W:I hope you will feel better soon.
三、听短文,选择正确的答案。
(M)It can be hard to remember a long list of things,right?Here is a simple trick to
help you.The trick is to put the things into small groups.For example,imagine you need to
go to the supermarket to buy apples,pens,milk,notebooks,and bananas.Don't try to
remember them all at once.Instead,you can make three groups.The first group can be
“fruits'”:apples and bananas..The second group can be“school things'”:pens and notebooks.
And milk is on its own.Now you just need to remember the groups and the things in them.
This method makes remembering much easier because your brain likes organized
information.You can use this trick for shopping,and it is also very helpful for studying.
四、听短文,填信息。(每空一词)
(W)Research shows that many animals have good long-term memories.They keep in
mind where food can be found and where it is safe.For example,when squirrels run out of
food,they go straight to the place where they hid nuts.Every autumn,wild geese fly
thousands of kilometres south for the winter.Humans do not know for sure what goes
through their minds during the journey,but wild geese seldom get lost.A similar situation
happens to dolphins.They can recognize voices of other dolphins-even when they have not
met each other for a long time.

Hello everyone!
I'm Li Hua.Today,I'm really happy to have this chance to share some simple memory
techniques with you.

enough sleep and exercise regularly.This helps our brains work better.Secondly,before
trying to memorize something,picture it in our mind.It makes it easier for us to remember
better and avoid mixing up similar points.Thirdly,make sure to review what we've learned
in time.Go through key points regularly so that we won't forget them easily.Finally,link
new knowledge with what we know,like making up a short poem.And don't forget to take
breaks to reduce stress.It helps us relax and focus better.
In short,keep these methods in mind and practise them.We are sure to improve our
memory.
That's all for my sharing.Thank you!

22 with him.

to taste terrible because it didn't have Grandpa's touch.

The sweetest memory of my childhood is about a round table.When I was still little,
my whole family would get together on different traditional 31.
to have dinner.We
kids would be sitting around or playing hide-and-seek under the table while the grown-ups
were having a 32.
When I got a bit older,my aunt brought back her boyfriend and my grandma cheerfully
33
another seat to the round table.It seemed a little more crowded,but we all felt
much 34.
to each other.When I was twelve,my grandpa passed away.That made
us35.
sad.However,when the whole family got together once again,we
36.
agreed that his chair,his bowl and his chopsticks should remain the same.
Even though his seat was empty,we felt like that he had never left us.
We all have a table like this in 37.
homes.It is a sign of reunion of our family
showing our feelings.38.
the reason why we come together may be different,the
feelings behind it are the same.Usually different cultures 39.
by us around the
table.What's more,we express the love not only for our family,but also for a community,
our nation and even the whole world.
The history of our nation has been the stories of looking for or running to the round
table 40.
we belong to.The round table has been a symbol of the Chinese feelings.
It was,it is and will always be.
七、阅读理解。
(A)
The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms,but it can hold much more information than
most computers.However,there is another difference between humans and computers.
Computers don't forget information they are given,but humans often do.No one remembers
everything,and luckily we don't usually have to.But everyone can improve their memory if
they want to.Here are some suggestions.
Try to use new information immediately.For example,if you meet someone who says
“Hi!I'm Carlos,”don't just say“Hello.”Repeat the person's name.Say
Break a big number into smaller parts.For example,it's hard to memorize
109244153.But if you break it into three parts-109/244/153-it becomes easier.
Write out what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep it
in mind longer,especially for memorizing formulas (or facts.
Always review information.If you bring what you've learned back to your mind,
they become easier to remember.For example,before you go to sleep,it's a good idea to
review the new things you learned that day.
Discuss with a friend.It is always easier to remember things through discussion.You
can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong,and it will lead to the right
answer.
Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.You can always do something to
help improve your memory.And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful.If you follow them,you are certain to improve your
memory.

Not long ago,a photo of the football players in my college showed up on my phone as a
"memory",which was kept through the digital memory.I was surprised to see the photo at
first and sweet memories flashed into my mind.
In the photo,the players from the football team hugged together in excitement after
they won the game.At that time,I took a photo of them with my phone.It recorded the
friendship and the happiness.Then,I fell into the habit of taking photos of everything.More
and more photos filled my phone so I almost forgot this photo.Thanks to the digital
memory,I could enjoy the happy time again.
People needed to make an effort to record things in the past.But now we can do
something like that easily through the digital memory.We put what we want to remember
into our smartphones.Most of the photos that I have kept on my phone-and in the cloud
now-bring happy memories back to me.
However,not all the digital memories are happy.Some are sad.When I see the photos
of my lost pet,I am worried.Because they make me recall something I want to forget.
Usually,digital memories are sent to me non-stop and without any human-like feelings.
That drives me crazy.
It's hard to say clearly when the digital memory started madly.These digital memories,
whether happy or sad,break into our lives.In my job as a reporter,I have spent the past
five years taking different photos.They will always be there,whatever.

Brainstorm is the practice of coming up with ideas or solutions.There's no correct way
to brainstorm.51.

ideas,the better.Don't worry about the quality of your ideas for now.52.
Remember that your goal is to come up with as many ideas as possible.Even if none of them
are perfect,you'll still have many creative ideas to use for your final plan.
53.
Don't give up your ideas,no matter how strange they seem to be.
Although unusual ideas may not be immediately practical,just creating those ideas gives
your brain training.It can also help to produce creative solutions that are hard to come up
with.
Share ideas with each other.54.
You can put together the best parts of
different ideas to create new,even better ones.Even if you're not brainstorming as a group,
you should still think about sharing your ideas with others and asking them for their advice.
You don't have to regard yourself as a very creative person to come up with excellent
ideas and solutions at once.55.
Even if you don't find the perfect solution,just
practising it can help to improve your creativity.Put these tips together and you are sure to
come up with some great ideas.

I still remember the sweet smell of osmanthus flowers()from my childhood.Every
autumn,when the osmanthus tree in our yard bloomed,the whole house smelt wonderful.
My grandmother loved the osmanthus flowers very much.She was always worried that
the wind or rain would take the flowers away.So,when the flowers were ready,our family
had a special activity:shaking the tree!My brother and I would help my grandmother shake
the tree.The tiny yellow flowers would fall down like rain.We laughed and got covered in
the "flower rain".It was one of my happiest childhood memories.
After we collected the flowers,my grandmother worked very hard.She cleaned them
and dried them in the sun.Then,she stored them in a little box.She used these flowers to
make delicious food.She made sweet osmanthus cake and even put some in tea.The smell
meant warmth and love to me.
Now,I live in a big city.There are many osmanthus trees in the parks here.The flowers
smell sweet too.But every time I smell them,I think of my grandmother and our old yard.I
once brought some city osmanthus flowers to my grandmother.She smelt them and said,
"The flowers here are nice,but they are not like the flowers from our tree.
I understand now.It's not just about the smell.It's about the memories.It's about
family,love,and the happy times of childhood.That special smell will always remind me of
home.
