39、comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Readers Digest knows the power that words have to move people to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isnt always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: Tim
40、e is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey!

The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the in
46、formation over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: b
47、eginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects
48、had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would
49、 be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the sam
50、e meaning. Hennings results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.68.

54、 consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials and the speed of flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use for each person. The history of industrial development has a great number of examples.In 1870, homes and mules were the prim
55、e source of power on U.S. farmers. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings, a ratio (比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its
56、consultants were of an economic or technological mm of mind. Had they been economists, they would probably have projected the 1970 home or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been technologists, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (受约束) to i
57、ndustry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm.
