You’re chatting with a friend and want to recommend a good book you just finished, or a movie you recently watched. 1 It feels like it’s on the tip of your tongue, but the harder you try to remember, the more it slips away. We’ve all been there, and everyone knows how hard it is to keep track of all of that information floating around in your head. Luckily, there are plenty of options available when it comes to improving your memory.
2 Say that address, phone number, or date over and over again to commit it to memory. This is an extremely simple solution. But it’s the best option if you know you’ll need the information in the near future.
Create notable associations in your head. 3 For example, if you meet someone named Vincent, try picturing them looking at a Vincent Willem van Gogh painting. Doing this in your head can dramatically improve your ability to recall specific information, and it can be a fun exercise as well!
Focus on one thing at a time. Turn the TV off while you study and get off the phone while you’re driving. 4 This will make it hard to process the information necessary to remember what you’re doing. If you want to remember things more clearly, focus on one task at a time.
Take notes and write things down. Taking a note will help you retain the information, even if you never look at your notes again! 5 By combining memorization with the act of writing, it helps your brain commit the information to memory.
A. Repeat important information out loud.
B. All of a sudden, you can’t remember the name!
C. There may be a long-term effect of multitasking as well.
D. Doing more than one activity at a time will split your attention.
E. It’s hard to achieve the same effect by typing something on your laptop.
F. While memorization takes place entirely in the brain, writing is a physical act.
G. Paint a picture in your mind to make names, dates, and objects easier to remember.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种提高记忆力的方法。
【答案解析】
1. B 根据空前的“recommend a good book you just finished, or a movie you recently watched”和空后的“It feels like it’s on the tip of your tongue”可知，想推荐一本好书或一部电影时，突然，你不记得书名或电影名了！感觉它到了嘴边却想不起来。故选B。
2. A 根据空后的“Say that address, phone number, or date over and over again”，再结合本段的大意可知，本段主要谈论的是“大声重复重要的信息”。故选A。
3. G 根据段落主题句“Create notable associations in your head.”可知，本段主要谈论的是在头脑中创建明显的联想，再结合空后所举的例子可知，G项“在脑海里描绘一幅图画，让名字、日期和物品更容易记住”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。
4. D 根据段落主题句“Focus on one thing at a time.”和空后的“This will make it hard to process the information necessary to remember what you’re doing.”可知，当你同时进行多项活动时，你的注意力会被分散，这将使你很难处理必要的信息来记住你正在做的事。故选D。
5. F 根据段落主题句“Take notes and write things down.”可知，本段介绍的提高记忆力的方法是记笔记。根据空后的“By combining memorization with the act of writing, it helps your brain commit the information to memory.”可知，F项“记忆完全是在大脑中进行的，而书写则是一种身体行为”符合语境。F项中的“memorization”和“writing”是关键词。故选F。

Helpful Ways to Deal with a Know-It-All Friend
Sometimes having a friend who thinks he knows everything and always offers his unsolicited (未经要求的) advice can really make one upset. But with some ways, you can easily cope with that friend. Also a know-it-all friend often acts as if he were the best. 1
Try to understand. There may be a reason why your know-it-all friend does so. Maybe he has low self-esteem, or he’s not happy in his life. 2 This tip is very important, especially if the know-it-all is your best friend.
Give him a little attention. Giving a little attention is one of the best ways to deal with a know-it-all friend. Show some enthusiasm for what the know-it-all friend says to give him enough attention. 3 Or this can lead to his giving more unsolicited advice.
4 Often the know-it-all friend can say some not-so-nice things, and these things are usually about you. Never take his comments and advice personally. If you do so, you may really begin to become unnecessarily anxious.
Have a talk with him. If you’re sick and tired of all the unsolicited advice, come right out with it. Speak politely and don’t insult him. Try to find a good time to talk to him. 5 Tell your know-it-all friend how it makes you feel and maybe he will respond well.
A. Feel free to ignore him all the time.
B. Don’t take his comments personally.
C. However, make sure you don’t overdo it.
D. Try not to go to those places where you think he’ll be.
E. If you have such a friend, here are a few tips on coping with him.
F. Try to understand him and understand why he acts the way that he does.
G. You need to know what you’re going to say and be sure to use only kind words.
