Read the text below. For questions (6-10) choose the correct answer (А, В, С or D).

SOME WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY

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. However, it does mean taking
responsibility and making an effort. Here are the experts’ top tips.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. 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, and focus on it consciously. One way to make yourself more
interested is to ask questions – the more the better.
Repeating things is the best way to remember things for a short time, e.g. remembering a phone number for a
few seconds. ‘Chunking’ or grouping numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember:
1492178919318483. But look at them in ‘chunks’, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483.
Another way to make something more memorable is to think about something visual associated with it. Design
a mental picture and the stranger the picture the better you will remember it! If an English person studying Spanish
wanted to remember the Spanish word for duck, ‘pato’, he/she could associate it with the English verb ‘to pat’ and
imagine a picture of someone patting a duck on the head.
To 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 technique and when they were tested
afterwards, on average they could remember ninety percent of them.
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-organised notes. Be sure things are clear in your mind.
If not, ask questions until you understand! Many experts believe that listening to classical music, especially Mozart,
helps people to organize their ideas more clearly and so improves their memory. Sadly, rock music does not have
the same effect.
If you do not want to lose your memory as you get older you need to keep your brain fit, just like your body:
‘use it or lose it’ is the experts’ advice. Logic puzzles, crosswords and mental arithmetic are all good ‘mental
aerobics’.
Exercise is also important for your memory, 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.
The old saying that ‘eating fish makes you brainy’ may be true after all. Scientists have discovered that the fats
found in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon – as well as in olive oil – help to improve the memory. Vitamins C and
E (found in fruits like oranges, strawberries and red grapes) and vitamin B (found in lean meat and green
vegetables) are all good ‘brain food’, too.

6. According to the first paragraph a good memory is ________.

A. a “gift” of nature at birth C. a result of your self-perfection
B. something inherently invariable D. something that changes from time to time
7. Which of the following techniques for memorizing a lot of new words at a time is mentioned in the text?
A. asking people the meaning of these words
B. drawing pictures of the meaning of the words
C. writing lists of associations with other words
D. creating compositions with the new words
8. According to the text, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Stress reduction has a negative influence on memory.
B. «Mental aerobics» includes all kinds of logic exercise.
C. Understandable issues are remembered more easily.
D. Mindful memorizing is essential for remembering items.
9. What is stated in the text?
A. Being in good shape means having a good memory.
B. You can improve your memory by working out.
C. You can boost your brain work with medicines.
D. Listening to different music benefits your memory.
