I know hat we have a
short-term memory and a
long-term memory.When we
get old, our short-term memory
becomes worse,but we can still
remember things from a long
time ago.我知道我们的记忆有长期和短期之分，当我们老的时候，短期记忆就变得越来越糟，而我们却仍旧能激起很早以前的事情。
My grandpa told me a joke.He
said,‘When you get old,three
things start to go wrong.First,
you lose your memory...and
i can't remrmber what the other
two things are!'
我的爷爷给我讲了一个笑话，他说，”当你老的时候，三件事情就会出毛病了。首先，你会失去记忆…..我不能记起其他的两件事情是什么了!”

I saw a programme on television
about a man with an injured
brain.He couid not remember
anything for longer than a few
minutes.我在电视上看到关于一个人的大脑受伤的节目，他不能记起几分钟前的事情
His wife visited him in hospital
every day,but he forgot her
visits a few minutes after she
left.He was often angry with
her because he thought that she
never visited him. it was very
sad.
他的妻子每天都去医院看他，但他在妻子走后几分钟就忘记了妻子来看过他，他很担心妻子生气，因为他担心妻子不再来看他，这是一件令人伤心的事

If you want to remember something,you
should make a picture of it in your mind.If
the picture is silly,strange and colourful, you
wil remember it better.
如果你想记住某件事情，你就应该在你的头脑中形成一幅画。如果这幅画看起来很傻，奇怪，丰富多彩，你就能很好的记住它。
For example,I am trying to remember the
word‘smiles'.An easy way to do this is to
imagine there is a‘mile'between the first
letter and the last letter.This makes it the
longest word in the world!
例如，我试着记住smile这个词，一个简单的方法就是要想象在第一个字母和最后一个字母之间有一个mile，这使它成为史上最长的单词。

In the Guinness Book of Records,there
are some amazing stories about memory.
For example,Gou Yanling from Harbin in
china has memorized 15,000 telephone
numbers.And Dominic O'Brien from the
UK remembered the correct order of 1,820
playing cards,after seeing them just once.
在吉尼斯纪录中，有一些关于记忆的惊人故事。例如，来自与海尔宾的Gou Yanling，他记住15000个电话号码，还有英国的Dominic O'Brien，他能记住1820张纸牌的正确顺序，当他看一遍之后。

Memory is connected to our
feelings.If someone shouts
‘Spider!'and puts a large
spider on your hand,you
will probably remember the
word ‘spider'.If something
dramatic happens,we
usually remember it well. For
example,most old people in
the USA can remember where
they were when they heard
about the death of President
John F Kennedy in 1963.
记忆和我们的情感有关系，如果有人把一只大的蜘蛛放在你的手上并大喊“蜘蛛”，你就很可能会“蜘蛛”这个词。如果发生一些有趣的事，我们通常能很好的记住它。例如，美国的很多老年人就能记住肯尼迪总统何时何地逝世的。
