Meaningfulness affects memory at all levels.Information that does not make any sense to you is difficult to remember.There are several ways in which we can make material more meaningful.Many people, for instance, learn a rhyme to help them remember.Do you know the rhyme "Thirty days has September, April, June, and November..."? It helps many people remember which months of the year have 30 day s.
Organization also makes a difference in our ability to remember.How useful would a library be if the books were kept in random order? Material that is organized is better remembered than jumbled information.One example of organization is chunking.C hunking consists of grouping separate bits of information.For example, the number 4671363 is more easily remembered if it is chunked as 467, 13, 63.Categorizing is another means of organization.Suppose you are asked to remember the following list of wor ds: man, bench, dog, desk, woman, horse, child, cat, chair.Many people will group the words into similar categories and remember them as follows: man, woman, child; cat, dog, horse; bench, chair, desk.Needless to say, the second list can be remembered mo re easily than the first one.
Association refers to taking the material we want to remember and relating it to something we remember accurately.In memorizing a number, you might try to associate it with familiar numbers or events.For example, the heigh t of Mount Fuji in Japan -12,389 feet -might be remembered using the following associations: 12 is the number of months in the year, and 389 is the number of days in a year (365) added to the number of months twice (24).
The last principle is visualizati on.Research has shown striking improvements in many types of memory tasks when people are asked to visualize the items to be remembered.In one study, subjects in one group were asked to learn some words using imagery, while the second group used repetiti on to learn the words.Those using imagery remembered 80 to 90 percent of the words, compared with 30 to 40 percent of the words for those who memorized by repetition.Thus forming an integrated image with all the information placed in a single mental pict ure can help us to preserve a memory.

根据以下内容回答题:
As contrasts go,there are few other pairs of culture as distinct from each other as the Japa-nese and the Americans.Japan’s many centuries of history and especially its Buddhist heritage have given the Japanese an attitude of repose(从容)——the best course is to let it be:When the time is ripe,things will work out by.themselves.America,on the other hand,is just a few centuries old and displays an almost volcanic liveliness and restlessness.For the Japanese,social harmony has a prior claim in every circumstance;for the Americans,harmony is the result of the rational interaction of free and fair-minded people.One does not lightly move from traditions in Japan,many of which are centuries old;in the United States,the habits and attitudes of even one’S parent’S generation are suspect. Every cuhure,through its legal and institutional arrangements,mirrors the society’S reso-lution of some basic human problems.These can provide a useful framework for the analysis of cuhural differences.Organizations also face the same problems and usually take their cue from the prevailing culture in designing solutions to these problems.This suggests that the perspec-tive provided by viewing cuhure through the framework of this problem will be useful for organi-zational analysis as well.The following sections present a discussion of such a framework in the context of the contrast between Japan and the United States. Before this is presented,however,we must alert the reader that the differences are stated here as being sharper than they may be in reality.On each of the aspects discussed later,there is naturally considerable variation within each culture,because examples demonstrating the cul-tural reality opposite to the one described in this book can be found easily.Thus,the following discussion should be viewed in the way it is presented,as generalizations and tendencies rather than as absolutes.
Cultural differences between the Japanese and the Americans are the__________ .
A.most obvious
B.slightest
C.Same
D.less suitable
A、words to be most important
B、signal words
C、words after verbs
D、verb phrases
