He had forgotten her name.Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back，she couldnt remember where shed put them.Perhaps youve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them havent realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact： Memory can be improved. If youll just accept that， the following will show you how.First，relax. If you are over worried about remembering something，youll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad，your mind will come to believe it and you wont remember things. When you forget something， dont follow up with sayings like“Oh，my God ! I always forget things !” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.But relaxing isnt enough. To improve your memory，youll need to take an active role. Like your body， your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities(机会)to exercise your memory. For example，if youre learning a language，try to actively remember a lot of new words.If you dont take notice of things actively，you wont remember them. So， you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example，dont just put your keys down! If you want to find them again， make a mind picture of the place where youre putting them.26 .

Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable（一次性的）toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they dont have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1, 320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it clean and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.30 .
