Memory plays a vital role in our lives， both in the short and long term. If youre wondering how to improve memory， here are some effective ways to do so.

Quiz Yourself

     1     . When you make flashcards， create a practice test， or cover the answers and quiz yourself， you are forcing yourself to face what you do and dont know and which memories are weaker than others. This forces you to practice your recall and strengthen your long term memory.

     2     

If youre not already taking exercise regularly， then heres another reason to do so： Exercising for 20-30 minutes three times a week will improve your long-term memory. Regular physical activities increase blood flow in your body and supplies the brain with extra oxygen and nutrients（營养）. A well-fed brain is a well-functioning brain！

Get Plenty of Sleep

If you dont get adequate sleep， then its likely that youre not able to remember well either.     3     . Sleeping helps our brains clear out some less important memories， which helps strengthen others. According to sleep experts， you need a minimum of seven to nine hours of sleep per night.     4     ， then within just a few days， youll see an obvious improvement to your ability to remember and recall things.

Take More Breaks

Typically， when studying lots of new information， most people will spend hours reading it in an attempt to learn and remember the content as quickly as possible.     5     . The truth is that the brain is built to detect and respond to change and prolonged（持久的）attention to a single task actually hinders（阻碍）performance. When you take a break from memorizing information， it refocuses your attention and energy， leading to increased focus overall.

A. Start working out

B. Challenge your brain

C. If you get this amount of shut-eye regularly

D. Unfortunately， theyve overlooked something

E. When you free yourself from the habit of oversleeping

F. This is because sleep and memory are closely connected

G. Periodically testing yourself to see what you remember is important

Conflict often happens between parents and young children. It is important to work on obtaining healthy communication with your parents.

Make time to have meaningful conversation

The newer generation often contact（联系）others through technology， such as text messages， online chats or emails.     1     . Although the older generation are catching on， most still prefer a personal conversation or phone call. Take the time to sit down and have a few minutes of communicating with them every day.

     2     

If a topic is important to you， bring it to your parents. Bottling up emotions（情緒）or annoyance can destroy the relationship which you have with them.     3     . Avoid getting trapped in the blame game. Allow time for them to answer and share how they feel.

Use the pause， empathy， or need method with your parents

     4     . If a certain talk with your parents is taking a turn for the worse， start by taking pause. Listen to your parentsneeds or wants and empathize（感同身受）with them. Inform them that you also have your own needs and wants. The next step is to express your perspectives and ask them to empathize with you too.

Dont just talk about the difficult objects

Talk to your parents about your everyday life and funny experiences. Encourage them to share how their day went.     5     . You dont want to talk to them only when you are faced with an issue. Regular communication about the less important things will make the difficult conversation much easier.

A. Avoid blaming each other

C. There is much less face-to-face contact

Powerful Body Language Tips

The effective use of body language plays a key role in communication. Here are some tips for powerful body language：

     1     

Research at Harvard and Columbia Business Schools shows that simply holding your body in wide， “high-power”poses（姿勢）（leaning back with hands behind the head， or standing with legs and arms stretched wide open）for just two minutes stimulates higher levels of hormone（激素）linked to power and dominance.     2     

To increase participation， look like youre listening.

If you want people to speak up， dont multitask while they do. Avoid checking your text messages or watching， or checking out how other participants are reacting.     3     You can also do that by making eye contacts.

To connect instantly with someone， shake hands.

     4     Touching someone on the arm， hand， or shoulder for just 1/40 of a second creates a human bond. In the workplace， physical touch and warmth are established through handshaking， and this contact makes a lasting and positive impression.

To stimulate good feelings， smile.

A genuine smile not only stimulates（激發）your own sense of well-being， it also tells that you are approachable， cooperative， and trustworthy. A genuine smile crinkles the eyes， lights up the face， and fades away slowly.     5     When you smile at someone， they almost always smile in return. And， because facial expressions bring about corresponding feelings， the smile you get back actually changes that persons emotional state in a positive way.

If you follow these simple yet powerful body language tips， you may increase your nonverbal impact in the workplace.

A. To develop your confidence， assume a power pose.

B. To improve your memory， uncross your arms and legs.

C. This is the most primitive and powerful unspoken signal.

D. Doing so will make the other person feel understood and accepted.

E. Try this when youre feeling tentative but want to appear confident.

F. Most importantly， it directly influences how other people respond to you.

G. Instead， focus on those who are speaking by turning your head to face them directly.

Many people want to sleep better.     1     

A recent global study？of 22，330 adults from 13 countries found the rate of insomnia（失眠）associated with the pandemic（流行病）is 36.7%. This is significantly higher than the rates of anxiety（25.6%）and depression（抑郁）（23.1%）related to the pandemic.

