The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between human brains and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memories if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says " Hi! I'm Carlos. " Don't just say "hello". Repeat the person's name and say "Hello, Carlos”

Break a big number into small parts. For example, it's hard to remember 109244153. But if you break it into three parts-109/244/153, it will become easier.

Write down what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially when memorizing formulas(公式)or facts.

Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, it'll become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to, the new things you've learned that day.

Discuss with friends. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right or wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you am certain to improve your memory.

Bungee Jumping: People on some South Pacific (太平洋) islands have been bungee jumping for hundreds of years. In 1979, some people bungee jumped off a bridge in England and made the sport popular around the world. Bungee jumping came to China in 1996.

Skateboarding: At first, this sport was called "sidewalk surfing". Skateboarders often jump high into the air, go down steps or slide(滑动) down rails on their boards. They wear baggy trousers so they can move more freely.

Skydiving: This is the scariest(惊险的) extreme sport. Skydivers jump out of airplanes about four kilometers up in the sky. They usually fall freely for a while and then open a parachute to slow down for a safe landing.

Snowboarding: This became a winter Olympic sport in 1998. People tied their feet to the board with special shoes. They don't use any ski sticks. Then, they ride down hills, jump high and do tricks.
