So, how can you improve your memory
It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can try to memorize something new. You can try a Maths puzzle. You can also try to learn new skills or study a foreign language. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things.

How to improve your memory
If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet. You must give your brain enough time to rest. Unless you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well.
If you want your brain to work well, you also need to relax. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less sharp.
So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.

Discussion
Strategies for remembering
Firstly, become interested in what you’ re learning. We’re all better at remembering what interests us. Few people, for example, have difficulty in remembering the names of people. If you’re not interested in what you’re learning or trying to remember, you must find a way to become so.
Secondly, find a way to create your visual (视觉上的) memory. For example, you can remember Mike who has large ears by creating a mental picture of a microphone (a “mike”) that looks like his big ears. It is not easy to do this at first, but if you practise, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can come up with creative ways to create these images.
拓 展
Thirdly, create a mental memory tree. If you’re trying to memorize a large number of facts, find a way to relate them in your mind visually with a memory tree. Construct (建造) big branches first, then leaves. Branches and leaves should carry labels that are personally meaningful to you in some way, and the organization of the facts (“leaves”) should be logical. For example, it’s easier to remember 467890 as 467 and 890 than as six individual digits (数字).
Fourthly, do most of your study in the afternoon. Though you may identify yourself as a “morning person” or “evening person”，afternoon appears to be the best time of a day you actually study.
Last but not least, get enough sleep to keep memories. Not just at night after you’ve studied but the day before you study as well. It’s far better to do this than to stay up all night for an exam.

A
Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, learn, create and feel; to blink and breathe—this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it “the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe”．
Can this small grey organ, which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much？ Amazingly, your brain contains about 100 billion neurons（神经元）—it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb．
So exactly how fast does your brain work Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your brain’s unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs．
But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future The structure of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How As you practice, your brain sends “bike riding” messages again and again. Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on．
1. What can we know about neurons from the passage？
A．Neurons receive messages very slowly. B．Neurons are only found in your skin.
C．Neurons send messages to your brain. D．Neurons are less than 100 million.
2. In Paragraph 3, the writer mention computers to__________.
A．tell us how fast our brains work B．show how fast computers have become
C．say that computers have no use D．compare the functions of brains and computers
3. What will your brain do when you have a new thought？
A．You remember something. B．The structure of your brain changes.
C．Your brain will power a light bulb. D．Send messages again and again.
4. Which of the statements about the brain is TRUE？
A．The electricity produced by the neurons can hardly power a light bulb．
B．Neurons in your brain send messages at a speed of 240 km an hour.
C．After receiving the information, the brain send the same neurons back to your foot．
D．We learn a new skill by sending the messages again and again through the brain．
5. What is the article mainly about？
A．All the steps when your brain learns things．
B．How the brain makes people smarter than computers．
C．What an unbelievable organ the human brain is．
D．How neurons work in our skin and brains
