But you can change the way you learn new information in order to successfully remember it in the long term.Focus on new information. It7 II be easier to remember something in the future if you give it all of your attention while you' re trying to learn it. Don' t try to do several tasks at the same time. While you are learning, turn off the TV and put your phone somewhere you can' t see it. It helps new information move from your short-term to your long-term memory. And you may need to ask your roommate or family to give you some quiet time.Take a break after learning something new. Just sit quietly for a few minutes. Avoid trying to get other things done during this time, as it will interfere with the process of building the new memories you' ve just formed.Review information right before bed. Studies suggest that your brain uses sleeping hours to review and choose what you will be able to recall in the long term. For this reason, you can improve your long-term memory by going over information that you want to remember right before you go to sleep.Organize information into related groups. For example, if youz re trying to remember a shopping list, group the things into categories like "vegetables" and "fruits” . Then try to memorize each category separately.长期记忆是很困难的，因为记忆可能会随着时间的推移而消失。但 你可以改变学习新信息的方式，以便成功地长期记住它。专注于新信息。如果你在努力学习的时候集中所有的注意力，将来 会更容易记住一些东西。不要试图同时做几件事。当你学习的时候，关 掉电视，把手机放在你看不见的地方。它有助于新的信息从短期记忆转 移到长期记忆。你可能需要让你的室友或家人给你一些安静的时间。学习完新东西后再休息一下。安静地坐几分钟。避免在这段时间内 做其他事情，因为这会干扰你建立新记忆的过程。睡觉前复习信息。研究表明，你的大脑利用睡眠时间来复习和选择 你能够长期回忆的内容。出于这个原因，你可以通过在睡前复习你想要 记住的信息来提高你的长期记忆。将信息组织到相关的类别中。例如，如果你想记住一份购物清单， 把它分成蔬菜和水果两类。然后试着分别记住每个类别。Ask people what they know about the Dead Sea and most will tell you that it' s impossible to sink when you are swimming in it. But not everyone knows why. Kids News researched the Dead Sea and found some interesting facts.The Dead Sea is an inland lake 50 kilometers long by 15 kilometers wide in the Middle East between the west bank and Jordan. The Jordan River is the main source of the Dead Sea water. It is about 430 meters below sea level, the lowest point on the surface of the Earth. The water level has been dropping even lower for the past 60 years. It drops about 1 meter each year.It' s a popular place for people to have a holiday, partly because it' s in the desert, which means lots of hot, sunny days.It's called the Dead Sea because it is full of salt. The Dead Sea water is perhaps 10 times as salty as open ocean seawater and nothing much can live in it. Exactly how sally it is changes through the depth of the lake and with how much water is flowing in from the Jordan River and how much water is evaporating.The water of the Dead Sea is full of salt, which makes it much denser and heavier than freshwater. If you swim in it, you float very easily.如果你问他们对死海了解多少，大多数人会告诉你，当你在死海中 游泳时，是不可能沉没的。但并不是每个人都知道原因。儿童新闻调查 了死海，发现了一些有趣的事实。死海是位于中东的一个内陆湖泊，长50公里，宽15公里，位于中 东的西海岸和约旦河之间。约旦河是死海水的主要来源。它在海平面以 下约430米，是地球表面的最低点。在过去60年左右的时间里，水位 一直在下降，每年下降约1米。它是一个受欢迎的度假地点，部分原因是它在沙漠中，这意味着有 很多炎热、阳光明媚的日子。它被称为死海，因为它充满了盐。死海的含盐量可能是公海海水的 10倍，没有什么东西可以在里面生存。它的变化程度取决于湖泊的深 度以及从约旦河流入的水量和蒸发的水量。死海的水充满了盐，这使得它比淡水的密度和重量大得多。如果你 在里面游泳，很容易就能浮起来。
