Memory Corner
Henry, Paula and Millie write for the school newspaper. They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.
Henry
A great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world. Remember: a picture is worth a thousand words.
Text
Paula
A good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants.”
Millie
You will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.

A
Do you find it hard to remember words Perhaps you think writing stories or drawing pictures is difficult. Well, try to paint your room a different colour, it may help!
Scientists have discovered that colours influence minds. People did tests with either red or blue computer screens. One group of the test-takers who used red screens were found later to score higher on memory tests while the other group who used blue screens were found to be more creative.?
It sounds strange, but it surely makes sense(讲得通). What are some common red signs Think about fire trucks, stop signs, and your teacher’s red pen. These things make us alert to danger or mistakes, so we pay attention and remember them. Blue things, like a peaceful blue sky or a sea view, calm us. When we are relaxed, our imagination wakes up and helps us be more creative.?
It’s time to put away your yellow highlighter(荧光笔). Use a red pen when you need to remember facts and details(细节). Switch to a blue pen when you need to create new ideas. If you follow this piece of advice, you may pass your next test with flying colours!
( ) 1. According to this article, what colour helps students with their memory when they are studying
A. Red. B. Blue. C. Yellow. D. Black.
( ) 2. According to this article, which helps people calm down
A. Fire trucks. B. A red screen. C. A yellow highlighter. D. A sea view.
( ) 3. How can we keep facts and details in our minds better and longer
A. To draw pictures. B. To turn on the computer.
C. To use red pens. D. To take tests.
( ) 4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “alert”
A. alive B. attentive C. clever D. helpful
( ) 5. What is the main idea of this article
A. Colours can change how our minds work.
B. The colour helps us pay attention to things.
C. The blue computer screen makes people creative.
D. Use a yellow highlighter, and it’ll help you pass the tests easily.
B
Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, help s you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running ,riding a bike ,swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change---it takes a long time to make a difference.
Memory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten--digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630. This method is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals, Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.
However, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.
( ) 1. How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
( ) 2. Which of the following examples is the use of the skill “organization”
A. Remembering the word “sad ”by putting it into the group of “feeling ”
B. Remembering the meaning of the word “red” by connecting it with fire
C. Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning.
D. Remembering the post number 0708591 by diving it into 070 and 857 1
( ) 3. According to the passage, why should we review what we’ve learnt
A. To use it better every day B. To understand it in a better way
C. To improve memory skills D. To remember it for a longer time
( ) 4. The passage is written to tell us______.
A. not everyone has a good memory
B. memory skills are not difficult to learn
C. memory can be improved in some ways
D. it is important to have a healthy lifestyle
C
