Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a "memory trace (记忆痕) ". What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.
Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out bow a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as measure of how much a person has remembered.
One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.
We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that ______.
A.bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark
B.it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of
C.chemical substances carry certain memories
D.memory is stored in the brain as a substance
The paparazzi defended themselves with a number of arguments. Princess Diana was a public figure and therefore newsworthy. She had openly and often attracted media attention both for selfish reasons (to win public support during her marital difficulties) and for good causes (fighting AIDS and banning land mines). The fact that the paparazzi were not employed by a specific news organization should not mean they were less worthy of press freedom. Virtually every major news operation of any standing in the world employs people like them. Moreover, even the so-called mainstream press regularly paid for the product of their efforts. They did what they did because people wanted their kind of news coverage.
Many news operations were unconvinced. In England, France, Germany, and the United States, several media outlets declared that they would never again purchase paparazzi photos and videos. In Great Britain, the head of the national press council called for severe restrictions on the movement and functioning of these paparazzi.
