21、Is there a way to quickly recall（回忆） information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might be a good way. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.

Scientists did an experiment. They asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, volunteers were divided into three groups and each group had the same number of people. The first group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.

The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average（平均）than the other two groups.

Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail, “You see things from a different angle（角度）. ” This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.

And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Walking backward is more difficult than walking forward. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories（卡路里）.

Besides, walking backward is less stressful（压力大的）for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees（脊柱）strong, which can help to ease（缓解）pain in the lower back.

【1】What does “this activity” in Paragraph 1 refer to? ________

A．Recalling information.

B．Taking an exam.

C．Walking backwards.

D．Improving memory.

【2】The second paragraph is written to ________.

A．introduce a useful way of walking

B．describe how researchers did their experiment

C．show who can answer more questions correctly

D．explain why walking backwards improves memory

【3】The number of volunteers in each group was ________.

A．36

B．38

D．114

【4】According to New Scientist, how can walking backwards be helpful? ________

A．It helps people burn more calories.

B．It helps people remember information.

C．It can ease pain in people’s knees and backs.

D．It allows people to see things in a new angle.

【5】Scientists did the experiment to show ________

A．walking backwards can keep our spines strong.

B．walking backwards can help us improve our fitness.

C．walking backwards can help us improve the short-term memory.

D．walking backwards is good for our brains and the rest of our body.

22、以下是一篇文章，请阅读全文，并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。

Memory is our ability to learn something and save it. Our memories are important to our ability to understand the world. 【1】 There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. 【2】 Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, such as knowledge and happy time with your friends.

Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. 【3】 If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. Others can memorize better by sounds. If you can put the different kinds of memory methods together, you can make great progress. 【4】 It may help you memorize the words. However, you may remember it for a long time if you understand something well. 【5】

A．Scientists say that there are different types of memory.

B．You can think about a picture if you want to remember facts.
