If you look for a book as a present for a child，you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Potter． J．K Rowling’s wizard is not alone．The past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings．

Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children．According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn’t like reading at all．In 2003, 35% didn’t．And around 6% of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly．

Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher．An evaluation this year reported that children on the school made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age．

International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school, they read well, but read text often for fun than those elsewhere．Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success．According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage．

You can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.

Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.

Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand.　　 It just means　 you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your　　 memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by　　 creating new neurons(神经元）in our　 hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写)existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.

If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brain ’ s learning region，try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.

When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs，the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern，the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead，the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.

We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall(记忆）can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.

1.How can we help our brains produce more neurons?　　 '

A. By having deep sleep frequently.

B. By practicing swimming regularly.

C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.

D. By learning new skills constantly.

2.Which of the following can best replace “facilitate” underlined in paragraph 5?

A. postpone B. repeat

C. promote D. abuse

3.What conclusion can be drawn from the text?

A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.

B. Decisions can’t be made without memories.

C. We shouldn't stress total recall too much.

D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Caution：do remember to forget

B. Why and how people choose to forget

C. Want to become smarter? Learn to forget

D. Being forgetful might mean you are　　 smarter
