One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbours came to help him before the fire could spread.
Since then, Grandpa has lived with us. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house. Each time I would answer softly, “It’s me, Ray, Grandpa!” Even if he had forgotten who I was, he would always be my dearest grandfather.

Your body needs oxygen to stay alive and work well. Because oxygen is in the blood, anything that stops blood from moving is harmful to your body. And the brain is the most important part of one’s body. The truth is that a healthy heart makes a healthy brain.
When customers ask me about good brain health and memory, the first thing I do is to check their blood pressure(血压) and cholesterol(胆固醇). I suggest you do the same: Know your numbers and if they’re elevated, try to bring them down quickly(eat healthy food, exercise more, and when your doctor tells you to take some medicine — take it).
Here are some methods that are good for your brain and memory.
△ Keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check. A healthy heart makes a healthy brain.
△ Get enough sleep. Study shows that being short of sleep is harmful to your memory.
△ Exercise more. Spend 30 minutes exercising your body a day.
△ Test your brain. Think about some difficult problems to keep your mind working.
△ Don’t smoke. Smoking is harmful to the heart, and it can stop blood from moving to the brain and lead to serious diseases.
△ Give yourself a break. Find out ways to enjoy your life.

Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp（黑猩猩） or a teenager The teenager Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.
Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world.
Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store. Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it’s meaningful to you (an example is data about family and friends. ) And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.
Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One thing’s for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try pictures with English words At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.
Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the word to something you already know.
33.What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A．Chimps are cleverer than human beings.
B．Chimps can memorize numbers better than teenagers.
C．Human memory is not as good as before.
D．Chimps perform better than human beings in many aspects.
34．How many kinds of memory are mentioned in the article
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
35．According to the article, which of the following is the best way to memorize words
A．By watching TV. B．By listening to music.
C．By writing them out many times. D．By listening and watching pictures.
36．According to the article, which of the following is TRUE
A．Memory is the most important ability for human beings.
B．Long-term memory usually involves more important things.
C．Scientists have made sure of the nature of memory.
D．Imagination is better than association in memorizing things.
【答案】BCDB
【解析】本文介绍了记忆的类型，以及人们用不同的方法记忆东西。想象和联想也对记忆有帮助。

35．推理判断题。根据第四段“So why not try pictures with English words At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.”可知，记单词得最好的方法是“听录音”和“看图片”，故选D。

Do you want to have better memory Here are some easy exercises to keep your memory sharp.
Eat with your eyes closed. Surely, this exercise sounds a little strange at first. However, the point of this task is to improve your other senses(感官). Eating with your eyes closed makes you depend on your sense of touch so that you don’t make a mess. 41 .
Try to shop without a list. One reason our memory become worse over time is because we don’t challenge our mind. Everything is too easy. 42 You need to find out a way to remember everything you need without writing it down. 43 See how many things you can remember to get.
Find new activities. One bad habit many of us may have is taking part in the same activities every day. Find something new to try. 44 You can also try something difficult, for example, learning a new sport. The important thing is that you change your daily activities. This will keep your brain focused(集中) on new, challenging tasks.
45 Every day, you should try to learn a new word. Quiz yourself at the end of each week to see how many words you remember. Keep on learning new knowledge is one of the most useful brain exercises for improving your memory.
A. Try going to the store without a shopping list.B. Improve your vocabulary.C. Break it down into different kinds, like meats, vegetables, drinks and so on.D. It also makes your sense of taste and smell sharper as you try to tell the foods you’re eating.E. You can try something as easy as taking a new route to school.

How I wished I had some with me! “William, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait until they smell the peanuts.” I knew he was lost in one of his memories again. I remembered the stories he had told me before. He had talked about how he fed the monkeys when he was a kid. Then, he saw the goldfish! He acted as if he was seeing them for the first time.
Poor Grandpa! He fell ill with Alzheimer’s disease last year. The doctor said the disease could destroy a person’s memory. The patient might also not be able to think clearly. The saddest part was that the disease would last all his life. But when my parents invited him to stay with us, he didn’t agree to come. He said that he liked living alone.
One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbours came to help him before the fire could spread.
Since then, Grandpa has lived with us. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house. Each time I would answer softly, “It’s me, Ray, Grandpa!” Even if he had forgotten who I was, he would always be my dearest grandfather.

Your body needs oxygen to stay alive and work well. Because oxygen is in the blood, anything that stops blood from moving is harmful to your body. And the brain is the most important part of one’s body. The truth is that a healthy heart makes a healthy brain.
When customers ask me about good brain health and memory, the first thing I do is to check their blood pressure(血压) and cholesterol(胆固醇). I suggest you do the same: Know your numbers and if they’re elevated, try to bring them down quickly(eat healthy food, exercise more, and when your doctor tells you to take some medicine — take it).
Here are some methods that are good for your brain and memory.
△ Keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check. A healthy heart makes a healthy brain.
△ Get enough sleep. Study shows that being short of sleep is harmful to your memory.
△ Exercise more. Spend 30 minutes exercising your body a day.
△ Test your brain. Think about some difficult problems to keep your mind working.
△ Don’t smoke. Smoking is harmful to the heart, and it can stop blood from moving to the brain and lead to serious diseases.
△ Give yourself a break. Find out ways to enjoy your life.

Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp（黑猩猩） or a teenager The teenager Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.
Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world.
Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store. Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it’s meaningful to you (an example is data about family and friends. ) And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.
Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One thing’s for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try pictures with English words At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.
Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the word to something you already know.
