Among them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain (大脑) to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.An excellent way to improve memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will als o be helpful.Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow you r brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally, keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well—not just for improving your memory.How to 【小题1】________ your memoryMain 【小题2】___ _____·taking special 【小题3】________ of your health·making yourself excited to make your memory more active by taking【小题4】_______ in some new activities and changing your daily habits.·paying attention to the most 【小题5】________ things, in order to add to your chances to 【小题6】 ________ right memories·connecting information with 【小题7】________·taking notes and【小题8】 ________ diariesOther ways ·eating【小题9】_______ food and taking plenty of vitamins ·drinking a lot of water·having 【小题10】________ sleep and rest四、根据句意填空16. 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卷标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。
