五、阅读理解。
[心理学]Many people complain that their memory is bad, especially as they get older. Life would be much easier if we could remember all the things effortlessly. So how can we improve our memory?
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. 21.F psychologists(心理学家)doubt whether it can help you to 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. 22.C A more helpful way, 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, and it becomes much easier: 1492178919931848.
So what about “memory training”? We've all heard about people who can memorize packs of cards by heart—how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? 23.B Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the items to be memorized.One method,which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to the word you want to remember.
24.D In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterward, 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 large amounts 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 particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: “Do people get it from water?”“What parts of the body does it affect?” and so on. 25.E

E.This is said to be far more effective than time spent “passively” reading and rereading notes.
