When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.
Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.
My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.
And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities.
Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.
4. During Senior One, what does the writer want to do first
A. Focus on improving her overall grades.
B. Join as many school clubs as possible.
C. Learn how to manage her time well.
D. Spend more time on outdoor activities.
5. What is the attitude of the writer towards failure
A. Discouraged. B. Brave. C. Worried. D. Careful.
6. What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean
A. It is the opposite. B. It is difficult.
C. It is necessary. D. It is helpful.
7. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage
A. To share her goals for the coming school year.
B. To stress the importance of health to students.
C. To show what she likes about high school life.
D. To explain how to balance studies and activities.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者分享了自己在新的一年里对于生活学习的规划。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to spend my time better.(我希望在高一学到的第一件事是能够更好地利用我的时间)”可知，作者希望在新的一年提高自己管理时间的能力，学会管理好自己的时间。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams.(最后，我希望我不会因为失败而气馁，永远不要放弃我的梦想)”可知，作者不会因为失败而气馁。由此推知，作者对失败的态度是勇敢的。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”(爱因斯坦曾经说过：“生活就像骑自行车。为了保持平衡，你必须不停地移动。”)”以及后文“In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes.(为了保持运动，我必须保持平衡——学习与活动、效率与拖延、学业与健康、爱好与厌恶之间的平衡)”可知，前后文的意思相反，所以划线部分“it’s the other way around”应是“正好相反”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different. (当有人问我来年的目标是什么时，我通常不知道如何回答。当然，我和大多数人一样，希望看到我的成绩有所提高。然而，今年，我希望能有一些不同的东西)”以及最后一段中的“The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I establish these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.(新的旅程将会是艰难的，但如果我确立了这些目标，我相信我能坚持到底)”可知，作者要分享他在新的一年里希望除了学习进步外，有一些不一样，后面详细介绍了他接下来的高中生活中的目标。故选A项。
C
At Beijing’s Palace Museum, it sometimes seems that time stands still, but the clocks keep ticking at a small workshop there. This is where clock conservator (文物修复员) Qi Haonan works. .
As part of the fourth generation of conservators to repair and restore antique (古老的) clocks at the museum since 1949, Qi has returned more than 100 clocks to their former glory.
After having majored in mechanical automation during his university studies, Qi joined the cultural relics restoration department at the Palace Museum in 2005. “In the beginning, everything in the palace was new to me. It made me excited to even think about repairing antique clocks,” the 41-year-old told China Daily. But reality soon weakened his warmth. There is a rule at the museum: For the first year you can look, but not touch. From 8 a. m. to5 p. m. every day, he checked and took apart watches and clocks collected from his friends to practice. After a year of repeated work, he could finally get his hands on the clocks in the museum and get a better understanding of the job. To him, restoring such clocks doesn’t mean making them look brand-new. Through cleaning and restoration, he tries to keep them in their original form, bringing back their former function.
Qi still remembered the excitement he felt when the hands of his first repaired clock began to move. It was a French clock, which took him a month to restore. “What amazes me most about these clocks is that they combine the scientific advances, technological precision (精确) and trends in decorative art of their particular times,” Qi told China Daily.
Although the antique clock repairing special skills at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage in 2014, it was still a little-known skill and the specialty was in short supply of professionals. Until 2016, a 3-part TV documentary, Masters in the Forbidden City, made it possible to the public.
Qi started posting videos about the antique clocks on social media in 2019, giving viewers a look into the work. “With rising attention and influence, antique clock restoration can not only be further developed, but also expanded to more museums which house antique clocks and watches,” Qi told China Daily.
