After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his
generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very 36 lesson in life by the great
example you 37 When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who
had __38__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any
39 , you went over and put the 40 $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and
Said 42_ like, "Some kid will really enjoy 43 this. "
Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn't have
45 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, "How much 46
is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his ear 47 he had been
looking at the wrong gauge (计量器) and had put in 15 48 , which came to just
over 49'_. That is an easy mistake 50 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the cafe in
Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 and said, "But why would you do
this for me?" I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that "it's 53 to give than receive". Now
when I sec a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you
and leave it _55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always. Mum.

PEOPLE who have had a painful experience may wish they could wipe the memory from their minds. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, US, say that this may someday be possible.
A drug remains far off, but researchers have laid a foundation with their discovery that proteins can be removed from the brain’s fear center to cut memories forever.
Previous research had already shown that a special behavior therapy (治疗) could cut painful memories. But relapse (复发) was possible because the memory hadn’t necessarily disappeared.
By looking at that process, Richard Huganir and Roger Clem, two researchers from Johns Hopkins University, discovered a “window of vulnerability (脆弱的窗口)” when proteins are created. The proteins help signals travel within the brain as painful memories are made. Because the proteins are unstable, they can be easily removed with drugs or behavior therapy to cut memories.
Researchers used mice to find the window, but think the process would be the same in humans. They used electric shocks to make the mice fear a certain sound. The sound triggered (触发) the creation of the proteins, called calcium-permeable (钙通透性) AMPARS, which formed for a day or two in the fear centers of the mice’s brains.
The researchers are working on ways to reopen the window by recalling (唤醒) the painful memory and using drugs to remove the protein. They published their report online last month in Science Express.
Their research has drawn interest and concern from experts in mental healthcare.
Kate Farinholt, a mental health expert with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Maryland, US, said many people suffering from a painful event might benefit from erasing a memory. “Erasing a memory and then everything bad built on that is an amazing idea, and I can see all sorts of potential ,” she said.
But there are a lot of unanswered questions, too.
“Completely deleting a memory is a little scary. How do you remove a memory without removing a part of someone’s life,” Farinholt said. “And is it best to do that, considering that people grow and learn from their experiences?”
