If you have a pet fish, try this _51_. Every day when you feed the fish, sprinkle (撒) the food only in the same location. Keep a record of daily observations (观察) of the fish, taking down notes about the fishs swimming directions or behavior whenever you come to feed it. Before long, the fish should swim to the spot where you sprinkle the food whenever you approach (靠近) the tank. See how it reacts (反应) to your approaching the tank and take notes before, during, and after your experiment. In this example of animals memory, we dont really know if your fish knows the fact that you are going to feed it. But it has showed its _53_ ability to learn and to remember.Bees _54_ with each other in a way which shows an intelligent memory. When a bee finds a good location for gathering nectar (花蜜), it will remember _55_ to get to this location from its hive (蜂巢).

This information is collected t_56_ the eyes, the nose, the ears, the mouth and the surface of the body. It is then kept in the memory. In fact, s_57_ do not completely understand how the memory works but they are not sure how much information that the human brain can store. Also, it appears that the information is never lost. Very old people often remember things that happened in their c_58_ which have not come to their minds for sixty to seventy years. If we have kept something in our memory, it is here. But can we get it out a_59_ and use it? That is the difficulty. Some of the information we receive only goes into the Short Term Memory. We only keep this information for a minute or two, then we lose it. This temporary （暂时的）memory is very important in our thinking and understanding. It is used, for example, w_60_ you try to remember a name that someone told you a moment ago or a telephone number that you are going to dial. School children in class often seem to use the Short Term Memory if they are not i_61_ in the subject. When school teachers describe this, they say that things go “in one ear and out in the other”. But if a child is interested, he puts the information in his Long Term Memory, and he never loses it. Long Term Memory d_62_ heavily on our understanding of the meaning of the information we receive.56. t 57. s 58. c 59. a 60.w 61.i 62. d D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (6分)Dear sir or madam,I am writing in relation to（关于）your advertisement about a course on improving memory. I am a 22-year old student of Computer Science at Sapienza University of Rome. I am seeking your help because lately I have been finding it very difficult to remember important facts from both my subjects and my personal life. I dont know if it is because of stress or, perhaps, the use of the computer. I was told that using computers too much may cause this kind of memory issues（问题）. Anyway, one thing is for sure: I find it very hard to remember things, such as names, dates, places, numbers, and so on. No matter how often I try to remember things, they always seem to leave out of my mind. I feel that I am just like an old woman who is already more than eighty years old. As you can imagine, all of this is becoming much too annoying (令人恼怒的) and I wish I could improve my memory even slightly (稍微地).Would you be so kind as to give my further information about the methods taught on the course? Moreover, I need to know the schedule (日程) of the classes as I dont have much free time and I cannot afford to give up university lectures. I would be thankful if you could also provide me with the information about the cost of the course as well.In a word, I really want to solve my problem of poor memory and I hope that you can offer me some help as soon as possible. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
