  The human brain weighs about 1. 4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything. And luckily we don'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!I'm Carlos",don't just say "Hello". Repeat the person's name. Say " "

*Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize(记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts―109/244/153―it becomes 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 you've learned back to your mind,they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it'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 what'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 everyone'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.

(   ) 1. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?

      A. To store it in a computer.    B. To break it into smaller parts.

    C. To discuss it with a friend.    D. To review it before you sleep.

(   ) 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

     A.     Discussing with friends can help you remember things.

    B.     Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep.

    C.     Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain.

 Thirty years ago,Lake Ponkapog was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is filled with strange plants.

How did this happen?First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past,there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.

  Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects(昆虫) .There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from homes and businesses and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.

  Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So more harmful chemicals go into the water in this way.

  People around the lake love this lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals in the ground. And they mustn't use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people's lives. But only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful clean lake again.
