Researchers tracked 10,760 adults over 50 in England. Those with higher well-being — happiness, confidence, and life purpose — scored better on memory tests. The link held even after accounting for depression symptoms. Scientists say mental well-being may strengthen neural pathways linked to memory retention. Yale University Discovers Why We Experience "Baby Amnesia" Yale University researchers (March 2025) discovered why we experience "baby amnesia". Scanning babies aged 4 months to 2 years, they found memories form in the hippocampus but can't be accessed later. As our brains grow, we lose the clues to get these memories back. Lead scientist Prof. Turk-Browne said early memories aren't lost — we just can't reach them. Specific clues like smells might help bring back these hidden early-life memories. Human Memory Is Reconstructive, Not an Exact Record MIT researchers (April 2026) proved human memory is reconstructive, not a perfect record. FMRI and AI showed each recall rewrites memories by merging old details with new information or emotions. In tests, 78% of subjects recalled false details; suggestive questions pushed error rates to 92%. This explains why eyewitness accounts often conflict. The study changes how we view memory reliability in courts, education, and daily life. ( )1. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A. SCIENCE. B. SPORTS. C. FASHION. D. CULTURE. ( )2. What did the 16-year study find about positive outlook? A. It can cure depression completely. B. It helps protect middle-aged memory. C. It changes people's life purpose. D. It weakens neural pathways in the brain. ( )3. The best heading for the second piece of news would be ____________. A. How to Keep Early Memories Forever B. The Mystery of "Baby Amnesia" Explained C. Yale's New Study on Baby Growth D. Smells: The Best Memory Clues ( )4. What did MIT discover about human memory? A. It works like a perfect video record. B. Each recall changes memories by mixing old and new details. C. False memory rate will reach 92% without any questions. D. Eyewitness accounts are always completely reliable. ( )5. What do the three pieces of news have in common? A. They all talk about ways to improve memory skills. B. They all introduce new medical treatments for memory loss. C. They all present scientific research related to memory. D. They all explain how to protect brain neural pathways. 第二课时 ……→ Section A (3a~3d) 一 根据句意及汉语、首字母或音标提示填空 1.

(用 what 牵线，无 that) 课本例句：Could you tell me why it is easy to forget a word? (用 why 牵线，无 that) 二、陈述语序是关键 这是宾语从句最核心的规则：从句必须是"主语+谓语"的陈述语序。 课本例句：I can't remember what things you asked me to buy. (原问句 did you ask → 从句 you asked，还原陈述语序) 课本例句：Study how they are different from each other. (原问句 are they → 从句 they are，还原陈述语序) 三、时态随主巧应变 从句时态跟着主句"灵活应变"： 1. 若主句是现在时态(don't/can't/know/tell 等)，从句时态按实际表达的时间来用(现在/过去/将来都可以)。 课本例句：I can't remember what things you asked me to buy. (主句 can't 现在时，从句 asked 一般过去时) 2. 若主句是过去时态，从句时态要同步调整为过去范畴的时态(如 can→could，will→would，后续会深入学习)。 例：The teacher told me how I could improve my memory. 四、标点看主来收官 句子末尾的标点由主句决定，完美"收官"： 1. 主句是陈述句 → 句末用句号 例：Bob does not know who took his wallet. 2. 主句是疑问句 → 句末用问号 例：Could you tell me why it is hard to master English grammar? 同步精练 一 根据句意及汉语或音标提示填空 1.

They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: Close your eyes and touch your nose. It's easy, right? That's because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it. __★__. Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react to loud noises faster than to a friend's voice. Scientists aren't completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows(影子) in dark rooms. Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colours when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It's called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle(相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming through knee pain. So we often joke that we're “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment(调整) to some senses. If someone can't see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger. Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there's still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What's the secret to improving memory? Then it's time for you to start your discovering journey. ( )1. What do the two examples in the first paragraph show? A. Brains help our bodies work well. B. Human brains are different. C. Humans can touch their noses easily. D. People have many living habits. ( )2. Which of the following can be put in __★__? A. It's fun to study our ancestors' life B. It's easy to learn about senses C. Animals help people in many ways D. Brains are also life-saving heroes ( )3. Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”? ( )4. According to Paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix? A. You can tie your shoes without looking. B. You taste sweetness when seeing an apple. C. You jump when someone shouts suddenly. D. You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes. ( )5. What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A. To improve people's memory. B. To encourage brain studies. C. To show the value of our brains. D. To admire scientists' efforts. 第五课时 ……→ Vocabulary in Use (2a~3d) 一 根据句意及汉语、首字母或音标提示填空 1. The price of the oil has i_______ a lot because of the war. 2.

I felt full of 1 and didn’t know how to react — my bus ticket and pocket money were both in it. I ran back along the road quickly, trying to 2 every corner I had passed, including the small ice cream shop, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. My grandpa found me crying in the yard and told me to calm down at once, patting my back gently. “Let’s think 3,” he said softly, sitting down beside me. “Try to 4 the last time you saw your wallet clearly.” I closed my eyes tightly and tried to 5 the position of my schoolbag when I walked past the small community park. I 6 that I might have dropped it when I stopped to watch a cute squirrel hiding brown nuts under an old oak tree, but I was too excited to check my bag carefully at that moment. We went back to the 7 slowly and searched every corner carefully, even asking the old park cleaner if she had seen a blue wallet. Soon, I found my wallet under an old oak tree, right next to a small brown nut that the squirrel had 8. I felt so relieved and realized that 9 thinking is more effective than just running around in a hurry. This unforgettable 10 made me understand that memory is not just about memorizing facts, but about connecting things with our feelings and real-life experiences. I learned to 11 important moments in mind, like where I put my valuable things such as my wallet or keys. I also started to use small 12 to remember daily things, such as ticking a quick note in my notebook to mark where I left my bag. Now, I no longer 13 things easily, and I know how to 14 my memory to good use in both studies and daily life. This special experience has 15 my way of thinking about memory forever, making me a more careful and smart learner. ( )1. A. happiness B. sadness C. surprise D. fear ( )2.

