Do you remember the name of your kindergarten...

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do. Her name is Mrs. White.

I don’t remember much about what we learned in her 36 , but my mother once told me we used to 37   a lot. And I would   38  what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many 39  , but no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a “Good”! That made my heart filled with 40 , but worried my mother. So one day when she met Mrs. White. She asked her why she never 41  my mistakes; why she never red-penciled in the wrong 42  of words or pointed out grammatical errors.

My mother said Mrs. White said “The children are just 43  to get excited about using words, about 44  sentences. I don’t want to dampen that 45  with red ink. Spelling and grammar can 46 . The wonder of words won’t …” And maybe she didn’t 47  it exactly like that because it was a long time ago and 48  my mother told me was just what she could remember.

Thanks to Mrs. White, I 49  up learning to use words with loving 50 . I had no qualms （顾虑）about writing what I meant 51  I couldn’t quite spell it out. A thought comes into my mind that if Mrs. White had used her red pen precisely, I 52  wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look 53  now and think she must have been a rather 54  teacher ——to exercise such red-pen-restraint （不纠错）——to 55  the joy, wonder and excitement of expression.

Why is it that you can remember the name of your childhood best friend that you haven't seen in years yet easily forget the name of a person you just met a moment ago？In other words, why are some memories stable over decades, while others disappear within minutes？

Caltech researchers carried out their work about memories in the laboratory. The research team developed a test to examine mice's neural（神经的）activity as they learn about and remember a new place. In the test, a mouse was placed in a straight enclosure( 围 场 ), about 5 feet long with white walls. Unique symbols marked different locations along the walls. Sugar water（a treat for mice）was placed at either end of the track.

When a mouse was placed in the track, it was unsure of what to do at first and wandered left and right until it came across the sugar water. In these cases, single neurons were activated when the mouse took notice of a symbol on the wall. Over numerous experiences with the track, the mouse became familiar with it and remembered the locations of the sugar water. As the mouse became more familiar, more and more neurons were activated when seeing each symbol on the wall. Essentially, the mouse was recognizing where it was with respect to each unique symbol.

To study how memories disappear over time, the researchers then kept back the mice from the track for up to 20 days. Upon returning to the track after this break, mice that had formed strong memories encoded（编码）by higher numbers of neurons remembered the task quickly. Even though some neurons showed different activity, the mouse's memory of the track was clearly identifiable when researchers analyzed the activity of large groups of neurons.

This work shows that memories might disappear more rapidly as we age because a memory is encoded by fewer neurons, and if any of these neurons fail, the memory will be lost. The study suggests that one day, designing treatments that could encourage a higher number of neurons to encode a memory could help prevent memory loss.

1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To introduce the topic of the text.

B.To show the examples of bad memory.

C.To compare different people's memories.

D.To prove the importance of childhood memories.

2.During the research, the mouse _______

A.lost interest in the symbols soon

B.had to climb over the long white wall

C.would get sugar water as their rewards

D.wandered left and right nervously all the time

3.What is special about the mice that remembered the task quickly after the break?

A.They had their neurons show different activity.

B.They love sugar water better than other mice.

C.They stayed in the track for over 20 days.

D.They possessed more activated neurons.

4.What does the last paragraph imply?

A.Mice's memory seems better than humans

B.The aging process of humans is unavoidable.

C.Memory loss is expected to be cured in the future.

D.The study has found the way to prevent neurons from failing.
