I began to worry that maybe we had made a mistake when the sand began kicking up and hitting our faces.
That afternoon,my dad had stood on the deck of our home and laughed as our neighbors packed up their cars and headed inland.They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.
Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits,we lit a fire on the beach.Dad told jokes and we had a good time.When it was 6:30 pm,all laughter disappeared.Ours eyes were drawn to the sky.A tornado was headed straight for us!In a flash,we were all on our feet.The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage.My mom stopped next to the front door."where can we go?"She shouted at my dad.
Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements.Ours was no exception.The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn't offer safety from high wind.
"Follow me!"my dad yelled.We crawled beneath the deck,pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage.Between the deck supports,we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.
My dad shouted,"Hold on!"and something else I couldn't hear over the screaming wind.I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage,it was nothing more than a strong wind.The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.

Do you find yourself forgetting where you left your keys or blanking out information on important tests? 1.Before your next big exam, be sure to check out some of these tried and tested ways of improving memory.
Focus your attention on the materials you are studying. Attention is one of the major parts of memory. In order for information to move from short-term memory into long-term memory, you need to actively attend to this information. 2.
Structure and organize the information you are studying. Researchers have found that information is best organized in related groups.3.Or you can make an outline of your notes and textbook readings to help group related concepts (概念).
4.When you are studying unfamiliar material, take the time to think about how this information relates to things that you already know. By establishing relationships between new ideas and previously existing memories, you can remember the recently learned information.
Pay extra attention to difficult information. Remembering information at the beginning or end of an article is easy. However, recalling information from its middle can be difficult. 5.Another way is to try restructuring what you have learned so it will be easier to remember. When you come across an especially difficult concept, devote some extra time to memorizing the information.
A. Use this approach in your own studies.
B. Try grouping similar concepts and terms together.
C. Relate new information to things you already know.
D. Repeat the information you are studying to improve memory.
E. Try to study in a quiet place and concentrate on your learning.
