    Kit-ken Lim,a student from Taiwan,China,is studying in Chicago. The following excerpts (摘录) are taken from her diary during her first three months in the United States.

August 31 

    People often refer to Taipei as “The Sleepless City^, but I didn't understand why until I got to . Chicago. I was shopping wkh another student this evening when suddenly the store owners along the street started pulling down their gates and locking their doors,even though it was still light out. This is something I’ve never seen in Taiwan,where the busiest streets “stay awake” all night. You can go out to restaurants,stores,and movies even long after midnight. 

September 5 

    After the first week of class,I’ve found some differences between Chinese students and American students. Whenever a teacher asks a question,my classmates give their answers almost immediately. And some of them interrupt the teacher. In Taipei,we’ re usually quiet in class so the teacher can finish on time. We tend to ask the teacher questions afterward. I don’t know whether it's acceptable here for students to ask teachers questions after class. October 6

    I met a really interesting local girl in my neighborhood café. I was writing a letter to my mother,and she asked me what language I was writing in. We ended up talking for about an hour!People in Chicago seem very comfortable with each other. It seems quite natural for two people to just start talking in a café. This is something that doesn’t happen in Taipei. At home,I would never just start chatting with a stranger. I like that because it's easy to meet new people here.

       C  ★★★★☆

    For adults,memories tend to lose with time. But there are conditions under which the opposite is true for small children.

    While playing a video game that asked them to remember relations between objects,4-and 5-year-olds who replayed the game after two days scored more than 20 percent higher than kids who replayed it later the same day. “An idea is that kids can be smarter than we thought they could be,” said Kevin Darby,co-author of the study. “They just need more time."  

    The findings give ?s. a window into understanding memory. First,we showed that if children are given pieces of similar information in a close "we 5/7训(时间跨度) ，there is almost a complete loss of memory. Second,we showed that introducing delays prevents that loss. It seems surprising that children can almost completely forget what they have just learned,and that their memories can actually improve with time.

    We know from previous research that kids struggle to form difficult connections in the moment,so we thought that with some time off and periods of sleep they might be able to do better. And it turned out that when they had time to remember the information,they did better.

    Researcher Slo?tsky said that the study does not in any way suggest that kids can absorb (吸收)adult-sized quantities of information if only they are given time to sleep on it. Rather,it means that they can remember kid-sized quantities of information in given time,even if they seem forgetful in the moment. “We’ve shown that it's possible for children's memories to improve with time,but it's not like we’ ve discovered a method for super-charging how much they can remember,” he said.

9. What can we learn from Kevin Darby’s words?

   A. Children are good at learning things.

   B. Children can remember better than thought.  

    C. Children are better at remembering than adults.

   D. Children can learn better through computer games.

10. The third paragraph is mainly about.

   A. the meaning of the study

   B. the problems with the study 

    C. the background of the study   

    D. the process of the study

11. The purpose of what Sloutsky said is .

   A. to provide an example for the study

   B. to stress the importance of the study 

    C. to avoid misunderstanding the study

   D. to remind people to put the study into practice
