【正文】 However, there is another difference between humans and puters. Computers don39。t fet information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don39。t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions. ◆ Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says ―Hi! I39。m Carlos,‖ don39。t just say ―Hello.‖ Repeat the person39。s name. Say ―________‖ ◆ Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it39。s hard to memorize(記憶 ) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109/244/153—it bees easier. ◆ Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式 ) or facts. ◆ Always review information. If you bring what you39。ve learned back to your mind, they bee easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it39。s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day. ◆ Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what39。s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. ◆ Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone39。s memory gets better if they use it often enough. All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory. 26. Which should be put in the blank(空格 ) in Paragraph 2？ 九年級英語試題 第 5 頁 共 14 頁 A. Hello, Carlos. B. How do you do? C. Hello, I am Sophia.
