9．Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study，work and life．Can memory be improved？Luckily，hundreds of studies in the past 50years have already given us a definite answer．
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp．First of all，it is necessary to have a healthy diet．Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E，such as vegetables and lean meat，helps you have a better memory．Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain．Running，riding a bike，swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful．Moreover，getting enough sleep is important．Only when your brain gets a good rest，can it work well．The healthier your lifestyle is，the better your memory will become，but do not expect a sudden change---it takes a long time to make a difference．
Memory skills help you remember things better．The following three are the most widely used．Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones．For example，to memorize a ten--digit telephone number 2127983630，you can divide the digits into three groups：first 212，then 798，and lastly 3630．This method is far more effective than remembering a string of 10digits．Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind．For example，trees，grass and flowers are plants； tigers，pandas，horses and cows are animals，Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with．
However，memory skills will hardly work if you don't understand the information．What's more，only a regular review can make the memory last long．That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days，and then use it as regularly as possible．
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger．If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills，you can certainly improve your memory．

分析 這篇短文告訴我們通過一些方法我們是可以提高我們的記憶力的．如我們要保持健康的生活方式，掌握一些記憶的技巧，以及經(jīng)常復習．只要我們注意這些，我們就可以提高我們的記憶力，在學習、工作和生活中取得成功．
解答 26．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第二段中可知，在這里作者一共給我們講了三個健康的生活方式，一是First of all，it is necessary to have a healthy diet健康飲食；二是Doing exercise can keep your brain alive，too做運動；三是Moreover，getting enough sleep is important充足睡眠．故選B．
27．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)短文第三段中Organization means organizing information into groups of the the same kind．可知，第二種記憶技巧是組織，就是把同類的信息分組來記憶．由此我們可以推斷A選項通過把sad這個單詞分到feeling這個組里來記憶，這種方法屬于organization的記憶方法．故選A．
28．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第四段中What's more，only a regular review can make the memory last long．That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days，and then use it as regularly as possible．可知，規(guī)則的復習可以使記憶更長久，所以學生們才要把自己學到的內(nèi)容經(jīng)常來復習．故選D．
29．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)句意：比喻是通過你的想象力來記憶新學到的信息，把它與你熟悉的東西聯(lián)系起來．可知它在這指的是信息，故選C．
30．C 主旨大意題．這篇短文是來告訴我們通過一些方法我們是可以提高我們的記憶力的．如我們要保持健康的生活方式，掌握一些記憶的技巧，以及經(jīng)常復習．只要我們注意這些，我們就可以提高我們的記憶力，在學習、工作和生活中取得成功．故選C，通過一些方法記憶力是可以提高的．
