Pay attention to what you want to remember. The most important reason why people cannot remember other people's names is that they don't pay enough attention to the name. The same has an effect on "forgetting" if you've locked the door. So, whether you want to remember a name, an action, or any other information, make efforts to pay attention.

Avoid multitasking（多任务）whenever possible. Multitasking may be typical of modern times. Studies. however, have shown that 98% of the people cannot multitask.

Six children were in the hospital. They were very sick, but the doctors didn't know what to do. They called Dr. Richard Besser, an expert on strange illnesses.

First, Dr. Besser needed to find the cause of the illness. He looked for germs（细菌）in the children's bodies carefully. In every child, Dr. Besser found the same kind of the bacteria（病 毒）E. coli. He then looked at the bacteria's DNA. It showed him that this kind of E. coli was dangerous. He knew that the bacteria can get into the body through mouth, nose. eyes or a cut in the skin, which may do harm to our immunity（免疫力）. causing different kinds of illnesses like fever, headache and stomachache.

Dr. Besser knew E. coli could move from animals to humans. Had the children touched animals that carried the bacteria? Besser found other E. coli cases in the area where the children lived. But it wasn't enough. Dr. Besser then made a list of what the sick children had eaten. They had all eaten cheese, apple juice. and fish. He then made a list of what healthy children in the area had eaten. They had eaten the cheese and fish, but not the apple juice.

Besser went to where the apple juice was made. He saw animals around the apple trees. He also saw the workers using dirty apples that had fallen on the ground. More importantly, he saw that the apples were not washed before the juice was made, and that the juice was not heated. Doing these things would kill the bacteria. Besser then knew it was the apple juice that made the children sick.

So he treated the children with medicine who were less serious. Those who were more serious required several days' hospital slay. One or two weeks later. the children got better. And what Besser learned that day now helps keep others safe.
