So how can we improve our memory？Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them11 . psychologists（心理学家）doubt whether it can help you to remember things for very longThe British psychologist ECStanford 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 years12 . A more helpful way, especially for remembering numbers，is grouping the informationThe following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember.1492178919931848But look at them in chunks，and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848So what about “memory training”？Weve all heard about people who can memorize packs of card by heart-how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it？13 . Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the items to be memorizedOne method，which may be useful in learning foreign languages，is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember14 . 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 funFor those studying large number of information，psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go alongSo, 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 on15 . ATo share some ways of improving memory.BAccording to experts, there are many ways of training your memoryCHe found that he could remember no more than three words of them!DAnother method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to rememberEThis is said to be far more effective than time spent “passively” reading and rereading notes.FWhile this undoubtedly helps short-term memory （remembering a telephone number for a few seconds，for example）三、完型填空Mr. Clinton and his 3-year-old son Tony are basketball fans.

However, four children decided to explore on their own. They went in the caves with a group, but left the group and walked down a tunnel. They thought it would be fun to explore the caves alone.Soon they came to a hole in the wall. They climbed through the hole into another part of the cave. Then they decided to turn back, but they could not remember the way. They were lost in the caves. When the guide led the other children out of the caves, he counted them. He discovered that there were four children missing. He had to go back into the caves to try to find the missing children.The children who were lost moved deeper and deeper into the caves. The deeper they went, the more lost they became. They were frightened. They started shouting for help, but the guide didnt hear them. How dangerous they were!Soon they came to an underground river. They guessed that the river must flow out of the caves. The water was very cold and deep, but the children kept on swimming. For a long time, they swam in darkness, then they saw light ahead of them. The river was flowing out of the caves into the bigger river and the children were able to leave the caves. They climbed out of the river on to the riverbank.

You are far more sensible than them, arent you?There is science to back up this theory. Scientists from Newcastle University, UK, and Seoul University, South Korea, found that the brain matures (成熟) earlier in girls than in boys. This is partly because of the way childrens brains are “pruned.”As the brain matures, it begins to cut out unimportant information and focus on important information. This process is called “pruning.”In order to learn more about this process, scientists scanned the brains of 121 people aged between 4 and 40. They found that pruning began much earlier in girls. Between the ages of 10 and 12, a girls brain will start to see a lot of activities as the pruning process starts. But for boys, this doesnt start until the age of 15 to 20.During this process, the brain will turn off memories, sounds or sights that appear several times. But important connections, like linking the sound of a familiar persons voice to their face, are kept.“The loss of connectivity during brain development can help to improve brain function,” scientist Sol Lim told the Daily Telegraph.To understand this more easily, imagine you are at a party and everyone is talking. You cant concentrate. But if you “turn off” some of the voices, it is easier to hear the others. The brain works in a similar way.37 . What did the scientists find?ABoys usually focus on unimportant information.BGirls never focus on unimportant information.CGirls mature earlier than boys.DConnectivity helps improve brain function.38 . What does the underlined word “pruned”probably mean?A删减B成长C改变D损失39 . What happens during the process “pruning”?AThe brain doesnt work for a moment.BYou cant remember, hear or see.CThe connections between things disappear.DBrains develop to focus on important information.40 . What can we know from the passage?ABoys are more silly than girls.BBoys are less sensible than girls.CYou can never concentrate at the parties.DBrains function better after losing some connections.Ganluyuan TongrenMENUSOUPSTofu soup￥8. 00 Bone soup￥12. 00 Chicken soup￥20. 00STAPLESFried rice￥10. 00 Fried noodles￥10. 00 Hot dog￥4. 00 Rice￥2. 00Meat pie￥10. 00 Sandwich￥10. 00 Hamburger￥10. 00MAIN COURSESRoast chicken￥30. 00 Italian pizza￥9. 00 Indian curries￥15. 00Pork and cabbage￥15. 00 Cheese pie￥10. 00 Beef￥15. 00Beijing Roast Duck￥50. 00 Sausage￥15. 00DESSERTSFruit salad￥8. 00 Apple pie￥8. 00 Ice cream￥3. 00Pear pancake.￥9. 00DRINKSCoke￥8. 00 Coffee￥15. 00 Tea￥7. 00 Lemon juice￥6. 00Apple juice￥3. 00 Beer￥17. 00 Wine￥30. 00Milk￥3. 00Thanks for coming!Tel: 08565223748Ganluyuan TongrenMENUSOUPSTofu soup￥8. 00 Bone soup￥12. 00 Chicken soup￥20. 00STAPLESFried rice￥10. 00 Fried noodles￥10. 00 Hot dog￥4. 00 Rice￥2. 00Meat pie￥10. 00 Sandwich￥10. 00 Hamburger￥10. 00MAIN COURSESRoast chicken￥30. 00 Italian pizza￥9. 00 Indian curries￥15. 00Pork and cabbage￥15. 00 Cheese pie￥10. 00 Beef￥15. 00Beijing Roast Duck￥50. 00 Sausage￥15. 00DESSERTSFruit salad￥8. 00 Apple pie￥8. 00 Ice cream￥3. 00Pear pancake.￥9. 00DRINKSCoke￥8. 00 Coffee￥15. 00 Tea￥7. 00 Lemon juice￥6. 00Apple juice￥3. 00 Beer￥17. 00 Wine￥30. 00Milk￥3. 00Thanks for coming!Tel: 0856522374841 .

Her invention won 2019 James Dyson Award, which was created by the famous English inventor James Dyson to encourage students to try to use their creativity to solve problems in the real world.Lucy Hughes studied how to design products at the University of Sussex in England. As a designer, she knew a lot about how wasteful many products are. Plastic bags, for example, are often used once for a short time and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste insteadThe University of Sussex isnt far from the coast. Ms. Hughes spent some time studying the fishing business and the waste from fish that were thrown away. After some tests, she decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. She tried more than 100 different experiments before getting things just right. Ms. Hughes called her finished product MarinaTex. It solves two problems: the single-use plastic and fish waste. MarinaTex is clear and feels like p
