branded as“Neet”not in education，employment or traininghas risen amid growing fears that schoolleavers are bearing the_brunt of_job_shortages_in_the_recession.Some 261,000 young people had no job or training place，according to official data.The figure rose to 1,082,000 among 16to24yearolds.The conservatives branded the figures“shocking”David Willetts，the shadow skills secretary，said：“It is a damning indictment of the governments failure to help young people during the recession.”“Despite all Gordon Browns guarantees and pledges，the number of young people neither earning nor learning is increasing at a rate of more than 9,000 a week.Ministers must stop making empty gestures that do so little to help young people.”The government has a target to reduce the proportion of young Neets to 7.6 per cent by next year.The latest annual data from the Department for Children，Schools and Families put the figure at 10.3 per cent by the end of 2020.The percentage of 16to18yearolds who fell into the same bracket remained higher in the past year than in the previous 12 months，it was revealed.In a further disclosure，figures for the third quarter of this year show almost a fifth of 16to24yearolds were in the categorymore than at any point since 2020.Iain Wright，the Schools Minister，said：“We are giving all 16to17yearolds the opportunity to stay in education or training so they can gain the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive labour market.”“We must not repeat the mistakes that were made in recessions of the past and abandon a whole generation of young people.We recognize that we need to carry on helping young people through this tough economic climate.”He said the government would offer every Neet a place on an“Entry of Employment”course in January.1According to what David Willetts said，the number of young people neither earning or learning will increase about _ in a year.A261,000B1,082,000C9,000 D432,0002The underlined sentence in

process different types of memory.Researchers Nigel Gopie，of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto，and Colin MacLeod，of the University of Waterloo，divided memory into two kinds.The first was source memory，or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from.The second was destination memory，or the ability to recall whom we have given information to.They found that source memory functions better than destination memory，in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling.To study the differences between source and destination memory，the researchers did an experiment on 60 university students，according to a New York Times report.The students were asked to associate 50 random(随意的)facts with the faces of 50 famous people.Half of the students“told”each fact to one of the faces，reading it aloud when the celebritys picture appeared on a computer screen.The other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward.When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces，the students who were giving information out(destination memory)scored about 16 percent lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information(source memory)The researchers concluded that outgoing information was less associated with its environmental context(背景)that is，the personthan incoming information.This makes sense given what is known about attention.A person who is giving information even little facts，will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said.Because our attention is finite(有限的)，we give less attention to the person we are giving information to.After a second experiment with another group of 40 students，the researchers concluded that selffocus is another factor that undermines destination memory.They asked half the students to continue giving out random information，while the other told things about themselves.This time around，those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving random information.“When you start telling these personal facts compared with nonself facts，suddenly destination memory goes down more，suggesting that it is the selffocus component(成分)thats reducing the memory，”Gopie told Live Science.5The point of this article is to _.Agive advice on how to improve memoryBtell what causes the memory to worsenCexplain why we repeat stories to the same personDintroduce different kinds of memories6Those who read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterwards _.Acan memorize more informationBhave worse memoryCare more likely to repeat storiesDpaid more attention to themselves7The underlined word“undermines”probably means“_”Aweakens BbenefitsCexplains