     2     The disorder makes it difficult to go to sleep， wake up or go back to sleep if youve woken up in the middle of the night， according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

If youre having trouble getting quality sleep， Dr. Alon Avidan， director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center， recommended to start by removing the following certain items from your evening routine.

Dating and Job Hunting

There are a lot of similarities between looking for a job and looking for a significant other. Sure， there are differences-probably best not to end an interview with a kiss-but the similarities are worth noting.     1     

First impressions are everything.

We only have one chance to make a first impression， and theres no taking it back. When people first meet you， they only know the you sitting in front of them. Put simply： going for a clean and put-together look can send a great first impression on the other person.     2     

Identify whether their goals agree with yours.

Why would an employer hire you if you indicate your real passion（热情）is acting but you are applying for a research role？ Of course honesty is the key.     3     This is one of the top reasons that companies pass candidates， and you certainly are not setting yourself up for success in dating with these types of closed-minded responses.

     4     

Nobody needs to know your medical histories， why you had such a bitter break-up， or the names of all your first cousins the first time they meet you. Keep it brief and light， and professional in the interview setting.

Everyone loves to be loved.

There are people who love to play hard-to-get.     5     On the other hand， how would you feel if someone said“I love you”， and you replied，“Let me think about it and I will get back to you.”This is silly- dont make them wait.

A. Too much personal information is a turn-off.

B. Sharing your information allows your personality to shine.

C. But it is best to keep answers about the future open-ended.

D. Youd better answer those open-ended questions more thoroughly.

E. If you want advice on how to score a second date or interview， here are four top tips.

F. This allows for them to concentrate on what you are saying and not on what you are wearing.

G. Regarding interviewing， it is a common misbelief that you should take a day to accept a position.

I have seen too many people waste their potential and live unhappily because they cant overcome some destructive（毁灭性的）limiting beliefs.     1     

“I need to know everything before I start.”

We often overthink things. We keep going back and forth. But no one starts with all the answers. Even Buffet started without knowing everything about investing（投资）.     2     We learn along the way. But if we never start， we cant do that.

“What if it doesnt work out？”

A lot of us are already thinking way too far ahead. “What if it doesnt work out and I end up wasting a few years. I am better off staying where I am.”     3     Yes， things might not work out. But we all have to adapt for there is no“safe”job or business.

“I dont know what I want”

This is a limiting belief that most people never become aware of.     4     And yet， they do nothing because“I dont know what I want！”Actually， if we dont know what we want， we can start by improving the areas that keep us from living well.

“Its too late now！”

Do you know whats really too late？     5     There is no point in waiting for the“perfect timing.”Life is not a race but a marathon， so only when we keep going consistently， can we really make it.

Youre not alone if you arent able to get approved for a private student loan without a co-signer. If your scholarships， grants（助学金）and federal aid wont cover your costs， you may need to take a step back.

Consider a less expensive school.     1     .

Talk to the schools financial aid office. If youre looking for additional funds（基金）because of a change in your or your familys financial situation， reach out to the schools financial aid office.     2     .

Cut back on educational expenses. If youre close to having enough savings and financial aid to pay for school but still have a small gap to fill， you may be able to cut expenses rather than find more aid.     3     . You can also save on textbook costs by buying used books， renting them or using free reference copies at the library.

     4     . If youve been admitted to a school but cant afford it， you could ask to take a gap year to work and build your finances.     5     ， you may be able to maintain your admission at the school the following year. And you have twelve months to get your financial affairs in order.

Eat breakfast. A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who ate a big breakfast. One possible reason：“If youre eating a proper breakfast， youre less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices，”says Abramson.“We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.     5     ”

If you rely on online reviews to decide which products to buy， you should be careful because nearly 30 percent are fake（假的）， planted by companies to increasing their sales or tank their competitorsrankings.     1     

1. A simple reviewer profile（概況）

     2     Be careful if you find someone has only one review， reviews only on one type of product， leaves only very positive reviews， often writes short reviews or reviews products from only one company. Paid reviewers aim to get a products overall grade as high as possible and as quickly as possible. They wont give any negative reviews or bother to write any more details of or of a product.

2. Signs of compensation

One clear clue a reviewer got paid is that the bio page shows many similar reviews of comparable products.     3     If you see signs like these， youd better watch out because the reviewers are more likely to praise the products just to get some free gifts.