Maybe your memory is better than all of your friends. But if you think you have a better memory than a chimpanzee(黑猩猩), you may be wrong! Tetsuro Matsuzawa, a scientist from Kyoto University, Japan, has shown how chimpanzees have far better memories than people. Scientists tested four chimpanzees and people. They showed them five numbers on a computer screen. Chimpanzees and people had to remember the numbers correctly. But to make it hard, the numbers disappeared after 0.7 second. Then, they changed the time to 0.2 second. “After many tests, we find that when people began to make mistakes, the young chimpanzees still did very well,” Matsuzawa said. “Chimpanzees have great memories,” he added. “You can do things to improve your memory. But you will never be a match for them.” ★ . We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees. But during evolution(进化), we lost some of our shared abilities. As people learn new skills, like language, we have to lose some of our memory skills to make room in our brains. “To get something, we have to lose something,” said the scientist. Chimpanzees need good memories to live better. When a chimpanzee looks up at the big tree and picks a banana, he can’t forget where he saw it when he fights with other animals. That’s why chimpanzees still have better memories than us. ( )1. How does the write start the passage? A. By giving an example. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking a question. D. By comparing ideas.

Memory in Our Daily Life B I used to think I had a terrible memory. In class, I could remember exciting stories our teacher told, but names, dates, and maths rules flew right out of my head. My classmates could remember long lists of new words easily, while I mixed them up, feeling frustrated. I often thought, “Why is my memory so different?” One day, I told my grandpa about my trouble. He listened quietly, then smiled. “Your memory isn’t bad,” he said. “It’s just special. Let me show you a secret.” He asked me to picture my favourite place — a sunny beach. “Now,” he said, “connect the new words with things there. A ‘starfish’ can sit on a warm rock. A ‘seashell’ can be under a blue umbrella.” I tried it. It worked! This approach is called creating a “mind palace”. It is like building a special house in your mind where you can put memories. After that, I stopped trying to remember everything in the same way. For numbers, I turned them into pictures. The number 81 became a tall tree (8) and a pencil (1). I connected rules to feelings. A boring grammar rule became the strict but fair teacher who first taught it to me. I also started to write short diary entries every night, not to memorize, but to connect facts with my own life. It was no longer just study; it became a part of my day. Slowly, things changed. I no longer felt afraid of history tests or new English lessons. I even started to enjoy finding new ways to remember things. I learned that my memory works best with stories, pictures, and feelings, not just plain words. This discovery made me feel more confident. My test scores improved, and more importantly, the stress and fear about forgetting began to disappear. I now understand that memory is not about being a camera that records everything perfectly. It is more like a painter. A painter doesn’t copy a scene exactly; he uses different colours and shapes to show its feeling and meaning. My memory is my own painter. It uses my stories, my pictures, and my feelings to help me understand and keep the world. This is the real lesson: The best memory is the one that truly works for you. ( )6.

Facts and dates for my history class seemed to disappear from my mind as 1 (quick) as they entered. It was truly frustrating. Last month, for example, we had a big test. We needed to remember ten important historical events and their exact years. My friend Tom could list them all easily 2 any notes, while I struggled to remember even the first one. I felt completely hopeless and thought I would never pass. Then, my history teacher, Mr Chen, noticed my trouble. He 3 (share) a simple but powerful secret after class. “Don’t just try to memorize the cold facts,” he said with a smile. “Turn them into a vivid story. Your brain loves stories.” To show me, he took the first event — the 4 (one) printed book in 1440. “Close your eyes,” he said. “Think of a man in a dark, 5 (noise) room. He is excited and jumping because he just made the first printed book! This funny picture will stick in your head.” Filled with a little hope, I decided to try this creative method for 6 (my). For the next event, I created a short, funny picture in my mind. It was much more 7 (interest) and enjoyable than just repeating numbers silently. To my great surprise, by connecting all ten events into one long story, I could remember them all in the correct order. The test was no longer scary. The method wasn’t 8 working harder with more repetition; it was about working smarter. Now, I use this story method for many other subjects, like science and English. I even help some of my classmates by creating fun memory stories together. I finally learned that my memory isn’t bad at all. It just 9 (prefer) lively pictures and stories over boring lists. This experience has changed my study habits and built up my confidence. The greatest lesson I’ve learned is that understanding 10 your own mind works is the best study tool. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Our Memory 第一课时 一、1. lecture 2. position 3. chain 4. stable 5. react 二、1.

I am so happy to share with you some methods on improving our memory. First, it is important to exercise our brains. For example, we can try new things and change our daily habits. At the same time, if we live a healthy life, our memory will work better. We should have a balanced diet and have enough rest. Second, when we memorize something new, we can read it aloud. Third, we should review what we have learned in time. Finally, if we want our brains to work well, we also need to relax and we should not worry too much. All in all, we should try our best to improve our memory. That’s all.
