 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY 
 A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that 
cannot be changed, but actually (31)______ is a lot that you can do to improve your memory. 
 We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt explains 
the reason (32)______ schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates from their 
history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it (33)______. One way 
to ‗make‘ yourself more interested is to ask questions — the more the better! 
 Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)______ and sends

very bad for the memory. 
 The old saying that ―eating fish makes you brainy‖ may be true after all. Scientists have discovered that the 
fats (35)______ in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon — as well as in olive oil — help to improve the memory. 
Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good ‗brain food‘, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. 
 It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going for 
the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became the 
pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called "energy 
drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy. 
 One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has stated in 
interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for athletes. 
Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In order to do this, the makers 
of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages. The added 
chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and 
sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy. 
 Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all of 
the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another problem is that there are so 
many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together. 
 Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all the 
claims energy drinks make. He says, ―It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get a good 
result.‖ However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body. ―We 
just don't know at this point,‖ he says.
