参考解析
解析：本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第一段第三句中提到“Well, as time goes by, we tend to blame age for problems that are not necessarily age-related.”其实，随着时间的流逝，我们会将一些不一定与年龄相关的问题归咎于年龄。题干中描述的“你年纪越大，记得就越少，这不总是正确的”与原文意思相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据的信息句和上题信息句相同。题干所描述的“我们可以推理出记忆力的问题不是真的和年龄相关”，与原文不相符，因为“not necessarily”指“不一定”，而不是指“not really"（不是真的）。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第三段第二句："According to psychologists, as we age, our memory mechanism isn't broken, it's just different.”据心理学家说，当我们变老时，我们的记忆机能不会失效，只是变得和以前不一样了。题干中所陈述的“当我们变老，我们的记忆机能失效，所以它就和以前不一样了”，这个说法与原文恰恰相反，所以选B。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第四段："There are steps you can take to improve your memory,though you have to work to keep your brain in shape .It's like having a good body.You can't go to the gym once a year and expect to stay in top form.”虽然你工作以使你的大脑保持良好状态，但也有一些步骤可以用来提高记忆力。就像拥有一个好身体一样，你不能每年只去一次健身房还期望自己处于巅峰状态。题干陈述“你必须工作以使你的大脑保持灵活，就如同你努力运动使你保持体形一样”，这与原文意思相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第五段第二、三句："Pay attention to what you want to remember.Then give some meaning to it.”关注你想要记忆的东西，并且给它以某种意义。依此推出AM代表的意思应为“attention and meaning"。而题干中说的是“注意力和记忆”与原文不符，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是倒数第二段的第一句和第三句："We can also eat to aid our memory power.”我们还可以通过饮食来帮助我们提高记忆力。"Another low-tech way to improve memory is to get adequate rest.”另外一种低科技的提高记忆力的方法就是要有足够的休息。题干中陈述“对食物正确的选择和大量的休息对记忆有益”，这与原文意思相符，所以选A。
