READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
MEMORY
How good are you at remembering names, dates, PIN and telephone numbers? It is not an easy
process for all. Memory is one of the most interesting functions of the human brain, which is why
scientists spend so much time studying how it works.
Studies have shown that when we learn something new, it stays in our memory for 20-30 seconds.
This is our short- term memory and it can hold up to seven bits of information, for example a 7-
digit phone number. If we repeat it and use it often, this information can move from short-term to
READING ( 20p)
long-term memory, which is the place where memories are stored for a long time. Scientists say
that long-term memory will never fill up completely with memories in one lifetime!
Then why do we forget things? Forgetting things that are not important helps us our brain to
remember things that are. Our brain is always “cleaning out” useless information to make room
for something more useful.
There is no limit to the possibilities of memory. There are many people throughout history who
had incredible memories. Winston Churchill, a former prime minister of the U.K. knew all of
Shakespeare’s work by heart. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the most composers ever, wrote
down Gregorio Allegri composition Miserere after only hearing it once.
There are even competitions for memory. One of them is the annual World Memory
Championship, which was first held in 1991. The winner that year was Dominic O’Brien and he
went on to win seven more times. In 1993, he broke the record by memorizing 900 random
numbers in an hour. However, the current record is 2,660 by Wang Feng from China. O’Brien has
written several books on the technique he uses to improve his memory.
If you are interested in improving your memory, apart from using memory techniques, there are
lots of simple things you can do like eating healthily, sleep well and exercising daily.
Challenging your brain also helps you keep healthy and active. So, why not start doing puzzles and
crosswords, playing mind games, learn a musical instrument or studying a new language?
