A few people are born with amazing memories, but most people need to improve their memories by practising. Here are some secrets about memories. We can still remember things that happened in our childhood(童年)but not those from last week. In fact, if the things have strong connections(联系)with our feelings in our mind, we can remember them longer. When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell us the interesting or funny stories from our childhood again and again. As a result, we remember them much better. It’s natural for common people to forget the new words which they learnt yesterday. Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting curve. According to him, the quickest memory loss happens during the first two days after we learn something. That means going over what we’ve learnt during this time can help us to remember the information very well. A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn’t mean his or her memory is getting worse. Our memory reaches the top at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute. But after this age, the brain starts to get smaller. By middle age, our memory is much worse than when we were young. 1. Why is it easier to remember things in our childhood? a. Because they were special. b. Because we got strong feelings from them. c. Because they were helpful. d. Because we heard them many times. A. ad B. bd C. ac D. bc 2. Which is the right picture for Hermann Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve? 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. A person has his or her best memory at the age of 25. B. A fifteen-year-old’s memory is worse than a middle-aged man’s. C. A person’s memory gets worse only because the brain gets smaller. D. A child usually remembers over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute. 4. How can we better remember newly learned information? A. By waiting for a week before reviewing. B. By ignoring it during the first two days. C. By reviewing it soon after learning. D. By only learning through books. 5. Which statement about memory and age is TRUE? A. Teenagers have the worst memory. B. Memory peaks at age 15 and declines rapidly. C. At age 25, people can remember over 12,000 pieces of information per minute. D. Middle-aged people have better memory than young adults. 七、短文填空 prize, give, watch, because, beautiful, but, choose, bad, act, talent, wonder, see There are four people in my family—my dad, my mum, my younger brother and me.
