional.This is because when we experience things for the first time,we often have strong feelings of fear or excitement③.[2] Also,interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again.As a result④, we remember them much better,as retelling⑤ events helps fix experiences in our memories⑥.What can we learn from all this?When remembering something new,try to connect it to our emotions.It is important to connect it with what we already know.Also,we can try to retell what we have learnt to a few others.

[1]画线部分省略了与前文重复的部分,完整形式应为but I can not remember。表示并列或比较时,常采用省略结构以简化句子。
[2]画线部分为较为复杂的主从复合句。because引导表语从句,其中when引导时间状语从句。
2 Do some people really have a photographic⑦ memory?
A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture,a book or an event many years later,but no one has proved⑧ that there are people who really have photographic memories.Yet,there are some people who do have [3]amazing memories.For example,Daniel Tammet can remember the first 22,514 digits⑨ of pi (π) and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed⑩ picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter⑪ .They are both good at remembering particular things for a limited time.As most of us do not have amazing memories like them,when memorising detailed learning materials,we simply need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn.Asking questions about what we learn also helps with memorisation.Another effective technique to remember things is to group similar ideas or information together so that they can be easily connected to things that are already known.
[3]强调谓语动词时,可用“do/does/did+动词原形”,表示“确实,务必”。
3 Why do I forget the new words that I learnt yesterday?
Don’t worry.This is natural for many people.In 1885,Hermann Ebbinghaus published⑫ a book called Memory and presented a famous forgetting curve⑬.According to him,the sharpest⑭ loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning.This means timely⑮ review during this period,with a few revisits⑯ to what is learnt,can significantly⑰ help us to remember the information.Therefore,one of the golden rules to increase how much we remember is to review the material periodically,especially during the first day after learning.This “spaced review”soon after learning helps build stronger memories and it is more effective than waiting to review everything before exams.

4 I’m 16,but I sometimes forget things.Is my memory getting worse?
Definitely not.Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25.At that point,we can remember up to⑱ 200 pieces of information in a second.After this age,however,the brain starts to get smaller.By the age of 40,we lose 10,000 brain cells every day.By middle age,our memory is significantly worse than when we were young.So take it easy.You are at a good age in terms of your memory.Make good use of it!

你记忆的秘密
记忆专家杰迈玛·格里耶兹诺夫回答了一些关于记忆的最常见的问题。
1为什么我记得童年时期的一些事却不记得上周发生的事情?
我们会记住头脑中有较强关联的事情,特别是情感联系。童年记忆往往非常感性。这是因为我们第一次经历事物时,常常会产生强烈的恐惧感或兴奋感。另外,我们童年时期有趣或好笑的故事总是讲了又讲。因此,我们能更好地记住这些经历,因为复述事件能加强我们对事件的印象。我们能从这一切中学到什么?记住新事物时,试着把它和我们的情感联系起来。把它和我们已经知道的联系起来是很重要的。此外,我们可以试着把我们学到的东西复述给其他人听。
2真的有人有照相记忆能力吗?
拥有照相记忆能力的人多年后仍然可以记住某一张图片、某本书或某个事件的每一个细节,但没有人能证明真的有人有照相记忆能力。然而,有些人的确记忆力惊人。例如,丹尼尔·塔梅可以记住圆周率的前22 514位数,而斯蒂芬·威尔夏可以坐直升飞机俯瞰一个城市,而后凭记忆画出这个城市的详细图片。他们都善于在有限的时间内记住特定的事物。因为我们大多数人都没有像他们那样惊人的记忆力,在记忆详细的学习材料时,我们只需要把注意力集中在重要的想法上并对于我们所学到了什么保持好奇心,对我们所学的内容提出问题也有助于记忆。另一个有效的记忆技巧是将相似的想法或信息组合在一起,这样就可以很容易地把它们和已知的东西联系在一起。
3为什么我会忘记昨天学的新词?
别担心。这对许多人来说是很正常的。1885年,赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯出版了《关于记忆》一书,提出了著名的遗忘曲线。根据他的说法,最显著的遗忘出现在学习之后的最初阶段。这意味着在这一阶段及时复习,多次回顾所学内容,可以极大地帮助我们记住这些内容。因此,增加我们记忆量的黄金法则之一是定期复习材料,尤其是在学习后的第一天。这种在学习后不久进行的“间隔复习”有助于建立更强的记忆,而且比等到考试前复习所有东西更有效。

4我16岁,但有时会忘记事情。我的记忆力是在变差吗?
当然不是。我们的记忆在25岁时达到顶峰。那时,我们可以在一秒钟内记住多达200条信息。然而,此后大脑就开始变小。到了40岁,我们每天会损失10 000个脑细胞。到了中年,我们的记忆力会明显比年轻的时候差。所以放轻松。就你的记忆力而言,你正处于一个很好的年龄,好好利用它!
