A

On my way home， I knocked into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh， Im terribly sorry.” I said. “Thats all right.” The stranger said with a smile on his face. We were very polite. But at home， we often treat our loved ones in a different way.

Later that day， while I was cooking the evening meal， my daughter stood beside me very quietly. When I turned， I nearly knocked her down. “Move out of the way！” I shouted. She walked away， with tears in her eyes.

When I lay awake in bed， I realized how rudely I had spoken. So I decided to say sorry to my daughter. On the way to her bedroom， to my surprise， I found some flowers by the door of the kitchen. At that time my tears began to fall. I went quietly and got down on my knee by her bed. She woke up and put her arms around my neck when I kissed her. Then I asked， “Did you pick these flowers for me？”

She smiled， “I found them by the tree. I picked them because they are pretty like you， mom. I knew you would like them. I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise.” “Oh， dear， Im really sorry for the way I acted today in the kitchen. I shouldnt have shouted at you.”

“Thats Okay， mom. I love you anyway.”

I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word “family” like this： （F）ather （A）nd （M）other， （I） （L）ove （Y）ou！

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 dont forget information they are given， but humans often do. No one remembers everything， and luckily we dont usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

◆Try to use new information immediately. For example， if you meet someone who says， “Hi！ Im Carlos，” dont just say， “Hello.” Repeat the persons name. Say “____________”

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example， it is hard to memorize 109244153， but if you break it into three parts—109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember over 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 youve learned back to your mind， they become easier to remember. For example， before you go to sleep， its a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about whats right and whats 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 everyones 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.
