15、 things, so they decided to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help
16、them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?Before the old man left, she added, Why dont you write that down so you wont forget? Nonsense, said the
17、 husband, I can remember a dish of ice cream!Well, said the wife, Id also like some strawberries on it. Youd better write that down because I know your memory is failing.Dont be silly, replied the husband. Therere only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that
18、!With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, Hey, you forgot the toast! 原文3There are many techniques you can use to improve your memor
19、y. Some of them are introduced here.Rrst and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to d
20、eal with a computer; if you work with sales, learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that it continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Dont try to memorize everything that catches your
21、 attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its 8lor, and so on. Dont allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating on that pen.
22、Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous. So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a persons nam
23、e, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his name.The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeA) Factors related to memory development.C B) The importance of food in memorization.C C) The important role of a good memory.C D) The misery caused by a poor memory.A2.CA)They contai

Here are some facto
36、rs they believe to be important in expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential for your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that
37、synthesized vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Rosewell, lack of water in the body has an immed
38、iate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a good memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the
39、information one has received. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken ones ability to concentrate. Also, ones ability to store information would be affected.原文2You just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, This is Don Smith. About 5 mi
40、nutes later, you tell your wife that this guy will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You cant think of his name although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the tim
41、e we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your memory bank each time you hear someones name, and within a short time the repeating process can be discontinued.When you meet someone in person, use the sam
42、e procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about his/her appearance, position, or actions that ties in with his/her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name on the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the pict
43、ure in your minds eye as you look at the name; or when you see the name, visualize the picture you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.Unit2On the First DaySeeing that Jenny ha
