江苏省昆山市鹿峰中学2017-2018学年八年级下学期英语期末测试试卷(音频暂未更新)
People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word "mouth". But some of them are not so nice.
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person's feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn't mean to tell. The speaker might say: "I really put my foot in my mouth this time."
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: "You took the words right out of my mouth!" Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience "left a bad taste in my mouth." Or the person possibly has a very frightening(可怕的)experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: "I had my heart in my mouth."
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person "was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth". He is the opposite of a person living from "hand to mouth". This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.
My good memory is often seen as something that we are thirsty for, while a bad memory as something that can hardly be changed. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ,. Here are some tips(贴士) for you.
◆ Take an interest
We all remember the things we are interested in, and always forget the ones that bore us. This explains the reason why school boys remember football results easily but struggle(挣扎)with dates from their history lessons! Develop an active interest in what you want to remember. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
◆ Repeat things in chunks(块).
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things in a short time, for example, remembering a long number for a few seconds. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But divide them into "groups" or "chunks", and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483.
◆ {#blank#}4{#/blank#} .
It's another good way to make up 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. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A. Make up a story. B. Take physical exercise. C. The test result was really amazing! D. Grouping numbers may help you to remember them. E. As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory. F. In fact, there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory. G. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions — the more, the better! |
