Question

    The human brain is very small and light only two percent of our total body weight, but it needs about 20% of the oxygen(氧气) that our body takes in. We can't think well if our brain isn't getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something. No one can remember everything. but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some suggestions ---none of them can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful.

When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will remind you of the information you wanted to remember.   

Don't over-train your brain. When you've remembered a list of new words, stop studying. It's better to study a lot of material for a small amount of time than a small amount of material for a lot of time! But remember you do have to practice your new words regularly!

Our memory works well when we are asleep. If you want to remember something, go to bed and go to sleep right now after learning it. 

If you have to remember something big, divide it into small parts. It's easier to remember 198756430387 if you divide it into four smaller bits:198-756-430-387.

If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can't, don't get angry. Relax and tell yourself, "If it's important, I will remember it later.”

One of the best ways of remembering is to make pictures on the movie-screen of your mind and it's fun, too! Scientists say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes, if we want to remember new information, it helps to make a picture story. Anyone can learn to do this.

【解析】

没有人能记住一切。但是每个人都可以学习如何提高记忆力。文章介绍了如何提供记忆力的几种方法：把想记住的东西告诉你的朋友；不要过度训练你的大脑；学习完就上床睡觉；把 一些大的东西分成小的部分来记；记不住信息时不能着急要放松；在你脑海形成类似电影屏幕上图片。

1.推理判断题。根据第一段“The human brain is very small and light only two percent of our total body weight,”，可知“人脑很小，只只占我们体重的百分之二”，如果体重50公斤大脑的重量是50公斤*2%=1公斤；故选C。

2.推理判断题。根据 文中“第二段When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it.；第三段Don't over-train your brain；第四段go to bed and go to sleep right now after learning it；.第五段 If you have to remember something big, divide it into small parts；第六段If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can't, don't get angry. Relax and tell yourself；第七段One of the best ways of remembering is to make pictures on the movie-screen of your mind and it's fun "”，可知提高记忆的方法有“把想记住的东西告诉你的朋友；不要过度训练你的大脑；学习完就上床睡觉；把 一些大的东西分成小的部分来记；记不住信息时不能着急要放松；在你脑海形成类似电影屏幕上图片”等六种，故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段“When you've remembered a list of new words, stop studying. …But remember you do have to practice your new words regularly!”，可知“当记了很多的新词后应该休息，然后定期练习。”，故选A。

4.推理判断题。根据第四段“Our memory works well when we are asleep.”，可知“我们睡觉时记忆力很好。”，所以A表述错误；根据第五段“If you have to remember something big, divide it into small parts.”，可知“如果你必须记住一些大的东西，把它分成小的部分。”所以B表述正确；根据第七段“7One of the best ways of remembering is to make pictures on the movie-screen of your mind”，可知“把词变成图片更容易记住”，所以C表述错误；故选B。

5.主旨大意题。本篇介绍了如何提供记忆力的几种方法：把想记住的东西告诉你的朋友；不要过度训练你的大脑；学习完就上床睡觉；把 一些大的东西分成小的部分来记；记不住信息时不能着急要放松；在你脑海形成类似电影屏幕上图片；故选C。
