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 wipe out, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing (释放) 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 wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.
The research has caused a great deal of argument(争议). 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.
"Some memories can ruin people"s lives. They come back to you when you don"t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I"m not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

Behavioral problems of gifted children could be mainly correlated(相关的) to their asynchronous(不同步的) development. This development means that the child has uneven(不均衡的) development in their mind, body and emotions. To explain further, a gifted child may live in different ages at once. He may show high intellectual(智力的) capabilities at some point but the time his emotions rule, he would go back to his true age going through tantrums(脾气发作) and endless sobbing(哭泣). He maybe find it happy playing with kids his age but the next day, he would be bored with that and he would find conversing with older kids to be more challenging.
Because of high intellectual level, a gifted child often acts differently in his own classroom. He has the thinking of being above from the rest of his classmates when it comes to grades, academic awards and school recognitions. In classroom discussions, the child may be very cooperative(合作的) having advanced knowledge in the lessons but it is mostly that he will suffer from boredom as he is not challenged by the lessons and he would feel no improvement with them.
小题1:Which of the following best explains the asynchronous development?
A A child has good development both in mind and body.
B A child cannot get along well with his classmates.
C A child is intellectually developed but not equal with emotionally.
D A child doesn’t feel happy with his school and teachers.
小题2:What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A How a gifted child gets along with his classmates.
B How to get a gifted child involved(被卷入) in a classroom discussion.
C What can arouse(激发) a gifted child’s interest.
D How a teacher should handle a gifted child in class.
小题3:We can infer from the passage that ______.
A we needn’t pay special attention to gifted children
B a gifted child is well above others in every way
C it’s best to teach a gifted child separately
D teaching a gifted child can be challenging
So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?
The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?
The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.
Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.
小题1:The first paragraph serves as a(n)______.
A.argument | B.comment | C.explanation | D.background |
A.They color the road lines. |
B.They are embedded in the Solar Road Panels. |
C.They are beneficial for nighttime driving. |
D.They can provide instant instructions. |
A.Guide them to a safer place. | B.Remind drivers to drive slowly. |
C.Frighten them away from the road. | D.Advise drivers to choose another way. |
A.provide heat for drivers in winter |
B.guide drivers who get lost on the highway |
C.melt snow and ice soon in winter |
D.help drivers see the road clearly in the sun |
Brighton is a small city but there’s probably as much going on here as anywhere in the country except London. Brighton has numerous entertainment facilities, which additionally serve a considerable business conference industry. There’s a huge range of entertainment venues, including comedy at the Brighton Komedia, world music, opera and ballet at the Brighton Dome, jazz at the Joogleberry, top stars at the Brighton Centre and pre-West End shows at the Theatre Royal.

Students at the two universities in the area give the city a youthful vitality (活力), and in the summer, thousands of young students from all over Europe gather in the city to attend language courses. In addition to the usual coastal attractions, vacationers are drawn to the city’s Georgian architecture, trendy shops, and fine restaurants.

There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
小题1:The most important things to learn a foreign language are .
A.understanding and speaking | B.hearing, speaking, reading and writing |
C.writing and understanding | D.memorizing and listening |
A.A good memory. | B.Speaking. | C.Practice. | D.Writing. |
A.we use a language in order to learn it |
B.we learn foreign language in order to use it |

How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.
There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.
小题1:According to this passage, ________ is very important to people in a disaster area.
A.transportation | B.modern technology | C.latest news | D.a new idea |
A.the world now seems smaller because of faster communication |
B.the world is actually smaller today |
C.the world is changing its size |
D.the distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812 |
A.by telephone and telegraph | B.by land | C.by air | D.by sea |
A.by important people | B.in 1812 | C.in America | D.in England |
