The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don"t forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don"t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new informati6n immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I"m Carlos," don"t just say "Hello." Repeat the person"s name. Say"____"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it"s hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember ever and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you"ve learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what"s right and what"s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone"s memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

举一反三


The willful blindness  in hockey toward concussions (头部撞击) has dropped. Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking (身体拦截) below age 13. A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey"s greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere. This country"s children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change. The liking for bodychecking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is.
The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill development in an environment free of danger.  It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don"t enjoy that environment.
For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that bodychecking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages. True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries. When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created bodychecking-education programs that will be mandatory(强制的) for all coaches,  including those teaching players in  the pre-checking ages. And it began to encourage more "touch" - without real bodychecking - from 9 t0 12. It also made the rules for 13 and up stricter. The USA is trying to show that it"s possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting11 and 12-year-olds in greater danger. It"s worth the try.
Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head. However, it"s hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country. Too often, bodychecking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball. Children were paying a price for this country"s love of the game.
There are always changes in Canada"s game, and the change in the bodychecking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的) in the game.
小题1:We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in Canada____________.
A.is controlled strictly
B.is taken more seriously now
C.is caused by players" carelessness
D.is connected with players" interest
小题2:What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2?
A.The safe ways of controlling the loss.
B.The steps of drawing special attention.
C.The possible results of changing the rules.
D.The methods of improving the environment.
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
A. The USA found a safer way to teach bodychecking.
B. Bodychecking-education programs in the USA are successful.
C. Bodychecking is a good way to value players" skills in the USA.
D. The USA has tried to create an environment of less bodychecking.
小题4:What is probably the best title" for this passage?
A.Which is more important?
B.How do we change the rules?
C.Why is hockey a dangerous game?
D.When should bodychecking be prevented?

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The benefits of learning other languages.
B.The reasons why people come to America.
C.The importance of learning English.
D.How to learn another language.

A.discuss the need for teaching a new language
B.introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers
C.describe the advantages of moving to another country
D.show the problems of speaking only one language
小题3:The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 5) means “people who know ______.”
A.their mother languageB.a new language
C.more than one languageD.body language
小题4:According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can____.
A.find a better job
B.make more friends
C.better understand history
D.communicate more independently
小题5:Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
