There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain (大脑) to develop (发展). When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to (注意) the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce (减少) your chances (机会) of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain keeps memory. Not enough sleep can cause (引起) problems with keeping information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.
In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal, health checks are both important as well—not just for improving your memory.

Studying abroad can be a difficult experience, so you had better remember the following things.
You can not completely (完全) enter another country if not leaving your home behind. When you are abroad, do not always speak on your mobile phone to people at home or spend too much time on the Internet.
If you want to learn the language, you have to practise it. Because practice makes perfect.
If you have made a choice to study in a foreign country, forget your pride (骄傲) and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It is natural for anyone to make mistakes when learning a new language. This is how we learn.
Be 10 times more polite than usual. People are more likely to be helpful and patient if you are nice and polite. If you are staying with a family, make sure to clean the room and make your bed, and always be polite when talking to them.

Height is just one of the thousands of features that your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then maybe you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.
Maybe you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no right answer. Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time they start puberty(青春期) .
Your doctor will know how your growth (生长) has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don’t be worried if you have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a very quick growth during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later —between 7 and 13 for girls, 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to find that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _______.
A.you should have enough exercise |
B.you can ask doctors for help |
C.you should protect the environment |
D.you can record your growth during puberty |
This passage is mainly about _______.
A.how the genes work in your body |
B.when the time you grow fast is |
C.why you look like your parents |
D.how you grow to a certain (某一) height |
After reading this passage, we can explain (解释) _______.
A.how good it is to be a doctor |
B.how much sleep we need |
C.why genes can’t decide everything |
D.what an unhealthy diet is |
