Simple Ways to Sharpen Your Memory
Do you find yourself forgetting things more often than you used to? Here are some practical tips that can help you keep your memory in good shape.
Use Your Senses
One of the most effective memory techniques is to use your senses. For example, if you want to remember a person’s name, try to connect it with something you can see, hear, or smell. The more senses you use, the more likely you are to remember. This is because our brains are wired to remember multisensory experiences better than single-sense information.
Create a Story
Turning information into a story is another powerful method. When you need to remember a list of items, create a story that connects them. Our brains naturally remember stories because they have a beginning, middle, and end. This is why we often remember the plot of a movie but forget the names of the characters.
Take Breaks
Studying for long hours without breaks is not helpful for memory. Your brain needs time to process and store information. Research shows that taking short breaks during study sessions can improve memory by giving your brain time to “consolidate” what you have learned. Try the “50-10 rule”—study for 50 minutes, then take a 10-minute break.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water is also important for memory. Even mild dehydration can affect brain function and make it harder to concentrate. Make sure you drink water throughout the day, especially when you are studying or working.
( ) 26. Why is using multiple senses helpful for memory?
A. Because it makes learning more fun. B. Because our brains remember multisensory experiences better.
C. Because it takes more time. D. Because it is more difficult.
( ) 27. What does the underlined word “consolidate” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Forget. B. Change. C. Strengthen. D. Ignore.
( ) 28. What is the “50-10 rule” mentioned in the passage?
A. Study for 10 minutes, break for 50 minutes. B. Study for 50 minutes, break for 10 minutes.
C. Study for 5 hours, break for 10 minutes. D. Study for 50 hours, break for 10 hours.
( ) 29. What does the passage say about drinking water?
A. It is not important for memory. B. Even mild dehydration can affect brain function.
C. You should only drink water when you are thirsty. D. Drinking water makes you tired.
( ) 30. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To explain how memory works. B. To introduce simple ways to improve memory.
C. To compare different memory techniques. D. To discuss the importance of sleep.

The Story of a Lost Memory
Mr. Thompson was a retired teacher who lived alone in a small house. His children had moved to other cities, and he often felt lonely. But there was one thing that always made him happy—his old piano.
Every evening, Mr. Thompson would sit at the piano and play the songs he had learned as a young man. His fingers moved across the keys with ease, and the music filled the room. The melodies brought back memories of his youth—of the parties he had played at, the friends he had made, and the woman he had loved.
One day, Mr. Thompson received a letter from his daughter. She wrote, “Dad, I’m coming to visit you next week. I can’t wait to hear you play the piano again. I still remember how you used to play the song ‘Moonlight Serenade’ for me when I was a little girl.”
Mr. Thompson felt a warm feeling in his heart. He walked over to the piano and sat down. But when he tried to play “Moonlight Serenade,” his fingers stopped. He could not remember the notes. He tried again and again, but the music would not come back to him. He felt frustrated and sad.
The next day, Mr. Thompson decided to practice. He found the sheet music for “Moonlight Serenade” and played it slowly, note by note. He practiced for hours every day. At first, it was difficult. But slowly, the music started to come back.
When his daughter arrived, Mr. Thompson played the song perfectly. His daughter’s eyes filled with tears of joy. “It’s beautiful, Dad. You still play it just like before,” she said.
Mr. Thompson smiled and realized that memory is not always about remembering everything—it’s about the effort we make to keep what matters alive.
( ) 31. What made Mr. Thompson happy in his lonely life?
A. His daughter’s letters. B. His old piano and music.
C. His teaching job. D. His friends’ visits.
( ) 32. What happened when Mr. Thompson tried to play “Moonlight Serenade” after reading the letter?
A. He played it perfectly. B. He could not remember the notes.

( ) 29. What did Mr. Thompson do to remember the song?
A. He gave up playing. B. He found the sheet music and practiced it every day.
C. He asked his daughter to teach him. D. He bought a new piano.
( ) 34. How did Mr. Thompson’s daughter feel when she heard the song?
A. Angry. B. Bored. C. Joyful and touched. D. Surprised but disappointed.
( ) 35. What is the main lesson of this story?
A. Old people always lose their memory. B. Music is not important in life.
C. Effort can help us keep what matters alive. D. We should not practice playing the piano.

