Question

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 information 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 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember over 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 day.

◆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.

【解析】

試題分析：本文提供了6條提高記憶力的建議。1.學了新的東西要馬上用；2.化整為零；3.反復多寫；4.多復習；5.和朋友討論；6.不要告訴自己的記憶力差。

1.歸納理解題。根據Here are some suggestions.下面的◆提供的6條建議可知，選D。

2.推理判斷題，根據Hi! I'm Carlos 和Repeat the person's name.可知，要重復人的名字，所以說Hello, Carlos.故選A。

3.細節理解題。根據Break a big number into smaller parts.可知，長的號碼可以分成幾個小部分，這樣容易記住。故選B。

4.推理判斷題，根據It is always easier to remember things through discussions. 可知，和朋友討論會使人記得更清楚。Always reviewing information有助于記憶，不是有助于睡眠；經常寫一寫公式和一些事實有助于長期記憶，和了解大腦無關；多用腦記憶力才會好，用電腦不動腦，記憶力也會差，所以排除其他選項，選A。

5.句意理解題。根據最后一個建議可知，記憶力只要經常用就能不斷改善，要有自信，故選D。
