Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners，but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.

Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back，she couldn't remember where she'd put them.

Perhaps you've had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven't realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact： Memory can be improved. If you'll just accept that， the following will show you how.

First，relax. If you are over worried about remembering something，you'll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad，your mind will come to believe it and you won't remember things. When you forget something， don't follow up with sayings like“Oh，my God ! I always forget things !” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.

But relaxing isn't enough. To improve your memory，you'll need to take an active role. Like your body， your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities(机会)to exercise your memory. For example，if you're learning a language，try to actively remember a lot of new words.

If you don't take notice of things actively，you won't remember them. So， you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example，don't just put your keys down! If you want to find them again， make a mind picture of the place where you're putting them.

Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30 a. m. . When I arrived to collect，I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked，“Just a minute，”answered a weak，elderly voice. After a long pause(停顿)，the door opened. A small woman over eighty stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car， and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness.

“It's nothing ，” I told her . “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother

treated.”

“Oh，you're such a good man.”She said. When we got into the taxi，she gave me an address，and then asked，“Could you drive through downtown ?”

“It's not the shortest way，”I answered quickly.

“ Oh ， I'm in no hurry ， ” she said. “ I'm on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I can't live very long .”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).

For the next two hours，we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the furniture shop that had once been，a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness，saying nothing.

At dawn，she suddenly said，“I'm tired. Let's go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?” she asked.

“ Nothing .” I said.

“You have to make a living，”she answered.“Oh，there are other passengers，”I answered.

Almost without thinking， I bent and gave her a hug(拥抱). She held onto tightly. Our hug

ended with her remark，“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
