If, like most people, you have trouble recalling the names of those you have just met, try this: The next time you are introduced, plan to remember the names. Say to yourself, "I'll listen carefully; I'll repeat each person's name to be sure I've got it, and I will remember." You'll discover how effective this technique is and probably recall those names for the rest of your life. 49 The main idea of the paragraph maintains that memory A. always operates at peak efficiency C. breaks down under great strain 1 B. improves if it is used often D. becomes unreliable if it tires
