21、The next time your brain refuses to recall a simple fact or name, be thankful. That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.

The researchers say there are numerous neurobiological(神经生物学的)studies conducted on how the brain stores information, a process called persistence (暂留). However, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a are an the brain. In 2013, scientists discovered that as new neurons combine with the hippocampus(海马区)----a region of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and remembering---they overwrite old memories, making them harder to access. There is also evidence that the brain weakens or removes connections between neurons, in which memories are encoded.

The scientists have a theory on why the brain spends so much energy erasing memories. They say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. An example is that our brains remember phone numbers according to the need. Instead of storing this irrelevant information that our phones can store for us, our brains are freed up to store the memories that actually do matter for us. They also believe that memorizing too much detail could prevent us from making good decisions.

So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, don’t be hard on yourself. Just throw it to your brain’s “rubbish can” to make room for information that can contribute to making you smarter! Remember, even Albert Einstein was absent-minded!

【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

A. Persistence is not a process to store information

B. Once information is stored in the brain, it will last forever

C. Learning and memorizing take place in the hippocampus

D. New neurons will strengthen old memories

【2】The brain has to erase memories to __________.

A. recall important information

B. store more important information

C. store detail

D. remember phone numbers

【3】If some unimportant information is stored, it will be _________.

A. combined with the hippocampus

B. processed and memorized permanently

C. stored and decoded immediately

D. removed and forgotten soon

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Scientists encourage us to forget things

B. The way our brains memorize and encode

C. Forgetting things may make you smarter

D. Why was Albert Einstein absent-minded?

23、Islands are different from a continent or mainland. The size and isolation of islands have a profound effect on island ecosystems and their inhabitants.

Scientists who specialize in species evolution have found that, among mammal species that settle on islands, big species tend to shrink while small ones are apt to enlarge. This phenomenon, discovered by J. Bristol Foster in 1964, has been called Foster’s rule, or the island effect. For instance, rodents (啮齿动物) living on islands tend toward gigantism, while big mammals are more likely to become dwarfed (矮小的). Although there are a number of exceptions to this pattern, the trend generally holds true for both fossil species and living island mammals.

Foster’s rule shows that body size regulates everything. In a mainland environment, being large is often a safer and adaptive form of avoiding predators. On an island, with few natural predators and less competition, being really big is no longer an advantage; in fact, it can be a hindrance since a huge animal will need a lot more food in order to survive and reproduce.

A new fossil study of island-dwelling proboscideans (长鼻目动物) further shows that the physical attributes and ecological structure of an island may affect the degree of shrinking in big mammals. On relatively balanced and species-rich islands, competition with other species often result in a relatively less dwarfed body size. In contrast, on smaller islands where food sources are limited and competitors lacking, members of this group become smaller surprisingly quickly. On one of the Channel Islands 15 miles off the coast of France, the red deer dwarfed to one-sixth the size of deer on continental Europe in a mere 6,000 years after the island became isolated.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The reasons why mammals change and evolve through time.

B．A comparison of gigantism and dwarfism on different islands.

C．The different patterns of evolution for big and small island mammals.

D．The similarity between the evolution of fossil species and that of living species.

【2】According to the passage, what is a problem big mammals might face on an island?

A．There may be lack of food.

B．It is harder to find shelter for survival there.

C．It may be difficult to move around on small islands.

D．They become less competitive due to fewer reproduction.

【3】How does the author conclude the last paragraph?

A．With a prediction.

B．With a summary.

C．With a suggestion.

D．With an illustration.
