[2025辽宁大连质检]It is said that doing physical exercise (体育锻炼)
can make our brains work better, but we wanted to know if that was true.
Maybe it could be the answer to getting good grades at school.
To find out about it, we decided to make a memory test. We took 25
different things from around the house and covered them up with a towel. Next,
we asked eight of our friends to take a test. We took away the towel and gave
them one minute to look at the things.

When time was up, we covered the things again and asked them to write
down as many things as they could remember. Then we divided our friends into
two groups. One group sat down and played easy chess games. We called it
“TEAM SIT”.The other group went out for a few miles. We named it “TEAM
MOVE”.At the same time, we put new things in the test. After 10 minutes, both
teams took a second test with the new things.

We graded all the tests, giving one point for each right answer. Then we
watched how each team’s score changed. The TEAM SIT’s average (平均)
score went down by 2 points. The other team’s average score went up by 4
points. The difference was big. The team that exercised had better memory test
scores.
So next time, I might go out and take a run before I study for a test!

[2025广东深圳调研]Many people believe that goldfish only have a seven-
second memory, but Roy Stokes, a 15-year-old schoolboy from Australia has just
finished an experiment to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that
goldfish are smarter than we think.
“I don’t believe that they have a seven-second memory because animals need
their memories, so they can know where the food is,” he said.

He did the experiment in a small tank of goldfish.“I decided to get a red
logo and just feed them next to the logo. Every day I put the logo in and
dropped food around it,” he said.“At first they were a bit afraid of it, but by the
end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food
in.”
After leaving the goldfish alone for a week, Roy put the red logo in the
tank again.“They remembered perfectly well,” he said.“They were actually faster
than before.”

The goldfish showed that their brains not only could store information, but
also had the ability to get it back at a later date.
Colum Brown, a researcher in Sydney, has studied fish behaviour for more
than ten years. He says his studies show that fish are smart and that they know
how to avoid enemies (躲避敌人) and catch food like any other animal. As
an experienced expert, Colum thinks that Roy’s experiment is really good.

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I’m sorry to hear about your memory problems.Here are some
suggestions.First, don’t stay up late.Lack of sleep can harm your memory.Second,
never skip breakfast.It provides the energy your brain needs.And you should have
a healthy diet. Also, make time for sports.Exercise can stimulate blood to flow to
the brain.Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Balancing study
and rest is the key.
Hope these help!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
