How can we have a better memory Here are several ways.
◆ Pay attention to the power of repetition.It will be easier to remember.
◆ Remember information actively with the help of tools, like flashcards.
◆ Connect the new information with what you have learned.For example, when you learn the word “textbook”, connect it with “text” and “book”.
◆ Work in small groups to share knowledge, or take part in online discussions.
◆ Do experiments (实验)by yourself, especially when learning chemistry and physics.They help you get a deeper and stronger memory.
56.(　　)What can we learn from the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve

It’s a common belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds.It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them.A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.
In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory.But there was no clear evidence until the latest findings.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, 　it　 also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains (容纳)safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger, ” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel close to them—they may remember who you are.
59.(　　)What did the study from MacEwan University show
①Fish can remember things for longer than seven seconds.
②Fish would fight for food with others.
③Fish could remember where they first got food after some time.
④Fish could sleep with their eyes open.
A.①② B.③④
C.①③ D.②④
60.(　　)What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.A living place. B.A good memory.
C.Special food. D.The environment.
61.(　　)Where does this article probably come from
A.A storybook. B.A science magazine.

New research coming out of Tohoku University suggests that wasabi is good for the ability to remember.Wasabi, a spicy green paste(酱), is eaten in small amounts in sushi and along with other Japanese dishes.It is made from the wasabi plant, a member of the mustard(芥菜)family.
A recent study tested people between the ages of sixty and eighty.Some of the test subjects took a wasabi extract nightly before going to bed.The other test subjects were given a 　placebo　.After three months, the people who took the wasabi extract had significantly better results in short-term and long-term memory tests.The placebo-takers did not show any improvement.Wasabi was already known to contain an antioxidant (抗氧化剂)and anti-inflammatory (抗炎物)called 6-MSITC that is rare in other plants.The researchers think that 6-MSITC might affect the hippocampus (海马体)in our brains, the area that is responsible for memory function.They will continue researching with the hope that wasabi can help people that are experiencing dementia(痴呆).
This new research seems to be good news for sushi-eaters, but most wasabi that is served in Japan is not real wasabi.Instead, it is white horseradish, a plant whose root has a strong taste like the wasabi plant.Often it has been dyed green so people are likely to regard it as real wasabi, not only from taste but also from colour.Real wasabi is difficult to grow and, as a result, is very expensive.It also needs to be grated(磨碎)and served immediately before being eaten.
62.(　　)According to Paragraph 1, what is “wasabi”
A.It is a member of the mustard family.
B.It is a green plant with a spicy taste.
C.It is an eatable paste with a strong taste.
D.It is a kind of Japanese dish.
63.(　　)What does the underlined word “placebo” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Replacement. B.Power.
C.Treatment. D.Service.
64.(　　)What is the main focus of the researchers’ continued research on wasabi
A.To discover new antioxidants in wasabi.
B.To study the 6-MSITC found in wasabi.
C.To check the possible benefits of wasabi for people with dementia.
D.To understand the structure of the hippocampus in people’s brain.
65.(　　)What is the best title for the passage
A.The Health Benefits of Sushi
B.Wasabi：A Memory-improving Item
C.The Science Behind Japanese Dishes
D.The Truth About Wasabi in Japan

The human brain is very small and light (only 2% of our total body weight), but it needs about 20% of the oxygen that our body takes in.We can’t think well if our brain isn’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there’s enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something!
No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory.Here are some suggestions.None of them can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful.
●When you want to remember something, tell someone about it.This way the new information becomes easier to remember.Later on, just thinking about the conversation will remind you of the thing.
● 　 ▲　.If you want to remember something, try going to sleep right after learning it.
●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts.It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller parts：198-756-430-387.
●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry.Just relax and try again later.
●One of the best ways of remembering things is to make “pictures” in your mind—and it’s fun, too! Scientists say that our brain works a lot in pictures.So sometimes, if we want to buy many things including bread, flowers, gloves, a notebook, and oil, just make up a crazy story with them as you like：
Lisa was hungry and was looking for some BREAD.She opened the fridge, and saw it was full of FLOWERS.She decided to put on her GLOVES and leave the house.But she tripped over her NOTEBOOK and fell on a bottle of OIL...
Let yourself be surprised by your memory!
66.(　　)For a good memory, what does the writer first talk about the importance of
A.A big brain. B.Strong light.
C.Enough oxygen. D.Proper body weight.
67.(　　)Which of the following may be helpful for you to remember things according to the passage
A. B. C. D.
68.(　　)What is the purpose of the example of the story about Lisa
A.To show why going shopping is fun.
B.To show how important it is to be creative.
C.To show how pictures help improve memory.
D.To show why we should learn to draw pictures.
69.(　　)Which of the following is the best to fill in the 　 ▲　 in Tip 2
A.Our memory works well when we are asleep.
B.Our memory will be improved if we are healthy.
C.If you want to remember something, just go to bed.
D.The earlier you go to bed, the better memory you will have.
70.(　　)What’s the text mainly about
A.How to improve our sleep habit.
B.How to get more oxygen for our memory.
C.How to remember important things.
D.How to improve our memory.

阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Remember to eat fruits and vegetables.They might just improve your memory.
Scientists have found out several kinds of products—including vegetables which have green leaves, orange and red vegetables, berries and orange juice, are good for memory.
Researchers at Harvard University have found that men who insist on eating those fruits and vegetables over a period of 20 years were more likely to have better memory skills than those who seldom eat them.The study followed about 27,800 men in health care jobs over 20 years, and surveyed them on their diets and other health-related topics every four years.
Toward the end of the study, the researchers started asking them questions about their memory.For example, “Do you have more trouble than usual remembering a short list of things, such as a shopping list ” or “Do you have more trouble than usual following a group conversation or a story in a TV program because of your memory ” “A growing number of ‘yes’ answers to such questions can mean their memory is going down,” the researchers said.
The participants (参与者)were divided into five groups, based on how many servings (分量)of vegetables and fruits they got each day, from six servings in the healthiest group to just two servings.The six-serving eaters were 34 percent less likely to be forgetful.And the results were even better if the men happened to eat carotenoid (类胡萝卜素)-rich vegetables, such as carrots and pumpkins.Besides, those who drank orange juice often were 47 percent less likely to become forgetful, compared with those who drank orange juice less than once a month.
“Our study provides further evidence that diet choices can be important to keep your brain healthy,” researchers said.
