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 don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

◆Try to use new informati6n immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (記憶) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember ever 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 you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.

◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's 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 everyone's 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.

Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失敗) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (責(zé)怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them.
【小題1】How do most parents prevent their children from failure?

A．They give them some presents.
B．They don’t tell them that they have failed.
C．They don’t blame others.
D．They help them to come out of failure.
【小題2】Which of the following can a person learn when he fails?
A．It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it.
B．He is the worst of all.
C．It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time.
D．His teammates are not good enough.
【小題3】The writer of this article thinks that if a child fails, parents should __________________.
A．give him a small prize
B．a(chǎn)dvise him to repeat failure
C．blame others
D．encourage him to learn from failure
【小題4】4. Which would be the best title (標(biāo)題) for the passage?
A．Learning from Failure
B．Ways of Preventing Failure
C．Reasons of Failure
D．Getting Pleasure from Failure

科目：初中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年江蘇省宜興市九年級上學(xué)期期中考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits(展品). But the Science Museum is different, because it’s noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.

When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with  falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.

Then I go upstairs to Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button(按鈕). If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.

There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.

You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.

Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like—it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.

1. What is the writer’s favourite room?

   A. The Launch Pad.      

B. The rooms on space technology.

   C. The Human and Nature room.  

D. The Rocket Show.

2. What can’t you do in the Science Museum?

   A. Touch the machines.                  

B. Do chemistry experiments.

   C. Take photos of the exhibits.         

D. Talk loudly about what you see.

3. How much does it cost to go into the Science Museum?

   A. $10 for adults.                       B. $6 for children.

   C. Only free for children.               D. Free for everyone.

4. How long can you stay at the Science Museum?

   A. 6 hours.      B. 8 hours.     C. 10 hours.    D.12hours.

5. In what way is the Science Museum different from other museums?

   A. We can see a lot of exhibits in the Science Museum.

   B. People can talk to each other in the Science Museum.

C. There’s no shouting and no running in the Science Museum.

   D. You can work things out and try out your ideas in the Science Museum.
