So, improving memory is important to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new study, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average (平均) than the other two groups.This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. This forces the brain to think in a different waythe brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus(关注点), the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.Backward walking also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.（1）Backward walking can_ according to the passage. A . improve the memory in the long termB . improve the memory in the short termC . cause much more pain in our kneesD . force the brain to think in the same way（2）Which one is the correct order of the following according to the passage? The backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average.The volunteers answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video The volunteers were divided into 3 groups and 1 group moved backward 10 meters.The volunteers watched a video in which a womans bag was stolen.A . B . C . D . （3）What does the underlines word It in Paragraph 5 refer to_? A . Short-term memoryB . Physical healthC . Forward walkingD . Backward walking（4）In which part of the newspaper can we read this passage? A . Youth VoiceB . Star StoriesC . Our WorldD . Science Study4. （10分）阅读理解 If you enjoy reading, dont miss Shakespeare and Company when you visit Paris. Its a famous English-language bookstore. An American, Sylvia Beach, opened the first Shakespeare and Company in history in 1919. She did more than selling books. Her bookstore was also a library, and she even had beds for writers visiting there. Ms Beach was not only kind to people but also good at choosing books, so her bookstore was often visited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But in 1941, after the Germans took power in Paris, Ms Beach had to close her bookstore. In 1951, another American, George Whitman, opened another English-language bookstore, Le Mistral, in Paris. Since then, just as Ms Beach did, Mr Whitman had also made his bookstore a library for people to borrow books, and a free hotel for writers to stay in.
