Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized (有条理的). When you put away a book – or memory – you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
35. In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because _______. A. they have memory problems B. they are too worried
C. they don’t use a proper way D. they don’t like to study
36. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A. Short-term memory is seldom used.
B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.
C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.
37. Which is one example of “thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3?
A. Making sentences with the word. B. Listening to some familiar stories. C. Talking with people that you know. D. Drawing pictures of the word on paper.
38. This passage mainly tells us about _______. A. language students’ problems in study B. how to make the meaning of words stronger C. short-term and long-term memory
D. how to improve ways to remember words C
Do you like traditional Chinese paper-cutting? Ding Xiang, a student at Nongsishi Middle School in Xinjiang, is really good at it. At the eighth National Excellent Talents Competition last month in Beijing, the 15-year-old girl got the gold award（金奖） for her paper-cutting skills.
At the competition, Ding cut a piece: Millennium Dream（千年梦想）. The piece has two papers. One shows an ancient cave painting(壁画) and the other a Chinese-made spaceship. The two papers form a sharp contrast（对比）. Ding said she wanted to show three things with the piece: China’s long history, China’s rapid development, and her hope for the future of paper-cutting. This piece helped Ding walk away with the gold award.
“I was very surprised to get the award.” Ding said in an interview with Yili Daily, a Xingjiang newspaper. “I should thank paper-cutting for bringing me the award.” All the hard work has paid off. In two years, Ding’s skills have improved a lot, and she has the gold award to prove(证明) it. Ding said she has learned a lot from paper-cutting. “I have learned to observe things carefully,” Ding told Yili Daily. “I have become more confident, too. It is a great help in my studies. Also, I have learned a lot of history from the art.” 39. Ding Xiang got the gold award because of ________.
