27、Can we forget bad memories? Someone might tell you that time is the only “cure”. But this might be not true.
Researchers at Canada’s McGill University have tested a pill that can help you forget bad memories. They tested it on 60 people and found it to be successful.
All 60 people had experienced painful romantic relationships and wanted to forget them. In the study, they were asked to write about these bad memories. Then, they took a pill that is usually used to treat high blood pressure. They then recalled their bad memories by reading what they wrote earlier. In the end, they talked about their feelings, saying that they were finally able to forget their bad experiences.
Dr. Alain Brunet, who led the study, believes that the pill can ease the pain that bad memories bring. People can take it after bad things happen to them.
How did the pill do this? In fact, your memories change all the time. They’re like text files on your computer. Every time you recall and “open” the files, you might happen to make some changes and “save” them. Researchers believe that the pill can stop proteins in the brain from “re-saving” these memories. This means some details of the memory are lost.
However, there are some ethical worries about this treatment. Some people might use it to forget things that they should be learning from, such as when they committed a crime. People are discussing which kinds of memories should be forgotten with this pill.
How do we form memories?
The part of our brain known as the hippocampus is important for forming new memories. Scientists found it after studying a patient named Henry Molaison in the 1950s. After Molaison’s hippocampus got hurt during an operation, he couldn’t store new memories. But he could remember memories from before the operation. This means long-term memories are stored outside the hippocampus. Scientists believe they are stored in the neocortex, which controls attention and planning.
【1】The study found that the pill can help people ________.
A．recall happy memories
B．remember things more easily
C．control their blood pressure
D．forget bad experiences
【2】The 60 people who tested the pill did NOT ________.

【3】Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A．how our memories change over time

D．how the pill helps us forget bad memories
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A．The pill might come with some problems.
B．The pill can stop criminals from committing crimes.
C．The writer doesn’t think the pill is good.
D．Many people want to forget bad memories.
28、At first look, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore seems familiar to kids. The slowly moving sand, seabirds and miles of greenish-blue water all add up to one thing — the sea. But then, somewhere — maybe on the pile (堆) of sand called Dune Run — the kids stop, realize this is Michigan, a landlocked state in the US, and ask,“How did the sea get here?"
It didn't. This is Lake Michigan.It's a lake — a great one — and the water is fresh, not salty, says Lisa Myers, chief of interpretation (讲解) and visitor services at Sleeping Bear.
“When my family comes here from New England in the north-eastern US, they all have to taste the water", she says. “The area looks like Cape Cod in my home town. You can't believe this isn't the coast."
“Playing on the Dune Run is like being in a huge sandbox,"says Myers. But there's so much more. Help kids see the park through a wider lens (镜片) by walking along the sandy Lake Michigan beach.
“With their feet on the sand and in the water,kids can see there are waves (波浪),” says Myers,"They can watch fish,otters and beavers swimming in the lake."
July and August are best for water play, but winter is magical for kids, adds Myers."They can walk the beaches to see all the ice formations (形态) and crashing waves,”she says.“We offer snowshoe walks in January and February,when kids can look for marks left by animals. And when it' s windy, they can stand on the Dune Run and feel the forces of nature.The kids can run or roll down the hill, too, which is a whole lot of fun."
【1】What do the kids think of Sleeping Bear at first?
A．It is quite special.
B．It is in a saltwater lake.
C．It is a place by the sea.
D．It appears frightening.
【2】What can children do at the park in winter?

B．Search for animals footprints.
C．Use ice to create different things.
D．Watch the changes in water levels.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．A moving pile of sand.

29、Travelers to the Arctic islands of Svalbard would find a rough, ice-hardened land, sheltering polar bears in its frozen landscapes. This group of Norwegian islands is the land of the “midnight sun” with almost 24 hours of sunlight during the winter months. It is also home to one of the most important storage facilities in world farming — the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
The seed vault was opened in 2008 in an effort to safeguard the world’s food supply for future generations. Svalbard is the perfect frozen environment to house seed samples, set inside an Arctic mountain at 130 meters above sea level, so it is unlikely to be flooded. Low humidity , geological stability, and the surrounding permafrost can keep seed-keeping places cool, dry, and usable for centuries.
Seed gene banks from around the world have sent food crops seeds for safety in case a natural disaster or environmental damage destroys existing supplies. Worldwide there are more than 1.700 seed gene banks that store seeds locally and many choose to send back-up samples to facilities like the Svalbard’s vault.
There is space in the global vault for 4.5 million different crop varieties with each variety storing on average 500 seeds, meaning it can house 2.5 billon seeds. There are around one million seed samples from 80 institutes in the vault at present so there is a lot of spare capacity for the vegetables, grains, peas and beans that are banked annually. On the top of that, there are rare flowers from the Myanmar rain forests.
The largest numbers of samples in the vault are varieties of rice and wheat. The seed vault has been listed as one of the most influential projects of the past 50 years for its efforts. Seeds themselves are not kept for farmers or gardeners to grow produce. Their true value is as a genetic resource in plant upbringing to create new crop varieties.
【1】What makes Svalbard a global seed vault?
A．Its eco-friendly tourism.

【2】Why do many seed gene banks send food crop seeds to the Svalbard’s vault?
A．To protect them from climate changes.
B．To exchange them for new crop seeds.
C．To make sure of the safety of food supplies.

【3】What can be inferred about the Svalbard’s vault from Paragraph 4?
A．It values plant different types of plant.
B．It has little space for newcomers.
C．It is costly for most institutes.
D．It sees a big increase in seed samples every year.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To explain how to store seeds safely.
B．To introduce an influential seed vault.
C．To seek sponsors for world seed vaults.
D．To call on seed institutes to work together.
