Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious (有意识的) effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.

     Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.

     Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop( 理发店)  waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.

     We always seem to find something funny and interesting in incidents(事件) caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.

If you want to have a good memory, _____.

    A. you should ask someone else to help you to remember things

    B. you should make a conscious effort to practice and exercise

    C. you should never stop learning

    D. you should try hard to remember things

In the passage, the writer seems to tell us _____.

    A. forgetting things is serious and dangerous

    B. always forgetting things is understandable

    C. forgetting things at times is natural

    D. the ways to protect yourself from memory “tricks”

The best title for this passage is“_____”.

    A. How to Get a Good Memory 

    B. Tricks’ of Memory

    C. The Danger of Forgetfulness and Absent-mindedness

    D. Get Rid of Absent-mindedness

A team from Krakow, in Poland, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (机能性核共振成像)(FMRI)to assess brain activity when 40 volunteers were shown various images.Men showed activity in areas which dealt with what action they should take in order to avoid or face up to danger.But the study found more activity in the emotional centers of women's brains.The researchers, from another university, carried out scans on 21 men and 19 women.Brain activity was monitored while the volunteers were shown images of objects and images from ordinary life designed to remind different emotional states.
The images were displayed in two runs.For the first run, only negative pictures were shown.For the second run, only positive pictures were shown.
While viewing the negative images, women showed stronger and broader activity in the left thalamus(神经床).This is an area which passes sense information to the pain and pleasure centres of the brain.Men showed more activity in an area of the brain called the left insula(脑岛), which plays a key role in controlling natural functions, including breath, heart rate and digestion.Generally, activity in this area tells the body to either run away from danger, or meet it head on - the so-called "fight or flight response".
While viewing positive images, women showed stronger activity in an area of the brain associated with memory.With men, the stronger activity was recorded in an area associated with visual processing.Dr Urbanik believes these differences suggest women may analyze positive stimuli(刺激)in a broader social context and associate positive images with a particular memory.
For instance, viewing a picture of a smiling child might remind memories of a woman's own child at this age.On the contrary, male responses tend to be less emotional.
1.The research shows that men response differently to__________compared with women.
A.different images    B.ordinary life 
C.different activities        D.medical scan
2.According to the passage, when faced with danger, ____________.
A.women react more slowly than men       B.women usually try to avoid it 
C.men usually have no reaction         D.men react to it more directly
3.What is discussed in the 4 th paragraph?         .
A.Men and women’s different memories   B.The different responses to the children
C.Different reactions to positive stimuli    D.Negative results of the visual processing
3.The passage mainly develops______.
A.by inferring                   B.by comparing  
C.by listing examples       D.by giving explanations
