How to Boost Your Memory
Would you like to improve your memory? To start with, it is important to understand how memory works.
There are two main kinds of memory: short‑term memory and long‑term memory. Short‑term memory helps you remember things that you may only need for a short time, like phone numbers when you need to make a phone call. Long‑term memory is the ability to remember things for days, years, or even a lifetime. So the real question is: How do you make sure what you learn enters your long‑term memory? By using some clever memory techniques and leading a healthy life, you will see some great results. Let’s take a look.
First, pay attention. However, you might fail to remember all the details. So, try taking notes and writing down key points. After all, it is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage.
Second, use it or lose it. The more you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember it. However, you should not wear out your brain. Try studying for 40 minutes, and then take a break. You can also review information by discussing it with others or by teaching others.
A third way is to make use of senses. Create images by using tables, graphs, and mind maps to organize information. You can also create a story with information and view it in your mind like a film. In addition, make use of your other senses. For example, listening to recorded information can be very effective.
Last but not least, boost your memory by staying healthy.
Sleep well. While you sleep, your brain organizes your memories. Bad sleep makes it harder for new information to enter your long‑term memory.
Eat well. Your brain needs food like an engine needs fuel. Healthy food and drink will help your brain work much better.
Exercise. A healthy and active body boosts both your memory and your mind.
Many more memory techniques can be found in books or online. Try some different methods to see which ones work best for you. You are sure to improve your memory!
你想提高记忆力吗?首先,了解记忆的工作原理很重要。
记忆主要有两种:短期记忆和长期记忆。短期记忆帮助你记住可能只需短时记住的东西,比如打电话时需要记的号码。长期记忆是记住事情几天、几年甚至一辈子的能力。所以真正的问题是:如何确保你学到的东西进入长期记忆?通过使用一些巧妙的记忆技巧并保持健康的生活方式,你会看到很好的效果。我们来了解一下。
第一,集中注意力。不过你可能记不住所有细节。所以试着做笔记,记下关键点。毕竟记住概括比记住段落中的每个词更容易。
第二,要么使用它,要么失去它。你复习所学的次数越多,就越可能记住它。但你不应该让大脑过度疲劳。试着学习40分钟,然后休息一下。你也可以通过与他人讨论或教别人来复习信息。
第三种方法是利用感官。用表格、图表和思维导图来组织信息,形成图像。你也可以用信息编一个故事,像放电影一样在脑海中观看。此外,利用你的其他感官。例如,听录音信息可能非常有效。
最后但同样重要的是,通过保持健康来提高记忆力。
睡好觉:睡觉时大脑会整理记忆。睡眠不好会使新信息更难进入长期记忆。
吃好:大脑需要食物,就像发动机需要燃料。健康的食物和饮料会让大脑工作得更好。
锻炼:健康活跃的身体能促进记忆和思维。
更多的记忆技巧可以在书籍或网上找到。尝试不同的方法,看看哪些最适合你。你一定会提高记忆力!

二.阅读理解
Have you noticed that people always say the music from their younger years is the best compared to other times? This may be due to something that can be called the “memory bump (记忆隆起)”.
The memory bump means that our memories from 10 to 30 years old are especially strong. This period heavily influences our favorite books, films, sports stars, and especially music. This is because musical memories are stored in a “safe” area of the brain. The part is more protected against age-related (与年龄相关的) conditions. As a result, the music we listen to during these years usually has a lasting influence on our lives.
More importantly, music is remembered more easily. If we look at an artwork or something, we can look at it and leave. But we won’t forget music.
Music from our younger years creates strong emotional bonds (情感纽带), mixing happy and sad feelings when we listen to it. When the songs are related to our experiences, memories of those experiences will come back as we listen to the songs again.
Sometimes, with a change in experiences, the sadness you felt before when listening to a song can later turn into joy. This can explain why listening to something from a tougher time in your younger life can bring a sense of relief (宽慰感) now.
11.When does the memory bump talk about in our life?
A.From 5 to 10 years old. B.From 8 to 15 years old.
C.From 10 to 25 years old. D.From 10 to 30 years old.
12.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Music is remembered more easily. B.Music is easy to learn.
C.Music is forgotten easily. D.Music is a kind of art.
13.What is important to our emotional bonds according to the text?
A.Age. B.Music. C.Hobby. D.Sport.
14.What does the underlined word “tougher” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.More difficult. B.Better. C.More comfortable. D.Farther.
