问题     Most people wish they had better memories and worry about forgetting things as they get older. But did you know thai we have different kinds of memory? And when one or more of these kind of memory start to fail, there are a few simple things that everyone can do to【C1】im______their memories.

    What most people think of as memory is, in fact, five different categories of memory. Our 【C2】______(capable)to remember things from the past, that is, years or days ago, depends on two categories of memory: remote memory and recent memory, respectively. Think back of last year’s birthday—what did you do? If you can remember that, you are using your 【C3】______memory. On the other hand, if you can’t remember what you ate for lunch yesterday, that is a problem with your recent memory. But there are also other【C4】sit______ in which we use our memories. Have you ever tried to remember a phone【C5】______that you got from the operator, but then forgot it right after? That would be a faulty immediate memory. But if you can 【C6】______(easy)remember to meet your friend for lunch next week, it means that at least your prospective memory is in good working order.
    Many people think that developing a bad memory is 【C7】______(avoid)as we get older, but this is actually not the case. Of our five kinds of memory, immediate, remote, and prospective do not degrade with【C8】a______. But how can we prevent a diminishing of our semantic, recent, and unaided prospective memories? The secret seems to be activity. Studies have shown that a little mental activity, like learning new things or even doing crossword puzzles, goes a long way in positively affecting our memories. 【C9】Reg______physical activity appears to be able to make our memories better as well, possibly due to having a better blood supply to the brain. The one thing to avoid 【C10】______all costs is stress. Reducing stress through meditation, exercise, or other activities can help to preserve our mental abilities. [br] 【C2】