8. What can be known about the clock conservator Qi Haonan
A. He began to work at the Palace Museum in 1949.
B. He learned how to restore antique clocks at university.
C. He has decided to rescue the cultural relics restoration.
D. He is part of the fourth generation of clock conservators.
9. Why did Qi Haonan lose a bit of warmth at the beginning of his work
A. He couldn’t touch the antique clocks.
B. He was asked to do much repeated work.
C. He had to collect clocks from his friends.
D. He didn’t understand the meaning of restoration.
10. What does restoring antique clocks mean to Qi Haonan
A. Keeping them clean and brand-new.
B. Making them more beautiful and valuable than ever.
C. Getting them back to their original form and function.
D. Combining scientific advances and technological precision.
11. Which word can best describe the future of antique clock restoration
A. Worrying. B. Uncertain. C. Hopeless. D. Promising.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章从故宫古钟表文物修复员亓昊楠的视角讲述了故宫古钟表修复工作。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As part of the fourth generation of conservators to repair and restore antique (古老的) clocks at the museum since 1949, Qi has returned more than 100 clocks to their former glory.(作为自1949年以来第四代修复故宫古钟表的文物修复员，亓已经将100多只钟恢复了昔日的辉煌)”可知，亓昊楠是第四代故宫古钟表文物修复员之一，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But reality soon weakened his warmth. There is a rule at the museum: For the first year you can look, but not touch.(但现实很快就削弱了他的热情。博物馆有个规定：第一年你可以看，但不能摸)”可知，亓昊楠开始工作时失去了一点热情，是因为第一年他不能触碰古钟表。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Through cleaning and restoration, he tries to keep them in their original form, bringing back their former function.(通过清理和修复，他试图保持它们的原始形态，恢复它们以前的功能)”可知，对亓昊楠来说，修复古钟表意味着使它们恢复到原来的形态和功能，故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘With rising attention and influence, antique clock restoration can not only be further developed, but also expanded to more museums which house antique clocks and watches,’ Qi told China Daily.(亓在接受《中国日报》采访时表示：‘随着关注度和影响力的提高，古钟表修复不仅可以进一步发展，还可以扩展到更多收藏古钟表的博物馆。’)”可知，古钟表修复的未来是光明的。故选D。
D
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be destructive.
However, research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate (激活) empathy (共鸣) and the desire to connect with others—both ways through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and improve your condition from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music can activate feelings of empathy, sympathy, and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the loss of yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” strengthened their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously had their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show facing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—leads to healing and growth beyond it. In short, admitting your full experience arouses hope. For example, research from Cornell University, found that admitting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, leads to motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
12. What can we learn from the study from Germany
A. Listening to sad music can cure people of heartache.
B. Realizing their sadness, people may willingly listen to sad music.
C. Embracing sadness, people can have a better future.
D. Listening to sad music can motivate people to connect with others.
13. Which of the following best illustrates the course of the psychologically healing of sadness
A. activate→connect→accept→grow B. accept→activate→connect→grow
C. connect→accept→activate→grow D. connect→activate→accept→grow
14. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 possibly mean
A. Walk alongside discomfort. B. Sadness stops you from growing.
C. Say no to those challenge you. D. Difficulties will not always stay with you.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Listening to music makes you happy. B. Facing sadness bravely brings about hope.
C. Sad music can help people through. D. Music helps people accept sad reality.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听悲伤的音乐有助于人们治愈坏心情。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段“A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music can activate feelings of empathy, sympathy, and a desire for positive connection with others. (德国最近的一项研究发现，听悲伤音乐的情感影响可以激活移情、同情和与他人建立积极联系的愿望。)”可知，一份德国的研究表明，听悲伤的音乐可以激励人们与他人建立联系。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二自然段“It can activate (激活) empathy (共鸣) and the desire to connect with others—both ways through the prison of heartache and despair. (它可以激活同理心和与他人联系的欲望，这两者可以帮助你走出心碎绝望的牢笼。)”以及最后一段“These findings link with other studies that show facing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—leads to healing and growth beyond it. (这些发现与其他研究相联系，这些研究表明，面对悲伤的处境，在情感上接受现实会带来治愈和超越现实的成长。)”可知，“激活→联系→接受→成长”最能说明悲伤的心理愈合过程。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段划线句后“That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope. (这种不适会让你制定一个计划，一个新的行动。它激发了希望。)”可知，划线部分“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”意为我们要与不适同行。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二自然段“However, research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate (激活) empathy (共鸣) and the desire to connect with others—both ways through the prison of heartache and despair. (但研究表明，心痛是可以治愈的。听悲伤的音乐就是其中一种治愈方式。它可以帮助你重新感受生活的喜悦和希望，可以激活同理心和与他人联系的欲望，这两者可以帮助你走出心碎绝望的牢笼。)”可知，文章主要介绍了听悲伤的音乐有助于人们治愈坏心情。故选C。

Thinking about the past week did any of you forget where you put your phone Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended What is going on here Is your memory failing
It’s not. ____16____Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. ____17____ Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget
____18____Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you're exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus(刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. ____19____Why does this happen The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation(激活)of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. ____20____
A. One necessary factor is attention.
B. It’s doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D. Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn’t.
