【4】D

【5】G

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，作者给我们提出了一些改善记忆的方法。

【1】考查对上下文语境的理解。本段的内容为：如果你说类似的话，你就会把这个想法放在心里，而这就可能是真的了。你要告诉自己，只要自己努力记，就能记住。也就是说，不要暗示自己记不住，一定要给自己积极的心理暗示。故B（不要总是说你记忆不好。 ）符合上下文。故选B。

【2】考查对上下文语境的理解。联系下文的“If you remember them in smaller groups, like two or three digits(数字), it will also be much easier to remember the number.”可知，作者建议我们用两三个数字这样的小群体来记忆数字。故选A。

【3】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前句意：如果你真的失去记忆，要去看医生。糟糕的记忆可能是你情绪低落的迹象。故这里E（如果是这样的话，治疗可能是你记忆恢复的关键。）符合上下文，故选E。

【4】考查对上下文语境的理解。空格前谈到，任何涉及记忆事物的游戏都能帮我们提高记忆。空格后又指出，当你没有别的更好的事情可做时，你可以尝试着记忆这个。可以推知，空格处说的是如果不喜欢玩游戏，也可以做其他的事情，故D（如果不喜欢游戏，你可以检查一下要做的事情的清单。）符合上下文，故选D。

【5】考查对上下文语境的理解。作者在空格前的句子中建议我们做一些和字谜有关的游戏，空格后面指出这些游戏的结果（不仅能改善记忆而且很有趣），可知空格处是对字谜作用的说明，故G（类似的游戏使用了跟记忆事实相同的技能，有助于我们保持思维的敏捷。）符合上下文，故选G。
