26、The more interested you are in a topic, the more likely you may be to form “false memories” about the events related to that topic.
“Most people are pretty confident about their own memory for some events, but new research shows that false memory is a lot more frequent than many people realize. In terms of daily life, the key point here may be to understand that someone who remembers an event differently from yours isn’t necessarily lying—someone’s memory may be faulty, or it might be you,” said study co-author Ciara Greene, a psychologist at the university College Dublin.
In the study, the researchers asked 489 people to read four news stories about events that were related to the topics they ranked as the most interesting, and four stories about events related to the topics they rated as the least interesting. In each case, three of these events really did occur, but the fourth one was made up.
It turned out that people tended to remember the stories of the topics they said they were more interested in compared with the topics they were not interested in. However, the participants also tended to store more false memories related to the topics they were interested in compared with the topics they were not interested in, the researchers found.
The more people know about a topic, the more memories related to this topic they have stored in their brains, the researchers said. Therefore, when a person meets new information on this topic, that information may find traces of similar memories that have already stored in the brain, Greene said.
“This can result in a sense of familiarity or recognition of the new material, leading to the conviction (确信) that the information has been met before and is in fact an existing memory,” Greene said. In other words, this new material or information may “feel” familiar and therefore the person may believe it must be true, he said.
Learning more about how false memories work may help protect against the harmful results of them, such as when eyewitness accounts(证言) of crimes are faulty.
【1】What Ciara said in Paragraph 2 suggests that you shouldn’t _________.
A. forget the frequency of false memory.
B. lie to someone with different memories.
C. believe faulty memories of other people.
D. completely trust your memory.
【2】In the study, people who were interested in a topic________.
A. were less likely to form false memories related to it
B. tended to remember false information about it
C. could remember any information about it easily
D. wanted to know more about it
【3】What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The harm of false information.
B. Why people have a poor memory.
C. Interesting topics may lead to false memories.
D. How to make a good memory for some events

29、Motion sickness is an uncomfortable feeling. The sickness it causes can strike people on an airplane, playing video games, or, commonly, when riding in a car. In a future where people may find themselves running around streets in self-driving vehicles, the problems could get worse.
We typically sense our physical position and movement in the world by relying on our eyes, the feeling we get in our body, and our inner ear. Motion sickness may develop when there's disagreement between what your eyes see and what your inner ear senses. If you're looking at your phone in a moving vehicle, your eyes see a stationary screen but your inner ear feels that you're moving. The result of that dissonance can cause sickness. The common-sense solution is to just stop looking at your phone, but some of the appeal of self-driving cars is that you could use the time to be productive or entertained by what's on a screen.
Researchers of a car-making company and a video game company have been studying ways to address these issues. And their solution uses an interesting medium: sound. The research had two goals: to explore if sound could help relieve motion sickness, and to help people trust self-driving cars more. They experimented with two different categories of sound: tips that tell passengers what's about to happen, and noises that alert passengers when the device has noticed something, like a pedestrian.
The most convincing experiment took place on a closed airport runway in Sweden, near Gothenburg, in August of last year. On that track, brave participants had to ride in the backseat of a car driven by a human and read from a tablet while the car navigated the course. With just 20 people, the study was small, but according to researchers, the presence of sound tips made people report that they felt less ill. Participants said the sounds helped prepare them physically, or adjust their bodies for what was about to happen.
【1】When does motion sickness usually happen?
A.Sleeping during travels.
B.Closing eyes on vehicles.
C.Driving vehicles speedily.
D.Riding in moving vehicles.
【2】What does the underlined word "dissonance" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Confusion.
B.Potentiality.
C.Randomness.
D.Disagreement.
【3】What is the attitude of the author to the method of sound tips?
A.Uncertain.
B.Optimistic.
C.Concerned.
D.Dissatisfaction.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A study of motion sickness.
B.Self-driving vehicles.
C.A convincing experiment.
D.The cause and handling of motion sickness.
