Passage 6
As an English learner, you may come across many new words every week. Are you having a hard time 1 all of them? Well, perhaps you can try out the Method of Loci.
“Loci” means “locations” in Latin (拉丁语). Users of the Method of Loci will create an 2 physical (物质的) space in their minds. They will then put words or numbers in certain locations within this space. As they walk through the space in their mind’s eye, they will be able to call to mind all the 3 it contains (包含). The Method of Loci works because human beings are good at remembering 4 , but not so good at remembering words, numbers, and lists.
You can try remembering the first 10 digits(数字) of π (3.141592653) using the Method of Loci. The first 5 is to imagine a home. The house number is 314. On the doorstep, there is one box. You pick it up and find that it has come from your 59-year-old uncle. Now, you open the door. There, you see 6 welcome mats(地毯). Six pairs of shoes have been placed on them. On the wall, there are five pegs (挂钩) with three coats hanging off them.
And what if you must remember a long 7 ? With the method of Loci, you might imagine exactly where all the items (eggs, milk, yoghurt, carrots, tofu, etc.) would go in the fridge after your shopping trip. While shopping, you can easily gather all the goods as you fill in the fridge in your 8 .
World record holders in memory competitions often say that anyone can learn and use the Method of Loci and become a “memory 9 ”. Are you 10 to try this method? Find out whether it can help you remember all the new words in your textbook!

Passage 6
As an English learner, you may come across many new words every week. Are you having a hard time 1 all of them? Well, perhaps you can try out the Method of Loci.
“Loci” means “locations” in Latin (拉丁语). Users of the Method of Loci will create an 2 physical (物质的) space in their minds. They will then put words or numbers in certain locations within this space. As they walk through the space in their mind’s eye, they will be able to call to mind all the 3 it contains (包含). The Method of Loci works because human beings are good at remembering 4 , but not so good at remembering words, numbers, and lists.
You can try remembering the first 10 digits(数字) of π (3.141592653) using the Method of Loci. The first 5 is to imagine a home. The house number is 314. On the doorstep, there is one box. You pick it up and find that it has come from your 59-year-old uncle. Now, you open the door. There, you see 6 welcome mats(地毯). Six pairs of shoes have been placed on them. On the wall, there are five pegs (挂钩) with three coats hanging off them.
And what if you must remember a long 7 ? With the method of Loci, you might imagine exactly where all the items (eggs, milk, yoghurt, carrots, tofu, etc.) would go in the fridge after your shopping trip. While shopping, you can easily gather all the goods as you fill in the fridge in your 8 .
World record holders in memory competitions often say that anyone can learn and use the Method of Loci and become a “memory 9 ”. Are you 10 to try this method? Find out whether it can help you remember all the new words in your textbook!
