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 (记忆) 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.[来源:学_科_网]
◆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.

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I

nor clearly. “I’m a foreigner”, I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I still could not understand him. My teacher in

参考范文
At
present,
only
a few
students
do
some
reading
after
class.
Here
are
several
reasons.
First of all, quite
a lot of students are busy with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed the habit of reading.
They would rather spend their spare time on TV or on the Internet.
However, reading is very important. By reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it can
help us develop the way of thinking. Last but not least, reading can make our life more colorful.
There is still something we can do to help the students read more books. For one thing, teachers are
supposed to cut down our homework so that we can have more time to read. For another, it’s a good
idea to build reading clubs so that students can read more books.
