Read the article about improving memory. Five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap (1–5). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Memory matters
A strong memory depends on the health of your brain. Whether you’re a student studying for final exams, a working professional interested in doing all you can to stay mentally sharp, or a retired person who wants to look after your brain as you age, there are lots of things you can do to improve your memory and mental performance. 0  G
They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 1     The human brain has an amazing ability to adapt even into old age – something known as neuroplasticity. With the right mental exercises, the brain can make new connections and react in ever-changing ways.
So, how do we go about improving our memories? Well, just as an athlete relies on sleep and a healthy diet to perform at his or her best, your ability to remember increases when you look after your brain by having a good diet and other healthy habits. 2 Â Â Â Â Doing even moderate physical activity increases oxygen to the brain and reduces the risk of medical problems that lead to memory loss.
When you don’t get enough sleep, your brain can’t operate at its best. 3     Sleep is also important for learning and memory in an even more basic way. Research shows that sleep is necessary for memory improvement, with key memory-improving activity occurring during the deepest stages of sleep.
In terms of a healthy diet for the brain, it’s not just what you eat, but what you don’t eat. Diets including lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and ‘healthy’ fats such as olive oil, nuts, and fish provide lots of health benefits for the body. 4     Research shows that eating too many calories later in life can slow down brain development, so it’s useful to have an eating plan. And it’s not just food. Drinking green tea may also slow down the brain’s ageing process.
Not all ways of improving memory have to be serious. Just hanging out with friends can make a huge difference. The reason is that, as humans, we are very sociable and relationships make our brains more active. In fact, communicating with others may be the best kind of brain exercise. You could join a club or try to see your friends more often. If that’s difficult, you could use the phone. And remember that laughter is also good for the brain. Listening to jokes and working out why they’re funny activates areas of the brain important for learning and creativity. 5     Finally, give your brain a workout by shaking things up from time to time. Try taking a new route home from work or the supermarket, visiting new places at the weekend, or reading different kinds of books. The more you ‘work out’ your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information
