通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出一个最佳选项。

Memory is a wonderful thing. It can bring us happiness, but sometimes it can also cause trouble. I had a funny experience last month that I will never forget.

I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. Before leaving home, my wife told me to buy a bottle of cooking oil and a loaf of bread. I repeated the items to myself several times to ___16___ them in mind. “Oil and bread, oil and bread,” I whispered.

When I arrived at the supermarket, it was very crowded. I took a basket and walked around. I saw the milk section and thought, “Should I buy milk?” Then I saw the fruit and thought about apples. I was so ___17___ by all the choices that I forgot my original list.

Suddenly, I had a flash of memory. “I need to buy oil!” I said to myself. So I found the cooking oil and put it in my basket. But what was the other thing? I stood in the middle of the aisle, trying hard to ___18___ it. Was it rice? Was it sugar? I just couldn't ___19___ what it was.

Just then, my phone rang. It was my wife. “Have you bought the oil and the bread?” she asked. “I have the oil,” I replied, “but I’ve ___20___ what the other thing is.” She laughed and said, “It’s bread! You remembered it when you left home, but now you’ve ___21___ it.”

I felt a bit embarrassed, but I laughed too. I went to the bakery section and picked up the bread. On my way home, I thought about how our memory works. We remember things we ___22___ on, but we can easily forget things if we don't pay enough attention.

This experience taught me a lesson. Now, I always write down important things on a ___23___ or set a reminder on my phone. It helps me avoid ___24___ things up and saves me from trouble. Good memory is important, but using tools to help us remember is even ___25___.

21. A. kept        B. mixed        C. forgotten    D. divided

22. A. focus       B. depend       C. insist       D. count

23. A. notebook    B. calendar     C. diary        D. magazine

Memory Tips from Experts

Do you find it hard to remember names, dates, or facts for your exams? You are not alone. Many students struggle with memory. Here are some tips from memory experts to help you improve:

Tip 1: The Power of Repetition

Don’t just read your notes once. Repeat the information several times. Read it aloud, write it down, and then explain it to someone else. This strengthens the connections in your brain.

Tip 2: Create a “Memory Palace”

This ancient technique involves imagining a familiar place, like your house. Then, you place the items you want to remember in different rooms. When you need to recall them, mentally walk through your house and “see” the items.

Tip 3: Use Chunking

Break down large amounts of information into smaller, manageable “chunks.” For example, instead of trying to remember a 10-digit phone number as single digits, group them into chunks (e.g., 123-456-7890).

Tip 4: Get Enough Sleep

Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation. When you sleep, your brain processes and stores the information you learned during the day. Pulling an all-nighter before an exam can actually harm your memory.

Tip 5: Stay Active and Eat Well

Regular exercise increases blood flow to the brain, which helps memory. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like fish, are also known to boost brain health.

26. What is the main purpose of Tip 2?

    A. To explain how to use a real palace for study.

    B. To suggest a method for organizing physical spaces.

    C. To introduce a technique for remembering items by visualization.

    D. To encourage students to walk more in their houses.
