But they worked hard to make sure Chan and their other two daughters had the best opportunities(机会) possible. Chan went to Harvard University in 2003 and now works as a doctor.

Can you imagine a pair of shoes that could tie themselves? All you would have to do is to put them on and push a button. Well, this idea is becoming a real reality.

B
I found out one time that helping someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me said something to me in a low voice, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I could lend her a pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink(墨水) and would not write. I took a pen out of my pencil box and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been handed in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students could leave. As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that the teacher thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. So I went to the teacher and tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just helping the girl by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.
1.The story happened when __________.
A. the writer was eight years old B. the writer was in Grade 8
C. the writer was visiting a girl D. the writer sang in a low voice
2.The girl wanted to borrow a pen because __________.
A. she couldn’t afford one B. she lost hers on the way to school
C. there was no ink in hers D. hers was taken away by the teacher
3.The teacher asked the writer __________.
A. to put his pen on the desk B. to help the girl after the test
C. to leave the room at once D. to stay behind after the test
4.Which of the following is the thing that the teacher didn’t talk about?
A. You should be helpful when you grow up. B. It’s important to be independent.
C. You should be responsible for what you do. D. You shouldn’t do dishonest things.
5.Which of the following is true?
A. The writer and the girl cheated on the final test.
B. The writer helped the girl by lending his pen to her.
C. The girl tried to explain the truth to the teacher.
D. The teacher finally realized she had made a mistake.

Imagine you could remember everything that ever happened to you. The detail（细节）of every book you have ever read. Every moment in class you have ever taken. A perfect memory sounds like a wish come true, doesn't it?
But as the old saying goes, Be careful what you wish for. Believe it or not, there are some people in the world who have near perfect memories of their experiences. They remember almost every detail about almost every day of their lives. People with this ability have a "highly superior autobiographical memory（超级自传体记忆）," or HSAM.
If you are asked this evening to describe the events of your day in as much as detail as possible, you will probably do pretty well. But if I ask you to provide details about what you did on March 3, 2012, do you know what day of the week it was? What did you eat for lunch? Was it cold that day? You would have no idea where to even begin.
A person with HSAM would be able to provide all those details for almost any day of his or her life. In addition to（除了）every great moment they remember, they also remember each time they were embarrassed（难堪）or deeply sad. The negative（消极的）events replay in their minds in equal detail as the great moments. Sometimes，forgetting isn’t such a bad thing.
In fact, for most of us, forgetting is a natural part of how our brains function（运转）. If we don't need to remember something or try to make an effort to remember it, the information fades away（消逝）and is lost. But for those people with HSAM, the problem is that they are unable to forget. All of their experiences, even the most unimportant， remain clear to them all the time.
Research has shown that the brains of people with HSAM do not simply function differently than other brains; their brains are structurally different. By studying the brains of people with HSAM, scientists may be able to find ways of helping others have better memories—not perfect memories with an inability to forget, but better memories.
1.The writer mentions three questions in Paragraph 3 to show that .
A.many people would like to share their life experience with others
B.few people can describe the events of the present moments
C.some people find it difficult to tell others about their life
D.most people can't remember lots of details in the past
2.People with HSAM .
A.often feel sorry or deeply sad for others
B.want negative events to stay clear in their minds
C.remember both great and bad moments in details
D.forget their unimportant experiences in daily life
3.The writer probably agrees that .
A.practice makes memory perfect
B.forgetting is important and helpful
C.people should remember everything
D.scientists should help people with HSAM
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Importance of Memory
B.The Imperfect Gift of Memory
C.The New Research of Memory
D.The Advantages of People with HSAM
