Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite* answer.\nA healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running ,riding a bike ,swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change---it takes a long time to make a difference.\nMemory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking* is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten--digit telephone number 2127983630,you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212,then 798,and lastly 3630.This method is far more effective than remembering a string* of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, panadas, horses and cows are animals ,Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.\nHowever, memory skills will hardly work if you don't understand the information. What's more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.\nHuman brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improved your memory.\n\n<question>:\nHow many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA wo\nB Three\nC Four\nD Five\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "B" } ]

When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gunshots . When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.\nIf you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house--cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves.

He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw something moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got close,he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing,instead he was reaching down to the shore,picking up something and very gently and throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out,\"Good morning!What are you doing?''\nThe young man paused ,looked up and replied,\"Throwing starfishes into the ocean.\"\n\"I guess I should have asked ,why are you throwing starfishes into the ocean?\"\n\"The sun is up and the tide is going out.And if I don't throw them in, they will die.\"\n\"But ,young man ,don't you realize that there are miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!\"\n\"The young man listened politely.Then he bent down ,picked another starfish and threw it into the sea ,and said ,It made a difference for that one.\"\nThe wise man was lost in thought when the young man kept trying. Yes, there is something very special in every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain the power to shape the future.Each of us can do something for the future,each of us must find our starfish.
