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.

Do you think your schoolwork is too hard? Do you feel you have too much homework? If you answer “yes”, you are in the same boat as most US kids. However, school life for them is about to get even harder.
A group of 13 states have decided to make their schools’ workload(工作量) much heavier, especially in math and English. Most students in US high schools work very hard. But it is not like in China, where almost all students have to work from early morning till late in the evening.
US students have a lot of freedom to decide how hard they should work. “Most students put in a lot of effort (努力), but some do almost nothing,” said Will Gordon, a teacher from North Carolina. “I think stricter rules will help those students who aren’t so focused (集中精神的).”
“For the most part, it’s good,” said Adam Jorve, 15, a student at Gordon’s school. “A lot of kids in public schools can hardly read when they graduate. However, for me, I wish I didn’t have the extra work.”

A. have a pleasant school life B. often go boating together

82. Compared with Chinese students, kids in the US ________.
A. have a much heavier workload B. don’t have to work from morning till night
C. spend more time on math and English D. have no time to relax themselves
