Some said that tea and coffee were harmful to humans and they could cause people to die. In Sweden（瑞典）, King Gustaf decided to find out whether or not this was true. It happened that there were two brothers in prison at that time. They were twins and were almost exactly alike in every way. They had both been sentenced to death (判处死刑). The King decided to let them live if one of the men agreed to drink several cups of tea each day and the other several cups of coffee.Both brothers lived many years without problems of any kind. At last, the brother who had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83, the other died a few years later.

You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain(大脑)to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep，your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.In order to keep your mind on your work，you must be free from worry. Generally, keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well not just for improving your memory.TitleHow to 76 your memoryMain 77 * Take special care of your health.* You can make yourself excited to make your memory more active by 78 in some new activities and changing your daily habits.*Learning a new skill is 79 to your brain.*Pay attention to the most important things i