It may seem counterintuitive（违反常理的）， but Cornell University researchers found that fake reviews are often accompanied by I or my to make them seem more personal.     4     

4. A turnaround in attitude

D. Fake reviews rely on generalities so they can be copied to different products.

1. D 承上启下句。空前句说，很多人浪费了潜能，生活得不开心，这是因为他们不能战胜一些毁灭性的限定性想法。下面四段小标题就是四种“毁灭性的限定性想法”。因此，此处只能选择一个承上启下的句子，只有D项“战胜这些，他们就不会再漫无目的地生活”合适。该项中get over与空前句中的overcome为同义复现，these指代空前句中的destructive limiting beliefs，they指代空前句中的people。

2. A 段中衔接句。空格前说，“甚至巴菲特都并不是了解了投资的一切之后才开始投资的。”选项A项“我们所有人都这样”与此衔接。

3. G 段中衔接句。空前句，“我们许多人都在想太久以后发生的事情：如果事情没成功，我又浪费了很多年，怎么办？我还是呆在原处好一点。”选项G，“这就是让人们不开心并且之后会后悔他们决定的想法”与此衔接。其中，thinking为原词重现。

4. F  段中衔接句。空后句说，“但是，他们什么都不做，因为我不知道我想要什么。”能与此构成转折关系的选项只有F项，“他们知道他们的事业、健康、人际关系正让他们不开心。”

5. C 段中衔接句。空前句，“你知道什么时候是真正的迟呢？” C项“是在我们不追寻我们想要的东西的时候”就是对前一句的回答。

（八）本文介绍了你在无法获得贷款的情况下，如何完成学业。

1. F 段中衔接句。空前句讲“考虑便宜一点的学校”，空后句讲“你也许可以把你的一般的教育要求解决掉，然后转到四年制学院或大学完成你的学位”，选项F“从当地的社区大学开始学习是一个便宜的选择”前后衔接。该项中inexpensive与空前句中的less expensive为同义复现，Starting 与空后句中的and then为词语同现。

2. D 段尾结论句。本段主旨句讲“你还可以向学校资助办公室提出申请”，空前句“你可以联系学校资助办公室”，因为“你可能有资格获得助学金（grants）或勤工俭学奖励（work-study awards）”，故选D项。

3. G 段中衔接句。本段主旨句讲削减教育费用。空前说费用不够，但差得不多，你可以削减费用，不需要寻求更多的援助。空后句讲“你还可以……来节省费用（You can also save...）”，显然，这是削减费用的又一个（also）具体例子，因此，空格处应是节省费用的一个例子，故选G项“例如，你可以和室友住在一起，付更少的房租”与此吻合。

4. E 段首主题句。空后句讲“如果你被一所学校录取了，但是你负担不起学费，你可以要求间隔年（take a gap year）去工作来积累你的费用”，浏览剩余各选项，发现E项中也有take a gap year，为原词复现，且该项中的 building credit and savings也与空前句中的build your finances为同义复现，故选E项。

5. C 段中不完整句。因横线后是逗号，空后是一个句子，所以空格处应是一个从句或短语，只能考虑B和C两个选项;而B项“如果你选择一所低费用的公立学校”与空后的“你可以保留录取资格一年”没有条件与结果的关系，故选C项“根据学院或大学的政策”。

（九）本文主要介绍三种人们意想不到的促进心脏健康的方法。

1. C 段中衔接句。空前句说，“80%的早期心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的。”空后句，“但是，你可能没有想到别的生活方式。”由此可知，空格句，应是列举可以预防早期心脏病的大家知道的生活方式，故选C项“锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的策略”。

2. F 承上启下句。因下文三段分别列出三种预防心脏病的方法，所以选既承接上文又能引出下文的选项F“以下是她提出的一些促进心脏健康的令人惊讶的方法”。该项中的she指代上一句的 Dr. Beth Abramson。

3. B 段中衔接句。空前句讲，“孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素。”选项B“志愿活动能让你走出家门，建立一个社交网络”正好能解决前句中提到的“孤独（loneliness）”问题。

4. G 段中衔接句。空后句中提到“可能喝太多酒，避免锻炼”等，可知抑郁对人的行为有负面影响，选项G“艾布拉姆森指出，感到非常悲伤的状态会影响我们的行为方式”与此衔接。且G项中的the state of feeling very sad与空前句中的depression为同义复现。

5. A 段尾衔接句。空前句“我们需要吃均衡的饮食作为健康生活方式的一部分”，应当吃什么样的饮食呢？选项A“选择全谷物，低脂肪的食物，同时，包括水果”与此衔接。
