Passage3（文峰中学）
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory. Here are the experts’ top tips. Take an interest— make an effort
1 .This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more the better. Repeat things
Repeating things is the best way to remember things for a short time, e.g. remember a phone number for a few seconds. 2 , e.g. the following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in “chucks(块)” , and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483. Invent a story
Tom remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the items you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. 3 , on average they could remember ninety percent of them! Organize your idea
If we organize what we know in a logical way then when we learn more about that subject, we understand that better, and so add to our knowledge more easily. Make well-organized notes. 4 . If not, ask questions until you understand! Take physical exercise
5 , because it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress, which is very bad for the memory. A. When they were tested afterwards B. Be sure things are clear in your mind C. Grouping numbers helps you to remember them D. Physical exercise is also important for your memory E.

Passage16 （高格庄）
When my family 1 (move) to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but 2 our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I 3 (serve ) food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened 4 hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