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.Life and Feeling B.Reading and Experience
C.Music and Memory D.Music and Health
三.语法填空
根据短文,在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式,每空一词。
We each have a memory. That’s why we can remember things for a long time. Some people have a very good memory and they can 16 (easy) learn many things by heart. But others can only remember 17 (thing) when they say or do them again and again.
A good memory 18 (help) one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is 19 small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them, and then he learns to speak. For example, some children are living 20 their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak the two languages every day.
As for those children who live in 21 (they) home country, they have no chance (机会) to learn any two or more languages easily. They are not 22 (live) in a foreign language environment. In school it is not easy 23 (learning) a foreign language as well. That’s 24 the students have little time for it and they have to learn a large number of other subjects, too.
Our memory can get 25 (good) if we do more exercises. Do you want to learn a foreign language well? If so, you must do a lot of listening and speaking.
四.任务型阅读
What’s the fastest and most effective (有效的) way to learn? What’s the secret to remembering what you learn?
The “learning pyramid (金字塔)” suggests that most students only remember 5% from lectures (讲授). They remember 10% of what they read from textbooks, but get nearly 90% of what they learn by teaching others.
The most common form of teaching others is Peer Tutoring (同伴辅导). It is a really fun and helpful way to learn. It means that we teach each other and help each other. To do peer tutoring, we can take turns being the teacher. The teacher explains a subject, and the student tries to understand it. If the student doesn’t get it right away, the teacher helps them understand it. It’s important to ask questions and give positive feedback (积极反馈) to each other.
Peer tutoring is really good for our memory by making us think deeply. When we teach others, we have to think about it really hard to make sure we explain it right. And when others teach us, we need to think carefully and try to understand what they’re saying. This helps us learn better.
So if you’re looking for a way to make learning more fun and effective, try peer tutoring! You’ll be surprised at how much you can learn from each other.
根据短文内容回答问题。
26.According to “learning pyramid”, which is the least effective, learning from lectures or learning from discussion?
27.In the practice of peer tutoring, what role can we take turns to play?
28.How can peer tutoring improve our memory?
29.Do you like learning by teaching others? Why or why not?

How to Boost Your Memory
Would you like to improve your memory? To start with, it is important to understand how memory works.
There are two main kinds of memory: short‑term memory and long‑term memory. Short‑term memory helps you remember things that you may only need for a short time, like phone numbers when you need to make a phone call. Long‑term memory is the ability to remember things for days, years, or even a lifetime. So the real question is: How do you make sure what you learn enters your long‑term memory? By using some clever memory techniques and leading a healthy life, you will see some great results. Let’s take a look.
First, pay attention. However, you might fail to remember all the details. So, try taking notes and writing down key points. After all, it is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage.
Second, use it or lose it. The more you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember it. However, you should not wear out your brain. Try studying for 40 minutes, and then take a break. You can also review information by discussing it with others or by teaching others.
A third way is to make use of senses. Create images by using tables, graphs, and mind maps to organize information. You can also create a story with information and view it in your mind like a film. In addition, make use of your other senses. For example, listening to recorded information can be very effective.
Last but not least, boost your memory by staying healthy.
Sleep well. While you sleep, your brain organizes your memories. Bad sleep makes it harder for new information to enter your long‑term memory.
Eat well. Your brain needs food like an engine needs fuel. Healthy food and drink will help your brain work much better.
Exercise. A healthy and active body boosts both your memory and your mind.
Many more memory techniques can be found in books or online. Try some different methods to see which ones work best for you. You are sure to improve your memory!
你想提高记忆力吗?首先,了解记忆的工作原理很重要。
记忆主要有两种:短期记忆和长期记忆。短期记忆帮助你记住可能只需短时记住的东西,比如打电话时需要记的号码。长期记忆是记住事情几天、几年甚至一辈子的能力。所以真正的问题是:如何确保你学到的东西进入长期记忆?通过使用一些巧妙的记忆技巧并保持健康的生活方式,你会看到很好的效果。我们来了解一下。
第一,集中注意力。不过你可能记不住所有细节。所以试着做笔记,记下关键点。毕竟记住概括比记住段落中的每个词更容易。
第二,要么使用它,要么失去它。你复习所学的次数越多,就越可能记住它。但你不应该让大脑过度疲劳。试着学习40分钟,然后休息一下。你也可以通过与他人讨论或教别人来复习信息。
第三种方法是利用感官。用表格、图表和思维导图来组织信息,形成图像。你也可以用信息编一个故事,像放电影一样在脑海中观看。此外,利用你的其他感官。例如,听录音信息可能非常有效。
最后但同样重要的是,通过保持健康来提高记忆力。
睡好觉:睡觉时大脑会整理记忆。睡眠不好会使新信息更难进入长期记忆。
吃好:大脑需要食物,就像发动机需要燃料。健康的食物和饮料会让大脑工作得更好。
锻炼:健康活跃的身体能促进记忆和思维。
更多的记忆技巧可以在书籍或网上找到。尝试不同的方法,看看哪些最适合你。你一定会提高记忆力!

