So, improving memory is important to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new study, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average (平均) than the other two groups.This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. “This forces the brain to think in a different waythe brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus(关注点),” the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.Backward walking also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. Itrequires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.21 . Backward walking can_ according to the passage.Aimprove the memory in the long termBimprove the memory in the short termCcause much more pain in our kneesDforce the brain to think in the same way22 . Which one is the correct order of the following according to the passage?The backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average.The volunteers answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video.The volunteers were divided into 3 groups and 1 group moved backward 10 meters.The volunteers watched a video in which a womans bag was stolen.ABCD23 .

Im Rose, eighty-seven years old. We all laughed when hearing this. “Of course you laugh!” She stopped for a while. “Why are you in college? Thats because you are at such a young age, But Im here just because I am not young.” Over the course of the year, Rose became a model in the college. Everyone knew her and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to learn about anything that the young likes.At the end of the school year, we invited Rose to speak at our dinner party. Ill never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop learning because we are young; we grow old because we stop learning. So please be happy and stay young. You can find humor every day.

Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there werent many hooks, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I dont think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!30 .
