新目标(Go for it)版初中英语九年级下学期Unit 12 Life is full ofthe unexpected. 自主检测(含小段音频)
We all remember the things we are interested in, and always forget the ones that bore us. This explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results easily but struggle(挣扎) with dates from their history lessons! Develop an active interest in what you want to remember.
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time. For example, remember a phone number for a few seconds. Grouping numbers may help you to remember them. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483.
To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. When they were tested later, they could remember about 90% of them.
Physical exercise is important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate(心率) and sends more oxygen(氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also lowers stress. As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory.
A. Invent a story. B. Take physical exercise. C. Take an interest. D. Repeat things in chunks(块). |

My name is Bob. I am 16 years old now. I've felt lonely since I was 9. I didn't like my classmates, my parents or anyone else. My classmates didn't want to talk with me and my parents were always saying that other kids were better than me. One day I had a big fight with one of my classmates. I was so angry that I hit him on the face. Just at that moment, a boy stood up and stopped the fight. He was the monitor of our class.
After that, he often helped me and we became good friends. Whenever I got angry or sad, he would help me to cool down. We spent a lot of interesting days together and became best friends. As time goes by, I have become happier with people and things. And it seems that people around me have changed, too.
