Many students think memory is something we are born with. In fact, everyone can improve it by using the right methods. Last term, I often forgot what I had learned. My teacher gave me some useful 1. First, I made a study plan and 2 the important points before a test. Second, I used a mind map to 3 new ideas with old ones. This helped me understand the lesson 4. I also repeated new words aloud and wrote them down 5. When I felt tired, I took a short break instead of 6 at my book for a long time. I found that sleep was important, too. If I went to bed late, it was 7 for me to remember things the next day. After a few weeks, my memory became 8 and I felt more confident. The secret is not to study for many hours without a rest, 9 to study actively and regularly. Now I believe that a good method can make a big 10.

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

Do you know the forgetting curve? It shows that people forget information quickly after learning it. However, we can slow down forgetting by reviewing at the right time. A simple plan is to review new information after one day, then after three days, one week and one month. This is called spaced review. It is better than reading the same page many times in one evening. When reviewing, close your book first and try to say or write what you remember. This is active recall. It may feel harder, but it helps your brain keep the information for a longer time. You can also use pictures, stories and examples to make the information meaningful. Remember: good memory is not magic. It grows when you use it in a smart way.

11. What does the forgetting curve show?
A. People learn only in the morning.  B. People forget information quickly after learning it.  C. People remember every story.  D. People should never review.

12. Which is an example of spaced review?
A. Reviewing once a month only.  B. Reading all night before a test.  C. Reviewing after one day, three days, one week and one month.  D. Reviewing only when you forget everything.

13. What should you do before opening your book during active recall?
A. Draw a picture.  B. Try to say or write what you remember.  C. Go to sleep.  D. Ask a friend to read it.

14. Why can stories and examples help?
A. They make information meaningful.  B. They make books shorter.  C. They stop all mistakes.  D. They replace reviewing.

15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Smart Way to Improve Memory  B. How to Write a Story  C. A Difficult School Day  D. Why People Like Pictures

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

Last Saturday, our class tried a memory game. Each group received twenty words about nature. We had three minutes to look at them. Some students simply read the list again and again. Others made a funny story with the words. For example, “river”, “bird” and “tree” became a story about a bird flying over a river and resting in a tree. After ten minutes, the students who made stories remembered more words. Our teacher explained that the brain remembers things better when they are connected. She also asked us to use more than one sense. We said the words, wrote them and drew small pictures. The game was fun, but it also taught us a useful lesson: memory improves when learning is active, meaningful and interesting.

16. How long did the students look at the words?
A. Two minutes.  B. Three minutes.  C. Ten minutes.  D. Twenty minutes.

17. What did some students do with the words?
A. They put them in a funny story.  B. They threw them away.  C. They copied a whole book.  D. They asked another class for help.

18. Why did the story-makers remember more words?
A. They had more time.  B. They used a dictionary.  C. They connected the words.  D. They studied at home.

19. Which was NOT mentioned as a way to learn the words?
A. Saying them.  B. Writing them.  C. Drawing pictures.  D. Singing them.

20. What lesson did the game teach the class?
A. Learning should be active and meaningful.  B. Games are better than lessons.  C. Nature words are easy for everyone.  D. Students should study alone.
