There are three kinds of memory: sense memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Think of them as three connected rooms in which you store different kinds of memories.
The first kind of memory is sense memory. Everything you are sensing right now is stored here. Perhaps you feel the sun on your face or smell the aroma(香味) of food. Sense memories last only a few seconds, but they connect one moment to the next. They give your life a flow, even though they are quickly forgotten.
You keep a few items(条目) in working memory. These are memories you need for what you are doing. Suppose you look up a friend’s telephone number in the phone book. You’ll probably remember the number for a little while. But if you get distracted (分神), you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working memory for just a few days at most. Working memory has another limit, too. Only a small number of items fit into it at any given ti
A. The number of stored items is limited.
B. The information contained is lasting.
C. It stays only while you work.

Our sense of smell, which we normally take for granted, is nowadays being increasingly used for purposes which might surprise us if we aware of them. One area in which smells are created to achieve particular results is marketing. For some time manufacturers have taken advantage of our sense of smell with regard to household goods. Millions of dollars are spent on product research in the hunt for the right smell as it is believed perfume influnences the way consumers perceive a brand. In a survey in the United States, when people were asked what was the most important factor in their choice of detergent (洗衣粉) , smell was rated highly, above ingredients and price.
Now stores are becoming even more direct in their use of smell. The smell of fresh bread in a supermarket tends to encourage people to buy, and people selling their houses are recommended to have coffee being heated when potential buyers arrive.
A. not important
B. as important as price
C. less important than ingredients
D. more important than price

My family wanted me home every other weekend, but I didn’t fit in there anymore. I’d argue constantly with my father, who still treated me like a child. My sister thought I was "uppity". Everyone was miserable, and I felt guilty. I decided to try treatment when my friends got fed up with me. They didn’t want to talk about my problems any more, but my problems were the major focus of my life. I needed someone who could help me understand what was happening to me. I’d seen ads for the counseling center and decided to give it a try.

It was just a phone call, but it was the starting point that got me to the professional help I needed.

The sense of honor appears to be dying.
In World War II men died more or less willingly for the nation and the nation’s honor, and they were honored for it in return. Now we have become cynical about such things, the nation lies, fights unjustifiable wars; the nation suffer a breach in the honor code.
At my college the students used to agree to inform on their friends rather than suffer a breach in the honor code.A sense of honor is a sense that there ’me standards of behavior one must live up to, even at the cost of one’s per send happiness, even at the Cost of one’s life. Without such a sense one has to make up one’s rights and wrongs as one goes along——usually, as it happens, to one’s own advantage. Morality thereby becomes a matter of expediency: nothing seems worth dying for, and life loses its beauty and some of its value.
Our recent history has deprived us of models. I cherish the story of
