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 dont forget information they are given， but humans often do. No one remembers everything， and luckily we dont 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！ Im Carlos，” dont just say， “Hello.” Repeat the persons name. Say “____________”

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example， it is hard to memorize 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 youve learned back to your mind， they become easier to remember. For example， before you go to sleep， its 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 whats right and whats 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 everyones 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.

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

A. Six. B. Five. C. Four. D. Three.

（ ）7. Which of the following is best put in the blank in paragraph 2？

A. Hello， I am Sam. B. Let me introduce Simon.

C. Hello， Carlos. D. This is Carole speaking.

（ ）8. What can help memorize a big number more easily according to the passage？

A. To discuss with friends. B. To break it into smaller parts.

C. To review it before you sleep. D. To store it in a computer.

（ ）9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

A. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep.

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

C. Human beings can improve their memory by computer.

D. Discussing with friends can help you remember things.

The water tap was leaking （漏水） again， and the noise was driving Cassie crazy.

Cassie looked at her watch. It was nearly nine oclock. She climbed out of bed and stood on a chair by the shelf. Her mothers Mr. Fix-It Book was on the top shelf. Cassie stepped down quietly. She read the book quickly until she found the page she was looking for， and then began to read carefully.

Next， Cassie opened a box in the kitchen and picked out the tools she needed—a hammer， a wrench （扳手）， and several small things. It was no easy job for her to do the repair， and she tried several times. Finally， the water tap was in pieces. One by one， she carefully laid them out on the table. That way she would know how they went back. While this was going on， her cat walked over to watch what she was doing.

Cassie worked late into the night. At one point， she thought she was done. Oops！A small piece that she had forgotten still lay on the table. Slowly Cassie took the water tap apart one more time. This time she made sure everything was in place. She turned the water tap on and then off. One... Two... Three... She waited a full minute. There was no leak！Cassie smiled and put the tools back into the box. Then she went back into bed.

The next morning， Dad was in the kitchen when Cassie got up.

“Notice anything， Dad？” she asked.

He looked around and listened. “Hmm， somethings missing... I cant find out what it is... Wait， its too quiet in here！”

“Thats right，” Cassie said. “Something is missing. I fixed the water tap. It doesnt leak any more.”

“Thats my girl，” Dad said， “Its a good thing you are really like your mother.”
