How good is your memory? 记忆力对每个人都很重要，你的记忆力如何呢？研究表明“五官齐下”会让我们的记忆更轻松哦！ Memory is important for learning and thinking. But do you know how people remember, and how they use and improve their memories? People have different abilities to remember. Stress(压力), fatigue(疲劳), emotional(情感的) problems, and illness can decrease a person’s ability to remember. General good health contributes to(有助于) good memory. Practice also improves memory. For example, the more maths facts you learn, the easier maths facts are to learn. The same is true with music. The more songs you listen to and learn, the easier it becomes. People gather and remember information in different ways. Some people remember colours or smells or sounds very well. Some people find it easier to remember spoken words while others remember printed words easily. Why is it easier for people to remember some things and more difficult for them to remember other things? It’s easier to remember things that have emotional meaning to us. It’s also easier to remember information that we practise and use a lot. Repetition reinforces memory; the more we repeat something, the better we remember it. Some people have very visual memories. That is, they remember things they see. In fact, it is often easier to remember information that comes to us through more than one of our five senses. True(T) or False(F). ( )1. If we practise and use the information, we will remember it easily. ( )2. If we want to remember something, we must use all of our five senses. 1. a long time ago 很久以前 2. get old 上了年纪 3. go wrong 出毛病；发生故障 4. lose one’s memory 失忆 5. hear about 听说；得知 6.be in hospital 生病住院 7.be angry with 对……生气 8.for example 例如 9.be connected to 与……相关连 根据上下文意思用以上短语完成下面的小短文，注意其适当形式。 Xiaoling’s grandma’s memory As we know, most elderly people can remember things from (1)__________________.