E. You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F. It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G. Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。记忆力非常重要但并非完美，我们总是忘记事情，文章分析了原因并提出一些帮助记忆建议。
【16题详解】
第一段末尾提出问题“Is your memory failing (你的记忆力失灵了吗 )”，第二段首句“It’s not.”给出否定回答，B项“It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.（它在做它应该做的事）”是对上文答语的补充，其中It与上文It一致，都是指代“memory”，下文“Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. （尽管记忆在我们的生活中是非凡的、必要的、常见的存在，但它远非完美。我们的大脑并不是用来记住别人的名字的，也不是用来记住以后要做的事情或者把我们经历的每件事都记录下来）”更进一步说明了B项“what it’s supposed to do”的含义。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文“Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience.（我们的大脑并不是用来记住别人的名字的，也不是用来记住以后要做的事情或者把我们经历的每件事都记录下来）”讲大脑的缺陷，C项“These imperfections are simply the factory settings.（这些不完美只是简单的工厂设置）”解释了缺陷存在的原因，句中“These imperfections”指代上文所述大脑的缺陷，符合上下文连贯。故选C。
【18题详解】
第二段末尾提出问题“So what determines what we remember and what we forget (那么是什么决定了我们记住什么，忘记什么呢 )”提出问题，下文“Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you’re exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.（你的记忆不是一台摄像机，不是不间断地记录下你所接触到的每一种景象和声音。你只能记住你所关心的。因此，忘记别人说了什么或把车停在哪里的一个主要原因就是缺乏注意力）”分析了遗忘的原因是：缺乏注意力，A项“One necessary factor is attention.（一个必要的因素是注意力）”回答了上文的问题，也是下文的概括，承上启下，符合上下文连贯。故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure.（“一时想不起来”是记忆失灵最常见的经历之一）”提到“一时想不起来”这一现象，E项“You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.（你试图想出一个单词，但你在记忆中找不到它）”对这一现象进行进一步说明，同时引出下文问题“Why does this happen （为什么会发生这种情况？）”，符合上下文连贯。故选E。
【20题详解】
上文“Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there.（回到你来在这个房间之前的那个房间，想想那里有什么线索）”提出找回之前记忆的方法，F项“It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.（它将立即让你想起刚才完全迷糊的事情）”说明了这样做的效果，符合上下文连贯。故选F。

If you want to know something about British life, their spirit, and even their humor, watching some classic British films will certainly help. Here are some recommended to you.
Notting Hill
After the success of his film Four Weddings and a Funeral, writer and producer Richard Curtis captured the essence of being British in 1999’s Notting Hill. Set against the background of affluent (富足的) West London, the film became popular for its charming and funny portrayal(刻画) of a British nobody trying to impress a Hollywood star.
The Full Monty
This 1997 film is a Sheffield-based comedy about six unemployed men who form a group to make money for a better life. Despite its hummer, the film dives deeper into some serious issues surrounding working-class culture. The Full Monty is an uplifting film that gives an insight into the work and life of the working class in Britain.

Danny Boyle’s 1996 comedy-drama Trainspotting is about a group of Scots in the 1980s, based on the book by Irvine Welsh. With a cast of truly great actors including Ewan MeGregor, the tale impressed the audience globally. It rapidly became a critical success.
Monty Python’s Life of Brian
Featuring a jam-packed cast of comedic stars. Monty Python’s Life of Brian tells the story of a young man who is in a case of mistaken identity.

When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.
Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.
My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.
And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities.
Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.
4. During Senior One, what does the writer want to do first
A Focus on improving her overall grades.
