Reading comprehension.The brain receives information from the outside world through the sensory system. This information is gathered through the eyes, the nose, the ears, the mouth and the surface of the body.It is then kept in the memory. In fact, scientists do not fully understand how the memory works but they have not shown that there is any limit to the amount of information that the human brain can store. Also, it appears that the information is never lost. Very old people often remember things that happened in their childhood which have not come to their minds for sixty to seventy years. If we have stored something in our memory, it is here. But can we get it out again and use it? That is the difficulty.Some of the information we receive only goes into the Short Term Memory. We only keep this information for a minute or two, then we lose it. This temporary memory is very important in our thinking and understanding. It is used, for example, when you try to remember a name that someone told you a moment ago or a telephone number that you are going to dial. School children in class often seem to use the Short Term Memory if they are not interested in the subject. When school teachers describe this, they say that things go “in one ear and out in the other”. But if a child is interested, he puts the information in his Long Term Memory, and he never loses it (the course, sometimes he cannot bring it to mind). Long Term Memory depends heavily on our understanding of the meaning of the information we receive.( ) 1. Information is gathered through the ________ of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.A. senseB. experienceC. practiceD. brightness( ) 2. Scientists know ________.A. nothing about the memory of human beingsB. everything about the memory of human beingsC. something about the memory of human beingsD. anything about the memory of human beings( ) 3. The human brain seems to be able to store ________.A. a huge amounts of informationB. limited (有限的) amounts of informationC. much informationD. unlimited (无限的) amounts of information ( ) 4. Very old people can remember everything happened ________A. in the pastB. about seventy years agoC. in their thirtiesD. in their classroom( ) 5. If a school child is not interested in a subject, ________.A. what he learns is quickly forgottenB. what he learns is quickly memorizedC. what he learns is easily forgottenD. what he learns is easily memorized( ) 6. The better we understand the meaning of the information, ________.A. the more information we can put in our Short Term MemoryB. the more information we can put in our Long Term MemoryC. the less information we can put in our Short Term MemoryD. the less information we can put in our Long Term MemoryExercises for GrammarI.
