Looking around，she saw a grandma doll﹣one with gray and a pair of glasses．As she gazed at it，
in her mind somehow appeared Linda，her mother．
When Rita was a little girl，she got her first doll form Linda for her birthday．She was very
happy．Then the second，the third…，Rita began to feel puzzled，When she asked her mum the
reason，the answer was always“A girl can never have enough dolls．”Year after year，Rita grew up
and Linda aged，but a doll a year from Linda never arrived late．
“But why always a doll？”This question had been in Rita’s mind until one day her father gave the
answer．
Little Linda dreamed to have a doll．Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday．Sadly，they
both died in a traffic accident before it arrived．The never﹣received gift was the most precious*in
her eyes．That’s why she thought dolls were the best birthday gifts for Rita．
Her mother’s story being recalled，Rita got an idea…

37．（8分）（2014•温州）Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study，
work and life．Can memory be improved？Luckily，hundreds of studies in the past 50years have
already given us a definite*answer．
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp．First of all，it is necessary to have
a healthy diet．Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E，such as vegetables and lean
meat，helps you have a better memory．Doing exercise can keep your brain alive，too．Proper
exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain．Running，riding a bike，swimming and even
walking two or three times a week are helpful．Moreover，getting enough sleep is important．Only
when your brain gets a good rest，can it work well．The healthier your lifestyle is，the better your
memory will become，but do not expect a sudden change﹣﹣﹣it takes a long time to make a
difference．
Memory skills help you remember things better．The following three are the most widely
used．Chunking*is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller
ones．For example，to memorize a ten﹣﹣digit telephone number 2127983630，you can divide the
digits into three groups：first 212，then 798，and lastly 3630．This method is far more effective than
remembering a string*of 10digits．Organization means organizing information into groups of the
the same kind．For example，trees，grass and flowers are plants； tigers，panadas，horses and
cows are animals，Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination
and connecting it with something that you are familiar with．
However，memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information．What’s more，
only a regular review can make the memory last long．That is why students are always advised to
go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days，and then use it as regularly
as possible．
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger．If you make a
few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills，you can certainly improved your memory．
37．How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage？
A．wo B．Three C．Four D．Five
38．Which of the following examples is the use of the skill“organization”？
A．Remembering the word“sad”by putting it into the group of“feeling”
B．Remembering the meaning of the word“red”by connecting it with fire
C．Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning．
D．Remembering the post number 0708591by diving it into 070and 8571
39．According to the passage，why should we review what we’ve learnt？A．To use it better every day
B．To understand it in a better way
C．To improve memory skills
D．To remember it for a longer time
40．The passage is written to tell us
A．not everyone has a good memory
B．memory skills are not difficult to learn
C．memory can be improved in some ways
D．it is important to have a healthy lifestyle．

37．（8分）（2014•温州）Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study，
work and life．Can memory be improved？Luckily，hundreds of studies in the past 50years have
already given us a definite*answer．
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp．First of all，it is necessary to have
a healthy diet．Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E，such as vegetables and lean
meat，helps you have a better memory．Doing exercise can keep your brain alive，too．Proper
exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain．Running，riding a bike，swimming and even
walking two or three times a week are helpful．Moreover，getting enough sleep is important．Only
when your brain gets a good rest，can it work well．The healthier your lifestyle is，the better your
memory will become，but do not expect a sudden change﹣﹣﹣it takes a long time to make a
difference．
Memory skills help you remember things better．The following three are the most widely
used．Chunking*is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller
ones．For example，to memorize a ten﹣﹣digit telephone number 2127983630，you can divide the
digits into three groups：first 212，then 798，and lastly 3630．This method is far more effective than
remembering a string*of 10digits．Organization means organizing information into groups of the
the same kind．For example，trees，grass and flowers are plants； tigers，panadas，horses and
cows are animals，Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination
and connecting it with something that you are familiar with．
However，memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information．What’s more，
only a regular review can make the memory last long．That is why students are always advised to
go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days，and then use it as regularly
as possible．
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger．If you make a
few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills，you can certainly improved your memory．

A．wo B．Three C．Four D．Five
