24、   Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp(猩猩) or a teenager?The teenager? Think again.Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.

Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed.Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world

Scientists say that there are different types of memory.There is short-term memory and long-term memory.Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes.For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items(物件)in a store.Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it's meaningful to you.(an example is data about family and friends).And then there is visual (视觉的) memory and sound memory.But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.

Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways.Some memorize better with the help of pictures.Others are helped more by sounds.One thing s for sure.If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time, listen to recordings of the same group of words.This may help when it comes to memorizing it.

Imagination and association can be useful, too.By imagination, scientists mean to picture a word in your mind.Association means relating the word to something you have already known.

25、阅读短文，根据短文内容判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. No one likes mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male(雄性) mosquito doesn’t bite! Only the female（雌性）mosquito bites because she needs blood（血）to lay eggs.  But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.

If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites , you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away. And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