二.阅读理解
Have you noticed that people always say the music from their younger years is the best compared to other times? This may be due to something that can be called the “memory bump (记忆隆起)”.
The memory bump means that our memories from 10 to 30 years old are especially strong. This period heavily influences our favorite books, films, sports stars, and especially music. This is because musical memories are stored in a “safe” area of the brain. The part is more protected against age-related (与年龄相关的) conditions. As a result, the music we listen to during these years usually has a lasting influence on our lives.
More importantly, music is remembered more easily. If we look at an artwork or something, we can look at it and leave. But we won’t forget music.
Music from our younger years creates strong emotional bonds (情感纽带), mixing happy and sad feelings when we listen to it. When the songs are related to our experiences, memories of those experiences will come back as we listen to the songs again.
Sometimes, with a change in experiences, the sadness you felt before when listening to a song can later turn into joy. This can explain why listening to something from a tougher time in your younger life can bring a sense of relief (宽慰感) now.
11.When does the memory bump talk about in our life?
A.From 5 to 10 years old. B.From 8 to 15 years old.
C.From 10 to 25 years old. D.From 10 to 30 years old.
12.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Music is remembered more easily. B.Music is easy to learn.
C.Music is forgotten easily. D.Music is a kind of art.
13.What is important to our emotional bonds according to the text?
A.Age. B.Music. C.Hobby. D.Sport.
14.What does the underlined word “tougher” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.More difficult. B.Better. C.More comfortable. D.Farther.
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.Life and Feeling B.Reading and Experience
C.Music and Memory D.Music and Health
【答案】11.D 12.A 13.B 14.A 15.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“记忆隆起”现象及其与音乐记忆的关联,解释了为何青少年时期的音乐能产生持久影响并唤起强烈情感。
【详解】11.第二段指出“The memory bump means that our memories from 10 to 30 years old are especially strong”,因此记忆隆起指的是10到30岁这一阶段。
12.第三段首句指出“More importantly, music is remembered more easily”,本段剩余部分通过对比艺术品和音乐进一步阐述这一观点,因此第三段的主旨是音乐更容易被记住。
13.第四段指出“Music from our younger years creates strong emotional bonds”,因此情感纽带的关键因素是音乐。
14. 第五段指出“the sadness you felt before when listening to a song can later turn into joy”,说明年轻时听歌时曾感到悲伤,因此“a tougher time”指的是更艰难、更困难的时期,故“tougher”意为“更困难的”。
15. 全文围绕音乐与记忆的关系展开,解释了记忆隆起如何使青少年时期的音乐记忆更深刻、更具情感影响力,因此最佳标题是“音乐与记忆”。
三.语法填空
根据短文,在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式,每空一词。
We each have a memory. That’s why we can remember things for a long time. Some people have a very good memory and they can 16 (easy) learn many things by heart. But others can only remember 17 (thing) when they say or do them again and again.
A good memory 18 (help) one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is 19 small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them, and then he learns to speak. For example, some children are living 20 their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak the two languages every day.
As for those children who live in 21 (they) home country, they have no chance (机会) to learn any two or more languages easily. They are not 22 (live) in a foreign language environment. In school it is not easy 23 (learning) a foreign language as well. That’s 24 the students have little time for it and they have to learn a large number of other subjects, too.
Our memory can get 25 (good) if we do more exercises. Do you want to learn a foreign language well? If so, you must do a lot of listening and speaking.
