Reviewing what you’ve learned regularly helps 5 short-term information into long-term information. You can make flashcards and go through them often. Exercise is also necessary for a strong memory.

Foods like fish can help brain work well. Eating a balanced diet gives your brain the 9 it needs. Finally, try to get enough sleep. Your brain processes and keeps information while you sleep.

So how can we improve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. This of course helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), but psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it can help you to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers (祈祷文) that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848. According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture, in your mind connected to a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them! For those studying large number of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to remember the information is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease (疾病), you would ask yourself questions like: “Do people get it from water?”, “What parts of the body does it influence?” and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent “passively” reading and re-reading notes. 1. Which of the following is true about repeating things according to the passage? A. It helps to remember things for long. B. It makes remembering things interesting. C. It helps short-term memory for sure. D. It makes remembering prayers effortlessly 2. The word “chunks” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”. A. groups B. turns C. details D. lines 3. How many ways of remembering things are mentioned in the passage? A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3. 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. Creating a picture is useful in learning math. B. Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly. C. Remembering long numbers is easy for people. D. Asking yourself questions helps improve your memory. 5. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To share some ways of improving memory. B. To recognize some memory problems. C. To explain some memory experiments. D. To complain that his memory is bad. B 阅读还原 There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.    1 Make yourself excited. You can do this by doing some new activities. Learning a new skill helps your brain to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind.   2 An excellent way to help improve your memory is to connect information with pictures.   3 Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful. Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps improve your memory. 4 When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well. 5 Keeping fit and normal health checks are also important—not just for improving your memory. A. It is important to make your memory active (活跃的). B. Try to remember as many things as possible. C. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep. D. Another important thing is to be free from worry. E. It will make it hard to remember things correctly. F. Try to see the pictures in your mind. $Unit 7 The secret of memory Section 1 Reading分层练习 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 一、翻译下面短语 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1._________________在……中发挥重要作用 2. _________________特意,保证做 3. _________________锻炼你的大脑 4. _________________演奏一件新乐器 5. _________________往往会；趋向于 6. _________________开动脑筋 7. _________________建立心理关联 8. _________________编造一个故事 9. _________________以便 10. _________________过着健康生活 11. _________________健康的饮食习惯 12. _________________保持良好的记忆力。 13. _________________而且，此外 14. _________________定期进行体育锻炼 15. _________________最后但同样重要的是 16. _________________大量的 17. _________________过度压力 18. _________________随着年龄增长而逐渐衰退。 19. _________________安排时间做某事 20. _________________也, 以及；还有 【答案】1.plays an important role in 2.Make a point of 3.exercise your brain 4.play a new instrument 5. tend to 6.work your brain 7.make mental connections to 8.make up a story 9.so that 10.live a healthy life 11.Healthy eating habits 12.maintain a good memory. 13.What’s more 14.regular physical exercise 15.Last but not least 16.plenty of 17.get too stressed 18.tends to decline with age. 19. make time to do sth. 20. as well as 二、单项选择 1.The teacher asked Tom to ______ the instructions again because some students didn’t catch them clearly.​ A. repeat B. forget C. create D. destroy​ 【答案】A​ 【解析】句意：老师让汤姆再重复一遍说明，因为有些学生没听清楚。A. repeat 重复；B. forget 忘记；C. create 创造；D. destroy 破坏。根据 “because some students didn’t catch them clearly”（因为有些学生没听清楚）可知，老师需要汤姆做的动作是 “重复” 说明，让学生能听清，故选 A。 2.

Life would be easier if we could remember things effortlessly. So how can we improve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. This of course helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), but psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it can help you to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers (祈祷文) that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848. According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture, in your mind connected to a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them! For those studying large number of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to remember the information is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease (疾病), you would ask yourself questions like: “Do people get it from water?”, “What parts of the body does it influence?” and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent “passively” reading and re-reading notes. 1. Which of the following is true about repeating things according to the passage? A. It helps to remember things for long. B. It makes remembering things interesting. C. It helps short-term memory for sure. D. It makes remembering prayers effortlessly 2. The word “chunks” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”. A. groups B. turns C. details D. lines 3. How many ways of remembering things are mentioned in the passage? A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3. 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. Creating a picture is useful in learning math. B. Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly. C. Remembering long numbers is easy for people. D. Asking yourself questions helps improve your memory. 5. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To share some ways of improving memory. B. To recognize some memory problems. C. To explain some memory experiments. D. To complain that his memory is bad. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4. D 5. A 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们的记忆力随着年龄的增加而日益衰退，故本文详细介绍了提高人的记忆力的方法。 1. 细节理解题。根据文中“Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. This of course helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), but psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it can help you to remember things for very long.”可知，重复事物确实有助于短期记忆。故选C。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.”可猜测出把它们分组之后，记忆它们就会变得容易得多，故下划线单词的意思应是“组”，与groups同义。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据文中“Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture, in your mind connected to a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. For those studying large number of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to remember the information is to ask yourself-lots of questions as you go along.”可知，文章提到了重复事情、在你的脑海里画一幅图画，把它和你想记住的单词联系起来、编造一个故事，包括你想记住的所有事情和边走边问自己很多问题共四种方法。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据文中“For those studying large number of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to remember the information is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along.”可推理出，问自己问题有助于提高记忆力。故选D。 5. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据文中“Life would be easier if we could remember things effortlessly. So how can we improve our memory?”可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是分享一些提高记忆力的方法。故选A。 B 阅读还原 There are many things you can do to improve your memory.
