Because for one thing, those nasty, unpleasant jobs don’t go away when (1)... For another, whenever we try to avoid initial discomfort, we start to hate and fear anxieties and we become increasingly less able to cope with these feelings. If we don’t go to the dentist with a slight toothache, we may end up suffering agonizing pain. We all know this and (2)... But how can we get ourselves Into a positive frame of mind?

Over the last forty years, psychologists have found three methods which consistently improve memory for words: creating image for the (2)...you want to remember; using elaboration to form word associations; generation of the word (3)...complex processes such as clues. In research on trying to remember lists of words these (4)...have each produced improvements of ten percent over simply reading words once. (5)...might not sound much, but it is an average over many studies and often for things that are (6)...to remember. Now in a new series of studies, there’s a solid evidence for a fourth which could join the (7)...big memory enhancers. And, you’ll be happy to hear, it’s very simple. It only involves (8)...the word you want to remember to yourself. It doesn’t even seem to matter (9)...you don’tvocalize the word; it only has to mouthed. Across eight experiments in which (10)...were asked to read and remember lists of words, the researchers found memory improvements sometimes greater than ten percent. III. ERROR CORRECTION (0.5 PT) IDENTTYFY THE FIVE (05) MISTAKES IN THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE ANP CORRECT THEM. Environmental indicators play a fundamental role in our understanding of climate change and their causes. 1 2 Examples of climate change indicators include temperature, precipitation, sea level, and greenhouse gases in the 3 atmosphere. Climate change effects local ecosystems in a variety of ways. Ecologists are studying both the causes of climate change and its impact. For example, in the polar regions 4 5 melted ice has reduced the amount of solar heat that is reflected into space and also depleted the natural habitat 6 of polar bears. In tropical rainforest zones, deforestation has reduced amount of carbon dioxide that the 7 forests can absorb. Scientists and producers need to work together to develop methods of sustainable production 8 that will reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and helps slow down global warming.
