Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.
Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace（记忆痕）.” What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.
Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered.
One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.
1.We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that ___________ .
| A．bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark |
| B．it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of |
| C．chemical substances carry certain memories |
| D．memory is stored in the brain as a substance |

The Things That Keep Us From Succeeding
We have always been told not to fear failure because it is essential to success. So we should embrace failure or at least the possibility of failure.1..If you’re not reaching the kind of success you imagine，one or more of the following things might well be true of you，too.
NO.1: You don’t have a goal. A lot of time we find ourselves struggling through a day-to-day routine that isn’t getting us anywhere because we don’t know where we want to go. Sometimes we had goals when we set ourselves on a particular path，but we’ve changed along the way and those goal s are no longer that important.2.，figuring out what your goals are is important.
NO.2: You don’t have a vision. Setting goals is important but isn’t enough to drive you to the finish line；it’s important，too，to be able to imagine yourself as the achiever of your goals. If goal s are the end result of a journey，your vision is the fuel to get you there.
NO.3: You don’t have a plan. If goals are your destination and a vision is your fuel，your plan is the map to get you there.3..The world is full of people with goals they have never accomplished because they didn’t have a plan—don’t be one of them.
NO.4: You’re too certain or not certain enough. Too much certainty creates inflexibility. If you’re sure that your plan is correct，and refuse to accept the possibility of error，you may well find yourself stuck when an unexpected change comes about. However strong your plan and however sure you are of your goals，make room for periodic reassessment.
4..If you refuse to take a step because you aren’t positive that it will move you towards success，you won’t make any better progress than if you had no goals at a11.Keep your eyes open and be willing to change，but have faith in yourself，too.
NO.5:5..Often we close ourselves off from other people not because we’re afraid that they will influence us but that we will influence them. We are afraid that our brilliant ideas will be taken up by someone else and no longer be solely ours. So we avoid sharing our passions，and spend our energy jealously guarding our “secret” rather than simply moving forward. In the end，we turn our passions into burdens that are difficult to carry instead of a joy.
A. Whatever the case
B. Whatever the cause
C. You worry about being copied
D. You don’t learn from your mistakes
E. At the same time，too little certainty will fail you
F. However，fear isn’t the only thing that keeps us from succeeding
G. Without it，you have no idea what immediate steps to take to achieve your goals
