Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world.
Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store. Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it’s meaningful to you (an example is data 数据 about family and friends. ) And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.
Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One thing’s for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.
Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the word to something you already know.

to read rapidly. Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have
been strongly asked to break those which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions.
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4) Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold
your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips
move, you will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with
your right hand. Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head,
place your chin (下巴)in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的).
If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take
in more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the fast
reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance. Read in thought groups and force (强迫) your eyes
along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able
to read faster.
B. to feel whether your lips move or not
C. to hold a piece of paper between them
D. to keep yourself from talking to others
