How to improve your memory

There is no such thing as "bad memory",and everyone can improve their memory as long as they are not suffering from loss as a medical condition.1.

Stop thinking that you have a "bad memory".Convince yourself that you do have a good memory that will improve.Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves that their memory is bad,that they are just not good with names and numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason.2.

Use association（联想）to remember facts.3.For example,if you have a hard time remembering that JKF was the president involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion,just picture the handsome president swimming in an ocean surrounded by happy pigs.

Involve several scenes.You can stimulate（刺激）more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information.4.For example,the process of writing information by hand stimulates your brain and makes it easier to remember the information later.

5.By developing new mental skills,especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument,and challenging your brain with puzzles and games,you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological（生理学上的）function.

A.Exercise your brain as often as possible.

B.Give yourself some time to form a memory.

C.Erase those thoughts and promise to improve your memory.

D.To improve your memory,there are a number of things you can do.

E.You can create an image in your mind to help you remember something.

F.This concrete image in your mind will help you link the president with this event.

G.When a larger part of your brain is active,your ability to arouse your memory will increase.

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser．When such moments occur, don’t worry about them, Just continue as if nothing happened．

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech – “ I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumble（结巴）his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember．Why? Because you were fixing your attention on is message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition．But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers’ attractiveness by making him more human．

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect．Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely．

Why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock, such as divorce or death of a family member, seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness? One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed, many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events.

Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long-term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.

In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples(样本) taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these “invaders”. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about.

The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.

1.In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events ________.

A.started to suffer psychological problems

B.enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings

C.were less likely to seek treatment for sickness

D.couldn’t deal with suffering effectively

2.People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment ________.

A.had more bacteria and viruses in their blood

B.had decreased feelings of loneliness

C.showed an improved white cell reaction

D.did better in their writing tasks

3.What does the underlined word "invaders" refer to?

A.The white cells.

B.Bacteria and viruses.

C.Resistance to illness.

D.The reaction and sensitivity of the cells.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Suffering and Health

B.Inner Thoughts and Feelings

C.Illness and Health

D.Mental Illness and Social Acceptance

How to Improve Your English

Learning English is a continuous process. For tips on how to improve your English, read on.

Read English newspapers, books, and magazines. Reading is an active process that requires your brain to work. When learning a language, much is achieved by speaking, listening and writing. 1. When you read, you learn new words and will be able to use them.

2. After reading the daily papers, choose one or two articles that stood out among all those that you read, and write down your reactions to them. Read what you wrote afterwards, and check if you made any grammatical errors or would like to improve your work.

Read the book version of a movie that you have already seen. 3. Reading the book version means you will find it easier to understand and guess vocabulary, and you can remember it easily since the story is already familiar to you.

Teach English to children or friends. 4. This also holds true for the English language. When you share and teach English to others, you are able to practice. At the same time, you become more aware of your weak areas.

Use English every day. Whatever you are doing, from washing the dishes or taking out the garbage to going to work or to the gym, use English. Take out those new words that you learned and use them. Bring out those new idioms you came across and use them. 5. Learn how to use it in your daily life.

As you try to improve your English day by day, you will surely see improvements that are going to “make your day”.

A.Open your mouth.

B.Keep a news diary.

C.But reading is also a great help.

D.Listening to songs can help you improve your English.

E.The best way to improve something is by teaching it to others.

F.If the new knowledge stays inside your head and in your notebooks, it won’t come to life.

G.If you are not a serious book reader, reading a story that you are already familiar with will help you move along page by page.
