Memory is very important for life. A memory 　36 　something you remember. Many people think that memory is connected with our 　37　 . For example, if someone says, “This is a crab,” and then 　38　 a large crab on your hand, you will 　39 　remember the word “crab”! When something 　40　 　happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.

　　　　 Scientists believe that there are three kinds of memory-immediate, short-term and 　41　 . When people get older, the short-term memory becomes 　42　 　, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago.

　　　　　　　 There is one way to　 43　 your memory. If you want to remember something, you must make a picture in your 　44　 . If the picture is silly, strange and funny, you will remember it better. For example, I am trying to remember the word “smiles”. An easy way to do this is to　 45　 there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.

　　　　　　　 You can help yourself remember things by keeping a diary. Healthy food and plenty of vitamins can make our memory more efficient.
