"What's the name of our neighbour? 1 can't remember right now." Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this? Usually, we think older people's memories become bad because their brains get weak, but a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a different idea.

"The human brain works slower in old age," said lead scientist Michael Ramscar, "but only because they have stored more information over time."

The findings are based on a series of computer simulations(模拟)of learning and memory. Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer "reads" only so much, its performance on cognitive(认知)tests is similar to that of a young adult. But if the computer learned the experiences we might have over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult.

Often it was slower because increased "experience" had caused the computer's database(数据库)to grow, giving it more data to process-which takes time. This is similar to old people. Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?

The basic idea is that "The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a particular word." Benedict Carey, a science reporter, wrote in an article about the study.

Our words can be a valuable tool to cheer up a person who is down, By offering some kind words, we can help them face their present and future with courage.

A car accident happened to me when I was four years old. I had a scar (伤疤) below my nose. Because some children _____ me and called me“scarface”, I had little confidence (自信). Although my parents told me that I was ____, I did not see myself that way.

One afternoon, when school ended, I remained in my ____ , waiting for my mother. Miss Pratt sat at her desk with other teachers and talked. I looked at the clock and ____ it was time for me to get ready to leave, I put on my coat and hat. One of the teachers looked at my ____ and said with a surprise,“who is that girl? She is really pretty in her clothes.“Miss Pratt’s answer was,“I agree, Mary is pretty”

Pretty! The word surprised me. Teachers would not _____. Maybe it was true that I looked pretty.

At that moment I made up my mind to be the ____ child in my class to learn the tables (乘法表). No one was going to stop me. This time I _____ myself.

About one week later, Miss Pratt said to the class that I was the first one to learn the tables and she told us she was ____ me. The whole class smiled and gave me a big hand. I knew I was ____ by Miss Pratt’s words. This might not happen if I didn’t hear those kind words. I will never forget the words.
