    With so much information available in books and online, it's easy  (learn) a few new facts each day. But how much of that do you  (actual) remember? your answer is not much, here is the good news. Scientists at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, recently designed a new typeface (字体)  was invented with read-it-and-forget-it people  mind. Very appropriately, it's called Sans Forgetica.

    The idea behind Sans Forgetica is simple. The typeface is a tiny bit  (difficulty) to read, which  (mean) your brain has to work twice as hard to understand what it says. Because of that deeper focus, you'll have a better memory for whatever you're reading. That's not just a theory, either. The typeface was created by a team of  (researcher) from RMIT University's School of Design and its Behavioural Business Lab. The group worked with a famous typographer Stephen Banham to test and improve  (they) product.

    The typeface uses principles of cognitive psychology to create an effect  (know) as desirable difficulty, the researchers note, which causes the brain to take part in deeper cognitive processing. The result is improved memory.

    There was once a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}distinguish king whose name was Tamerlane. Like Alexander the Great, he wished to become one of the masters of the whole world. So he raised a great army and made war on other countries. He conquered many kings and occupied many cities. But with his army{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (beat) at last, Tamerlane escaped alone from the field of battle, looking{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(misery)

    For a long time he wandered in fear from place to place. His enemies were looking for him. He was about to lose all hope. One day lying under a tree, he thought of his failure. Feeling discouraged, he supposed that he couldn't carry on any longer. Suddenly he saw a small object climbing up the trunk (树干) of the tree. He looked more closely and saw an ant and a grain of wheat{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(carry) by it.

There was a hole in the tree only a little way above, and that was the home of the ant. “You are brave, Mr.Ant,” he said, “but you are carrying something that is too heavy for you.” Just as he spoke, the ant lost its footing and fell to the ground. But it still held on to the grain of wheat. Tamerlane watched the little insect. It tried the second time. The twentieth time—but always{#blank#}5{#/blank#}vain. “I am{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (awful) sorry for you.” Tamerlane thought. He had some doubt {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the ant could succeed or not. Then it tried the twenty-first time. Slowly, one little step at a time, it climbed across the rough place at{#blank#}8{#/blank#}it had fallen so often. The next minute it climbed safely into its home, carrying the grain of wheat. His constant efforts paid off. “Well done!” said Tamerlane, “you've taught me a lesson. I, too, will try, try again, till I succeed.” He {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(set) about reorganizing his army. And at last he realized his ambition{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(defeat) once or twice doesn't matter too much. What matters much is to lose heart forever.
