21、 Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding. But whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking.
This is strange. In many other cases, our memories let us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, don’t we? So why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding, a long time ago?
It’s said that there are many types of memories. They are stored in different areas of our brains. Memories of experiences (e.g., our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e.g., the capital of France) are called declarative memories(陈述性记忆).These memories can be communicated to others. Skills such as playing an instrument (乐器) or riding a bike are called procedural memories(程序性记忆). These memories are responsible for our performance.
Scientists have done many experiments on different memory types. Perhaps the most famous of them was carried out on Henry Gustav Molaison, an epileptic(癫痫患者). In an operation in the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, the man suffered less from epilepsy. But there was a new problem—he couldn’t remember things!
What went wrong with Molaison’s memory system? Through tests, scientists found he could learn skills (slowly, though). However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. In other words, Molaison could develop new procedural, but not declarative memories.
Scientists found that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last longer. However, they haven’t found out why. Some say it is because they are stored in the brain’s center. Now, “just like riding a bicycle” has been used as an idiom. Can you guess its meaning? Yes, people use it to describe ________.
【1】The author mentions our difficulty in remembering the name of a person or a place mainly to show that ________.
A.our memories often fail us
B.there are many types of memories
C.it’s hard to forget how to ride a bicycle
D.people become more forgetful as they age
【2】Which of the following is an example of procedural memory?
A.Playing the violin.
B.The location of Italy.
C.Our first day at school.
D.The first time I rode a bicycle.
【3】What was Henry Gustav Molaison’s new problem after the operation in the 1950s?
A.He couldn’t learn new skills.
B.He couldn’t remember anything.
C.He suffered more often from epilepsy.
D.He couldn’t develop new declarative memories.
【4】Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?
A.an ability that one is born with.
B.a task that takes a long time to complete.
C.a skill that, once learned, is never forgotten.
D.something that be learned as early as possible.
