24、

The human brain is very small and light. Its weight is only 2% of our total body weight, but it needs about 20% of the oxygen(氧气) that our bodies take in. We can’t think well if our brains aren’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there’s enough oxygen in the air when you need to remember something. How can you improve your memory? Here are some suggestions.

When you want to remember something, tell someone about it. This way the new information becomes easier to remember. Later on, thinking about the conversation will remind you of the thing.

Our memory works well when we’re asleep. If you want to remember something, try going to sleep right after learning it. If you have to remember something big, break it down into small parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it down into four small parts:198-756-430-387.

If you want to remember some information and you can’t, don’t get angry. Just relax and try again later. One of the best ways of remembering things is to make “pictures” in your mind. If you want to buy many things including bread, flowers, gloves, a notebook and oil, just make up a story with them:

Mary was hungry and was looking for some BREAD. She opened the fridge, and saw it was full of FLOWERS. She decided to wear her GLOVES and leave the house. But she tripped over a bottle of OIL and found her important NOTEBOOK under the sofa ...

25、Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago， the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land， hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.

People began to live near one another， so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages， and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared， life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today， it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。

【1】People moved from place to place to hunt animals.

【2】The story says，“No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their life changed.” In this sentence， the word “they” means people.

【3】When machines appeared， life in the cities changed again.

【4】All people like to live only in big cities.

【5】People built factories after the cities grew big.
