八、阅读理解
Memory is essential(重要) for life. We have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. When we get old, our short-term memory becomes weaker, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago. There are many things we can do to improve our memory, such as using various memorizing methods as well as taking special care of our health.
It is important that we regularly stimulate(刺激) our brain to make our memory more efficient(有效). For example, we can do activities that we do not usually do and change our daily habits. Learning a new skill helps our brain develop.
When trying to memorize something, we should focus our attention on the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter our mind because this will lower our chances of remembering things correctly.
One basic way of improving our memory is to use the link method. If we want to memorize something, we should make a picture in our mind. If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, we will remember it better.
Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools. Sometimes, memory is connected with our feelings. When something dramatic happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are important to our memory. Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain our memory.
When we are asleep, our brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause problems with storing information. In addition, being tired will stop us from being able to remember well. As a result, keeping fit and having regular health checks are both important as well.
1. How does people’s memory change when they get older
A. The short-term memory becomes stronger.
B. The short-term memory becomes weaker.
C. The long-term memory becomes stronger.
D. The long-term memory becomes weaker.
2. According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT be remembered better in a short time
A. A strange insect. B. A colourful letter. C. A dramatic event. D. A boring talk.
3. When people try to remember the word ‘smiles’, an easy way to do this is to imagine there is a ‘mile’ between the first letter and the last letter. This is because they .
A. use the link method B. connect it with feelings C. have a good rest D. take some notes
4. What SHOULD people do when they try to make their memory more efficient
A. Always do the same things and never change their daily habits.
B. Memorize something while listening to music or watching TV.
C. Keep other ideas out of their mind when focusing attention.
D. Sleep at most 6 hours a day and drink a lot of coffee or tea.
5. What’s the best title of this passage
A. How to Use Memory Tools B. How to Keep Long-term Memory
C. How to Improve Our Memory D. How to Stay Healthy
B 阅读填空
阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
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. 1 .
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. 2 You need to find out a way to remember everything you need without writing it down. 3 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. 4 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.
5 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.

八、阅读理解
Memory is essential(重要) for life. We have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. When we get old, our short-term memory becomes weaker, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago. There are many things we can do to improve our memory, such as using various memorizing methods as well as taking special care of our health.
It is important that we regularly stimulate(刺激) our brain to make our memory more efficient(有效). For example, we can do activities that we do not usually do and change our daily habits. Learning a new skill helps our brain develop.
When trying to memorize something, we should focus our attention on the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter our mind because this will lower our chances of remembering things correctly.
One basic way of improving our memory is to use the link method. If we want to memorize something, we should make a picture in our mind. If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, we will remember it better.
Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools. Sometimes, memory is connected with our feelings. When something dramatic happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are important to our memory. Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain our memory.
When we are asleep, our brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause problems with storing information. In addition, being tired will stop us from being able to remember well. As a result, keeping fit and having regular health checks are both important as well.
1. How does people’s memory change when they get older
A. The short-term memory becomes stronger.
B. The short-term memory becomes weaker.
C. The long-term memory becomes stronger.
D. The long-term memory becomes weaker.
2. According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT be remembered better in a short time
A. A strange insect. B. A colourful letter. C. A dramatic event. D. A boring talk.
3. When people try to remember the word ‘smiles’, an easy way to do this is to imagine there is a ‘mile’ between the first letter and the last letter. This is because they .
A. use the link method B. connect it with feelings C. have a good rest D. take some notes
4. What SHOULD people do when they try to make their memory more efficient
A. Always do the same things and never change their daily habits.
B. Memorize something while listening to music or watching TV.
C. Keep other ideas out of their mind when focusing attention.