Many people worry about losing their memory as they age. However, recent scientific research shows that we can take steps to protect our memory and even improve it.
The first step is to exercise your brain. Activities that challenge your mind, such as solving puzzles, learning a new language, or playing chess, can help build new connections between brain cells. These connections help information travel faster and more easily in your brain.
Second, physical exercise is also important. When you exercise, your heart pumps more blood to your brain. This extra blood brings more oxygen and nutrients to brain cells, helping them stay healthy and work better.
Third, eating a healthy diet can protect your memory. Foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and nuts, are especially good for brain health.
Finally, managing stress is crucial. High stress can damage memory over time. Activities like yoga, meditation, or even walking can help reduce stress and protect your memory.
( ) 36. Learning a new language can help build new connections between brain cells.
( ) 37. Physical exercise does not affect brain function.
( ) 38. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids are good for brain health.
( ) 39. Stress is not harmful to memory.
( ) 40. The passage mainly discusses ways to protect and improve memory.

Why We Forget and How to Remember Better
Have you ever wondered why we forget things? Scientists have studied the science of forgetting and have discovered some surprising facts.
Why We Forget
One reason we forget is that our brains are designed to filter out unimportant information. If your brain remembered every single detail of your life, it would be overwhelmed. Forgetting helps your brain focus on what is truly important.
Another reason is that memories fade over time if they are not used. This is called “decay.” Information that you don’t review or practice gradually disappears from your memory.
A third reason is “interference.” Sometimes, new information gets mixed up with old information, making it hard to recall either one correctly. This often happens when you learn similar things at the same time, such as studying two different languages.
How to Remember Better
The good news is that we can fight these natural forgetting processes. One effective method is “spaced repetition.” Instead of cramming all your studying into one night, review the material at increasing intervals. For example, review it after one day, then three days, then one week. This sends a signal to your brain that the information is important and should be stored in long-term memory.
Another method is “active recall.” Instead of just re-reading your notes, try to recall the information from memory. Close your book and try to explain the main points out loud. The effort of actively retrieving information strengthens the memory.
Finally, get enough sleep. When you sleep, your brain replays the day’s events and strengthens important memories. This is why pulling all-nighters before exams often doesn’t work!

How to Improve Your Memory
Do you want to have a better memory? Scientists have discovered that the brain is like a muscle—it can be trained and improved with practice. Here are some effective ways to boost your memory.
First, use “spaced repetition.” Research shows that reviewing information at gradually increasing intervals sends a signal to your brain that the information is important. This is much more effective than cramming all your studying into one night.
Second, use “active recall.” When you are learning something new, don’t just read your notes passively. Close your book and try to recall the information from memory. This effort to retrieve information strengthens the connections between brain cells, making the memory easier to access later.
Third, get enough sleep. Your brain plays back the events of the day while you sleep and strengthens memories. In fact, lack of sleep can reduce your ability to remember new information by up to 40%.
Finally, keep your brain active. Doing puzzles, learning new skills, or reading regularly helps build new connections in your brain and keeps your memory sharp.

参考范文:
As the saying goes, “A good memory is a treasure for life.” I believe this is very true. Here are my thoughts on the importance of memory and how I keep it strong.
First of all, memory is important because it helps us learn and succeed in life. Without memory, we would forget everything we have learned and could not build on our knowledge. A good memory also helps us remember special moments with family and friends.
One of my unforgettable memories is winning first place in a school speech competition. I had practiced for weeks and felt nervous before going on stage. But when I started speaking, all the words came out smoothly. The feeling of success has stayed with me ever since.
To keep my memory strong, I do two things. First, I review what I have learned regularly instead of cramming before exams. Second, I connect new information with things I already know. This makes it easier to recall later.
In conclusion, memory is a gift that we should treasure and train. With effort, we can all improve our memory and enjoy a better life.
