However, our hand gestures play 3 important role in helping us learn and remember! When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on (求助于) 4 methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary 5 , even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movements strengthens the memory of   6 meaning. This is mainly because gestures take away some of the work from learning, 7 our brains to focus on memorizing the vocabulary. Gesturing also 8 to put new vocabulary into context (语境) and makes it easier to remember. When people gesture, they mentally place themselves in situations 9 are memorable for them. For example, an individual will have an easier time remembering the word “walking” after connecting it 10 a personal memory of physical walking. 六、阅读还原。 Have you ever felt embarrassed because you forgot something important? Maybe you tried to introduce someone but forgot their name, or hid something and couldn’t remember where it was. Don’t worry. Most people have these moments. The good news is: memory can be improved! 1 First, stay calm. When you’re nervous about forgetting, you’re more likely to forget. 2 Being relaxed helps you focus better. Tell yourself, “I can remember this.” A calm mind works better. Second, think positively. If you keep saying, “My memory is bad,” your brain will believe it! 3 When you forget something, don’t blame yourself. Just say, “I’ll try to remember next time.“ Positive thoughts help your memory stay strong. Third, practice using your memory. The more you exercise your brain, the better it gets at remembering. For example, if you’re learning English, try to memorize new words every day. Or when you meet someone new, repeat their name in your mind a few times. 4 Fourth, connect new information with what you know. Our brains remember things better when they’re linked to something familiar. For example, if you need to remember to bring a book to school, imagine the book on your desk. Or if you have to catch a bus at 3 o’clock, picture the number “3” in your mind. 5 Forgetting happens to everyone, but you can train your memory to get better. Just stay relaxed, think positively, practice often, and make connections. Your memory will become a powerful tool! 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．Instead, be kind to yourself. B．Take a deep breath and relax. C．Small practices make a big difference. D．These links make memories stronger. E．Here are some simple tips to help you remember better. 七、阅读理解。 On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my son David’s middle school. He jumped onto the back seat and he asked me to help his study for his chemistry test. “Mom, I need to remember all the chemistry experiments. And I can hardly make it.” “You know, memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in exams if you work on trying to understand the knowledge.” David was open to my advice. it was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the chemistry experiments to me. Tonight, read the textbook. Prepare to teach.” Asking him to teach me was an unusual idea, but I made a decision to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the knowledge. On Tuesday afternoon, David sat down with his chemistry book facing me and said, “Okay Mum, let’s study.” I wanted him to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on him. So instead we started with me asking him some simple questions. He knew some but not others. When he didn’t know the answers, I encouraged him to check the book. He started checking things that didn’t make sense. And he was actively trying to test his understanding. I was happy to see it. He wasn’t memorizing; he was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped he would do. 1．Why did David ask his mother to help his study for his chemistry exam? A．Because he didn’t pass the chemistry test. B．Because he had trouble remembering the chemistry experiments. C．Because he knew little about the chemistry experiments. D．Because he couldn’t understand his teacher in class. 2．In the mother’s opinion, which was the best way to study? A．Memorizing. B．Testing. C．Questioning. D．Understanding. 3．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”. A．making him remember the knowledge B．asking him some simple questions C．asking him to teach me D．encouraging him to check the book 4．What does the writer mean by saying “I couldn’t be too hard on him.” in Paragraph 6? A．It was hard for me to understand David. B．It was hard for David to make me understand him. C．I should be strict with David. D．I should be patient with David. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．A Creative Mother B．Difficult experiments C．Learning from Teaching D．Preparing for Teaching 8、 完形填空。 “Don’t forget to study for the history test,” Mrs. Green said to the class. Julie closed her book and sighed (叹息). She is a good group leader and can organize all kinds of activities, 1 she was not good at history at all. The next day, she went to the library and wanted to understand all the historical facts and dates. But it was not 2 . Just then Julie 3 and found Maria sit nearby. 4 her book, there were some cards. Each card showed a colorful picture. Julia asked, “Are you studying history?” “Yes. This is 5 the way I study.” Maria said. “To memorize things, I have to be 6 . I like art and the pictures can help me remember facts more quickly.” “I see.” said Julie. An 7 came to her mind. When she organized activities, she made a plan for each step. Then she used a mind map to make these steps 8 with each other. “Hey, Maria.” said Julie. “How about this: I 9 these historical events into different kinds and use a mind map to connect each one together. And you draw the pictures to explain and help us remember.” “That will be cool!” Maria said, “Let’s start right now!” “Sure.” said Julie. At that time, Julie found that 10 didn’t seem so difficult. All in all, what you need to do is to find what you are good at and make full use of it. 1．A．and B．but C．so 2．A．cheap B．new C．easy 3．A．looked up B．put on C．took place 4．A．Without B．Over C．Beside 5．A．exactly B．badly C．suddenly 6．A．creative B．polite C．silent 7．A．number B．idea C．influence 8．A．connect B．chat C．suggest 9．A．turn B．divide C．throw 10．A．counting B．discovering C．learning Part 1: Read and Explore Many people complain about their bad memory, especially when they are older. How can we improve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory（remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists（心理学家）doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psychologist E. C. 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(分块), and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848. According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. 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(之后), on average, they were able to recall 90% of them! However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a specific disease, 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(被动地)" reading and re-reading notes. Part 2: Skills Challenge Task 1: Critical Thinking（批判性思考） 1.

How can we improve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory（remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists（心理学家）doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psychologist E. C. 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(分块), and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848. According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. 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(之后), on average, they were able to recall 90% of them! However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a specific disease, 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(被动地)" reading and re-reading notes. Part 2: Skills Challenge Task 1: Critical Thinking（批判性思考） 1.

I’m your school radio reporter. I learn from the passage that repeating things passively is not the best way to remember them for long. 1.______________________________________ I wonder 2.__________________________________________________________________. 【答案】 Task 1 1. Because psychologists doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. Stanford’s test proved that even reading something for 25 years couldn’t help him remember most of it. 2.Method 1: Grouping information into small chunks. Method 2: Inventing a story that includes all the things you want to remember.（也可写：Creating a mental picture / Asking yourself questions to form meaningful connections） 3. 开放题，答案合理即可。Improve your memory with smart ways, not just hard work! Task 2 1. Grouping 2. It can’t help people remember things for very long. 3. mental 4. questions Task 3 1. Instead, grouping information, making mental pictures and asking questions are much more effective ways to improve our memory. 2. what smart memory methods you will try to use in your study from now on.
