内蒙古赤峰二中2018-2019学年高一上学期英语第二次月考试卷
Keeping the memory in shape is important at any age, but it requires a bit more work as we grow. There are some simple activities that can improve your memory.
Awaken your senses.
Use your senses to help your memory store(储存) needed information.You can ask yourself like this: Is the sky a light blue or deep purple? The more involved(参与的) you can be in the information, the easier it is for your brain to store it.
Use imagination and relation.
Trying to remember names? Let's say you meet a man named Frank Parker.Tie the two together by picturing Frank dressed up in a hot dog costume(服装) parking his car in the parking lot. Now each time you see Frank, you should easily recall his name.
Breathe deeply and relax.
Relax, breathe deeply and slowly and let your mind ease up for a minute. Being relaxed makes it easier for information to be both stored and remembered.
When you come upon something you need to remember, say to yourself, "Hey, pay attention and remember this! "You are giving yourself a wake-up call as well as giving your mind a marker that it can use to help in storing the new information.
A. Give yourself an order.
B. Get a good night's sleep.
C. Here are four of them to get you started.
D. Picture a hot dog for Frank and a car for Parker.
E. For example, note the colors of a picture you want to remember.
F. When we try hard to remember something we often become nervous.
G. The way you live influences not only your physical health but also your memory.
If you'd love to be more eco-friendly but don't know where to begin, start with a few small changes. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Adjust your thermostat（恒温器）to save on heating and cooling costs. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}In summer, set your thermostat to 78 ℉when you're at home and raise the temperature when you're away. In winter, turn your thermostat to 68 ℉ and lower it by 5°-10° when you're sleeping or out of your house. To stay warm in winter, put on a sweater or another layer instead of turning up the thermostat.
Turn off lights and unplug power strips that you're not using. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Some devices can still use energy even when they're turned off. So, turn off the power strips at night to completely cut off energy use. If you need to leave your computer or TV on, try setting it to sleep mode.
Make your taps and toilets low-flow. Cut back on water waste by installing flow restrictor(节流装置) inside your taps and installing a low-flow shower head in your bathroom. This can save 3 to 4 gallons of water for every minute. If you're replacing a toilet, look for a low-flow one to save thousands of gallons of water a year. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Adjust your washing machine to use cold water instead of warm. Since more energy is spent drying the clothes, skip the machine and hang your washed clothes on a clothesline. If you don't have space for a clothesline or can't hang clothes outside, set up a clothes drying rack that you can use inside. Try running your clothes through an extra spin cycle to remove even more water from the clothes. This will make them dry quicker.
A. Replace burned out light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. B. By doing some small things at home, you can easily reduce your carbon footprint. C. Remember to fix leaky taps or toilets as soon as you notice water dripping. D. Choose sustainable options when you purchase things that are normally packaged in plastic. E. This is an easy way to reduce energy use. F. Use less energy during summer months and winter by controlling your heating and cooling bills. G. Wash your clothes with cold water and line dry them. |
