听力原文：(Text 11)

　　W：There are many ways in which the memory can be improved．In fact, I believe we all have the ability to remember up to six times more than we do．

　　A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful．For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper．

　　Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people．I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name．It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say, “What was your last name again, Sarah?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name．

　　Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one, stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best．

　　Finally, take care of yourself physically．Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs, because they dull the mind．And don’t forget your vitamins－B1 and B2 are particularly good for the memory．
