23、C第4天When you say that someone has a good memory, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she _51_ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is _52_ to say exactly what me
24、mory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to _53_ exactly what it is. We do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. _54_, a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain. Per
25、haps the best way to _55_ memory is to say that it is a processa process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice and repetition can help to _56_ the pieces that make up our memory of that information.Memory can be _57_ affected by a number of things. _58_ nutrition can affect a
26、 persons capability of storing information. Excessive alcohol use can also weaken memory and cause permanent _59_ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a persons power to notice certain things, thus making it _60_ to register information in the brain.When people tal
27、k about memory, they often _61_ short-term memory and long-term memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you dont call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-ter
28、m memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. _62_, you dont need to look in the telephone book for your best friends number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which _63_ information about things you have learned and experienced through the years.Why do you f
29、orget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough _64_. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not _65_ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them.51. A. collects B. proces

95、. Its the age when we have to deal with the most41 in our life. This transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood is 42for some, but rough for others. The most important thing about being a teenager is 43. When we are teenagers, we would get blamed or even punished for anything wrong we do. Its all n
96、ot so44about being a teenager though. We dont have to have our 45 take us to somewhere we want to go or we couldnt go before. We can have 46with friends or even alone, which we couldnt have because we were too 47 to know what pleasure is! Its a very enjoyable time of life. During this age, we are ol
97、d enough to48 what is good for us, and make decisions without 49others. But like the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue 50 .” During this period, we are having much51for our studies. If we dont pass, we wont get jobs, and things will take a turn for th

But I think the transition from a kid to an adult is much56 than being already an adult. What we do in our teenage years will57what we become and how w

105、 coming from. Through the44I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her. She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice45me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take46to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didnt know. She might
106、 have felt my47for she occasionally looked in my direction. By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked48and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.I asked her49, “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of th

Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a52time lately, but youve made me53again.” “Im happy that I could be54to
108、 you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?” I told her my story and said, “Im not so55about what to do.” “You see, heres the56,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Dont look defeated, because57comes in different ways and if your head is

But what42my four-year-old grandson was the tennis court.Two kids were riding their bikes in and out of the lin

I told him that the48a

He was just four years old,49he could clearly see two kids riding their bikes where they shouldnt be50.We watched for a little while and then he reached up to51the gate. I thought that he wanted to watch the kids more clearly.52, he walked straight
116、over to the couple and asked if they53what the sign said. Oh, what a54four-year-old!The man gave me an unfriendly look and then said55that it didnt matter.I led my grandson away from the tennis court and told him that sometimes people dont like56rules.By now, those kids are probably in middle school
