高考英语冲刺阅读理解专。 NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all

their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents

can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive

these experiences. Now American researchers think they are

close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The

pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They

hope it might reduce , or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful

memories.

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The

drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far

the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be

reduced, not that the memories are erased.

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad

idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that

prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there

are many people who suffer from terrible memories.

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very

avoid the mistakes of the past.

\but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,

高考英语冲刺阅读理解。 Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent

visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a

mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger,

however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of

yours doesn’t come often.”

In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the

evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His

arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not

that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as

if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go.

Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of

Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.”

Such was his regard for her.
