①Do you want to have a better memory When we study, we often hope what we learn can stay in our minds. Here are some useful ways to improve our memory.
②According to experts, we can learn things better if we wait for a while before studying them again. After some time of forgetting, trying to recall what we learned will make it easier to remember in the future.
③Studies show that taking a short break and doing nothing after studying can also help us remember things better. We don’t know exactly why this happens. Maybe it has something to do with the relationship between long-term and short-term memory.
④Another study tip is to change between different topics as you study. This can help us connect different ideas. Jonathan Hancock, a former world memory champion, says that imagining pieces of information in different places or connecting them with memorable pictures can make them easier to remember. This can help you make connections between different ideas.
⑤Many other experts also suggest that we should get enough rest and exercise. For example, getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night can help our brains consolidate (巩固) memories. Things like jogging, swimming, and cycling can make more blood (血液) flow to our brains. More blood means more oxygen (氧气) and nutrients (营养) for our brain cells. This can make our brains work better and help us remember things better.
⑥Improving our memory is not easy, but we can do something about it.
25. According to experts, what can help us learn things better
A. Studying continuously without breaks.
B. Waiting for a while before studying again.
C. Imagining information in memorable pictures only.

C
In ancient China, during the Warring States period, Shang Yang wanted to carry out reforms (改革) in the State of Qin. But he worried that people didn’t trust (信任) him. So, he came up with a clever plan.
One day, he placed a long wooden pole at the south gate of the capital city. Then, he announced that anyone who could move the pole to the north gate would be rewarded (奖赏) with ten pieces of gold. People gathered around, looking at the pole unbelieving. They thought it was too easy a task for such a large reward, so no one stepped forward.
Shang Yang then increased the reward to fifty pieces of gold. Finally, a man decided to give it a try. He moved the pole to the north gate without much effort (努力). True to his word, Shang Yang gave the man fifty pieces of gold.
This event spread quickly throughout the state. People realized that Shang Yang was a man of his word. After that, when Shang Yang introduced his reforms, people were willing to follow him. These reforms made the State of Qin much stronger.

Now, glasses have become a daily necessity for some of us. So, what do you know about them No one knows who made the first wearable pair of glasses, but experts do know that they were made in the 13th century and showed up in Italy.
Early glasses were like magnifying glasses (放大镜). And most of them weren’t even made of glass! Instead, many early eyeglasses contained quartz (石英). That’s because most glass at that time was not clear, so it wouldn’t have worked well for eyeglasses.
Eyeglasses didn’t look much like modern glasses until the 1700s. That’s when people added temples (镜腿) to hold glasses on their faces. Glasses also became much more common around this time, probably because reading became more popular.
People didn’t start seeing eye doctors for glasses until the 1800s. At that time, they just tried on different pairs of glasses until they found one that made their eyesight better. Eye doctors changed that. They gave an eye test for people to tell whether or not they needed a pair of glasses.
Different kinds of glasses have also appeared. People in China started wearing sunglasses in the 12th century. These early sunglasses were also made of quartz. Today, many people also like to wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜), which were invented by a German in 1887. The first contact lenses were very uncomfortable. Luckily, today’s lenses are softer and can be worn all day. However, you should always take your contact lenses out at night. Some people even like to wear glasses with no lenses. Called fashion glasses, they come in many shapes and sizes to fit anyone’s personal style.
33. What can we know about the early glasses in paragraph 2
A. They were made by Indians. B. They were all made of glass.
C. They first showed up in India. D. They were like magnifying glasses.
34. What happened to glasses in the 1700s
A. People in China started to wear sun glasses.
B. People started to see eye doctors for glasses.
C. People added temples to hold glasses on the face.
D. Eyeglasses didn’t look much like modern glasses.
35. How many kinds of glasses are mainly introduced in paragraph 5
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
36. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The history of glasses. B. Different uses of glasses.
C. The importance of glasses. D. The ways to choose glasses.