【答案】16.easily 17.things 18.helps 19.a 20.with 21.their 22.living 23.to learn 24.because 25.better
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了记忆力与学习语言的关系,并介绍了一些生活在国外的孩子能轻松地学会两种语言的原因;文章告诉我们,记忆力是可以通过练习来提高的。
16.句意:有些人有很好的记忆力,他们可以很容易地记住很多东西。分析句子结构可知,此处应用形容词easy的副词形式easily“容易地”修饰动词learn,在句中作状语。故填easily。
17.句意:但有些人只有在反复说或反复做的时候才能记住。分析句子结构可知,此处应用可数名词thing“东西”的复数形式things表泛指。故填things。
18.句意:好的记忆力有助于学好一门语言。句子时态为一般现在时,主语“A good memory”为第三人称单数,谓语动词应用三单形式helps。故填helps。
19.句意:每个人都在小时候学习自己的语言。根据“when he is … small child”可知,此处是指当他是一个小孩时,应用不定冠词表泛指,且small是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用a修饰。故填a。
20.句意:例如,一些孩子和他们的父母住在国外。根据下文“they hear, remember and speak the two languages every day”可知,此处是指与父母一起生活在国外;考查with“和……一起”,介词,符合语境。故填with。
21.句意:至于那些生活在自己国家的孩子,他们没有机会轻松地学习任何两种或两种以上的语言。根据空后“home country”可知,此处应用人称代词they的形容词性物主代词their“他们的”,在句中作定语。故填their。
22.句意:他们不是生活在外语环境中。根据上文中“some children are living … their parents in foreign countries”可知,此处考查现在进行时,其结构为be doing,空前有“are”,这里应用动词live的现在分词形式living。故填living。
23.句意:在学校学习一门外语也不容易。分析句子结构可知,此处考查It’s adj. to do sth.“做某事……”,固定句型,其中it为形式主语,动词不定式为真正的主语;应将learning改为to learn。故填to learn。
24.句意:那是因为学生几乎没有时间,而且他们还要学习大量的其他科目。根据“the students have little time for it and they have to learn a large number of other subjects, too”可知,此处是解释学生在学校不容易学好外语的原因;考查because“因为”,连词,在句中引导表语从句。故填because。
25.句意:如果我们多做练习,我们的记忆力会变得更好。根据“we do more exercises”可知,此处是指记忆力会变得更好,应用形容词good的比较级形式better“更好的”作系动词get的表语。故填better。
四.任务型阅读
What’s the fastest and most effective (有效的) way to learn? What’s the secret to remembering what you learn?
The “learning pyramid (金字塔)” suggests that most students only remember 5% from lectures (讲授). They remember 10% of what they read from textbooks, but get nearly 90% of what they learn by teaching others.
The most common form of teaching others is Peer Tutoring (同伴辅导). It is a really fun and helpful way to learn. It means that we teach each other and help each other. To do peer tutoring, we can take turns being the teacher. The teacher explains a subject, and the student tries to understand it. If the student doesn’t get it right away, the teacher helps them understand it. It’s important to ask questions and give positive feedback (积极反馈) to each other.
Peer tutoring is really good for our memory by making us think deeply. When we teach others, we have to think about it really hard to make sure we explain it right. And when others teach us, we need to think carefully and try to understand what they’re saying. This helps us learn better.
So if you’re looking for a way to make learning more fun and effective, try peer tutoring! You’ll be surprised at how much you can learn from each other.
根据短文内容回答问题。
26.According to “learning pyramid”, which is the least effective, learning from lectures or learning from discussion?
27.In the practice of peer tutoring, what role can we take turns to play?
28.How can peer tutoring improve our memory?
29.Do you like learning by teaching others? Why or why not?
【答案】26.Learning from lectures. 27.The teacher./ We can take turns to play the teacher./ We can take turns to play the role of the teacher. 28.By making us think deeply. 29.Yes, I do. Because it helps me understand the knowledge better and makes learning more interesting./ No. I don’t. Because I’m a little shy and afraid of making mistakes when teaching others.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了“学习金字塔”理论以及同伴辅导(Peer Tutoring)的学习方法。
【详解】26.根据“The ‘learning pyramid (金字塔)’ suggests that most students only remember 5% from lectures (讲授). They remember 10% of what they read from textbooks, but get nearly 90% of what they learn by teaching others.”可知,从讲授中学习的记忆效果最差,故填Learning from lectures.
27.根据“To do peer tutoring, we can take turns being the teacher”可知,在同伴辅导中我们可以轮流扮演教师的角色,故填The teacher./ We can take turns to play the teacher./ We can take turns to play the role of the teacher.
28.根据“Peer tutoring is really good for our memory by making us think deeply”可知,同伴辅导通过让我们深入思考来提升记忆力,故填By making us think deeply.
29.开放性问题,言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I do. Because it helps me understand the knowledge better and makes learning more interesting./ No. I don’t. Because I’m a little shy and afraid of making mistakes when teaching others.