B. Join as many school clubs as possible.
C. Learn how to manage her time well.
D. Spend more time on outdoor activities.
5. What is the attitude of the writer towards failure
A. Discouraged. B. Brave. C. Worried. D. Careful.
6. What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean
A. It is the opposite. B. It is difficult.
C. It is necessary. D. It is helpful.
7. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage
A. To share her goals for the coming school year.
B. To stress the importance of health to students.
C. To show what she likes about high school life.
D. To explain how to balance studies and activities.
C
At Beijing’s Palace Museum, it sometimes seems that time stands still, but the clocks keep ticking at a small workshop there. This is where clock conservator (文物修复员) Qi Haonan works. .
As part of the fourth generation of conservators to repair and restore antique (古老的) clocks at the museum since 1949, Qi has returned more than 100 clocks to their former glory.
After having majored in mechanical automation during his university studies, Qi joined the cultural relics restoration department at the Palace Museum in 2005. “In the beginning, everything in the palace was new to me. It made me excited to even think about repairing antique clocks,” the 41-year-old told China Daily. But reality soon weakened his warmth. There is a rule at the museum: For the first year you can look, but not touch. From 8 a. m. to5 p. m. every day, he checked and took apart watches and clocks collected from his friends to practice. After a year of repeated work, he could finally get his hands on the clocks in the museum and get a better understanding of the job. To him, restoring such clocks doesn’t mean making them look brand-new. Through cleaning and restoration, he tries to keep them in their original form, bringing back their former function.
Qi still remembered the excitement he felt when the hands of his first repaired clock began to move. It was a French clock, which took him a month to restore. “What amazes me most about these clocks is that they combine the scientific advances, technological precision (精确) and trends in decorative art of their particular times,” Qi told China Daily.
Although the antique clock repairing special skills at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage in 2014, it was still a little-known skill and the specialty was in short supply of professionals. Until 2016, a 3-part TV documentary, Masters in the Forbidden City, made it possible to the public.
Qi started posting videos about the antique clocks on social media in 2019, giving viewers a look into the work. “With rising attention and influence, antique clock restoration can not only be further developed, but also expanded to more museums which house antique clocks and watches,” Qi told China Daily.
8. What can be known about the clock conservator Qi Haonan
A. He began to work at the Palace Museum in 1949.
B. He learned how to restore antique clocks at university.
C. He has decided to rescue the cultural relics restoration.
D. He is part of the fourth generation of clock conservators.
9. Why did Qi Haonan lose a bit of warmth at the beginning of his work
A He couldn’t touch the antique clocks.
B. He was asked to do much repeated work.
C. He had to collect clocks from his friends.
D. He didn’t understand the meaning of restoration.
10. What does restoring antique clocks mean to Qi Haonan
A. Keeping them clean and brand-new.
B. Making them more beautiful and valuable than ever.
C. Getting them back to their original form and function.
D. Combining scientific advances and technological precision.
11. Which word can best describe the future of antique clock restoration
A. Worrying. B. Uncertain. C. Hopeless. D. Promising.
D
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be destructive.
However research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate (激活) empathy (共鸣) and the desire to connect with others—both ways through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and improve your condition from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music can activate feelings of empathy, sympathy, and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the loss of yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” strengthened their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously had their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show facing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—leads to healing and growth beyond it. In short, admitting your full experience arouses hope. For example, research from Cornell University, found that admitting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, leads to motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
12. What can we learn from the study from Germany
A. Listening to sad music can cure people of heartache.
B. Realizing their sadness, people may willingly listen to sad music.
C. Embracing sadness, people can have a better future.
D. Listening to sad music can motivate people to connect with others.
13. Which of the following best illustrates the course of the psychologically healing of sadness
A. activate→connect→accept→grow B. accept→activate→connect→grow
C. connect→accept→activate→grow D. connect→activate→accept→grow
14. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 possibly mean
A. Walk alongside discomfort. B. Sadness stops you from growing.
C. Say no to those challenge you. D. Difficulties will not always stay with you.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Listening to music makes you happy. B. Facing sadness bravely brings about hope.

Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended What is going on here Is your memory failing
It’s not. ____16____Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. ____17____ Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget

The other has something to do with stimulus(刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. ____19____Why does this happen The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation(激活)of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. ____20____
A. One necessary factor is attention.
B. It’s doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
