It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (79)The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. (80)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"—ready for instant use. An average U. S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a persons memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.
According to the passage, memory is considered to be______.
A.the basis for decision making and problem solving
B.an ability to store experiences for future use
C.an intelligence typically possessed by human beings
D.the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words

根据下面内容,回答题:
The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat.Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer"s question.After the final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped.The crowd went wild !
The horse"s name was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍)act in the early 1900s, in Europe.When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner,Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves.For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof.Even more remarkable,the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse.A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man"s!
It wasn"t until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed.The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals.The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd"s reaction.Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal,when Hans reached the right answer.Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome(综合征 ), whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!
