一、完形填空

When you say that someone has a good memory, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying

that the person has fast recall or that he or she 1 information quickly? Or maybe you just

mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is 2

to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades

say they are still trying to 3 exactly what it is. We do know that a particular memory is

not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. 4 , a memory is made up of bits and

pieces of information stored all over the brain. Perhaps the best way to 5 memory is to

say that it is a process—a process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice

and repetition can help to 6 the pieces that make up our memory of that information.

Memory can be 7 affected by a number of things. 8 nutrition can affect a

person’s ability to store information. Excessive alcohol use can also weaken memory and cause

permanent 9 to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a

person’s ability to notice certain things, thus making it 10 to register information in the

brain.

When people talk about memory, they often 11 short-term memory and long-term

memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the

telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your

short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds,

or half a minute. 12 , you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s

number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which 13

information about things you have learned and experienced through the years.

Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you

did not learn it well enough 14 . For example, if you meet some new people and right

away forget their names, it is because you did not 15 the names at the first few seconds

when you heard them.
