Why Do We Forget Things?

When it comes to having perfect memories, it is apparent that we humans must have had some faults in our blueprints(蓝图)! Why don’t we remember everything that we want to remember? It makes us feel upset and get discouraged. 1. However, it’s true that we are all forgetful.

2.These are stored in what we call our “long-term memory”. What about before age three? Sigmund Freud, a doctor of Vienna, discovered the fact that we forget most of our early childhood. 3.They have different opinions. A very good theory, born from the results of experimentation with babies, is that absence of language ability at the time of an event stopped us from describing it to others.

4. Experts say that you can keep about seven things in your memory at once for up to three days. During that time, you may forget something in order to put something else in its place, or you put it into long-term memory. What goes into short-term memory are things you’ve learned about recently, in the past day or two. 5.For example, you may have met your favorite star last week, and this week you can tell all the details to a friend. A simple example to explain your short-term memory is to look at a list of twenty words for a minute or two. You will discover that you cannot remember more than about seven of them and that they are the ones in the beginning and at the end of the list because your mind has judged them to be more important than those in the middle.

A.Scientists now know that it may take longer to remember things for the old.

B.However, it is widely recognized that short-term memory can be improved.

C.Sometimes, it even causes us to lose self-respect or others to think less of us.

D.Psychologists have been studying what causes this forgetfulness since Freud’s time.

E.Most of us have vivid memories of our lives from about age three to our present ages.

F.Only if something really unusual happens does it stay in your short-term memory for longer.

G.The other type of memory, the “short-term memory”, is what we are usually referring to when we say, “I forgot.”

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older, we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship. When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn't worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitment and communication.

When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, "I got my feelings hurt", rather than "You hurt my feelings", you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."

1. The writer believes that challenges ________.

A. are always born with friendship

B. help build friendship

C. are never worth attention

D. help us grow

2.If your friend hurts your feelings, you are advised to ____.

A. point out your friend's mistake

B. calm yourself down

C. start a proper conversation

D. run away from it

3. The whole passage is centered on the relationship（关系） between ___.

A. friendship and challenges

B. commitment and friendship

C. friendship and growth

D. challenges and chances

When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary（想象中的）friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities（性格）. As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.

True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.

Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional（情感的） support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.

Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

高一英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.

Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.

At once he heard a police whistle(口哨声), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.”

“But the sign there doesn’t say ‘STOP’,” answered Mr Williams, “ It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”

The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched(抓) his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street !”

1.Mr Williams was driving ____ one evening.

A. to a party                          B. to his office

C. home after work                  D. to work from home

A. was driving at a high speed         B. was driving onto the main road

A. he didn't see any “STOP” sign there
