His achievements included memorizing 2,265 binary digits in 30 minutes and the order of 16 packs of playing cards in just an hour. But at the age of 26, he was getting restless, and wanted to help others to learn like him. “The memory techniques take a certain discipline,” he says. “I wanted a tool that would just allow you to relax into learning”. The resulting brainchild was Memrise. Launched in 2010, the website and application are now helping more than 1.4 million users to learn foreign languages, history and science with the ease of Cooke’s memory powers. It has been followed by similar apps that also take the pain out of learning — both for individuals, and in schools, with some teachers finding benefits that even Cooke couldn’t have predicted. “It’s very powerful”, says Dominic Traynor, who teaches Spanish ata primary school in London, UK. “I would say we’ve covered a year’s worth of work in the first six months”. As Cooke first set out developing his idea, he turned to his former classmate at Oxford University, Princeton neuroscientist Greg Detre, to help update his tried-and-tested techniques with the latest understanding of memory. Together, they came up with some basic principles that would guide Memrise’s progress over the following years. The first is the idea of “elaborative” learning — in which you try to give extra meaning to a fact to try to get it tostick in the mind. These “mems”, as Cooke and Detre call them, are particularly effective if they tickle the funny bone — and so for each fact that you want to learn, you are encouraged to find an amusing image or phrase that helps plant the memory in your mind. It’s often silly, but that’s the point — an absurd image is memorable. Although you can find other apps designed for learning and drilling in this way, Memrise makes use of another trick. Detre had found that the most effective time to reactivate a memory is when you feel that itis half-remembered, half-forgotten— when you feel it’s on the “tip of your tongue” but you can’t quite reach it, So the Memrise developers have designed an algorithm that predicts the arrival of that agonising state, 98and then springs a test on you. Self-testing turned out to be more ef fective than creative techniqueslike drawing diagrams and mind maps. 22 Which of the following is TRUE about Ed Cooke in his 20s? A He was a ten-time World Champion in memorizing. B He was good at combining hard work and relaxation. C . He was an expert in playing sixteen card games. D He was eager to make people’s studies easier. 23 What is the main benefit of Memrise? A. Itis available in several languages. B_ It is accompanied by ten applications. C_ Ithelps teachers to schedule their work. D It accelerates the academic process. 24 What does “elaborative” learning involve? A. Building funny links between ideas. Tickling people to make them laugh. Creating silly images for amusement. on) Memorising absurd facts and phrases. 25 What “trick” does Memrise employ? A Itoffers students funny tests. B_ It helps to draw mind maps. C_ It holds well-timed check-ups. D_ It teaches memory algorithms. 26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? A. Humoristic approach facilitates memorizing. B Cooke is able to remember thousands of figures. C Memrise has become more efficient than expected. D Teachers use Memrise to develop students’ creativity. 99Task6 Read the texts below. Match choices A—H to texts 27—32. There are two choices you do not need to use.

Founded by an Australian couple who found their inspiration in the big, friendly barbecues they knew from back home, Kiosco rapidly became the go-to place for a decent burger in the city. Expect organic beef from the Pyrenees, home-made sauces, crispy potato wedges and a menu of some 14 different burger kinds, including a wild boar burger and a veggie burger plus a selection of local drinks and craft beer. 28 Located at the far end of the Barceloneta, just a stone’s throw away from the beach, Makamaka Beach Burger Café is a casual burger joint with a retro surf theme. ‘The choice of burgers is pretty impressive, but the monthly special — and matching cocktail — are usually tempting enough to coax you out of your comfort zone and dare to try something a little different. Despité its location and American-style theme, Makamaka has a strong local fanbase, and you only need to come for one of their popular themed nights to see why. 29 Open since 2006 in a corner of Barcelona’s hip El Born neighbourhood, Pim Pam Burger is an unpretentious burger joint that prides itself on offering classic, home-made burgers. Most burgers come with lettuce, tomato and onion with room for variation on the type of cheese (cheddar, roquefort, three cheeses...). Not the kind of place where each ingredient comes with its own background story, the key to Pim Pam Burger's popularity is its simplicity: a fluffy bun, a flavoursome meat patty and fresh ingredients. 30 If these days Poble-Sec is famous for its trendy tapas bars and gourmet restaurants, which have made this neighbourhood a top foodie destination, De Paula is an altogether more down-to-earth eatery. Step through the door, and you’re immediately greeted by the sight of the flame grill and the compact open kitchen where all the burgers are prepared to order. The burgers, all named after local streets or landmarks, are 100original without being too extravagant, but the extras are where De Paula really stands out: grilled corn on the cob smothered in butter or patatasbravas with house-made aioli. 31 Another made-in-Barcelona burger joint, Timesburg has grown in recent years to include some eight restaurants across the city, all of which are found outside the city centreand the main tourist hotspots. What makes Timesburg burgers stand out — apart from the ‘Timesburg’ stamp-mark on their burger buns — is their gourmet selection of ingredients and willingness to make their burgers more than just a fast-food snack. ‘The Kobe burger is made with wagyu beef, while the French fries are all cooked in olive oil for a real Spanish touch. 32 Located in uptown Barcelona, far from the tourist sights and the high-streets, La Burg is a cozy burger joint with more of a wine-bar feel than that of a fast-food joint. Determined to give burgers a ‘gourmet’ twist, La Burg works only with grass-fed beef to make its generous burger patties. The menu abounds with the kind of ingredients you'd expect ina fancy restaurant: wagyu beef, truffle oil, poached eggs, shiitake mushrooms and French cheeses. Even the wine list includes some interesting bottles that start from €14 a bottle and range upwards to €40.
