Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp(猩猩)or a teenager? The teenager? Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem.

Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world.

    Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term(短期的)memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. Long-term memory involves(包括）the information you try hard to keep, because it’s meaningful to you. And then there is visual(视觉的)memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.

    Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One thing’s for sure. If you can combine(结合)different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.

Imagination(想象)and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating(联系)the word to something you already know.

    A. 想像       B. 联想       C. 思维      D. 记忆

During their lives, many people experience difficulties and struggle (努力) to do something. When I lived in China, it was a hard struggle for me to learn Chinese and get used to Chinese customs.

The first day I went to school, it was difficult for me to understand what my teachers and my classmates said. I just sat in my seat without doing anything, but when I went back home, I cried and told my mom that I wanted to return to my homeland.

Later, however, I decided to study Chinese very hard, though it was very difficult to learn the language. Every day at school, I tried to talk to the Chinese students to make friends with them. When school ended, it was a good way to watch Chinese TV programs. That turned out to be a very good way to improve my Chinese. Little by little, I began to speak Chinese in school and I began to make many friends. Finally, I got a very high grade in the Chinese exam and won high praise from my teachers.

Now, I like to talk with Chinese people and I like Chinese food too. The experience of struggling to learn Chinese in China was unforgettable, and I’ll never forget the time when I learned so much.
